Unlike the previously-posted MP4 file, this AVI has been encoded to be standalone-compatible with most new DVD or AV players which are equipped to play DivX files.
Thanks again, to NorthWestTapers for capturing the HDTV source file.

San Francisco & MTV2 Subterranean
With all the LA love of recent days. We have not forgotten San Francisco! The band played the regular set at the sold out fillmore, with the addition of the US tour premier of Compulsion.
We haven’t come across any reviews as yet, if you have a review let us know. Here are some awesome photo galleries & video:
Some video of Pounding taken by Karen L
Doves are to be hosting this week’s edition of MTV2’s Subterranean. Check out some video of the band on the tour bus, trying to film the show, its pretty funny. You would think Jimi would know the difference between the Williams twins by now!! :)
Catch the rest of the video over at this youtube channel.
LA Wiltern Videos
Check out these awesome videos taken by okeastron, over at youtube. Thanks to Brandon for pointing them out to us.
Sounds like a fantastic show! Really, I haven’t seen the band just yet this year, a couple weeks for me. But they really do sound better than ever live, listening to these videos/bootlegs that have surfaced so far.
Twitter, MacAskill & Tosh
Having just listened to FM94/9 sonic big chill show. I just feel the need to set the record straight. The host Amanda hinted that our twitter page, could be one of those twitter’s, that pretends to be official, but is not. We have never claimed to be official, had Amanda read our bio, and followed the link, she would have seen it is run by us, a fan site. Anyhow, I just wanted to get that off my chest, the last thing I myself, or Justin wants is to mislead people into thinking we are trying to represent the band. We just post news/reviews and whatever we find online about the band and hope people find it helpful to have all that, in one place. Which we know you do. :)
So that’s that. Otherwise, great interview Amanda. Your show has some great music on it. Thanks to everybody who has been twittering setlists, pictures and what not, of the shows on the US tour so far. I was a bit worried we wouldn’t hear much. So its been great so far. Thank you! Keep it coming.
Danny MacAskill is the star of the next doves video, for which we believe will be Winter Hill. He has become a youtube sensation in recent times. Click here to read his story.
The Malaysia Star have given Kingdom Of Rust a rather lukewarm review:
However, Some Cities (2005) didn’t have quite the same impact on me, despite emulating its predecessor as a chart-topper. Even though the odd quality tune like Almost Forgot Myself, Someday Soon or Ambition was present, far too much of it felt like filler material. What was worse was that Doves seemed to be slowly losing their personality.
As for this latest in their oeuvre, I have to say that Kingdom of Rust leaves me lukewarm. In fact, the opening cut Jetstream creates the impression that this album will see Doves rediscover their dance roots especially as there are guest turns by Tom Rowlands of the Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack knob-twiddler Dan Austin. Even though that turns out to be misleading, the problem is that there is too much pedestrian upbeat rock and not enough of the trippy melancholy stuff they first came up with.
