[@SantiagoBsAs]

One of the greatest Scottish rock bands of all time, unfairly underrated.

[@kevinhouston3715]

Only underrated by dicks who don't know their music. 3 EP's is the greatest collection of singles ever put to music

[@dsaints4202]

[@Themonkeymartin]

This guys don't get enough credit. They were fantastic song writers, they could go from goofy (Smiling) to danceable (The House Song) to epic (Simple) to sad (Gone) to inspiring (She's The One), they did styles for many bands future (Dance O'er The Border with LSD soundsystem), they were fantastic live. But most importantly, the fact that they could go from goofy to tear inducing, the fact that at times the instruments might sound like they aren't being played with strength (Needles In My Eyes), or that they included random sound effects of the enviroment at the beginnig of a song (Inner Meet Me), or that sometimes they wouldn't say lines in the most musically correct way possible (Eclipse). All together create a feeling of closeness, a feeling that this guys are real people like you and me and not just music producing machines, a feeling that they are also complex individuals with not just one face to them, a feeling that no other band has given to me before, which is why I believe this: The Beta Band is the most human band of all time.

[@lylepetrov6505]

Themonkeymartin ...what I like is their relateable, undemanding talent presentation. They seemed real.

[@rickyoldtree]

Thats a very cool description mr Monkey.. we were intensely human, you're quite right.. Im on stage, playing the bass and looking like a knob, but watching this, I remember how indebted and connected I felt to the audience, the crew, the other dicks in the band, like it was something we were all equally a part of and doing together.. not in a cloying, thank you speech way, where everyone from god to the green cross code guy gets a shout out, but in the way that we were all feeling it and just kinda grateful, amazed even, that we had gotten that far, considering how entirely obtuse and stubborn we had been, doing the opposite of what we were supposed to be doing, whenever possible.. you mention Needles in My Eyes, which is the perfect example, the reason it sounds that way, is because we chose to play the instruments we were each the least proficient on ( shit ) to protect the fragile simplicity of that wonderful song.. I promise you, siting down to play the drums, when you basically, can't, in front of thousands of people, is a guaranteed way to keep the potential rock cockery at bay..!

[@mikemonroe8755]

Yes man, i agree

[@TamRoo75]

What a great description of an amazing band that sadly, i discovered all too late. But with a tidy back catalogue to fall in love with i still feel a lucky man...

Something about this performance and the entire crowd singing along at the end; Incredible ending to a fantastic song. Reading comments about this being their last show, the ending crowd singing along makes it all the more powerful. If this moment was the very end of this band, it couldn't have been any more powerful. Absolutely incredible.

[@kenjarby]

First heard this song in 1998 on Australian radio station Triple J. Forgot the name of the band/song and heard it on its sister station Double J some 24 years later. To say I was psyched to hear the song again was an understatement, only this time I remembered the group and song. Good to have it back, needed this!

[@tonysherman1234]

Edward Douglas me too!!

[@kirstendieker9798]

Yes, me too! I'm glad I can now hear and experience it both ways, to mean both things. I'm coming off a run of seven devastating years that began when my "little" sister, my beloved Jenny, took her life. While grieving this loss, I helped my mother care for my dad as we lost him to the obscenely cruel ravages of dementia. As this occurred, my own husband signaled his departure from my life mere weeks before our 20th anniversary. Amidst vague mutterings about me not cooking for him often enough, he began hooking up with the ex I listened to him describe in wholly unremarkable terms for two decades. Yet, as this true "junkyard fool with eyes of gloom" vanished in the rear-view mirror of my life, this song was a balm, my mantra: "I will be alright. I will be alright, I will be alright, I will be alright!" The best part is that I knew it was true. I would and I am. At the same time, I like the idea of people on the side of light and love (which I believe still includes most of us) saying to each other "I will be your light" and repeating it indefinitely until all who suffer know they are not alone in the dark.

What a band - in some ways forerunners to the big and brilliant Elbow sound ( as in One Day Like This). Short-lived, but brilliant and life enhancing! The Steve Mason album is a reassurance that the essence of the band continues to develop.
