Swans - Live at Primavera Sound, Barcelona, 02/06/2023

Swans’s show at Auditori at Primavera Sound 2023 in Barcelona on June 2nd, 2023.
THere’s an around 5 minutes still footage in the middle, because my phone ran out of the battery at that time.
Audio was recorded individually on the dictaphone.

this set was literally the loudest thing I’ve ever heard in my life

[damando]

32:08 he doesn’t want to be The Glowing Man

I was in the front row and I got the drumstick that broke and flew in the air while the drummer was playing

[nitonitako]

The camera is vibrating from the loudness, lovely : )

[JonathanNelsonOfficial]

Michael Gira goes harder in the paint than any artist to ever play live music. Fucking period.

[nicknickson]

wow they sound insanely good. Sad we didn't get to hear more from Leaving Meaning, it would have been great to see What is This and It's Coming It's Real live, but I can't complain because the entire set is awesome.

[chungo]

Just realised the section between Cloud of Unknowing and the next build up is The Parasite. It's easier to hear it in the flacs of this show

[RickBobO]

Man oh man, I'd watch the whole thing, but I'm about to see them in a couple weeks. Want to leave some surprise for the show. Thanks for uploading.

[DavidNicolet]

Have seen them in Switzerland last Saturday. Unparalleled!

[MaciejSkulski]

Could anyone help me understand what Mr. Michael is saying at 10:34? (referring to his full statement). Thanks

[ThestMrJohn]

Did they happen to play either.. "Frankie M" or
"The Glowing Man"
by any chance?
We're Thinking about going to see them in Brighton later this year.
Our favourite album is
"The Glowing Man" and we found the album "leaving meaning" a little bit short and disappointing in comparison.
But, i might he swayed by the volume!
Not so sure about my wife and best friend though yet.

ur god for recording this and uploading it in such a short manner. means alot to me

[mightguy]

The Beggar is a bit too indulgent 30 minutes of the same thing. Sure the instrumental swells are cool, but when they do it every 2 minutes it loses some epic ness.

I really like this band. They are almost as good as Coldplay
