SUPERB!! This is by FAR the best live Lush video on youtube, and this song is one of their 10 best. I was lucky enough to see them live in June, 1996, so this brings back great memories. So sad they didn't get to stay around and make much more music like this.
Yes this Riviera 12 was built by the Nashville Gibson Custom Shop in 1993. All the reissue Rivieras made there that year had only 6 strings, except Miki's. It's one a kind, similar to the vintage ones made between 1965 and 1970 at Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
+prolinea4 Agreed! It's the standout song off 'Split'. 'Lovelife' and 'Lit Up' should've been the singles instead of 'Desire Lines' and 'Hypocrite' (much as I like 'Desire Lines', it's longer than Peter Crouch and slower than Teddy Sheringham!)
@@JMill-bs6xt They're amazing aren't they?! I couldn't believe it when I heard them and learned they'd never been issued as singles. Far more obvious choices than Desire Lines (much as I love it) and Hypocrite. Although I strongly suspect Lush's USA-fixated management thought Hypocrite would curry favour with the Grunge kids.
@raiderglory - absolutely right. The quality of this is stunning. And those harmony vocals are breathtaking ending on that glorious chord at 3.10. Lush were my all time fav band because they knew how music worked. Listen to how the melody modulates through several keys by employing semitonal intervals, it's just brilliant stuff. Such a loss...
Wow. Thanks for posting - what an awesome video! This is absolutely by favorite Lush song. Loved them since they first came to the States in 1990!!! Saw them many times and was sad to hear they broke up. Their beautiful music lives on.
Sugoi ! This is Spellbinding- this video is a great representation of their peak ! I seen Lush in L.A. back in the 90's & the shows were dream-like , best vibes , the lighting was perfect ... Thanx so much for sharing this gem 💎
@@wlouisharris The "How" you're thinking about is called Pete Bartlett. He produced the album "Lovelife" and were their live sound engineer since May '90. Sound wise, he was the 5th member of the band.
@@julosx Thanks for that fact. I know Robin Guthrie was also given a lot of credit for some of the work he did with them. I saw Lush a few times. The sound they had at Lalapalooza 2 was really awesome.
I understand. I think that would be the best too. Please be glad that we have these great sounding documents of what was though. I was behind the times during both band's time. I regret that very much.
Lush had such a good rhythm section, especially for a dream pop band where I feel like the rhythm can sometimes get buried behind all the guitars. I especially love the studio version since it has the drums and bongos, I think they had to cut the bongos out of the live version since there probably wasn’t enough ppl on stage to play them lol
June 7th, 2016. Why had I not seen this clip until now? It's overwhelmingly great, every single thing about it. I had already been looking at live Lush for about an hour, when I decided to listen to one more. Thankfully it was this one.And yes, it is impossible not to fall in love with Miki, watching her play guitar is just beautiful. Thank you for posting this, rrn3000.
@@julosx The chord progressions, yes, but still better is Miki singing a high G over that unexpected F in the bridge, suggesting a 9th chord. On the record, Emma joins in singing an F, causing a whole tone dissonance, yet it somehow works. Brilliant!
The lyrics for this song are great . Emma could write really good lyrics , and great music as well * On a techincal note , there seemed to be some stage fright in Myki as it is kind of noticeable . But , the important thing is to enjoy this great song
No, not because they are both females, but because she was singing indecipherably, where the lyrics are indistinguishable from sound. She's not the only one that did that; so did My Bloody Valentine. This was only of the many many ways early Shoegazers showed their influences.
@@blackprimeminister trueeee Cocteau Twins were singing nonsense before any of these bands lol. If anything the indecipherable lyrics just makes the songs sound even more otherworldly to me haha
WOW, thank you for this, it's a perfect quality video ! And, err... could Miki be any sexier ? The lucky ones at the front row... (I was one of them at the gig during the "Black Spring" tour in Paris !)
She didn't try to sing like liz fraser. She always kept her own style, and started out as more of a punk vocalist so I think yr mistaken. Robin Guthrie swamped their sound and made it too similar to the Cocteaus, but at the same time Spooky was a fantastic album. Split was awesome though. I was nearly the only person I knew that liked this band when I was 16 (1995) took me for fuckin ever to find other fans in the UK.
I'm a huge Lush as well as shoegaze and indie rock fan, so I have some current bands for you to check out: Moaning, Our Girl, Sasami, Fazerdaze, Hatchie, Snail Mail, Alvvays, & Mitski. Have fun!
@@frankfrank7921 It's not pointless. The criteria is simple, achieving it is quite something else : CHORD CHANGES is the name of the game. Is anybody able to do that among the millenials ?
@@frankfrank7921 The criteria to meet when it comes to songwriting are chord changes and song structure, which come hand in hand. Of course the sound matters a lot but it's already something else. if there's none of it your song is gonna be crap. So it's not a pointless challenge. Lush ticked all the boxes, that's all.
I'm 51 years old now. I have been looking for a Miki for forever. I think I'll stop looking because there is only one.

