Such an original band. Can't compare them to any bands that had been before them. Don't sound like The Doors or Pink Floyd (as one journalist said they did!) In a league of their own. Love all their albums

Verve at their uppermost peak. Forget Urban Hymns, Storm in Heaven was their absolute masterpiece

[@ajsledzep]

Storm In Heaven is truly the masterpiece for this band. So lush, emotive, psychedelic, and nicely textured. This band manages to be overrated for Urban Hymns while at the time underrated for this gem - top tier debut album.

Overrated for that, but you think that song far surpasses Sonnet, Drugs Don't Work, Velvet Morning, Come On, Space and time, Lucky man, Bittersweet, One day. God I hate people when it comes to music and the continued absurdity of people with silly opinions that state them with all the conviction of stone cold eternal truths. It's always the same MO. Find something semi-decent but unheralded compared to the more popular mainstream stuff, and like there is some grave injustice that the herd finds something great but the real, unique, discerning individual knows better. Like on every Kinks song, about how the Beatles were inferior to the KInks, or [insert any Britpop band here] far better than Oasis. Ridiculous. People need to get over themselves.

[@lexoz3923]

You may be right, but in Verve's case not so much. There are people who are obssesed with Bittersweet Symphony to the point that they not only dissmiss the rest of their output, they absolutely hate it. They think is druggy crap and want "real songs for real people". One of the few cases in which the fans of the more well known stuff are more snotty and arrogant than the fans of the less well known stuff.

I don’t care what issues they have between each other, Ashcroft can’t deny how much McCabe brings to the table. This is incredible, atmospheric and unique. I Love both in their own rights, but you have to appreciate their musical chemistry. It’s majestic, they shouldn’t be trying to erase each other. All members of this band gel so well, each playing a pivotal role. Can’t forget the amazing rhythm section of Jones and Salisbury, just gorgeous grooves throughout. It’s a shame they couldn’t keep their differences aside because when together, they light the room up. Euphoric Stuff.

Yes McCabe is simply a master of atmospheric guitar. I think we can safely call him a genius of the craft. I've never seen this footage before--man this is astoundingly good! And agreed on the rhythm section, gorgeous grooves indeed. Ashcroft is excellent too!

Splits in the clouds appeared and the sun rays burst through. It was an angelic, otherworldly experience. I was hooked forever. The 90's ruled.

i was in my mid twenties when this came out. the mid nineties were a complete musical blur to me. the verve weren't even on my radar until recently. i do feel that they are the best british band to come out of that era, with primal scream a close second.

[@RobbyDingle771]

Holy Cow! Im pretty late to The Verve party, this is magnificent!

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Glad you like it!

[@clivesnell]

Check out their back catalogue 👍👍👍

[@cduronm]

A sample of a true masterpiece…thanks for the post

[@TobcioccLeyton]

keep coming back to this, so brilliant.

[@bryanmpuente]

One of the best performances I’ve ever seen

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I'm glad you enjoyed this Bryan

[@diptimalik1652]

Same here

[@davidcoon3602]

Totally agree. The Verve are only about 3 years running here and what an awesome live show this is. Almost gives me goosebumps and my only complaint? I wish the hell I was there .

[@Plastiquesmile01]

Snap. A lot of folk told me you have to see them live and its prob still the best gig I've been to. Of many.

[@stormyclouds8409]

Check their 1992 Camden performance. Unworldly

[@pytheus]

Thank you!! One of the best guitar tones ever!!

[@XoXo475]

Absolutely mind blowing! I just bought some noise canceling Bluetooth speakers from Amazon on sale and this sounds amazing on those. The rich bass and guitar tones are heavenly. Nobody could touch Verve ( As they were known before they added the “The” )

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Which speakers did you go for then? Just wonder as I have looked at a few recently on Amazon

[@XoXo475]

@@ScottishTeeVee I ended up comparing 350 dollar Bose ones to some recently on sale Anker soundcore ones and they sound identical . Save your money and get the Anker!! They were about 80 bucks! Which is about 120 pounds or a bit more ?

[@ScottishTeeVee]

@@XoXo475 Thanks for the info, great price on the Anker soundcore 2

[@atticfind2009]

By far a much better version than is on the album, they were incredible live early on in their career

[@annewelch2134]

!!! this is worth more than gold.. I am truly amazed and grateful, although not surprised.. God I wish I could've been there. Thank you! I've loved them since 1993 and it still resonates strongly. So uplifting, so powerful. Verve X

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Glad you enjoyed it Anne

[@coreydubrowa2498]

1993 "Storm In Heaven" Verve is the BEST Verve. I have worn this goddamn record out over the years. As Courtney Taylor-Taylor from the Dandy Warhols called it, "gooey comedown music for the cocoon of the morning after." Undefeated.

[@aubreyowakefield5994]

Still to this day one of the best gigs I've seen - this version of 'Verve'. My mates and I drove through a snowy April (?) evening to see them play at Duchess Of York in Leeds . Nick McCabe's guitar was majestic and the bass was flapping my bell bottom corduroys . My brain was somewhere else ! Storm in heaven and the first three EPs were something else.

[@MarkButton1]

I LOVE the PURITY of this ......a rare performance indeed!

[@kathleensalazar5222]

absolutely 💯 ❤😊

[@gab_infante]

What a band. Love The Verve forever

[@kathleensalazar5222]

[@guildy2215]

This is a band at the peak of their powers. Unbelievable performance.

[@13StJimmy]

Everything about this is a perfect performance. Slide Away was just insanely well done

[@ScottishTeeVee]

I;m glad you enjoyed this one

[@edwardmulholland7912]

This band were amazing. I was lucky enough to see them twice, the first time was the best gig i ever attended. Wonderful, Thank you for this.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Glad you enjoyed it! You were lucky to have seen them, I never did.

[@greetingsbox4229]

Saw them 6 times. It was all after the 1st split so they had already shifted from Storm in Heaven, wish those 6 times were in their early years.

[@bobbyd4400]

Got a chance to see them in seatt l e in 1998 macabe left right before the gig i was 13

1993. Nirvana just exploded and grunge dominated the music scene. Some good bands were overshadowed. I love The Verve.

[@ahlads]

The Verve were very famous and well known. They just broke up when they got famous.

[@greatleapforwards]

it may have dominated popular culture, but the indie scene still thrived - I don't think they were overshadowed. a majority of Grunge bands though got way more attention than they deserved.

[@markhollandsworth6501]

Right there with ya brother. Saw the Verve at The Aerial Theater in Houston Texas in 1997...was mind-blowing how good it was!

[@aarondoodles3380]

No it didn't...Grunge exploded in 91

[@FABIOPALLINI1990]

Nirvana is a peace of 💩. The Verve is most better

[@eduardojuarez8212]

This is music....

[@keith7913]

McCabe OWNS the room at 1:30. This is giving me some serious chills. Sounds great just on my phone. Got to fire this up on a stereo!
