[@dgetzin]

This is definitively the best version of John cage bubblegum ever put to tape.

[@Christhebeen]

Peel always got the best of bands from his sessions. His shoes will never be filled........

[@motionsuggests]

I've only listened to Dots and Loops so far.. Didn't expect a glorious noise rock solo. Just what I want in a band.

Well said …

This is the single best Live Lab session ever recorded.
Great reminder of them at their absolute peak... and that they were a highly under-rated rock and roll band, not content to just play bachelor pad grooves

[@dgetzin]

You cut off the end! Laetitia's dismissive "yë yë yë" is such an excellent ending.

[@njclondon2009]

brilliant track. what makes this clip even better is john peel at the start. thanks for posting this, please don't take it down.

[@NickRowsell]

I second the above statement ...

[@awrygargoyle]

John Cage Bubblegum sounds amazing

[@brianchu1119]

just wanna leave the same comment :)

[@threecorneredvoid]

Such a wonderful, perfect song. They played a mind-boggling extended version of this when I saw them in around 2000 with tons of feedback towards the end.

[@jmahon17]

My favorite version
Thks for recording gain low
It goes to eleven...

[@dgetzin]

Best version of John Cage Bubblegum ever,

[@NickRowsell]

I’d go along with that Dude …

[@NickRowsell]

I remember this session and like so many others its superb. Thanks John, your star will forever burn bright in the firmament of true magicians.

This whole set-pure brilliance-saw them at the howlin wolf in New Orleans 2001-damn near shook the joint to the ground-sadly this band will never be recognized for their greatness-the best ones rarely are....

[@threadpusher]

Personally I got into them around their Jazzy downtempo transition. I Love their entire discog.

[@rixcaff9398]
