The Verve - Blue Chicago Metro 1993

[@vnkman4391]

out of control performance, nothing touches this anywhere at any time on any planet

[@verve92]

YES YES and YES. McCabe is out of his gourd. Saw them this tour at the Troc in Philly.

I wonder if the people had any idea what they were witnessing at the time how historic this band would become. One thing is clear, the Verve never sucked. They were locked and loaded from the beginning. This a classic performance. King Richard and his blue quest knights doing battle.

@DylanEthanRide They were the Truth. Wish I could have seen this live. I really think The Verve was and still is so overlooked. They had a sound and mystique so original and captivating.

[@hanzelhansolo]

this is great, he ever signs incredible and the boys play like gods long life to verve

[@FocusReborn44]

The Verve are a killer band.

[@JoeyLevenson]

ive been on that very stage..

[@ReidosHouse]

Great footage

[@coleodin]

i LOVE the little pause at the end (@ 3:17), with richard and pete givin' a quick "One, Two, Three!..." count before they slam back into the song.... one of the best Nick McCabe moments ever! (there are sooooo many). VERVELUV FEREVER!

OMG!! it's so amazing!

[@Marre8056]

Oh my, soul mate? I LOOOOVE The verve and I'm a HUGE dm fan!

[@eric1012wi]

@chubbyfacejohn No it wasn't. I was there and it was sold out! I also saw Ride, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints, Chapterhouse, Stereolab, Catherine Wheel, and Swervedriver around the same year as this show. The Cabaret Metro was the perfect fit for all of those bands. I so wish I could return to those days. Man! Talk about fun!

[@chriscampbell9191]

All great bands. A lot more than just grunge was happening in 1991-1994 or so, that's for sure.

[@avalanchelily]

In their prime!

[@FluffHead8844]

its a love song, a love song for ecstasy anyway

[@verveverveverve]

Great!!!

[@chubbyfacejohn]

Actually... That venue is huge for them in 1993.

[@ivett2711]

where did you get this?

[@SuperiFox]

@LAMF1968 this is still amazing though.

[@chubbyfacejohn]

I totally love the hair. *looool*

[@acoutts]

For a while - the drugs worked.

[@Pattypolzl]

Oh sorry, But born again is a good music too.Of course, of course isn't as "blue" or other verve song. I hope see Ashcroft singing again by this way. Doesn't matter if he uses drugs or something like that. The fans wanna see Richard like a Rock Star, A psicodelic rock star and not, like a holy man. "Jesus stole our Richard Ashcroft" it's all.
