Saw Kasabian in Chicago on Monday, and they were absolutely brilliant. It was my first time seeing them live (even being a fan since the first album) and they did not disappoint.
Also, they played an acoustic set at the Apple Store a couple of hours before the gig, and I was at that too. I have to listen again, but they played 3 tunes from Velociraptor! and LSF. It was very cool to see them in that setting.

In my opinion: Velociraptor! and Kasabian > West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum

OH FUCK YES. For the record, I really enjoyed their Boston gig. The crowd was pretty bad, but overall that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the gig - if anything it made me get into it more out of a slight nagging sense of guilt. Impressive as the O2 was, I had a better gig experience here. |

Wow, they sounded pretty fantastic on the Coachella screen. Good time slot too; smaller stage, and later at night.

have any of the US fans looked into this new concert dvd/blu ray? I'd love to get it, but I want to make sure it is compatible with my Blu Ray player or Imac DVD player. I once bought a Lord Don't Slow Me Down Blu Ray copy and it didn't work :/

I once bought a Lord Don't Slow Me Down Blu Ray copy and it didn't work :/ I can't find any region information for the release, but apparently most blu rays aren't region encoded and as I'm sure this won't be getting a separate American release they probably won't bother with one for this. Still, it'd be worth checking closer to the release date if they put up more information. |

Top live act for sure. Just watched their BBC Electric Prom gig way back from 2006, fantastic stuff.

So epic last night!
They played:
Days Are Forgotten
Let's Roll Just Like We Used To
Underdog
Man Of Simple Pleasures
Goodbye Kiss
LSF
Fire
Fire wasn't meant to be played. It was on a couple of the setlists, before LSF, but it was scrubbed out... they ended up playing it after Tom said "do you want another one?" and the roof got torn off by the cheers!
Met Ian and Jay after, too. Also shook Tom's hand, and got Serge's water bottle.
Also, Tom was talking about his beard and said "That's fatherhood for you. You think I'm joking, but I'm not"... He tapped Serge on the elbow after, so I don't know if it was a joke, or what...
Anyway, TOTALLY EPIC GIG.

Getting quite sick of Kasabian tbh.
Velociraptor is a good album but they've regressed since WRPLA and Suck it and See shits on it from a great height. Songs like Rewired are about as commercial and awful as you can get as well.
They're also pissing me off with their lazy choices of b-sides. Putting out remixes is bad enough but how can you put out an instrumental as the only b-side for Rewired?

I love them, but I mentioned this a while back, and had loads of people having a go at me... It was actually 2 live songs from the Boeing gig, that had been on YouTube for months... I thought that if they didn't really have much of an idea for a new song, they could have just gone into the studio for a day, and recorded a cover. Not that hard, is it? Glad someone agrees with me, though :/ |

Yeah, that's probably right. Couldn't say 100% but taking an educated guess, I'd say you've probably got it bang on. |

Karloff wrote the music for Pan Am Slit Scam. That band has never been the same since he left.
Three best tunes from Empire were the ones he was involved in, Empire, By My Side and Stuntman.
Couple of good tunes on West Ryder, but a bit too much of Serge for me, either singing both lead and backing vocals which overpower later day Kasabian for me. Last time I saw them at T in the Park 2010 the sound was dreadful, could have been due to it being a festival but I feel they missed a chance to become massive.
For a band with so much confidence on stage they have never taken that leap to become truly massive. Back in 2004 and 2005 I really thought they would be in stadiums by now.
They will have a great singles collection when the time comes.

Really, Jim? I think that the stuff with and without Karloff is great, I don't see that it goes downhill or anything... In fact, West Ryder is probably my top, top, top favourite album ever.
And I watched TiTP on TV, and it was mega... Then I went to V a couple of months later, and that was even better...
And I think it's only a matter of time before they headline stadiums... Next year, I think, once they have a name in America, they'll be doing arenas there and stadiums here.
Each to their own, though.
However, I just don't see where you're coming from.

Jim is Live4Evers GodLike Genius, whatever you say is irrelevant.
lol, just wanted to say that. Anyway, I listened to West Ryder, got it off iTunes, I fairly enjoyed the opening tracks and closing tracks, not the middle so much. I enjoyed the album enough to have think about buying another album from them though.
