Later...with Jools Holland (Official Thread)

[Kyle Huntington]

Consistently brilliant show bringing music from all over the world together each episode to perform live. Been going for many years and boxsets of the show can be bought. Just a place to post people's favourite performances, talk about who is coming up or recent shows etc.

Without a doubt my favourite show on television. Here's some videos to start off with which may interest people:

[Kyle Huntington]

Next episode line up looks awesome, can't wait for Laura Marling:

Gorillaz
Laura Marling
Mos Def
Drive-By Truckers
Diane Birch
Bobby McFerrin

[SanePsychotic]

That video of At the Drive-In is fantastic.

[Kyle Huntington]

Yeah amazing performance. Wasn't sure whether to put this in Entertainment or Music Forum as it's technically both, but meh. So many videos on YouTube from the show dating right back to when it started until now, spend hours watching and searching.

[Deadbolt23]

The best music programme out there. Possibly the best programme. This weeks line-up sounds really good, I can't wait.

Good choices on the videos.

[Kyle Huntington]

Genuinely favourite show still on television, so awesome. I love the more unknown "World Music" acts he gets on too as well as the inteviews with the veterans.

Thanks, just a quick broad selection, I could have picked a bunch more but that's what the thread is for, you got any personal favourites?

Pleasure! Pick up Two Dancers album by them, far better than their debut in my opinion.

[Alex Djaferis]

Great show!

[georgedcc]

I love the show, its seriously the best music show I've ever heard, I think it's the variety of acts he gets on there that keep it interesting.
BUT.... does anyone else think he's a really shit interviewer? They always seem really awkward and stilted and it eats into valuable performance time.

I really like the interviews :shrug: I definitely think it's more the guests that I enjoy rather than his interviewing skills though. I wouldn't put him as a bad interviewer.

Yeah sometimes, but on the other hand I enjoy the casual feel of a lot of them because he clearly cares and knows so much about all types of music from all decades. It enver bothers me that much, if anything it adds to the endearing quality of the show.

Laura Marling's on the next one? Brilliant, I've been hoping for that for a while. Bought I Speak Because I Can today too...

[Kyle Huntington]

Yeah, she has been on before but looking forward to new material being played. That album is one of my favourites of the year so far.

[Ari Christos]

Always try to catch this whenever I see it on TV (it's not broadcast over here as regularly, either that or I suck at finding whatever channel it's on). That Bon Iver performance is ridiculously powerful.

[djemilah]

Yeah, she has been on before but looking forward to new material being played. That album is one of my favourites of the year so far.

How does it compare to AICS? So far the only song I've heard from it is Devil's Spoke,I ordered it because her début is one of my favourite albums, and until it arrives all I have to go on is reviews

I much prefer it to Alas... I wasn't a huge fan of her debut though, so that might be saying something. The songs sound more substantial on this new record though.

[aerofan11]

Love this show. Shows the best in modern music, and Jools is a fantastic host.

[djemilah]

Probably, after all, she was only 17 when she wrote the first album, so the three years inbetween that and ISBIC allowed for some growth. Are there any songs on the first album that have a similar feel though? I would love to hear her sing more, like in Your Only Doll (Dora), some of the songs on the first album don't really do her voice justice

Yeah, there are plenty like that, although she seems to have tailored her voice to perfect the lower registers a lot better, it sounds so subtle but so awesome especially on the likes of "Made by Maid".

[thesollopsist]

The Bon Iver performance is one of my faves from there.

[Shatter_Glass]

fantastic show. America should follow suit...oh wait....nevermind Next is on and Carson Daily doesn't come on until 2 in the AM.

[cshadows2887]

Love this show, though you can usually only find it in snippets On Demand where I am.

[El_Jeffe]

Wish they would air this programme here, looks soo good. All I've ever really seen are various youtubes featuring one or both of the Finn Brothers.

That Hypnotic Brass Ensemble was sweeet.

[Kyle Huntington]

Seriously great show, can't think of anything as reputable since Old Grey Whistle Test.

[MorningStar10]

Great program but my fav video , although im not the biggest Chilis fan is them doing Dani California, John Frusticante is amazing in it, i can't imagine seeing them live now without him. V9aEP0cyErI

[Ari Christos]

I think this used to be on Fuse for a little bit, reruns of it at least. It also might be on Palladia sometimes, but I'm not positive.

