Rapido - The Verve ( BBC2 1992 )

[@Kelly-qy4yr]

Richard Ashcroft was - and still is - a stunningly beautiful man.

[@redguerilla8248]

3 years since I last commented but still listening to the Verve on the daily, I've got a weird feeling they might get together again for some gigs in a couple of years Last time i said that they actually did, went on tour, Glastonbury and released a new album. We can dream.

[@edwardmulholland7912]

This footage is now 30 years old and I still love the band. The first 3 albums are wonderful, but there is a special place in my heart for early Verve.

[@tgpmanutd]

saw them in 94 changed my life

Fucking cracking. 1992 this video was made. I saw Verve supporting Spiritualized at Bristol poly in May of the same year. 6 quid.

[@mattiemclean9882]

the connection there being Ashcroft stole Jason's missus off him around then!

[@myaphextwin807]

I remember taping this on VHS at the time. What a band!

[@violian5]

It is currently 2021 and I only have 15 albums on my iPhone that I've marked as "Top Albums". 3 of them are from The Verve: The Northern Soul, A Storm in Heaven, and Urban Hymns. So yeah, I think their music is timeless!

[@miamitten1123]

What’s your other 12 Albums?

[@Rafael-fd9cu]

Man, forth is a very good album as well.

[@jule_ah]

[@spiritualmeditationmusic2177]

[@dioannalovecraft1117]

I miss they long hair and this era

[@davidellis5141]

They were so good.

[@dougie1968]

I love it when bands as brilliant as The Verve put the town they're from on the map. A town the world never knew existed or if you live in the UK don't give a toss about. They turn their humdrum towns into Meccas. The fans visits being tantamount to a pilgrimage. Same goes for The Cure who put Crawley on the map. It's funny to think amongst the socially housed, inbred, anti-social, feral scallys of Wigan there are The Verve fans from all over the world seeking new or expanded meaning about their self, others, nature or a higher good through their experience leading to a personal transformation just by visiting the local chippie the lads commonly frequented, buying battered sausage, chips and mushy peas no doubt. 😁

[@jackmuir8972]

I think you aren't giving enough credit to the Wigan Rugby League Club

[@vanman757]

😀👌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

[@HyltonE]

I'm from California and I literally made a pilgrimage to Wigan for this exact reason. And yes, I remember visiting a pie shop to get a Poole's pastie where my local friend saw Richard go once, haha. You hit the nail on the head, my friend, it was an incredible experience.

[@craiglbeaumont]

[@lucasm3879]

Richard Ashcroft's flat - that he got kicked out of when he owed his landlord thousands in rent! The girl on The Verve EP photo was his ex girlfriend too - who left him when they were recording Northern Soul.

Producer: “right so we’re doing this piece about a band & we’re gonna film them twatting about in Manchester. Where should we take ‘em?” Everyone (in unison): “THE FUCKIN ARNDALE CENTRE!”

[@vanman757]

I thought that they where being filmed in Wigan town ?.. Are you sure that it's the Arndale Centre ?..

[@cbrste]

This is filmed in the shopping centre in Skelmersdale deffo not the Arndale

[@redguerilla8248]

Getting Nick McCabe to talk is a very hard task, seems the same for the rest of the band as well apart from Simon Jones on bass.
