Andrew Weatherall - Rockness 2009

So, got back from Copenhagen last night to find not one, but two excellent live sets in my inbox. This one comes courtesy of the fine people at Rizla, featuring an hour of Mr Weatherall on STUNNING form at the Rockness festival a few weeks back.

It's a crazy setup - I saw Mani and Don Letts at the Rizla Invisible Players arena at the Connect Festival a couple of years ago, playing from a 1920s-style van thing, while glamorous ladies went round handing out free skins to the punters. Magic!

Had a listen to the mix this morning and he's on top form - I had my doubts after my mates' reports of a recent Glasgow appearance but this is up there with the half hour mixes at the end of his recent 6 Mix broadcasts.

Looks like he's ditched the Brian Blessed-style beard in favour of an 'interesting' 'tache...

Oh it's a beauty. Definitely a Saturday post if ever there was one. My band of the year...

how did you enjoy the mode show ?

they playing to "u2" size crowds but without the crazy stageshow to cover up the crap new songs.

Saw them in the San Siro two weeks ago, the place was rockin.

My friend was round last saying Weatherall was amazing at Rockness so this is a pleasant surprise, I reckon this will cure my 3 day hangover after all the sunshine

I totally agree with you about WTR - it's a great wee mix.

I still love this mix, but in hindsight I reckon that the Electronation set is the best thing I've heard by him this year.