[Akissforher]

i like the show but not jools holland.

anyone who's had to sit through an entire new years eve hootenanny will understand why

[Kyle Huntington]

Still love him and watch that every year.

[kieza]

If you stay in on New Years then Jools Holland is your saviour, cos there is never any thing decent on except this! Great programme, I have some of last years series saved on my DVD recorder, Biffy Clyro and Foo Fighters, but love watching the stuff from the 90's on youtube and what not, too many great performances to mention.

[aradiantsunrise]

Where does this come on?

[Kyle Huntington]

It's on in the UK, live for half an hour every Tuesday on BBC2 and long hour show every Friday same channel. Not aware of it being shown elsewhere, but majority of the performances are on YouTube.

[Ari Christos]

Pretty sure it's not broadcast regularly in the US (see below).

I'll have to check Fuse more often then.

[Kyle Huntington]

Gorillaz performing 'Stylo' feat. Mos Def, Bobby Womack and Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of The Clash:

yJzM3MwSkSw

[Kyle Huntington]

From the same show as Gorillaz, Bobby McFerrin performing 'Drive'. This is seriously cool:

j-rtv_E7XYY

[Kyle Huntington]

Next week's show line up is another awesome one:

Mumford & Sons
Joanna Newsom
Hole
Iggy Pop
Ozzy Osbourne
Angelique Kidjo

[Paulb-182]

The only music show on TV I will ever watch. Will never forgive that show for Basement Jaxx and Yoko Ono though. Possibly the worst performance of anything I have ever seen.

[Paulb-182]

ua3429jI-LE

yQ2CA9jDBZM&feature=related

liA5GAMqhsg

kwmVixeY7p0

My favourites

I don't think I will ever be able to tire of hearing those songs from Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. So damn good. Libertines at their prime and Killers when they were still awesome. And of course Whatever by Oasis is just something else.

[Kyle Huntington]

Great performances, remember that Arctic Monkeys one when it was aired. 'From The Ritz To The Rubble' never gets old for me, was always a favourite from their debut. Awesome Libertines performance too.

[Kyle Huntington]

Some performances from this weeks show:

18CMUs-XBFY
joKj-zPq8_8

[Deadbolt23]

The only music show on TV I will ever watch. Will never forgive that show for Basement Jaxx and Yoko Ono though. Possibly the worst performance of anything I have ever seen.

I saw that. It was hideous.

[erinfxs]

Started quoting people but there were far many to quote.

Loved the Cribs, Arcade Fire, Friendly Fires, Libertines and Arctic Monkeys performances. Also, Laura Marling was so good too, love her.

Great show, 'cept hated the New Years edition this year.

[Deadbolt01]

I don't like Jools himself too much, but decent show if in on a Friday night. always something worth watching on the line-up.

[showmethefever]

What channel is this on in the states again? Because I feel like I've seen this on TV a few times.

[mudwayne]

I thought this was awesome:

RUI4fCrevXU

Her voice gets incredibly irritating pretty quickly, but musically, I think it's fantastic. The piano is a great addition.

And that Bobby Mcferrin video was fantastic too. Isn't he the "Don't worry, be happy" guy?

[Kyle Huntington]

Some videos form last week's episode:

j7dwA4MRWtQ
cA12DvO18fg
310D8WIssd4

[Kyle Huntington]

This week's line up:

The National
LCD Soundsystem
Kelis
Crowded House
Pete Molinari

[aradiantsunrise]

Wow, Joanna Newsom's performance is excellent. I really need give her music a further listen.

[Deadbolt23]

Didn't enjoy Lissie. She looked drunk. Mumford were great, and so was Joanna. I was disappointed she only played one song though. Hole were absolute shite.

[Kyle Huntington]

hole were indeed awful, Joanna and Lissie were my favourites. Don't care how she looked, she sounded fucking immense. Her EP and newer songs are still played regularly by me.

[Deadbolt23]

Not a Mumford fan?

[Paulb-182]

Anyone expecting Hole to be good have their hopes set way too high. They were/are/always will be dreadful.

[Deadbolt23]

I wasn't expecting anything, but I had to sit through three of their songs. Blech.

[Paulb-182]

Oh right, I was gonna say! haha I haven't watched the show in too long anyway. Might set the freeview to record it on Friday.

[Deadbolt23]

I definitely would. I expect The National will be great.

