Official "Later ... with Jools Holland" appreciation thread

[MarkO]

I know some of you are aware of this show but for those that aren't, I hope you enjoy it.

Later ... with Jools Holland is a BBC music show, shot live in studio with 4 or 5 musical guests each week that play 2 or 3 songs each. There is no theme, it's a real mixed bag of guests some of which will occasionally jump in with others to lend a hand (Bonnie Raitt played slide guitar for Robbie Williams on 'Angels') and Stereophonics played with The Black Crowes on 'Twice as Hard'

I love this show, even in the small increments in which we get it in the US.

YmvY3NAvHtk
The Verve - "Life's an Ocean" (Until Coachella, this was one of the best live takes on this song I'd ever heard)

AArt34TNAyk
Blur - "Tender"

MVcDoXURd1s
The Strokes - "Last Nite" (Chan Marshall obviously enjoying it)

SyK79PHTiKw

DBIbTqKHPow
Spiritualized - "Come Together"

r9mrQmof6eQ
The Good, the Bad and the Queen - "Kingdom of Doom"

[MissingPerson]

I love this show. It can make or break a band, and the performances always have a bit of an edge. I just wish Jools Holland wasn't on it.

That There There is epic in the old fashioned Biblical cataclysm kind of way.

Check out the Owen Pallett/ Final Fantasy guest appearrance, conducting for the Last Shadow Puppets!

[fatbastard]

I have a few of the tapings of the American version of this show with Jools then with David Sandborn who took over after he left. Not too crazy with the BBC version that has everyone rodeo style in a room and him sitting behind a piano. The performances are always spot on though.

[idrive1life]

:pulse

Giving some love to this show too. I've got lot of A+ quality audio and video d/ls (that I took from various sites ... they are mostly classic performances by many famous British bands when they were starting in the industry / virtually unknown here in states).

[boarderwoozel3]

Nothing but love for Jools here. Clips from his show are constantly coming up in my youtube live concert searches. He puts quality acts who truly deserve the attention on blast. Cheers.

I really do love Owen Pallett to gay little pieces.

lol @ Win's pretendy guitar playing. Also, I love that Jools Holland managed to get their first ever UK performance, and then introduced them as Arcade Power. Nice one, Jools.

One thing that always drove me nuts - KT Tunstall.

On record, Tunstall is bland, innoffensive Gray's Anatomy fodder. But her Jools performance is fucking tremendous, it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen, and I kept meaning to put it in the Best Performance threads earlier on....

I still watch it slack-jawed like a halfwit.

HYEU91d8ngc

That KT Tunstall is badass. Where the hell did that KT Tunstall go?

[MissingPerson]

Would you say Jools' show has the same effect on a band in the UK as Conan O'Brien would have in the States? Would that be a fair comparison?

[Sushov23]

it would be more like Letterman or Leno right? but they both suck. Probably closer to SNL. Wait not them either. hmmmm.

I love this one.

[MarkO]

Would you say Jools' show has the same effect on a band in the UK as Conan O'Brien would have in the States? Would that be a fair comparison?

No. Completely different reasons for having bands on. Jools picks bands because he likes them. The talk shows have bands on as a distraction of sorts.

[Sushov23]

No. Completely different reasons for having bands on. Jools picks bands because he likes them. The talk shows have bands on as a distraction of sorts.

QFT. It's like in the old days when MTV used to have bands that the VJ's liked. Fuck I haven't said VJ's in a while, do people remember what they are anymore?

[MissingPerson]

No. Completely different reasons for having bands on. Jools picks bands because he likes them. The talk shows have bands on as a distraction of sorts.

I just mean like... in terms of success. Like, if I had a band, and I got it on Jools Holland, I'm fucking set for a bit. If I got it on SNL or whatever, that would give us the same kind of foothold?

[MeowMixer]

No. Completely different reasons for having bands on. Jools picks bands because he likes them. The talk shows have bands on as a distraction of sorts.

The talk shows have bands on because the bands' record labels are part of the same conglomerate that owns the network. There are mega corporations that own insane amounts of the media, and they use these outlets to advertise themselves. It is the same principle as Beyonce being in the remake of the Pink Panther. The company owned the rights to the old Pink Panther, they also owned beyonce's label. They put her in the movie so that they could use her as a tool, not only to sell in the box office, but also to sell the inevitable single that went with the movie.

[gmoneyak]

I've always enjoyed this Yeasayer's performance:

okxAi06PTAU

Whenever I browse through live Youtube vids of certain artists, I always have to check out their Jools' appearances.

[pancakespancakes]

The talk shows have bands on because the bands' record labels are part of the same conglomerate that owns the network.

