| J-Card Comment | Mercury Rev NME Premier Awards- Astoria, London, UK 21Jan99 2songs Tonite It Shows, Holes, 9 minutes 23 Jonathan Donohue Guitar, vocals Grasshopper Guitar Jeff Mercel drums Adam Snyder keyboards +2 the complete televised part of the set was Tonite It Shows, Holes, Opus 40 but the 3 numbers were shown on different shows over several nights & I lent out a vhs with the one with Opus 40 on which came back taped over. Subsequently you get the 1st 2. Sorry but these should make you happy enough & there is a more complete audio set around By this time a lot of the anarchic quality that was so present in the David Baker era had gone. But this is still pretty great psychedelic influenced rock. As some of the screen text indicates (at least in terms of guests/neighbours)elements of Americana were coming in. I guess they were always there though, thinking back Yerself Is steam struck me as pretty pastoral when I discovered it in my local 2nd hand shop before they became the big buzz. Still puzzles me what the story was there, I guess promo/review copies were sold on. Anyway i think I got a pink/puke coloured lp a good couple of months if not longer before the music rags started raving. I really prefer that era 92-95 but this is still pretty great. Hope that my turning this up will lead to other people uploading some of the earlier stuff. Not sure if the all too short Roskilde Festival 92 set is still up or the 99 Benicassim Festival set dvd.