[Kyle Huntington]

Not a Mumford fan?
Yeah big fan, I find it weird seeing them on Jools Holland and Letterman in the States etc. as it was only a year ago I saw them playing a tiny venue in Norwich. Great for them though. You could tell touring had got to their voices a bit from their Jools performance is all, particularly Marcus' but they made up for it with energy.

[Kyle Huntington]

Few videos form this week including The National and LCD Soundsystem:

4KxKNtIJ7F8
e9TtvBpMKK0
It6A0MdXvDM

[mudwayne]

I found this last night:

Z5LvoBRS1Mk

and was totally blown away.

I really should watch Jools Holland more.

[aradiantsunrise]

Those National videos are great. Can't get into the LCD Soundsystem singer's voice though.

[kieza]

Bloodbuzz Ohio is just amazing!

[Kyle Huntington]

This week's show line up:

Alicia Keys
Yeasayer
Jeff Beck
White Rabbits
Creole Choir of Cuba

[Kyle Huntington]

One of my least enjoyable episodes of late, tonight.

[Deadbolt23]

Alicia Keys definitely didn't bring her A game. Yeasayer were pretty good though.

And the Creole Choir of Cuba were fun.

[Deadbolt23]

Just got around to watching last weeks episode. Corrine Bailey Rae was great. Vampire Weekend were awesome, they're all so talented. MGMT were cool, but it's bizarre to think it's the same band that brought out Oracular. Metric were boring. Crystal Castles were exactly what I expected. Alice looked like she was wasted. Tom Jones has an amazing voice.

Anyone else think that the VW frontman looks like a younger Jimmy Carr?

[Kyle Huntington]

Just finished watching it. Pretty much agreed with everything you said. Crystal Castles and Metric really disappointed me. I adore Metric but Haines' voice didn't seem up to it and their sound seemed really empty. Crystal Castles have swung me around and I particularly ike a few songs from new album, but that was dull too. Vampire Weekend and Corinne Bailey Rae were awesome though and I'm not a big fan of either generally.

[Deadbolt23]

I'm quite a fan of Crystal Castles, but the performance just bored me. I would love to see them live though. It looks like such a surreal show.

[Kyle Huntington]

Some videos from last episode of current series:

VZtdmXgr_Jc
6W2vkLbJe_0

[Kyle Huntington]

New series starting this week. Live show was last night, full show on Friday. Guests this week are:

Brandon Flowers
Scissor Sisters
Grinderman
The Jolly Boys
Rumer
John Grant

[Paulb-182]

I thought it started last week? I remember seeing this.

QBzBViTPxGE

[Deadbolt23]

The 250th episode with the Manics was terrible.

[Paulb-182]

Ah is that what it was. Didn't see it myself, just knew Manics played. Looked at the lineup and don't like anyone else on it though.

[Kyle Huntington]

So it did, missed last week's. Gonna watch now.

[Kyle Huntington]

This week's episode:

Jamiroquai
KT Tunstall
Everything Everything
Ray LaMontagne and The Pariah Dogs
Delta Spirit

[DrStrong]

The best performances on this show, IMO were Foals and Arctic Monkeys.

[Kyle Huntington]

There are SO many more. They were solid though. The first Arctic Monkeys performance anyways.

[Kyle Huntington]

Janelle Monae was so good last week, especially as she was ill. That was all I cared for though really.

This week Looks to be way better (minus The Ting Tings):

The Ting Tings
John Legend
Imelda May
Chapel Club
Ray Davies with Mumford & Sons
Cyndi Lauper

Can't wait to see Chapel Club perform "Surfacing" on the live show tomorrow night, saw that band about a year ago in a dilapidated room and now they are getting ready for their debut. Excited.

[mudwayne]

I'll be interested to see what Cyndi Lauper does. She's great.

What day is it usually shown?

[Kyle Huntington]

I'll be interested to see what Cyndi Lauper does. She's great.

What day is it usually shown?
Live half hour show tonight full over hour long show Friday night.

And truth, her last album was even holding some tunes on it.

[leighm13]

Anyone catch Grinderman a few weeks ago? Absolutely incredible, not that you'd expect anything less from Nick Cave and co.
WuDP7c3Zd8I

[Kyle Huntington]

Love that performance from a few years back, didn't catch them recently though.

[leighm13]

Ah, is that an old video? Sorry! Was trying to be sneaky at work and quickly copied the URL and closed it!

Apparently they were last on 24th September.

[Kyle Huntington]

Yeah that video is old (I embedded it for you, no worries ha). Yeah they were on recently, I missed it though, really looking forward to Chapel Club tonight.

