Levellers - probably playing!

[mikeb]

Yaaaay !! another '94 vid and one that (almost) rivals the bestest Levellers vid ever as posted earlier !

And now just a mere 9 days almost to the minute until the AMG venues bit of the current tour kicks off with the opening gig being rather conveniently located only several hundred yards away from me and (very fortunately) well within real easy staggering distance Sonic Boom 6 (or maybe that should be somewhat <6 these days ) as support it would appear. Hmmmm, they're not really my kinda thing but they do sound more than OK so it's all looking good for a night of cold, gassy, over-priced so-called 'beer' of whatever dubious variety AMG dispenses these days, a not-too-bad support act and a bl**dy good Levellers gig albeit of slightly smaller proportions than the one (hopefully) to be enjoyed somewhere towards the end of June next year

Going to the bournemouth and london shows, will be sweet sb6 rock!

[timespeedsup]

Any other Glasto goers or Levs fans going to the London show this Friday night??

...

[Harrow Strongbow Ciderman!]

Looks like a no. Hope you enjoyed it.

I will be getting out of Cyberspace for Dreadzone next weekend as you know though.....

[darrenbha]

glad you enjoyed it mate.

[timespeedsup]

Levs were fantastic live in London tonight.

They are on tour again next April & hopefully see them at Glasto too.

[Mardy]

last time I saw the levellers would have been early 90s, have they changed much?

[Mardy]

This has prompted me to dig out my old McDermott's Two Hours album. Hooray!

+ Worth mentioning the Levs are of course already headlining another festival next June (Wychwood first weekend of June) so gotta be dead cert on the bill for Glasto.

[timespeedsup]

Plenty of time for a London gig to be announced.

[Mardy]

right, I've now dug out 'A weapon called the word' and 'levelling the land'. That was the point where we parted company, just before that one with the ear of corn on the front. Which other ones are worth getting?

[timespeedsup]

Latest studio offering, Letters from the Underground, is decent and naturally they were playing some tracks from it when I last saw them earlier this year.

I reckon I saw them 14 or 15 times between about 1989/1990 and 93 or 94, then just drifted away from them. Got some really old 12"s somewhere, from before 'A weapon called the word". Might dig them out the attic next time I'm home

Sorry if I missed you all at the London gig. Not sure I definately did though as was chatting to a load of people before the gig in the O'Neils to the left of the venue for a few hours before hand. Was already a bit far gone though so can't remember names etc.

Mark Chadwick was in there for a bit too, so took the oppertunity to ask him about any Glasto plans that might have now been cemented. Of course he said that they had still heard nothing back, but sort of winked like he might have been having to tell people that . . .

Anyway, top gig - bit of a vanilla set perhaps I thought, but good to see Steve Boakes out there with his didg and warpaint once again. Mark sounded a bit croakey when I spoke to him - perhaps that's why Simon covered vocals on a few songs.

my dad is so happy they are trying to get on the pyramid. Must admit they are very good live.

[Tugger2k]

so no news for age.

come on eavii, this has to get done.

with the WH announcement no space left there really,

cant really see them on the other

too big for the park

dont want them to do an acoustic

which surely just leaves a spot on the pyramid

Levellers had a German date over Glasto weekend. We've attempted to find out where this leaves them for Glastonbury but without getting any solid info.

Tho reading between the lines of what we were told to our questions, I'd put money on Levellers playing this year.
