anditmakesmesmile Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Sault - having teased us last weekend with an Instagram post saying “Sault Live London 2023”, they now seem to backtrack with their latest instagram post saying “New unreleased album live for the first and only time”. But presumably to have a live album they had to have a live performance. Did we miss it?? I'm so confused. Can anyone shed any light on what’s going on?

Kaboom Boxer Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 It says “new unreleased album live” not “new live album” so I think it’s a studio album that they will be performing live and that they’ll only be doing so once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, that's how I read it as well + it's very "on brand". They have definitely not played live yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurdy Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 One of the few times I've been lucky in a Ticketmaster queue and I walked. A ton to stand in Drumsheds is baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalviaPlath Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I'm going. It's a pricey ticket for sure but the debut show by one of the most innovative and exciting acts around. It's more than just another gig. You'll pay about the same to stand and watch Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer play slower versions of their thirty year old songs around the country this summer.

anditmakesmesmile Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Apparently London gets Nine. I’m hoping we might get a bit more… it’s only 34 minutes long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anditmakesmesmile Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Actually - yes - I think that’s right. I thin Nine might be next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anditmakesmesmile Posted December 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Was it or wasn’t it worth the ticket price? Hell, yes it was! What an event. I think anyone who was there realised they were witnessing something very special. One of those gigs that in 20 years time people will still be talking about. Hyperbole? Maybe. Keen to hear others’ thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) one of the best things i've been to, we said afterwards all future gigs we see will be disappointing as they've raised the bar so high (possibly hyperbole) Worth twice the price, they probably didn't break even Any chance of giving them a stage day to curate as their multi art creativity seems to dovetail perfectly with the fetival?

SalviaPlath Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Incredible. I feel high still and the only stimulant I had yesterday was an espresso with lunch. Everything was perfectly orchestrated and pulled off. Sort of event it'll take a while to digest. Should be said it was an amazing stage show beyond anything else. You could tell how much thought and effort had gone into it. If you want that kind of show, with record sales and streaming income for most artists being pretty poor, ultimately you're going to have to pay more than your average ticket price. With hindsight some of the whinging about ticket prices now seems a bit ridiculous and perhaps a little entitled too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course - none of the bars were selling booze. Which must have meant the venue would have cost more to hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the case, but it's not reasonable to apply any hindsight to this given how little information was out there ahead of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred quimby Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Glad everyone enjoyed it, would love to have even there. Circumstances against me sadly. Did feel like it could be special. What was the unheard album like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
