The rev have always delivered something unique. Fantastic band

CLASSIC GLASTONBURY MOMENT

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

Maybe one of the most under rated songs of all time

[@colliwobs123]

I agree

[@Alwaysontime-dh1gz]

Absolutely agree, overlooked masterpiece

[@jamesprimavesi2392]

This actually sounds better than the album version. Incredible performance

[@christopherhuot2826]

This always makes me a little sad, what could've been. LOVE IT😅

[@deepzeliade-dk8uo]

Saw them last night at Boiler Shop Newcastle they still amazing.

[@Nunyabisnatch]

I love how emotional that fan is at the beginning. Wow. That guy is awesome! I seriously miss going to a show where people are open, passionate, and observing with their full self; Opposed to watching an entire show in a detached state, through a glowing screen set to record. I love how sentimental and emotional Jonathan Donahue is here. It could be perceived as corny, but that pure openness pushes that away. It’s really nice to watch. This song makes me think of road trips in the summer time, wild honeysuckle, swimming in rivers, sunbathing on rocks, and star gazing-the summer of my youth!

[@XORTION]

Love and compassion has died. Welcome material world

[@CalumnMcAulay]

Nice thoughts ❤

[@neiljenkins6265]

Just saved 2 versions of this in my fave folder, there could never BE enough versions! Love It!!!!!!!!!!

[@WillieWagglestick]

Wow, goosebumps from watching this.

[@jimbob3038]

I remember watching this moment, never heard of the band, but was blown away by this song and performance. Wonder what happened to them 🤔

[@denz180]

Still recording and playing live

[@williekay62]

Legendary performance.

[@Mrius86]

Bought All Is Dream when I was in junior high. One of my favourite albums that there. Secret Migration is also good, a bit darker. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidwilliams9998]

To get a reincarnation somewhere someday where I too stand before a crowd like this and make this connection. I can conceive of no higher privilege.

[@plev10]

EPIC. Thanks for uploading. Can't believe the album was released 20 years ago. Hope to see them again.

[@andersonfernandes8237]

Beautiful music

[@TimeTraveller010]

A song of Epic proportions that guides one to the oracle.

[@TheIkaraCult]

I saw them at Reading in the same year, and they were awesome too

[@letmetellyousomething123]

The last 2 min remind me of my final 2 mins on earth

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

The guy at the beginning in the crowd , where is he now ?

[@wallacelovecraft8942]

0:11 Kafka having to stand behind some taller guy waving his arms around like he's possessed, for the entirety of the event.

[@supernovax6907]

majestic as fuck

[@nicoledavis3382]

The guy at the beginning is a whole mood

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

Now the dark is rising

[@plopperator]

Happy hippy at 1:08

[@lesbsocal9107]

Better than the studio version

[@cosmoshfa88savant66]

Before the world became woke

[@steveturnbull7869]

The world has always been woke…

[@denz180]

What has 'woke' got to do with anything. Do you even know what means. Pretty sure Rev would be woke in your eyes

[@domagoj5455]

as much as I hate american politics I love their alternative rock music.

Are all the members of Mercury Rev transgender?
