There’s not a lot of live footage of Mojave 3 out there, never mind a complete show, so this recording of their performance at the Benicàssim festival in Spain from August 2000 circa Excuses For Travelers, is really pure gold. it was recorded to VHS from a television broadcast on Spanish TV, and considering the age of it and volatility of the medium it lived on, the audio and video are both quite good – only a few glitches. And while make no mistake, I’m thrilled to be living in the second age of Slowdive, but also want the glory of Mojave 3 to be remembered forever. As well as Neil Halstead in a tank top.
