I concur...I don't know if it was just bad luck, but I never did see a good gig of theirs, saw them twice on SWG (the album/period I thought was best), twice on Meds and once on BFTS. The first Meds gig I saw was the low point, Birmingham Academy early in the tour, I have some hazy recollection that Brian got hit with beer early in the set and then just zoned out. The first on SWG (Cambridge 03) and the second on Meds (Wembley Arena 06) were mired by Stef's amps being broken late in the show, both times by stage invaders. For the final time on BFTS, I shouldn't have been so naive, they played most of the then-unreleased album and it was boring as f**k.
I agree, there are some live performance almost PERFECT in terms of sound, tuning and inspiration, on the other hand there are some performance very very poor. it is not easy to get a great performance always i know. In my opinion the best tour were the BMM and SWG, 2001 and 2003 tours. Rock am ring 2003 is a WOOOOWWW! check it out guys!!!. I loved when they used to start their shows with HAEMOGLOBIN! Killer track in 2001, in the later tours they never played that song again! SAD!
Indeed, but somehow it works for Steve, the same with the kit being angled up and quite high away from him. His mate Ravi from My Vitriol is another very-low sitter, possibly even lower. ua-cam.com/video/EvlaUoXK2mw/v-deo.html
@@drumtracksdirect Yes, I also paid attention to Ravi. I am 1.96 tall and don't feel very comfortable when sitting high on a drum throne. I have a feeling that when Steve played on Sonor, he was technically better at playing: there was more groove in his playing and the sound production/articluation itself was more precise.
@@mikitasinking4890 Can't say I've ever noticed a difference in Steve, between playing on Sonor or Yamaha, especially after he started using Brady snares. Cymbal-wise though, the Sabians were perfect for him and their sound. I don't like the Zildjians so much, here.
@ I mean, the whole accuracy and originality of the drum putt have changed over time, not for the better for sure. Just look at him at WYIN and BMM era - he‘s definitely on the top of his creativity. ua-cam.com/video/GDLEHFcpbiA/v-deo.htmlsi=nGa3Os-dLo18V4RE
Still class to this day
pro trick: you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Wesson Shepherd Yup, I've been watching on Flixzone for years myself :D
@Wesson Shepherd yup, been using Flixzone for since december myself =)
Thanks for uploading - takes me back to a better time.
13 years ago I listened lately until the tear flies in quality...
Love this band!
This bald Brian drives me crazy wow!is gorgeous!
there is no running that can hide you, 'cause i can see in the dark
old placebo - best placebo
ridiculous how the people comment about this band, and never realize the lyrics, Molko is the best lyricist I ve ever listened to
+Adrián Saldívar lol
Adrián Saldívar He's writing great lyrics but in my opinion, Jeff Buckley was the best songwriter
Timidium it's all about your personal taste but Jeff Buckley? OK... Haha
Adrián Saldívar Yes Jeff Buckley, his lyrics are poetry, listen to his record "Grace" and others songs from "Sketches From My Sweetheart The Drunk"
'cause you take too many drugs like him XD
Thanks for share this excellent show!!
Irresistiblemente hermoso este hombre por Dios!
Best placebo
amazing
I absoliutely adore bold Bryan he's so hot.. and the fas on 7:22 is so cute...
MEDS ERA IS THE BEST!
Agree! 👍
clearly infra red is a song i can dedicate to my worst enemy
You are the first one to swim across the Seine....
great live set however I always feel the live version of "Every me, every you" has the punch taken out of it with this arrangement.
Yeah the early years of it live was great but this performance was all over the place
what did stefan say in the end?
too much pal cuerpo
Oh no Brian where's your hair! At least the holy trinity is still intact, Brian Molko, Stephen Oswald and Steve Hewitt
lol
45:20 WTF?
These are fuckin killer live👍 but gotta say awful when not🤷♂️

It’s impossible to sit that low behind the drum set
