The Later with Jools Holland thread

Dengue fever - some crusty old california rockers with a young cambodian singer. a strange looking band but they do pump out some good stuff.


Carla Bruni talking about Nicholas Sarkozy and singing while Metallica look on.
Again, very strange, but bruni is effortlessly sexy, and she and jools played 'nobody knows you when you're down and out' on the piano....piy youtube seems to have taken it down & this video has it cut out.

I'll give ye thumbs up for half of that......

Which one have I failed you on?

better late than never:

I remember seeing Terry Hall on Jools Holland one of the nights Suede were playing. Tuned in to check out Suede but ended up hearing Terry Hall singing 'No No No' and bought the album the next day. Song is very simple but there's just something about his voice that makes it great. Nice backing singer as well. Shame the video is slightly out of sync.

Had the luck to get tickets for that show with Lana Del Ray (also Peter Gabriel with that New Blood Orchestra and Jesca Hoop, Ghostpoet, Noah and the Whale, The Horrors and someone else I can't remember!!). Twas pretty cool I have to say, fecking legs were sore as you have to stand for ages, and have no drink.. hoping to get tickets for the Nov 22nd show..they literally email you two days in advance.

Loved Camille who was on a few weeks ago, you could tell Jools adored her.. glad there's a thread now about Jools!

I've applied the last few seasons and have never get any response.

it's a shame biffy never got asked when they actually had great songs, still this is a pretty good performance, breakdown is classic biffy.

One of my favourites was Television playing In World in the early 90s

Björk was unreal!

Agreed, although I still don't like her voice very much, but the music's just so great!
RHCP were dire. I just kept thinking that Flea and Chad should just go find another project. Maybe with John Frusciante :P Actually, that's the real shame about RHCP for me, that each of the four members (as in, with Frusciante) are all actually great and talented and work well together as a band, but it seems they've just run out of things to say, lyrically and musically.
Have to say I didn't dislike Noel Gallagher's song as much as I expected to, but that could be because I was expecting something similar to Beady Eye, and Noel's efforts are far greater than those of his brother.
Gillian Welch was good, I really like that song on the record, but on Jools it didn't grab me the same way. Not sure why.

They were terrible last night and have been terrible for a long long time.

Oh I agree, I just can't get over how far they've fallen since Blood Sugar Sex Magik; seems to me there's no reason that potential should have disappeared other than laziness on their part and/or a complete lack of new ideas. A shame is all. Another bout on the aul' heroin would do them a power of good : P

that was 20 years ago - how many bands are still producing quality music 20 years after their peak? It only took McCartney 15 years to go from Abbey Road to the Frog Chorus.

I just wish they'd put on some shirts...

I think this is just fantastic.
