LEFTFIELD


Guest toastrack

Recommended Posts

I saw Leftfield at Barrowlands in April 96. f**k, that makes me feel old. But it was an incredible night. 130 decibel sound system (basically the equivalent of a jet engine from 100 feet away, or strapping a couple of smoke alarms to your napper) in a wee space like that! I saw them again at TITP in 2000, and they were even better. It's gonna be IMMENSE. I don't care if it's only one of them - it's STILL gonna be IMMENSE! I found this wee snippet online......."A Leftfield gig I went to in Bristol remains the loudest thing I’ve ever heard; its diabolical bass resonated in my stomach and skull, and made my brain itch and my ears ring for days. Indeed, the story goes that the first ever Leftfield show, in Amsterdam, came close to being closed for illegal volumes on the sound system. In 1996 the group was banned from ever again playing London’s iconic Brixton Academy, after they made the plaster fall from the ceiling with their cranked-up sound system." :P:P

    • Another one from Sheffield DocFest this weekend, Earth Wind & Fire docu, directed by Questlove. Sensational archive footage, contributions from band members, family, plus a lot of very big fans (Stevie, Lionel, Flea, the Obamas) and a warts n all assessment of the genius / flawed human being that was Maurice White. Also, I never realised he started out as a jazz drummer with Ramsay Lewis. Well worth a watch.
    • In a 6,800-word Substack essay, external, the Clacton MP said "anti-white racism was embedded into the state", and that legislation aimed at equality was a form of "social cleansing"   .https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjkd4mp93zo   The privileged white c**t hasn’t got a clue what racism is. 
    • BBC iPlayer: Will serve as the main hub for past sets, including both recent hits and iconic archival gems. You can explore the BBC iPlayer to watch curated compilations, "Best of Glastonbury" recaps, and on-demand replays of historic headline performances.

[1] Radio & BBC Sounds: Pop-up Glastonbury radio stations on BBC Sounds will feature non-stop coverage, including exclusive mixes and huge sets from past years
