Spiritualized Concert

I went and saw Spiritualized two weeks ago in Minneapolis. It was a spectacular show.. super loud, super raw, and mind blowing. He opened with this crazy droned out rendition of "Amazing Grace," along with his backup choir of 2 women, who added an amazing gospel sound to the majority of his set.

At the end of the set, he proceeded to knock over his 2 mics with the neck of his guitar, and then threw the guitar into the middle of the stage and walked off.
He came back for a one song encore of "Lord, Can You Hear Me?" which was the perfect end to a beautiful set.
The highlight for me was when he played "Ladies and Gentlemen We are Floating in Space," which is one of my all time favorite songs, and mixed it together with the similar lyrics from Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love."
A wonderful show from an incredible band. I definitely reccomend them to anyone...
