[@jimibarnes3522]

Whoever took this footage, mixed sound, put it together, whatever, I thank you greatly... Long Live The SUPERGROOVE

[@KarlRock]

Incredible footage! It takes me back. Thank you

[@nzpicker]

This was epic! I was right up the front at this show and it was insane. The band were on fire and the atmosphere was incredible. It felt like being in a tumble dryer in that mosh pit. Scary, crazy fun. Thanks to the poster for the memories!

[@chasfrederick1912]

Same! I'm 19 again...

[@Parrish_Muhoberac]

That is the most ridiculous amount of energy I think I've ever witnessed... I truly love these guys.

Cheers bro

[@29teacups]

Wow thank you so much for taping this and bringing it to the internet. I was a 15 year old in the midst of the mosh pit and it was one of the best moments of my life. Unforgettable.

[@tomroach7217]

Awesome, I was about 18 , and never heard them live before, faaarkin awesome weekend, no sleep, and still tell stories of Mountain Rock to people now! Was the best weekend of my life this particular one

[@nzSkitzo]

Thank you for this video! I was 12 when this gig happened and a huge Supergroove fan but to young to go to any of their gigs so to watch this is amazing. They were so telented so young, it always blew my mind to think they were a highschool band.

[@AOTEAROAsam]

Amazing piece of Aotearoa music history. Best video description I've read in a while too

[@tigerwintercrystal7114]

What amazing footage! Energy is on fire 🔥 I was too young to go to any of their gigs so I can't wait to see these guys next year!!

[@gazagerg]

Amazing upload bro - much respect, most original band to ever come out of NZ

[@malcolmmenzies4958]

I've got something left to pay for so that's bloody people for you. Great comment. Cheers. Amazing gig.

[@tctc8578]

I saw them twice live during the 90’s. Once in London and another time at the Power Station, great memories so thanks for the post! 👍🙏👏

[@BringBacktheBiff-q4w]

I remember bunking Polytech in the avo and these guys were playing in the Triangle Center in Ch.Ch. Total energy. Best class I ever missed!

[@carolinetwentyman1612]

They were just so fantastic! I was up near the front and was awestruck by the wall of sound and remember clearly them leaping out of nowhere at the beginning. Probably the best and most memorable live act I've seen. Great memories. Thanks for posting. Long time ago now!

[@AmiriaKahu]

Are you going in 2025?

[@jamesflynn88]

I WAS THERE!! Just found this by accident. Awesome. Made my day.

[@sprock05]

OMG, I was there. This sure brings back some memories. Thanks for posting.

[@willowbrooke1215]

Wow that was one of the best live concert I have seen! They are all so musically talented. They truly look like they are just enjoying a typical NZ jam session.

[@kainedakillerv2704]

Thank you for making his available. Good to see a full set

[@greglincoln1069]

Fucking brilliant! Was a geeky 13yo trumpet player, when these dudes turned up and changed my life. Remember standing on the seat of my push bike and holding on to the top of a corrugated iron fence to catch a glimpse of their sound check at the Rox bar in Hastings. Thanks for the post, Bro!

[@SapientiaHumilitas]

I was there. Great footage, and a great gig! Thanks so much for posting it. As for not getting paid, I recall one of the organisers did the same to our band a few years prior. Total cowboys.

[@SapientiaHumilitas]

Oh....BTW, was it you guys who shot the Electric Mayhem gigs, too?

[@AmiriaKahu]

Are you going in 2025?

[@Reynee78]

I was there!!!! Wow!!! 16 years old and it was awesome!!!

[@maxwellfish12]

[@albertnagel]

It's been a long time since last heard of them, great upload.

[@patakanz]

I get to the end of You Freak Me..... I pause the video.... then I just laugh. The sheer amount of power in that song, that band, and that era.... It's off the scale.

[@jamesschmidt6058]

MAAAAANNNN these guys should have been massive! loved traction!

[@jazzriwiri895]

I was there.. this was so cool to watch ... THANK YOU !!!!

[@alal7675]

They were so cool

[@tyronebass7660]

FUCKING EH TO THE 1 AND ONLY SUPER GROOVE

[@alhaze2161]

Best band concept ever... Considering they are nothing more than school leavers. Should have been so much more. The ultimate sound..rock..funk..reggae.. and anything you want. I'm a huge supergroove fan. Such a pity it never got A chance to really grow into what I could have. Scorpio girls all the way!!!! Got one. Could have been soooo much more. The whole concept rocks!!,

[@Popsy1972]

Hmmm, I may have been there, was 95 the year they changed the venue?

[@boganmatslash]

Awesome!

[@bentengpancasila]

They are having fun alright...

[@AmiriaKahu]

[@maxwellfish12]

yeah but Jonesy's is ball bag hair club for men -)

[@TheMurraymason]

Aw Wow!

[@jaapanui]

If only they didn’t screw over che fu. They could’ve been globally successful. But as soon as they screwed him over they were done

[@daveanaru3038]

Dropping Che Fu was THE DOPIEST move that any band/management in NZ has ever done. I saw Che talking about it. You could see how hurtful the memory was for him.

[@brockshrubb4357]

what happened?

[@jaapanui]

@@brockshrubb4357 they basically did a super successful tour with che fu as lead like this concert. The tour travelled to many countries. They ended up paying him out to leave and he being young took the money and signed a Non disclosure agreement. He said he felt he wasn’t part of their new direction and image. They were a blues rock type band and after the tour he said the new songs they were doing were more grunge type stuff and he was not given any vocals on any of their new songs. He said he felt they were already trying to kick him out before they paid him to leave. Was quite sad. U could see how hurt he was because he was part of the band while in high school. Their success got to their heads and they thought they didn’t need him. He felt he was also to brown for their style after the tour which he feels was the main reason they wanted him out. But after that he went solo and as u probably know has had an awesome career in nz but to be honest he would’ve probably had an international career if they kept him on and stuck to what made them successful.

[@jaapanui]

And when I say paid him to leave I actually mean they sat him down and said they didn’t want him in the band anymore. And gave him some money and made him sign the NDA

[@jeremyloder9788]

Yeah. They fired Che who went on to a massive solo career. Che had a big hit with DJ DLT (Chains) to thank him for doing the remix EP Great Mixes. They also fired their trumpet player Tim and switched Nick from Saxophone to keyboards.

[@ChuckieMcHaggis]

The Steiny Blue stage...

[@sandercohen5543]

I didn't know steve vai was a rapper in his early years 😂

[@parisknowles8968]
