Longpigs - Lost Myself - TFI Friday

The Longpigs on TFI Friday recorded 27 September 1996

[@petermcculloch5763]

I really thought they would be huge. The Sun is Often Out is a perfect record, IMO, easily one of the best albums of the 90's.

[@KujoPainting]

For real, they fell off a bit on the follow up though.

[@pea6]

Yes! Absolutely brilliant album.

[@KRAPYBARA84]

Just got into it and it is on constant repeat

[@K33f11]

They went to the states, got shitfaced, coked up &..... damn shame

[@josephmorales652]

Kujo Painting really? I love mobile home alot

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

One of the most slept on bands ever. Longpigs are so underrated its criminal. This and She Said are top tunes along with so many others from this amazing band.

[@pulgosojj72]

Tragically underrated band. They were sublime.

[@pulgosojj72]

It is such a tragedy this band does not exist anymore. They had such great songs. both albums are gems. Like a lovechild between Jeff Buckley and early radiohead...super talent

[@MelRoberts-e2o]

An amazing disconstuct of social media. Generational crossover that warms my heart.My daughter and I saw them at Sheffield O2 (present) for my 50th . Repeat for my 60th booked then Brian had a throat infection 🫣. Awesome band .

[@scottcuk1]

One of the most underrated songs of the 90s that still stands up today. Hats off the lead guitarist, Richard Hawley .

[@themanwhosoldtheworld8683]

richard hawley's solo career is so fucking good

[@pookysnooky26]

I was here at TFI friday, I loved them. Was only young so unfortunately couldn't get a pass to the bar. Nice to know people still paying interest in them. He signed an autograph for me but i lost it. Damn!!!

[@damonalbarn9854]

2023 and I'm still listening to the longpigs such a great band but very underrated in the 90s as was shed seven too, pure excellence.

[@Ponydowncrew79]

I saw them support Shed 7 at Leeds Irish Centre in about 94, they blew Shed 7 off the stage.

[@callum1337]

the bass players now one of my uni lecturers

[@jakedoingmusic]

10 years later aha now he's mine..

[@jeffamo]

@@jakedoingmusic which university does he teach at?

[@andytraverse]

Incredible band - saw them earlier that year supporting Sleeper in Manchester, have been hooked ever since

[@psj3809]

Totally agree, on and on is another classic. TFI Friday had some great years during the indie period. Hearing this song reminds me of all the Shine compilations i've got, remember those ?

[@tylerama]

I know right ? It was music gold every Friday evening, such a special era.

[@neillaurenson1270]

Ha ha. I loved the Shine compilations.

[@mlucifersam]

I was at the recording of this, invited, along with a load of mates, by the band themselves at a gig the previous night at Northampton Roadmender! You can see the back of my bonce at 36 seconds in.

[@marcdelaunay1]

Lol.....our band played roadmenders few days after em on a tour lol....great band.

[@mlucifersam]

@@marcdelaunay1 what was your band called?

[@DrumsTheWord]

Mr Boyle on drums fascinated me. His parts were perfect and so well executed. Oh, and the songs...well that should go without saying. Amazing band!

[@MrShoecake]

Dee had a thing live that was almost magical. I loved watching this band live. They were amazing.

[@RosesInTheHospital]

I miss Britpop I miss music like this I love the Longpigs

[@jorat2410]

I still listen to this song, an all time favourite ❤

[@duncanpriestley964]

I love the way he fully committed to the vocals. It's so over-stated and the complete opposite of Richard's vocal style.

[@Jooleywoo]

Excellent, miss these guys, I remember seeing them back in 1996, wow, 11 years, scary hey. if only they could have gone on and on and on ...:)

[@LeesOutdoorOdyssey]

Scary, its now been 23 years

[@tylerama]

Now 27 years and Longpigs are as great as they ever were 👌😄

[@gaynorplant]

Just fucking amazing I love this song so much reminds me of when I used to run a pub and my Saturday night dj used to play this

[@misslaneyfew]

Love, Love, Love this album, played it to death and still do today.... i was totally gob smacked when someone pointed out that Richard Hawley used to but in Longpigs and what do you know, there he is! thanks for the upload! :D

[@danidelija5828]

Saw them 1996 with Pulp in Münster 😊

[@bertbretherton]

Thanks Mark for posting this magic.

[@tandem12vids]

The bass player is our frontman's dad, Simon Stafford. ✌

[@Morrissey71trfc]

+Tandem Tell him his Dad is part of the greatest movement since the 60's.

[@sesquip1]

Why only two albums...come back Longpigs....we love you

[@AbdulShyllon]

What incredbile songcraft!!! im in awe!!

[@markhall6601]

Absolutely marvellous, Splendid indeed.

[@alastairsaint9631]

Brought the debut album on impulse on its first week of release.I thought they were going to become huge and I had discovered something before all my friends had.Did`nt quite turn out like that

[@harmonicresonanceproject]

I worked on this gig!

[@bringbackcuccurullo]

Tell your lecturer they should reform-a massively underated, amazin band -the second album is one of the best of all time

[@avanzatotrxx]

Class!! Can't believe what an underrated band they were/are!!

[@Caligula138]

Richard HAwley is the Best! his solo Albums are Brilliant!!

[@davidcopson5800]

True.

[@OngoingBox]

think this is one of the best britpop records and just a fantastic record, every song

[@lexyellis]

I forgot how much of a great band the Longpigs were. Amazing.

[@skippy646]

i want to go back to these times ! the world was good at this !

[@ClemProductions]

First heard this song on an early pre-release Radio 1 live session with Steve Lamaque- it was a performance that matched any I've ever heard, as powerful as Nirvana with beautiful dynamics

[@rockinjkd]

I still have their albums. Great.