[Kyle Huntington]

Jesus Christ, The Ting Tings are fucking horrible as per usual. That was so so bad.

[Paulb-182]

The Ting Tings have never been anything but disgustingly bad.

[tawtaw]

This show is the bomb

[Paulb-182]

Apparently Gaslight Anthem are on this week. That'll be a treat.

[Kyle Huntington]

Videos from last show:

QVtXzZpyr7w
Z4lCupMj5Bw
5Nzutqg3b84

[MorningStar10]

How do you find out who is playing next week, would be great if Gaslight are on it.

[Kyle Huntington]

How do you find out who is playing next week, would be great if Gaslight are on it.
They are for sure, the line up is:

Crystal Fighters
Duffy
The Gaslight Anthem
Heaven 17
The Pierces
Marques Toliver
Sheryl Crow

and can be seen every week here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/later).

[Deadbolt23]

I haven't seen any of this series. It should be moved from Friday night.

[Kyle Huntington]

Nah I love it on a Friday night, always been there. Just watch it on iplayer during the week?

[Deadbolt23]

Well the reason I haven't seen it is because I haven't had TV or internet for a month. Should get back on top of watching it now though.

[Kyle Huntington]

Ah okay fair one.

[Paulb-182]

Gaslight will steal the show, I'm sure :-) Really glad to see them on there.

[Kyle Huntington]

How was tonight? Nothing on it really interested me at all especially Gaylight Anthem.

[Kyle Huntington]

Missed last week's but had some big names on. Will tune in for Macca on iPlayer though.

Cannot wait for this week:

The Vaccines
M.I.A
Kings of Leon
Jonathan Jeremiah
Eric Clapton
Bellowhead

[Paulb-182]

Will watch for Kings Of Leon.

[Deadbolt01]

How was tonight? Nothing on it really interested me at all especially Gaylight Anthem.

Cuntington.
The mic was too low, Brian's face went red from straining so much. Don't think the show is really cut out for rock bands sound-wise, bit of a shame, though I was glad to seem them somewhere mainstream.

Will guage that on Clapton tonight.

EDIT: Actually, that Chapel Club video is perfect. Just a bad day for the soundman.

Yeah must have been, were others acts having the same problem that night? They've always catered well to likes of Radiohead, At The Drive-In etc. so must just have been "off" performance.

[Deadbolt01]

Yeah must have been, were others acts having the same problem that night? They've always catered well to likes of Radiohead, At The Drive-In etc. so must just have been "off" performance.

Yeah could've been. Plus it's not my favourite song of theirs, think they'd have been better off doing something a bit more atmospheric. Was a bit punk for the occasion.

can judge for yourself: CE6ynpJm_7k
Much too drum-heavy I thought. Not a fan of the drums on this song anyway really, come to realise the drummer isn't the best.

[Paulb-182]

I think the drummer in Gaslight does the business pretty well. Doesn't need to be too complex to be good.

[Deadbolt01]

I think the drummer in Gaslight does the business pretty well. Doesn't need to be too complex to be good.

He's really fantastic on Senor and the Queen, goes with the atmosphere well enough on '59 Sound but didn't think he did that well on Am Slang. I don't know much about drums though.

[Kyle Huntington]

Welllll, The Vaccines fucking smashed it. Brilliant.

I should really watch the show, more often. Anyway that vid is awesome, though I agree about the drumming being quite heavy on the performance. Thanks for sharing these.

[Kyle Huntington]

Jesus, Kings Of Leon just get more and more boring with each release lately.

[kieza]

Jesus, Kings Of Leon just get more and more boring with each release lately.

LOL, have to agree, everyone is pumped about the UK stadium tour tickets going on sale tomorrow, can't say I'm fussed. Foo's at Milton Keynes however.... :)

[Deadbolt01]

That riff in the first song they played is SUCH filler.

Vaccines seemed alright, bit weird without the reverb/other FX on the voice but pretty good for a first TV performance nonetheless.

[Kyle Huntington]

They were great, nice n raw. Loved it. Hope they get to play another song on Friday. Worked well with his vocals like that too, sounded "rougher" in a good way.

[Paulb-182]

I liked Kings Of Leon. Didn't see any of the others who played. Only bothered to flick it on for them.

[Kyle Huntington]

I'm bored of them but also bored of saying they've got boring. Cyclical.

[Deadbolt01]

Yeah would be good to see Vaccines again on Friday, I liked how they messed with the second verse a bit from the recorded version.

