The unique venue known as Basilica Hudson provided the perfect launching pad for such a formidable occasion.\u00a0 Located in the industrial section of town, Basilica Hudson is actually an old, refurbished glue factory that was originally built in the 1880\u2019s. Now a multi-purpose, energy efficient arts center along the city&#8217;s &#8220;South Bay&#8221;\u00a0riverfront, many consider the spot to be a crown jewel of Hudson Valley concert halls. On this night it would also serve as our Space Station for the highly anticipated sold-out show that was presented by Chosen Family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPIRITUALIZED_110823_HUDSONBASILICA_ZAKRADICK_IMG_03-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486374\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Spaceman Cometh: Jason Pierce AKA J. Spaceman performing with Spiritualized on 11\/8\/23.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the stage set against a starfield backdrop, things lifted off shortly after 8pm. The current Spiritualized juggernaut includes 9 band members spearheaded by our flight commander for the evening, Jason Pierce, better known by some as J. Spaceman. A revered songwriter with an almost cult-like following, it\u2019s been no secret Pierce has been battling a number of health issues in recent years. Clinically pronounced dead twice at one point, indeed every show he plays these days is something of a miracle. Performing seated and wearing his trademark sunglasses, the veteran rocker who turns 58 this month, was showered with adoration and encouragement as the countdown to ignition finally commenced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPIRITUALIZED_110823_HUDSONBASILICA_ZAKRADICK_IMG_01-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486376\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spiritualized performed to a sold out crowd at Basilica Hudson on 11\/8\/2023.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like most Spiritualized shows in recent years, \u201cHey Jane\u201d was selected as the opening number. Blasting off with some infectious high-octane psych-rock, the tone was set for the transformative journey ahead. Sounding massive from the very start, \u201cShe Kissed Me (It Felt Like a Hit) kept the raw rock energy going as the room had now filled to capacity. Then hitting the rewind button and taking us back to where it all started, next was a song from the bands debut album, \u201cShine a Light,\u201d from 1992\u2019s <em>Lazer Guided Melodies<\/em>.&nbsp; Making this one count, the momentum really started building here, as sprawling layers of sonic distortion and cascading crescendos reached a new level intensity, matching the equally intense, pulsating light show.&nbsp;And just when you thought you couldn\u2019t take it anymore, our captain gently brought us back down, effortlessly guiding the band into the chilled-out hypnotic groove of \u201cI&#8217;m Coming Home Again\u201d that conjured up some heavy Velvet Underground vibes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPIRITUALIZED_110823_HUDSONBASILICA_ZAKRADICK_IMG_02-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486372\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;If you want a rocket ship, I would be a rocket ship for you&#8221; &#8211; Lyrics from &#8220;Always Together With You&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A beautiful rendition of \u201cA Perfect Miracle\u201d proved to be an early highlight of the set, while \u201cAlways Together With You\u201d took on an infectious astral-pop quality that saw Pierce\u2019s lyrics playing up the bands outer space imagery. &nbsp;Cloaked in white robes, the minimal 3-girl gospel choir sounded beautiful together, adding intricate layers of harmony and filling in the space with \u201cohhhs\u201d and \u201cahhhs\u201d that contributed a great deal to the overall sound. Up next came a trio of songs from the album many, including Pierce himself, thought might be the bands last; 2018\u2019s <em>And Nothing Hurt<\/em>. Flowing beautifully from fan favorite \u201cI&#8217;m Your&nbsp;Man\u201d into the hard charging \u201cThe Morning After,\u201d and then capping it off with \u201cHere it Comes (The Road) Let&#8217;s Go,\u201d which from my perspective, received some of the loudest cheers of the evening. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPIRITUALIZED_110823_HUDSONBASILICA_ZAKRADICK_IMG_63-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486375\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Labored over these words too long and nothing to behold \/ Wanted it to be special for you, but it&#8217;s just a song&#8221; &#8211; Jason Pierce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next portion of the night featured material from Spiritualized\u2019s most recent release <em>Everything Was Beautiful<\/em>. Starting the sequence off with \u201cBest Thing You Never Had (The D Song),\u201d things got a little weird when suddenly&nbsp;a man jumped over the barricade and onto the stage. Basking in the spotlight for a moment, it was unclear if this was part of the act.&nbsp; As the band played on with perplexed looks of plausible concern, it soon became obvious that it was just some inebriated dude looking for attention.&nbsp; Then attempting to stage dive his way out of the awkward situation, fans in the front made zero attempt to catch him.&nbsp; The resulting splat that followed was amusing to some, but a complete mental distraction for others. To their credit, Spiritualized never missed a single note. If nothing else, the incident seemed to be an ice breaker, for as serious as this performance was, fans realized it was okay to let their hair down a bit as it was still a rock n&#8217; roll show.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Idiot bastard, son of a gun<br>Heaven is easy, your living is done<br>Take it down easy, won&#8217;t know what you&#8217;ve done<br>And we&#8217;re gone.<\/p>\n<cite>-Lyrics from The A Song (Laid in Your Arms)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resetting the coordinates now, the deliberately hypnotic buildup of \u201cLet It Bleed (For Iggy) produced massive moments of introspection and then euphoria, while the hard charging angst of \u201cThe A Song (Laid in Your Arms)\u201d furthered the momentum into another deafening climax where Pierce seemingly confronts his demons while pondering over his lasting legacy. Looking even deeper within, Pierce confessed he\u2019s \u201cDamaged\u201d while lamenting the lines \u201cI wanna just close my mind \/ Feel like I&#8217;m floating on a ship out of time.\u201d Soaring forward with cathartic, blissed-out beauty, &nbsp;\u201cSoul on Fire\u201d achieved an almost orchestral peak, despite there being no string or horn section.&nbsp; While the crowd sang along to its repeating chorus, the magnitude of the moment was enough to make the hair on your neck stand up. Acknowledging his struggles with addiction once more, \u201cSail on Through\u201d would bring the main portion of the show to a jaw-dropping close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/SPIRITUALIZED_110823_HUDSONBASILICA_ZAKRADICK_IMG_04-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-486371\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.5;width:768px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Spiritualized performing in Hudson, NY on 11\/8\/23.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So long you pretty thing, God save your little soul<br>The music that you played so hard ain&#8217;t on your radio<br>And all your dreams and diamond rings and all that rock and roll can bring you<br>Sail on, so long.<\/p>\n<cite>-Jason Pierce<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few moments of silence off stage, Spiritualized would sail on with a passionate rendition of their psychedelic space pop manifesto \u201cSo Long You Pretty Thing.\u201d The final song of the night was also the loudest.&nbsp; Encoring with the lone track from the bands 1997 undisputed masterpiece<em> Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space<\/em>, \u201cCome Together\u201d nearly blew the roof of Basilica&nbsp;Hudson and put an emphatic stamp on a life-affirming performance that simply shook the audience to the core. &nbsp;Standing up and facing them for the first time all night, Pierce would humbly take a bow and gracefully exit to a chorus of both cheers and tears. Mesmerizing and beautiful, heart wrenching, vulnerable and honest, it was the rare type of performance that satisfied all of your senses and filled you with hope. The type of show that made you feel lucky to be alive and grateful for the struggle.
