So impressed with how much Mark and Candida add to the songs live. It can get lost a bit on a big stage with so many musicians and Jarvis being so watchable. Poor Nick, just the cajón for company!
They did Mark dirty on the wrong chord during Something Changed! Do they usually leave-in false starts?
Isn't that intro to TIH just beautiful? Love those violins and when they do it at the live gigs.
I usually hate those cajons but he works it well does Nick and the cymbals are more gentle with the mallet sticks. It works well.
I was thinking the same, Andy, with some of the violin contributions on More, they got the Russell sound at times throughout that.
Same, Eamonn, yeah, there was a bum note somewhere but if they just kept going I wouldn't have even known who hit it! Poor Mark
Acrylic Afternoons sounds bloody awesome. They could easily olay the whole of His N Hers and it'd be fantastic. What a lovely thing the whole concert is and what a magical band they are. I loved Jarvis chastising Mark.
Sounds good to me, "This is Hardcore" was a particular highlight: a big song in such a small place. In fact, it reminded me of the stripped down version they played in 1999.
Maybe this is how they could perform the lost 1999 album "The Quiet Revolution". Anyone fancy hiring out their working-from-home tiny office?
Adrift in a world of his'n'hers interiors...
I know the band aren't keen on the album promo treadmill but having them back in the forefront like they are now has been amazing this year, and we're truly getting spoilt with things like this.

wow. How good was This is Hardcore. Even though the studio version is phenomenal the stripped back (but its not really stripped back..) version brings out all the rich detail. Oh and dont get me started on Acrylic Afternoons. I dont really like acoustic sets but this was something else. As with Pulp it always is. My god they are so back. Anyone living in 1995 was this what it was like?
I know this is OT but I have always loved Grizzly Bear and feel like Pulp on More are kind of channelling some of their sonic goodness. And thats really evident (to me) on this TinyDesk ep.