[Kyle Huntington]

x1ZnHbRiV10

[Deadbolt01]

What instrument are they using for the sound heard at the intro and then throughout? Just a synth thing played over the top?

[Kyle Huntington]

Probably a recorded guitar part with effect on one of their pedals. How's the Holy Grail treating you by the way?

[aradiantsunrise]

The Vaccines sound pretty awesome.

Not bad, love the sound, though having to plug it into the mains is a bit annoying, didn't think about that as my distortion one's battery powered. Guess I should get hold of a power extension thingy?

So, also, was planning on getting tickets for Vaccines on the door but do you reckon this exposure means we're better off getting them beforehand? Capacity of the place is 320?

Hmmm not sure actually, I don't think you should have a problem to be honest.

[Deadbolt01]

Hmmm not sure actually, I don't think you should have a problem to be honest.

yeah, was a bit worried because my mate's got work so we're going a bit late, but thinking about it I doubt they couldve gathered that much of a fanbase down here in this period of time.

[Kyle Huntington]

Other two performances from Jools Holland:

"If You Wanna"

rGWVbP0Ftos

"Blow It Up"

r-w3oN0nw2o

[The Personist]

I once watched all the Libertines-related youtube vids from this show. That is all.

/Libertines are still the best

[Kyle Huntington]

This week's line up:

Bryan Ferry
Jessie J
Midlake
Tinie Tempah
Two Door Cinema Club
Jools Holland and his orchestra

[Deadbolt23]

Tinie Tempah is a bit of an odd choice.

[Kyle Huntington]

Why so? They've had the likes of Sway and Dizzee on before.

[Paulb-182]

Not so much at Reading the other month, but great all the same. They were the only band on main stage all weekend who somehow managed to make it feel like we were in a sweaty club with about 3,000 people in, and there's certainly something to be said about that.

[Paulb-182]

That's amazing.

Mm, t'was.

[Paulb-182]

Arcade Fire were quite awesome last night.

[Deadbolt01]

Yeah. Decided Suburbs is probably the weakest of the three for my taste but its still really good.

[Paulb-182]

I must be in the minority in saying The Suburbs is my favourite so far. Funeral was good and obviously has the big hits when it comes to the live show, but I always go for Suburbs now when I want to listen to them. Neon Bible, if I've listened to it three times all the way through I'd be surprised.

[Kyle Huntington]

I don't think I have ever thought about a favourite actualy, they are all really consistently great. Probably Funeral though as I saw them just when it was released too, awesome smaller show.

[Deadbolt01]

There are some really good tracks on Neon Bible, Funeral takes it though.

[MorningStar10]

K.D. Lang
Fleet Foxes
Maverick Sabre
Hugh Laurie

Not an Elbow fan, Kyle? I was a bit disappointed with song choice, Lippy Kids is the only one I really like off the new album.

Watching right now, Vintage Trouble and Fleet Foxes SMASHING it. So good.

Hugh Laurie also being awesome in his interview, piano duet and performance.

Wasn't a huge fan of last week although James Blake was great as per.

This week's looks the strongest line up this season I think:

Arctic Monkeys
Alison Krauss & Union Station
Brian Wilson
Warpaint
Randy Newman
Gappy Ranks

[Kyle Huntington]

Brian Wilson and Warpaint were so good last week.

[Deadbolt23]

Great line-up to come back to. Mostly looking forward to Willis.

[Deadbolt23]

Paul Buchanan was brilliant. Didn't like anyone else's performance though.

[Kyle Huntington]

Loved Maccs, Willis and Buchanan. Looking forward to Friday. Mike Skinner interview was shite but then again Jools' interviews are never good haha.

Haha, yeah I have no idea why Jools persists with doing interviews. He's a terrible interviewer, especially when he's doing it live. Mike Skinner didn't seem particularly interested to talk about his book, so that didn't help.

Musically I thought it was a decent week. Nothing remarkable there, but the only act I disliked was that indie band with the girl in the Panda mask. Can't remember their name. Everybody else I liked, but didn't love.

I can't believe Jools is on his 40th season.

I still wish they aired this show in America.

I love his enthusiasm and his knowledge knows no boundaries, but yeah he is laughable at doing interviews. Part of the charm though, yeah Beth Jeans Houghton that was, wasn't a fan either really.
I still wish they aired this show in America.
Best music show in the world, so consistently great.
