Lush
Commodore Ballroom
Vancouver, B.C., Canada
4/11/96
This is a great live set from Lush’s last tour that was broadcast on CBC Radio in Canada. I recently traded for a CD of this recording, but when I compared it to the one that I had on cassette, it was an incomplete show. I’m guessing that this was re-broadcast in a shortened form at some point and that’s the recording that is widely circulated. This is the original broadcast from FM radio.
Set List:
1. Lovelife
2. 500
3. Single Girl
4. Kiss Chase
5. De-Luxe
6. Light From A Dead Star
7. Undertow
8. Hypocrite

Shawn Scallen, photographer extraordinaire, was staying at my house during my 21st birthday. A couple of weeks later, I got the best present I could think of, a signed photo with birthday wishes for me from Lush. Apparently he was shooting them and remembered my obsession with them. This song comes from the “Last Night” promo only cd single. Most of the other tracks on the cd have been released elsewhere, but I think this track remains officially unreleased.
This song is from the “Whore: A Tribute to Wire” cd compilation from 1996. It has 21 bands including Godflesh, My Bloody Valentine, and of course, Lush, doing Wire covers with varying degrees of success. Next to Minor Threat, this is probably the best Wire cover I’ve come across.
