I was there. Spontaneously went on sunday morning, flying from my hometown to Berlin, taking the train to Melt and arriving there with a friend by noon. Maybe just to meet that girl I met once a few weeks before. Had the time of my life, probably the best festival day I ever experienced. The XX live was the cherry on top. Kissed that girl while dancing in the crowd like there never wouldn't be a monday following that day. Took the train to berlin with her on monday evening after spending the day after the festival on the camping grounds coming down from the night, never saw her again afterwards. But the memories of all those hours at Melt getting lost in the music with someone I didn't even really know before are cherished to this day. Not a story about the girl, but about enjoying every single second to the fullest and making memories for a lifetime.
Every morning when I drive to work, the thing is on. I drive for 45 minutes, have a good coffee and a cigarette, and then sit in the car in the parking lot for the last 15 minutes....
I saw them in Austin 10 years ago. The way The XX creates this protective sonic cocoon live is incredible. When I saw them years ago, the purple haze mixed with their sound literally enveloped the whole crowd it was like being wrapped in sound and light at the same time. Their reverb heavy guitars and bass frequencies physically moved through the colored air, creating this perfect balance of feeling exposed but completely safe. It's similar to how James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson's light installations make you feel held in space, but The XX does it with both sound and visuals. The darkness between the lights worked like musical rests, and time felt both frozen and flowing. Their music has this way of creating complete environments that let you feel deeply while feeling protected. I actually cried during their show they somehow sound even better live than on recordings, which I never knew was possible. Watching this brings it all back. 💜 58:34
Only just discovered this upload. I was there. Melt was fantastic every single year but 2018 and this concert... it was an experience that can’t be described in words. Feeling so much joy deep inside. It was like I could really feel that my heart got warmer, bigger, fuller... unexplainable. Thanks for the upload!

You have no idea about music if you missed this, just outstanding
These two can't hold a note to save their lives and STILL they sound lovely.
