    One of the greatest live performances I think I have ever seen. I can't imagine how amazing it must have been for the audience to actually be there at Pitchfork in 2014.
    And, side note. I love the fact that Rachel disappears once her vocal parts are over, but then when we see her again, she's happily filming the audience.
    I want to thank Gregg Araki for getting me into Slowdive. Obviously, I was very young when they first came out, too young to truly appreciate this genre of music, but thanks to the discovery of Araki's films, and his amazing taste in music, I have gotten the chance to discover this true diamond of a band.

    One of the happiest days of my young life was this year when Slowdive not only reunited, but also decided to include this song into their live repertoire. Mind you, they had never performed this song live prior to 2014 (as far as the records show). Good God is this song so utterly breathtaking. This absolutely is my favorite live number of theirs and to me was the show-stopper for this years' tour. I can only hope they expand on this sound and perhaps record another studio album soon!

    I found this group later on in life myself. After Ride, My bloody Valentine, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Robin Guthrie and several more. Slow dive is right up there with all these groups if not better.

    Wow. Shoegaze is ace. It's the best new gendre of music I've heard since The Streets.