[@TomEbbsjamasteroids]

i've met the lead guitarist for longpigs in france in a respite, he's still there and was working as a psyche ward guy

[@julesakers3051]

You mean the renowned Mercury/Brit nominated solo artist Richard Hawley? Are you sure?

[@psj3809]

I loved these years, great indie bands on TFI Friday/Top of the pops. Great compilation albums - Shine. TFI Friday was superb back in the day, ideal viewing for having a few drinks before then going out. Went downhill once Evans got Boyzone/Spice Girls and other crap on the show (He used to slate all these pop groups before). When they had indie bands on every week it was great

[@tylerama]

Those Shine compilations, I must still have some of those at home somewhere.

[@docgreen27]

god i miss the longpigs! excellent band and brilliant live

[@NafisaAlinaf-y8r]

Oppa 😢😊

[@Anonanon5705]

What a great song.

[@HammerHammer-wl8ui]

Beautiful X

[@PatrickAlanMcL]

whoever posted this, cheers. tune! these guys pissed on bluroasis

[@AbsintheGirl27]

was coming up to my 15/16th birthday at this point but such amazing memories x

[@senay4481]

SO UNDERRATED

[@theenglishman3368]

Richard Hawley on guitar legendary - Stafford on bass went to play with Joe Strummer - great band - used to see them hanging out in Kentish Town

[@lemonybiscuits4824]

marvellous track that somehow passed by this suede fan in the 90s.

[@urbansoulzz]

i was 12 when this was aired, only feels like yesterday

[@mlucifersam]

The big head seen first 00:36 facing the lead singer is mine! :p

[@ozztyler176]

Met them a few times at different events in Sheff. Top guys all of them. Hawley is a top dude. Remember being at album launch for some band (long forgotten). Hawley was DJ at the event. Played most of my requests :-)

[@ShizuokaDolphin]

Awesome band - gotta love the 'pigs!

[@ryansmith2212]

one of the best 90s bands

[@ryanholio]

I was with dee, the drummer just last night! He was the real talent :)

[@mistermyers777]

ryanholio RIP

[@baldyholly79]

That is mad, yeah thats what reminded me too, ive got this on shine 7 i think? Shed sevens Chasing rainbows is on there too, great times!

[@Fatbudda13]

Love it, fecking love it, goosebumps

[@TheRicardoguitar202]

I wish the press could have given Britpop a better name than Britpop

[@peterobinson3678]

It's 'The Press'. They'd have gone with something else catchy or stupid , , like ''Squizzrock' or ''Cuntpop' otherwise. Could have been worse.

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

Rock n Roll. I've never ever coined any poxy name for guitar music.

[@roberthughes9734]

Richard Hawley = God

[@TooManyBrackets]

What, no wikipedia entry for the Long Pigs? That's a crying shame...

[@peterobinson3678]

Well, you know what to o about that....

[@wimbledan]

Is now

[@emalee_davis]

I wish they still made music like this

[@modsheff1]

greatest sheffield band of alltime! mobileshome heavenly

[@dwarfish]

He's still young! :)

[@baldyholly79]

Awesome song.

[@soux30p]

my come down song after blinding nights out in the 90's thanks for the memories. x

[@Nick-dq8or]

Banger

[@mojosharkmark]

They would have been bigger than Radiohead if they had kept going, great song writers, great album…

[@miguelramirez2529]

I don't think so, Thom Yorke is the greatest musician of 90's decade.

[@scotttully8572]

Anybody following Richard Hawley? The sweetness goes on and on.... and on and on...

[@fionarobins4958]

Thom York is good but I wouldn't say he was "the best song writer of the 90's",I love radio head,but I think nirvana were better&kurt cobain I prefer 2 radio head,but thats just my opinion💜

[@oasishaun]

TFI What a show.!!!!

[@peachy0014]

God I wish they'd consider a one off reunion gig. Yes, I'm aware one is dead

[@Tricky_Nicky]

@rattleandhumgirl The bass player is Simon Stafford

[@darrenwright2024]

If it wasn’t for this song I’ve never have known what real music was !

[@be9509]

none of the kids jumping to this fucking tune....

[@acquiescence5331]

I see you Richard Hawley.

[@gohumberto]

What time of day does Richard Hawley put his Rock-a-Billy gear on?

[@gregorystatham7954]

The drummers Blades shirt is mint!!

[@luqas99]

I can hear it... This song still rocks though, no doubt about it.

[@JohnMellor5202]

HAHAHA look at Richard Hawley. I never knew these guys first time round but they do sound incredible. I do wish they'd let Hawley sing though! :)

[@timothyw98]

That end bit. 90s what are you like lol.

[@Steaminlidz]

Overall, I hated Britpop - but Longpigs 'The Sun Is Often Out' and Bluetones first LP were great records of that period.

[@KRAPYBARA84]

So good!! do they only have the one album?

[@mlucifersam]

No. Theres 2

[@julesdotty]

what ever happened to the longpigs? I do miss them!!!

[@mlucifersam]

No I have the whole show this is from and there's no Frank Sonata. I have this cos it's the show I went to the recording of. This song was the playout.

[@VV-bx4ii]

모두 최고이지만 그래도 이 라이브에서 기타솔로는 최고 였다. They're all the best, but the guitar solo was still the best in this live.

[@DamnArms12345]

Richard Hawley actually hasn't changed that much appearancewise

[@bobbyrundle]

love liam gallagher on the drums

[@sudeaksu9337]

[@raketter]

@bassthing26 aye, lived next door to dee last year. f'king legend

[@rattleandhumgirl]

[@Plurimusic]

[@neverender888]

Looks to be the same as in the verse, which is E major, G# major, A major and F# major.

[@julesakers3051]
