"A" @ Reading Festival 2000

[@DC11373]

I was never the biggest A fan, but i enjoyed this set very much while waiting for Daphne and Celeste. So much so, bought their album after this festival. They were easy to find in HMV back then, but an absolute nightmare to find on Spotify today!

Fantastic live band

Won't see much tighter on the main stage than this! 'A' were always great live!

Haha, this is so cool, Jason striking up The Police's "King of Pain" at 3:29 min.! Given that he pretty much sounds like Sting (on steroids), and kinda does look like him in this video. One of the most underrated bands of the early 2000s!

I was there.

I saw them at Leeds 2000 and will always remember in "I Love Lake Tahoe" when it stops near the end (just before the last chorus), they started up with the main riff of Van Halen's "Jump" before going back into Tahoe...... I wonder if they did it at Reading as well but it was cut from the broadcast?

They did do that at Reading but it was during a song called Over It. I saw them do it a few times over the years. On their 2019 tour they dropped it in the middle of the song Warning.

@@draisine1609 Thats interesting to know, thanks... It made sense for them to drop it when they did during Lake Tahoe though, would have been just after Jason started saying "jump, jump, jump, jump" on this one First time I saw them or heard of them was at that show, (saw them again at Leeds 2002) fell in love with them right away.... also loved their stage setup with the two higher up and the gold backdrop, made them stand out more
