The OKNOTOK cassette has leaked.

I'm trawling through it now. It's a treasure trove. The Let Down demo almost made me cry. The old True Love Waits tape loop ended up Pull Revolving Doors. And I'm only a few songs in

Thanks for this. Only started listening this morning but that version of MPS is amazing.

The early National Anthem is both terrible and wondrous as to how something so shitty became something so great. And then mutated into something so different live! What a band.

Thought I'd add this to the Israel debate. Some interesting points, don't think he has researched his argument incredibly but I agree with the general sentiment of what he's saying.

 

[ghostdancer1]

they just uploaded the Best Kept Secret set

 

[Hutchmaster]

I've made an MP3 of the MPS demo from the OKNOTOK cassette if anyone is interested?

In my personal opinion of course the should. The cultural ban is a load of bollocks and just creates more division! The Israel/palestine debate is complicated, both sides are or have been as bad/stupid as each other over the years. Unfortunately it's fashionable to be pro Palestine so this kind of crap goes on.

Just caught up with the bbc coverage of the Trnsmt gig. It really was a cracking set. We watched from the pit and thought they were on top form.

Hopefully back in Glasgow next year on tour.

Did anyone know Eds first ever single purchase ?

[jparx]

I'm sure you've all seen it by now but Ed's signature Strat is absolutely gorgeous. Tempted to chop my telecaster against it.

Oooooh I gawked at that guitar so much at the Manchester show when I realised the pickup combination! Interesting to see Fender release a guitar with Fernandes gear inside.

 

I really want to create a Jonny style Tele Plus (except with a single coil sized hot humbucker - re-routing a Tele for the bridge humbucker would be too risky). Just trying to decide if I want to go whole hog American Tele or just get a mid-range Mexico since I'm chucking the innards out anyway.

Mexican Tele would do the job surely? I've currently got a Modern Player Plus and it's a beast of a guitar. My rule is to only have three guitars so as much as I love it, trading it up for that Strat is seriously tempting!

Three guitars of each type surely?  SO you have to have a six string electric, six string steel acoustic, 12 string acoustic,  12 string electric, six string nylon, 4 string electric bass, 5 string electric bass...

I have two electrics (Epi Dot and Reverend Double Agent), and an acoustic. The long-term dream is to get a Tele and a Strat to cover the major groups, but it all depends on how sensible I'm feeling.  The Tele Plus is definitely highest on my want-list, but not sure if I want to come up with something myself or get the modern player plus (not sure how I feel about that middle pickup!). I quite like the idea of getting a hot bridge humbucker and a classic neck pickup, but not sure if that would be a great mix or a monstrosity. With pickups it's a lot of trial and error....

 

Bringing it back on topic: If I got a Strat, it would be nothing like Ed's. It looks a lovely guitar to have on the side, but if you're only going to get one Strat, you really want that classic Strat sound! That long sustain is great on Myxomatosis but not the most versatile tool around.

Loving the OKNOTOK Cassette. Let Down and Motion Picture Sountrack are glorious. Also really enjoyed the acoustic Airbag.

Would love it if they incorporated some of that Paranoid Android with organ into a live setting. Think that would be pretty special. Also that clip that highlights Phils drumming in Paranoid Android really shows his talent IMO

Did Thoms screeching before Motion Picture Soundtrack scare the shit out of anyone else? 

[Field Commander Jefferson]

Checking in here late but anyway, what a fucking Pyramid set eh?

[cloudb]

OKNOTOK Cassette is certainly interesting but showcases how much better the final versions of those songs are. 

Motion Picture Soundtrack is about the only one that feels like an alternative version as opposed to really rough and early demos. 

Paranoid Android organ solo is amazing and I'd love to hear that version of it at some stage. Sounds even better than the recorded version. 

Has anyone here had the pleasure of coming across previous incarnations of other songs in a live setting? 

[barkley87]

They did a cover of Pink Floyd's 'money' in Tel Aviv tonight. I hope someone uploads a video of that.

Edit: setlist.fm have removed it now. Odd.

Presumably someone added it as a joke...

Tasty looking setlist though.

[Guy Incognito]

Glad they did it. Longest show in 11 years too!

[jparx]

Fuck off. As if they got this for a first encore:

No Surprises

Nude

Like Spinning Plates

Lotus Flower

Paranoid Android

Reckoner

 

That's ridiculous.

The RH Glasto set on iPlayer stops in 6 days according to the BBC site. Is there no way on earth that it can be located on the web after this? I'd planned a right old sesh listening to this back in mid August with a mate who wasn't there. I've purposely not watched any back yet. I see there are individual tracks on You Tube, unsure if it's every song of the setlist or if that'll stay there. Any ideas? Thanks.

The Moon Shaped Pool era is officially over. What a great year and a bit it's been! 

[Tuna]

Dead good. Seen them three times in three very different locations on this tour, with three very different groups of people. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so I'm happy for them to head off for a while, and I'm extremely excited to see what they do next.

I thought the Manchester show was the best the whole band has sounded on this tour. Really impressive stuff.

Gutted they didn't play Spinning Plates though!