"This is by FAR the best live Lush video on youtube, and this song is one of their 10 best." You may be correct.
the 90's by far, my favorite decade of music,, so many great artists like LUSH.
My favorite band from the 90's.
They're my favourite band of all times.
Fave EVER!!!!!!!!!

next to last show ever :( best band i ever saw live. also the most underrated band ever.
Not releasing "Lovelife" as a single was a crime against humanity.
+prolinea4 Agreed! It's the standout song off 'Split'. 'Lovelife' and 'Lit Up' should've been the singles instead of 'Desire Lines' and 'Hypocrite' (much as I like 'Desire Lines', it's longer than Peter Crouch and slower than Teddy Sheringham!)

I remember listening to this band in the early 90s, I sure miss those days.
Saw Lush at the Livid festival in Brisbane 1992 and was blown away. Still waiting for a live DVD ...
Lush are just so damn cool 😊🎸🎸🎶😎🥁
This is my favourite song. Such amazing lyrics and haunting as well.
Serious contender for most gorgeous song ever.
Isn't it, though? The sound of a cool little shoegaze band growing up, they never sounded better. Who knows what they might have done had Chris lived?
Wow. Thanks for posting - what an awesome video! This is absolutely by favorite Lush song. Loved them since they first came to the States in 1990!!! Saw them many times and was sad to hear they broke up. Their beautiful music lives on.
Another fantastic song.
Lush are the stars that shine in my sky.
they sound like their records when they play live. sign of an awesome band.
Had the biggest crush on Emma, and still do!
I hope so dearly she'll form a new band like Miki did this year.
Thank God for British rock 'n' roll!
I heard this song in 1994, and got haunted by it, ......I was not aware that was from Lush...thanks shazzam
saw them live back when i was 13 first show i went to sadly i won't ever get to see them again
my favourite lush song
ditto.
This is my favorite Lush song along with Sweetie. They sound really good.
I'm liking the voice contrast between Emma and Miki
I miss good music......

They sounded so good live! Hats off to whoever recorded this, they did a great job too. I was too young to catch them live even for their reunion :(
It sounds like sound board. Not sure how they got the quality so good.

