SPIRITUALIZED SECRET SHOW AT THE ECHO

Download: Spiritualized ‘Soul On Fire’

(from Songs In A&E on Universal)

Tons of hustlers trying to push in (and Crystal Antlers opposite downstairs) but thanks to Liz we could bulldoze in. All the classics (like a destructive ‘Come Together’) presented on a field of white light except for a hurting lack of ’2.35′ (though they did do the Nashville version of ‘Walking With Jesus’; plenty of singalong for the sound of love) with true heroics by the spaceways gospel auxiliary. Finally passed Spaceman a print copy of the old L.A. RECORD interview. Afterward: further niceties with a Clutchy Hopkins side-project at Little Joy’s Broke Folk. Real review coming soon somewhere.
