Love You Live

9 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★ - 1 rating

Love You Live is a podcast from the acclaimed Love Supreme Festival exploring the lives and careers of some of the world's greatest musicians through the prism of their formative live music experiences. Unlike a record, a gig only really exists in our memory but it can be hugely impactful - maybe as the catalyst for a career or creative epiphany, a memory or symbol of a certain time in one’s life or just an unforgettable show that left a permanent imprint. Starting with the first live shows they attended, each of our guests brings with them stories from the most impactful gigs of their life and we discuss how these have shaped their artistic and personal development.

Love You Live was produced by Hannah Blake and Entale Studios

We are deeply honoured to welcome Sergio Mendes as the final guest of the first series of our next guest on Love You Live! Bossa Nova was the evolution of a new musical language pioneered in the late ‘50s in Brazil by António Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto but popularised internationally by Sergio Mendes in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Mendes has continued to record, tour, evolve and change through the seven decades he has been active in music: a true musical survivor working with Frank Sinatra, Stevi...

Chilli from TLC, the most successful American girl group of all time, is our next guest on Love You Live. Coming out of Atlanta in the early 90s, they are a multi grammy award winning group with over 80 million global album sales.

Candi Staton

July 06, 2021 04:00 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MB

From her legendary Muscle Shoals recordings in the early ‘70s to disco hits such as “Young Hearts Run Free” to global dance anthem “You’ve Got the Love”, Candi Staton - the “Queen of Southern Soul” - is our next guest on Love You Live. Candi’s story is one of success in the face of adversity. She struggled with abusive parents, partners and record labels on her path to becoming one of the greatest soul singers of all time. From her gospel roots she broke through with her historic Southern S...

Elvis Costello

June 29, 2021 04:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MB

It is our great honour to welcome one of the giants of 20th century popular music to the third episode of Love You Live: Elvis Costello. Costello launched his career with a melodic and sophisticated take on the new-wave and post-punk of the late 70s. He has since gone on to explore Jazz, Americana, Chamber Pop, Country and more across a staggering 31 studio albums. The list of his collaborators reads like a “who’s who” in music over the last 40 years including Paul McCartney, The Roots, Alle...

Tom Misch

June 22, 2021 04:00 - 37 minutes - 34.4 MB

In 2018 Tom treated us to one of the great Love Supreme mainstage performances despite being one of the youngest performers to have ever graced that stage. He has an instantly recognisable sound that he draws from Jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, Soul and a little bit of disco that has made him one of the biggest UK artists to have broken through in the last five years despite not signing to a major label. Something of a reluctant star, Tom Misch is modest, generous with praise and totally dedicated to h...

Gregory Porter

June 15, 2021 04:00 - 59 minutes - 54.1 MB

One of our favourite artists and one of the greatest vocalists of our generation: Gregory Porter is our first guest on Love You Live. “They’re going to be big” is a phrase that is thrown around a lot in music but when it came to Gregory, it was inevitable. By the time he played the first ever Love Supreme in 2013 he had already outgrown his billing, and by 2017 he was a headliner. Gregory has been a part of the fabric of Love Supreme since the very beginning and so was the ideal artist for u...
