[DID NOT ATTEND: November 11, 2023] Spiritualized [moved from September 23, 2022]

Last year when Spiritualized came around, I wrote

I wasn’t entirely sure that I wanted to see Spiritualized live.  I really like their album Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.  But I wasn’t sure how well they would translate live.  But I read some rave reviews of their live show, so I grabbed a ticket.

This year I forgot that those shows had been cancelled and thought that maybe they were just back again pretty quickly.

I didn’t buy tickets for this show.  I haven’t heard anything about the show either.

[DID NOT ATTEND: November 6, 2023] Spiritualized [moved from September 23, 2022]

I had forgotten that Spiritualized was supposed to play our area last year, but they cancelled the show last minute for a medical emergency.

I wasn’t planning on going to this show (White Eagle Hall has really fallen off my radar lately).  But I feel like it must not have been very well attended as a week before the show, White Eagle Hall was giving $10 off per ticket.

I decided to go see Tortoise instead.  Interesting that both bands are from the same era.

But I really enjoyed Tortoise, so no regrets.

[CANCELLED: September 23, 2022] Spiritualized (moved to November 6, 2023)

I wasn’t planning on going to this show in Jersey City (I was going to Union Transfer) because this show was on the same night at the Saucerful of Secrets show.

However, it was worth noting that this show was cancelled too

Spiritualized have canceled tonight’s show at Jersey City’s White Eagle Hall. No explanation has been given, but Thursday night’s show at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer was also canceled — less than an hour before it was supposed to start — and the venue sent messages to ticket holders, writing, “We are incredibly sorry but tonight’s Spiritualized show will NOT take place tonight. There is an medical emergency w/ a member of the touring party. We’ll send out more details asap but tonight’s show is 100% not happening. – UT”

We don’t know who that member of the touring party is but we’re hoping everyone is ok.

[CANCELLED: September, 22, 2022] Spiritualized

I wasn’t entirely sure that I wanted to see Spiritualized live.  I really like their album Ladies and gentlemen We Are Floating in Space.  But I wasn’t sure how well they would translate live.  But I read some rave reviews of their live show, so I grabbed a ticket.

But it turned out that on that night Kathleen Edwards was playing at SOPAC.  I had seen her recently, but I had purchased two SOPAC tickets for my wife and I to see her, so Kathleen won out.

Interestingly, at 12:30 this afternoon, Union Transfer sent is this message

Hello! Thank you for purchasing a ticket to see Spiritualized this evening. We want to send this quick heads up, the band will go on right at 8pm and will finish just before 10pm. No opener this evening. One long set.

An hour before showtime, however, the show was cancelled because of a “medical emergency.”  They also cancelled the final two shows of the tour (in New Jersey and New York).

So I made the right choice–I would have been really mad to find out that while I Was driving to Philly, the show was cancelled and I therefore missed both shows.
