It was such a great week, you get to relive it again! This past July SPIN magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary with amazing shows—the Smashing Pumpkins, the Flaming Lips, the Black Keys and the National at Terminal 5 and Spiritualized at Radio City Music Hall. Each show was streamed live, so if you couldn’t be there in person, you could still get a taste. And now you can have the whole meal because Fuse presents the concert series this Friday, 12/3, at 9 p.m. Don’t know what channel Fuse is? No problem, just go here.
(Encore presentations will follow at 3 a.m. and 11 a.m. on 12/4, 5 p.m. on 12/7, 4 p.m. on 12/9 and 2 a.m. on 12/10.)
Last week SPIN magazine celebrated its 25th anniversary with an epic five-night run of shows: the Smashing Pumpkins, the Flaming Lips, the Black Keys and the National at Terminal 5 and then Spiritualized closed out the week with a choir and an orchestra at Radio City Music Hall. If you weren’t there in person you still had the opportunity to check out what went down because each show streamed live on SPIN.com. But that is so last week. And since the music was extra stellar—thanks to ZYNC from American Express—you’ve got another chance to see these shows: The headlining act from each date will be rebroadcast at 9 p.m. ET every night this week here.
The English space-rock band Spiritualized has been making lush, atmospheric music since its debut, Lazer Guided Melodies, came out in 1992. Despite several personnel changes over the years, the group—guided by frontman Jason Pierce (J. Spaceman)—has continued to produce quality albums, including the much acclaimed Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, which features a gospel choir plus Dr. John on one track. Why bring up a disc that came out in 1997? Great question: Because as part of SPIN25, Spiritualized (above, playing the dreamy “Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space”) will perform the LP in its entirety with a choir and orchestra on Friday at Radio City Music Hall. And how can you top that?
