The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

To those people who missed it or had problems with it would it be a small comfort if i hazarded a guess that this may appear as an official DVD?

Would make sense don't you think? Tie in with the success of LES and her emerging populist popularity?

However it appears i want it

Best live show i think i have ever seen!!!!!!

It was bang, bang, bang; one brillant song/great performance after another. I thought all of them were on top form. Loved Mick performing with his giant organ!!!!!!!

Interestingly with the extra three songs shown on the set list i thought that if we ...

Anybody like to hazard a guess for timings on this one?

We're tight on getting the last train out of town to the sticks/hicksville!

I contacted the RAH and they replied that the performance was scheduled to finish at 11.00pm. As the livestream on Monday is starting at 8.15 i assume (dangerously ...

Simon Price = Twat.

I'm not in a good mood today!

Just checking :wink:

I think the main thing about the wandering about during the performance was that he expected to go 'for a mid song wee'. Why not have the common decency to wait for the finish of the song and move in the break?
My pet hate is people who go to a show and treat it as a social ...

Thanks for that i thought my hearing was even worse than i thought!

I'm also pleased i read somewhere that i didn't imagine that the reek of onions and hotdogs was wafting strongly across the balcony during the latter part of the gig. Again i thought i was in some surreal 'smell'o'vision ...

I'm guessing this is a review of the Sunday gig:

'Yep, Britain's best rock queen still rules the scene.'

anyhow for those willing and able, here's my recording of last night

Listened to it on the way into work this morning!

Really nice recording. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to do it ...

Interesting that 'Pocket Knife' replaced 'The River' as that was (thinking about it) probably the number that suffered the most from the sound problem on Sunday.
Equipment technical hitch?
Whatever, still ranks as one of the most impressive gigs i've ever seen (will ever see?).

Actually 'droooooone' sums it up. Almost an industrial resonance. Appropriate in some types of musical circumstances but not last night!
Good luck with tonight. Interested to know if they have sorted it.
I would hasten to add that it didn't spoil things completely for me. The whole thing was just ...

Possibly it was just me then? :-)

Loved the show.

But was i just me (from front of balcony) who thought the sound was, at times, abysmal ? Not sure if it was was the sound mix or the acoustics. The main fault seemed to be the central keyboard set-up which caused awful distortion at times drowning out the rest of the mix. A couple ...

I'm guessing the 2 times are related to when you're allowed into the venue depending on whether you're seated or in the stalls, I was in the wrong queue last time I went to Troxy I remember!

It will be a first visit to the Troxy so that's handy to know. Cheers!

just a question. What's with most of sites showing two London shows? One at 7.30 pm amd one at 8.00pm? The first one (which i've got tickets for) is going to be very short

I got my tickets thro Ents24 and i just checked back and it showed all seating and standing still available if thats any help to anybody? click on the 8.00pm show link; the 7.30 show link seems to show all seating gone?
