the greatest moment of my life was seeing these guys live back in 2007. had grew up my entire life listening to them from the age of 5 because of my parents, finally seeing them on stage i was in awe and amazement.... such an amazing band

Don't be silly, go and set up a free festival this summer and see what happens. Unless its sponsored and funded by O2 and Coca-Cola its not going to happen because its completely illegal. If you can't be bothered with gigs and festivals anymore fair enough but don't knock others for going to what is the closest thing you are going to get to a proper festival in the real world these days.

Its not that people have changed its society that's changed. The radical left has been smashed by various laws including anti-union laws, council housing sales, outlawing the free festival scene, the Criminal Justice Act and now banning squatting. People are still prepared to take action but its becoming increasingly difficult. I went to a 100% peaceful Occupy protest once, the police decided to declare it illegal for no real reason and proceeded to violently arrest most people that stayed.

Oh it's changed alright, and yes, things never stay the same do they? how can they, thats History, progress, regression, call it what you will, way back in the eighties some of us thought we were trying to reignite something from the sixties or seventies that had been lost, but it hadn't, it had just changed into something else, since the eighties, nineties, and now noughties+ the youth movement and political landscape has changed beyond all recognition, but the cause remains the same...........

They didn't sell out, they got old. When u r young good time=excitement. When u r old good time=peace + steady income. U cant do free gigs forever + u cant be on the front line of every demo when u got kids. What is sad is that the generations after us did nothing – even the occupy movement, which is the most unified thing for a long time is nothing compared to what we got up to. My 18 yr-old son is jealous of late 70s, 80s + early 90s youth culture. U r right in 1 way – too many sheep.

@maccaBable I'm glad its not just me that feels that way.

loved em since i was a teenager...but watched em sell out as i grew up....afraid i have grown apart from the levellers....leave the gigs, beautiful days to those that like to be followers....i think this is boring...souless....empty...talentless.....zzzclueless? like the new generation that are like sheep. these guys prob sold out in 1994..in more ways than one! i remember festivals when they were real man!...bring back battle of the beanfield!

come on guys, the Levs are fantastic. They are just victims of their own success. They need to try different things or they would just rot away knockin the same stuff out gig after gig, and that wouldn't be any fun for anyone!!

saltyluvssofas

havnt heard of these guys before today,, hopefully will be seeing them at kendal calling this year if my stingey mates can get some money together for tickets.... anyways, bloody loving it!!!

I love the zeitgeist album but feel Letters from the underground is of the same ilk and better than to be honest. Love all Levellers and been a fan of all albums since. Hello Pig was the hardest to get into but there are some cracking songs on there. 99 Minutes of Pleading being my fave!!!

@willowhound The sound shift was quite big its true, but the priciples have stayed the same. and its still good. Hello pig probably wasn't their best album but I really liked truth and lies and letters from the underground. It is ok for bands to try new things sometimes you know.

willowhound

@krazykittykat100 They spent too much money equipment, adding samples and sounds that did not seem relevant. The shift from Zeitgeist to Hello Pig was immense, Zeitgeist being their last decent, wondefully decent, album. I have been a Levs fan for many many years and can't describe the disappointment in hearing the last few albums. They are still brilliant live, but I feel bands like Show of Hands have picked up where they left off, and the Levs, unfortunately, are a thing of the past.

@alvisfolk I wouldnt say they've sold out. As far as I can see they've stuck to their principles far better than any other band I can think of. They may have changed a bit musically for a while, but they're back on form now.

alvisfolk

It's not that hard to get, it's on the Hope St single. Amazing song, shame the Levs have sold out. I suppose they just don't have the passion anymore and are blinded by their own success. A millionaire singing Cardboard Box City just doesn't work.

@hanga73 that's a really good way of putting it :)
