Marion - I Stopped Dancing

Britpop Now Documentary live performance.

[@dannyhaobam9858]

Who says they are not famous? Marion got one big loyal fan here from the far north-eastern corner of India and that is me. I may be the only fan of theirs in the country but who gives a damn! The music is great and Jamie is a real corker.

[@SleutherStrode]

is this the same smackhead who is serving 2 1/2 years in Starngeways prison for Arson, yes a real corker.... you divvy prat

[@dannyhaobam9858]

It is always easy to offer judgement. And anyway if you hate him, why are you here trying to be a such a sanctimonious arse?

danny haobam Jamie is cute and so is Phil !

This is absolutely live and a white knuckle ride at the front of the rollercoaster. The lift at around 2 mins does me in and then his voice and then them all the way to the end is ferocious - this is the nuts.

Every day in 1997, I heard loudly in the car. Why don't you know this good music? ? After all, the best! ! ! from Japan

Dance like nobody's watching with this song. I use to listen to them even now and still one of my fave bands. I feel young with them. I was so so naive I used to cut my hair like Jamie for years and sometimes I still do.

[@fantapants]

I love this song. The bass on this performance is 100 times better than that on the album.

[@barrypotter5751]

One of the best bands of the nineties in my opinion up there with ned's Atomic Dustbin and blur

Time has been very kind to this band like many have mentioned I still too listen to their two albums . The Smile is an incredible stadium anthem that never was, scrap that , Marion were the great stadium band that never was As years gone by you can see how at odds they were in regards to being termed “ britpop “ they different in ambition , scope etc To me they could have been part of the classic British band lineage would never equate them with Sleeper or echobelly I have soft spot for Menswear lol but their music was unashamedly of the moment frivolous where Marion had that depth Harding whether in a chippy or drinking a shandy is a rock star regardless of units shifted I don’t know if part of their legacy , narrative is that they squandered their talent burning fast and in a way has worked leaving it to those old records to do the talking . God I am forty and remember watching this at fifteen 😂says a lot that so many years later there are us on here still saying great tune

[@Riggsy79]

This is quality! Had forgotten all about Marion :-)

[@duncanplane9093]

a bamd never fully realised...great album with free violent men 7" We wanted more MARION

[@beckyrodgerson9527]

A corker. The lyrics are brilliant - "you walk me down to the hall/You're cart-wheeling too fast/And it's making me fall/But my legs are the chains to the floor/Now that you've stopped me dancing". They outshone everyone on that show

[@Ceejaigh]

I remember taping this too back in 95....was it really so long ago...?! lol. top band, cruelly overlooked when you consider oasis have been knocking out the same shit for fifteen years and are hailed as some kind of genius...oh well....theres no justice sometimes!

[@jacobbirdy128]

@Ceejaigh I taped this too !! Still got it somewhere .. When i was in love with Sonia from Echobelly !! Those were the days .. Loved all those Indie chicks !

[@zagozago9893]

Phil and Beard. Twin lead guitars are reminscent of The Rolling Stones and The Smashing Pumpkins. I wouldn't describe Marion as Britpop though.

[@Marion33333333]

Great song, shame the singer went through some fucked up stuff after getting addicted to drugs and almost dying.
