The Church - any of the congregation here? (Part Two)

SA originally was a double album! 2 LPs.

.

 

With the band touring again in support of a new album maybe we could get some more vinyl reissues this year? I know I would at least like to buy a good vinyl version of the Under The Milky Way comp (first time on vinyl) or Hindsight (vinyl reissue)

 

who's up for a "The Church album by album thread"?

 

We've talked about it. It's going to be deep water.

Well, he never has been a screamer- I'm guessing his relaxed style has a lot to do with the condition of his voice...

 

They just added a Cincinnati date to the tour. March 8:

Figures they'd do that 5 days after I bought my tickets for the Cleveland show. Cinci is closer!

 

Go to both!

.

 

I kinda blew my budget on a Cleveland hotel room and doggy daycare.

 

really looking forward to the Feb. San Diego Show...very small venue..he won't have to scream there either!

 

I'll be relying on all of you going to these upcoming shows to give us the details! Setlists, your impressions, etc. I cannot make it to any shows on this tour, so I'll be taking it all in vicariously. (This could be the last tour too, who knows. I know I've been thinking that every tour during the last 10 years, but still...)

.

 

I'd love to see them in Austin but I don't want to deal with the SXSW crowds. Wish they were doing other Texas dates.

 

the San Diego show is apparently "sold out" according to the venue's website.

Hopefully there are still tickets available for L.A. or San Francisco.

 

With another ace dreamy guitar band doing Coachella this year (Ride), it makes sense for the Church to stroll out to the California desert and get some name recognition at the 2015 Coachella festival.

 

yeh, its gonna be a bit of a sardines-in-a-can situation.

 

I've got tickets for Chicago. Mixed feelings about seeing them without Marty, but we'll see what we get.

 

Will try REALLY hard to tap in to the board..but lots of pix for sure.

 

I wonder if I sweet talk the venue (The Casbah) if they could let just one more ticket go ..

I'm single now and will be attending this show solo.

 

Just show up. Somebody out front will have a spare to sell you.

 

I go to a lot of Casbah shows solo..my lovely wife has pretty mainstream tastes..

 

What's the best sounding The Church compilation on CD?

 

Almost Yesterday sounds fantastic. I believe it was mastered in Australia. Look back to page 44 to see my notes on it (I just purchased it used yesterday).

Definitely get "Hindsight"' also. The B-Sides that the Church wrote are fantastic.

 

Played "Shadow Cabinet" tonight for the first time in ages. What a great (and underrated) little ditty that one is!

 

Hindsight and A Quick Smoke at Spots are essential IMO.

 

Absolutely.
For me, it's right up there with "Myrrh" as a crown jewel of their Ploog-era output.

 

Me likey the two acoustic albums. Riveting.