Oh no! I saw them in '92 and at the reunion. Maybe you should start a band...
I didn't know that Chris passed away 🥁😪 RIP he was a big part of LUSH !!🙏👏🤘🎶
Love Miki's singing. Brilliant band.
Miki's voice is fantastic, here: heavenly-high but aggressive.
Outstanding group. The audio mix was very good. Thanks for the post.
I love miki
I understand. I think that would be the best too. Please be glad that we have these great sounding documents of what was though. I was behind the times during both band's time. I regret that very much.
"Every dork conceals a dream; and a nightmare" =)
Wow... this was filmed four weeks to the day before Chris Acland took his own life. Must have been one of the last ever gigs.
Thanks so much for posting this. It's hard to capture how good Chris was as a live drummer, how propulsive he was.
Well said. Chris was a great drummer. He knew how to play for the song.
Lush had such a good rhythm section, especially for a dream pop band where I feel like the rhythm can sometimes get buried behind all the guitars. I especially love the studio version since it has the drums and bongos, I think they had to cut the bongos out of the live version since there probably wasn’t enough ppl on stage to play them lol
Split is a great album that sort of disappeared (except for Hypocrite). I can listen from front to back and not feel any impulse to skip anything.
My favorite.
Dyed my hair red because of Mikki. Never changing it again.
stil you have it?
thanks for posting!
great posting.... cheers!
Incredible power!!!!!
Miki n Emma ! What Masters..they just belt it out with the Greatest of Ease....
we blow around like tiny leaves
I like Lush.
Beautiful!
Got to love the pro shot. The sound quality is amazing on this video (especially through the the dr. Dre headphones). Miss this band soooo much.
I like lush...

Emma on a Tele Thinline? Heaven!
this is a good live video.
Banyak kenangan dengan lagu ini...
The Barbapapa song...
and The Sundays!
@musicobsessive56 I don't have a bloody clue about what a semitonal interval is but you're right. Brilliant stuff indeed. I miss them so much.
good times ;)
La vie en paix music for peace in the world love la vie en paix music by safic aisha music ok 👍✌👍
Baa ba papa ba❤😂😎
At their Zenith here.
Isn't that sad? They got better and better - they never sounded better - and then it was over.
literally the day before their final performance together. and they didn't know.
@@iantuition Did not know that. They broke on MTVs 120 minutes in the states and they were Jaw dropping.
It varies it seems. She looked way happier on the "Lit Up" video shot two years before at the same venue.
The lyrics for this song are great .
Emma could write really good lyrics , and great music as well

I'm waiting for two reunions - The Smiths and Lush. I will get neither.
WOW, thank you for this, it's a perfect quality video !
And, err... could Miki be any sexier ? The lucky ones at the front row... (I was one of them at the gig during the "Black Spring" tour in Paris !)
yes
I wonder if they were named after Mikki's hair...

@dano555666 Just imagine.......thats the one reunion I am really waiting for !
Very good. Same chord progression as pearl by chapterhouse
chapterhouse reminds me of Ride..
a beautiful song by a great band,, definitely NOT a suckfest.. unless you play the male organ.
Superlative
Find me just a band that's able to write something THAT good today…
Waxahatchee--No Curse, Wye Oak--Lifer, Ty Segall--Alta, Tame Impala--Mind Mischief, etc...
I'm a huge Lush as well as shoegaze and indie rock fan, so I have some current bands for you to check out: Moaning, Our Girl, Sasami, Fazerdaze, Hatchie, Snail Mail, Alvvays, & Mitski. Have fun!
Since there is no real objective criteria for measuring the quality of a song, that's a pointless challenge.

What kind of guitar did Miki use? I see it's a 12 string, but what kind?
Is it me or Emma sounded better back then ?
I guess. I don't see that much difference.
These was the great years when Pete Bartlett used to stand behind the mixing desk.
Well, considering it's 20 years ago, what do you think?
I want to go out on a date with miki berenyi.
what recorder is this?
It's pro shot, you know, sound right from the mixing desk and multiple camera angles.
Poor girls seem scared as shit. Lovely song but I just want to give them a big hug and call it off. Studio version is the **it.
Mikki would you have a drink with me?
+fred linne I'd be glad to come too.
this must've been their last gig?
+Paul Hannent Their very last gig with Chris was the following day at the same place (Tokyo, Shinjuku Liquid Room).
Thanks. I saw them last week and they were amazing.
+Paul Hannent Agreed. I was there too.
at the Camden roundhouse? - I was there on the saturday night.
Emma didn't look very happy to be on that stage.
doesnt she always look like that?
gowno w dupie
Outstanding group. The audio mix was very good. Thanks for the post.
I wonder if they were named after Mikki's hair...
