Скачать или смотреть EPIC Damon Albarn Live SATURDAY COME SLOW, HQ Front Row Shakespeare's Globe Theater, London 9/2021

From our first full live concert post pandemic - at the Shakespeare's Globe Theater by the Thames under the harvest moon. Albarn's exquisite sound alchemy made for a truly cathartic experience. Hope you enjoy the footage, 20 videos in all. This is an awesome performance of 'Saturday Come Slow', Albarn's collaboration with Massive Attack, track #9 on MA's 5th studio album Heligoland.

This gig was a one-off event premiering Albarn's new album The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows (out November 12, 2021). The concert was a stunning amalgamation of Albarn's solo music and tracks from his other projects, including Blur, Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad and the Queen and the Dr Dee opera score.

Albarn was accompanied by Mike Smith, Femi Koleoso on drums, Simon Tong on guitar, Seye Adelekan on bass, Seckou Keita on the kora, Arngeir Hauksson on the theorbo, a violin tercet and countertenor Christopher Robson.

The album was initiated by the Lyon Festival commissioning Albarn to 'do whatever he wanted' and started life in 2019 as an orchestral project and live experience, inspired by the landscapes of Iceland. Albarn returned to the music in lockdown to develop the work into 11 tracks which “further explore themes of fragility, loss, emergence and rebirth”.
The album title is from a John Clare poem Love and Memory.
Albarn said during the concert that he created the music imagining a band playing on an abandoned cruise ship in an icy bay, with no one able to hear it..

Lost in the magic
From the last time
This town turning
My rose to desire

Saturday comes slow
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Or is there nothing there?

In the limestone caves
In the south west lands
What towns in the kingdom
Beneath us understand?

Saturday comes slow
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Or is there nothing there?

Saturday comes slow
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Do you love me?
Or is there nothing there?
