Michael Currie Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I still do enjoy watching the show, because sometimes you discover something new or unexpected. But other times, I have it on just in the background, just in case I miss something good! I anxiously anticipated the jam between Jools and Bootsy Collins, which did, unfortunately end up being an anticlimax...

scalpy Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Apart from Festival coverage and some pitiful attempts on channel 4, Jools is the only live music show on telly. All the others have fallen by the wayside, yet he's managed to make a go of a 1/2 hour live slot on top of the tried and trusted Friday show. As musicians what we should be doing is encouraging TV channels to show more music shows by pumping up Laters viewing figures and making sure our peers do the same. I know the boogie woogie can be tedious and I've never understood the attraction in his drummer's wooden groove, the interviews are stumbling piffle etc but it's live music on the telly for the love of Pete, if we could be on it we would in a flash. Here's my all time favourite performance.

Rayman Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Another great show tonight, some innovative music, loved the guy with the looper, not so keen on PJ Harvey but each to his own, and Ringo Starr?? Really?? Why?? Still the best music show on TV though, long may it continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell has happened to this show?! Are they expecting us to be impressed by a bloke looping a recording of him making spitting noises, and then layering loops of him FAILING to sing a simple 3rd in tune over the top?[/quote] Isn't he a relative of the bloke who has sorted out the day off on friday? well for some of us anyway. looks like him anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Vader Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Okay, last night's show was actually really very good. Except Ringo, as he is a twat. Can I go back and change my vote now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only caught a few secs of it last night as i prefer to watch it in HD at the weekends but it was nice to see a Squier on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhkr Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Im undecided about Later. Where do you draw the line between it been 'crap' and 'just not to your taste'? Some people moan because a lot of acts are unheard of, and others say it's too commercial. Personally I like the mix. Stuff like Cee-Lo, Tiny Tempah and Katy Perry whom I normally dislike on record were actually quite refreshing to see with bands. I agree with whoever said if there's one act that you really enjoy, anything else is just a bonus. The show could maybe do with a bit of a facelift, and maybe the quality just isn't out there at the moment but a live music show like this will never be all things to all people.

algmusic Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 [quote name='Lozz196' post='1206390' date='Apr 20 2011, 08:37 PM']Bring back TFI Friday, but have more music, and less guests. Agree about the sound on Jools. Only one I`ve seen recently was Beady Eye, and Liam Gallaghers vocals were barely audible. Maybe that was his choice, but I doubt it.[/quote] That's how I like to hear Liam's vocals.. either like that or not at all :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 The "bloke with the looper" is Ed Sheeran, who is a local lad from just up the road from me. I've seen him play live several times and had a couple of quick chats - he's an extremely pleasant and grounded chap and a grafter - more than 600 gigs in the last 3 years, 5 self-financed EPs (including one with a bunch of Dubstep dudes). Please don't write him off on the basis of that one song: he's capable of much more than you saw on Tuesday night and hopefully will get an opportunity to demonstrate it on the Friday night programme. As for Jules's show, there's not many other options for people like Ed Sheeran to get national exposure, particularly now that Peel is no longer doing what he used to do on the radio. Even if you didn't like it, at least you've had the opportunity to engage with it and make your own decision. Without Later, even that would be lost to us.

squire5 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I've just recently begun listening to Ron Sexsmith and his new album is pretty good but last night he sounded just a little bit shaky.Could've been nerves tho'.If you get the chance,listen to "Long Player,Late Bloomer".

wateroftyne Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Just watched this week's... I'm warming to the Unthanks slightly. Couldn't believe there was some fella on there doing a solo thing with a looper pedal, though. Is it still 2006? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
