Pinkpop Archive
posted 10 hours ago #
There must be something in the air recently. I found myself deep diving into the FuelTV archive and now I'm rummaging around the Pinkpop Archive. I'd heard of the festival in the Netherlands but never really paid much attention to its lineage. Turns out, having a music festival running since 1970 with fully recorded and broadcast performances since 1992 results in quite a few delightful goodies. Here's a sampling of items I plan to partake:
- Radiohead - 1996 - a much different band than today but still quite a compelling setlist
- Nada Surf - 1997 - their later albums were stellar but I never spent much time with this era
- Bjork - 1994 - again, a much different Bjork than modern times but still fascinating
- Deftones - 2006 - maybe the unhealthiest era of the band but a helluva setlist.
- Smashing Pumpkins - 1994 - been on a kick lately
- Dire Straits - 1978 - truthfully, I just enjoy the vibe of footage from this era
- Spiritualized - 1998 - intriguing
- QOTSA - 2003 - again, probably not the healthiest time for this band but a good setlist