On a scale of 1 to 10 on how epicly false this statement is, I give it a FUCKING RETARDED OUT OF 10.

Are we talking bout the same late night talk shows?!?!?
If you're talking about Conan, Letterman, & Leno, I haven't the foggiest idea where you're pulling your facts out of.

[MissingPerson]

Conan was where I first heard Arcade Fire, Metric, loads of other indie-artists. I don't get to see Leno or Letterman, but I've always been impressed by the variety and quality of acts - if not always, performances - on Conan.

[bleep]

I just wish Jools Holland wasn't on it.
what's the beef w/ jools? on the show, he comes off as a nice man.

[boarderwoozel3]

Conan was where I first heard Arcade Fire, Metric, loads of other indie-artists. I don't get to see Leno or Letterman, but I've always been impressed by the variety and quality of acts - if not always, performances - on Conan.

You're not missing anything in Leno or Letterman. They mix in some decent acts with 90% garbage. The jokes aren't even that funny too.

this needs to be added to the hall of fame

snl can give bands a real boost. shame you have to sit through so much awful comedy to get to the performances.

I like jools holland's approach. three parts music to one part interview. nobody trying to be funny. nobody else does a music show with such integrity. (except maybe godrich. I haven't seen his basement show yet.) it's like top of the pops, except it's actually good. I download many of the jools holland shows. yay for the internet.

a single episode of jools holland has more quality than an entire year's worth of programming on mtv. there I said it.

Fleet Foxes were on there last week I think.

..oh and Killers.

But Fleet Foxes were amazing.

[bballarl]

Al Green was on too. Awesome.

If you have a Region2 capable dvd player, the Later ....... dvd's are well worth picking up. There are two "Cool Britannia" dvd's, two "Louder" dvd's and some others.

[MissingPerson]

Bat For Lashes this week was damn good.

Also, I've decided, I would totally gay that girls brains out.

Yup.

[fatbastard]

I have alot of Later... with Jools Holland VHS tapes when he did a brief stint of the show here on NBC. He didn't stay long. David Sanborn took over after he left.

[MissingPerson]

Also, I don't like Madness. Argh.

EDIT: I had no idea he did an American run. Huh.

[fatbastard]

and I didn't realize that I had previously posted the same thing in this thread. Yeah, it use to be on NBC at 1:30AM Sunday nights. It was an hour show.

[MissingPerson]

And I either misread it, or completely forgot about it. Good work, Brain.

He's said "Bats for Lashes" loads of times this evening and it's annoying me.

That is the only Grandaddy song I have ever heard, but it rules.

It's so weird to see Grandaddy do... well anything really. They are from my hometown and Ive seen them play in people's living rooms while a dozen or so people stood around and drank keg beer.

Also, Jools Holland is a fantastic musician himself.

[Devin the Dude]

i love that little boots has a lisp and plays a tenori-on.

There used to be a better version of this on youtube available in HD, but it seems to have been killed.

yeah but not everyone has a lisp. i love the combo of lisp and talentless instrumentation. hah.

This goes way back, but I think being on Jools is akin in the US to being on Ed Sullivan ..... cr****

I like this show a lot. Diverse performances without talk show filler. Ovation has been playing episodes daily, and my DVR is set to record the series. I've turned a few friends and relatives onto this show too.

[paulthomasanderson]

Ovation's become like a religion for me. However, CSS were absolutely terrible on last week's re-run.

[canexplain]

Or Hullabaloo though not as big. It used to be such a big deal to catch the old shows but now you can turn on music 24/7. Is Jools on prime time in the UK or a late night show? cr****

[MarkO]

He used to be late night, 11ish. Not sure if that is still true.

[Boourns]

Today they are showing the episode with Radiohead, Feist, Cat Power, Mary J Blige, Robyn Hitchcock.

[TommyboyUNM]

Crazy. I was watching this video when I clicked on your post. It's from that episode, right?

[LooseAtTheZoo]

Today they are showing the episode with Radiohead, Feist, Cat Power, Mary J Blige, Robyn Hitchcock.

What channel is this show on?

[Boourns]

Ovation. It's one of those satellite/digital cable channels.

[paulthomasanderson]

It's one of those shows you become addicted to after a few episodes just because the diversity of artists is so unique and wonderful.

[Boourns]

I hadn't really listened to Mary J Blige since middle school but she was good.

15 Step and Sea Lion Woman were my favorites of that episode.

[paulthomasanderson]

Aw, you lied. Radiohead wasn't on. Scissor Sisters were.

[runbowsky]

This show is legit!.. I have a collection of the performances on my ipod.

Ovation had a mini-marathon the other day. Eight episodes in a row... good thing for having a DVR.

EDIT: The National are playing Bloodbuzz Ohio.
