The Charlatans UK - Indian Rope - Live At Reading Festival 28.08.1992

[@SG-yl6gi]

The Charlatans with Rob Collins, it was this incomparable groove, it was the powerful Hammond organ hypnotizing... it was Indian rope at Reading ! This music is still alive, watch and listen to these 8 minutes of essential happiness live !

[@mbrew3244]

Hard to believe that this level of musicianship was taken for granted back then - 'Play your own instruments? Of course... why not? Write your own songs? Definitely... Actually sing live? C'mon now... we're a band!!'

[@shareschannel]

agreed and now we have one direction.. no direction is what i call them

[@mbrew3244]

@Realist 1801 what shite is that?? Not the Charlatans I hope

[@davvyefc1]

Ray Manzarek from The Doors was by far the best keyboard player until Rob Collins came along, obviously Ray Manzarek was a big influence for Rob but Rob is now the king off keyboards, nobody plays the Hammond like this guy, absolute legend. ROB R.I.P MAN

[@demetriosaverkiou2839]

Don't forget Martin. People always talk about reni and mani but in my opinion Brookes abd Blunt absolutely smashed it as a rhythm section.

[@ЧеловекУмный-ф8с]

@@LT-sn3wq they are great but Mani and Reni as a rhythm section are unbeatable maan...!

Rob Collins in his elemnt, God bless his soul

I saw them play Newcastle city hall in 1991 on the - between 10th and 11th tour, they were fuckin flying by then. As much as I passionately loved Some Friendly, the Me. In. Time 12" was a breakthrough that led the way to their 2nd album, which was a monumental step up musically. I grew up and matured from baggy after hearing that. I'm still that same kid now, 30 years later and it's still my favourite album by them.

[@theshamanarchist5441]

Same here. And Up To Our Hips comes a close second. I love the B-sides that came with the singles of that time period too, like Green Flashing Eyes and Backroom Window. They had a Garage Band groove about them. Tight unit. R.I.P. Rob R.I.P. John

[@matthewmiller8048]

Contemporary garage band at the time. I loved the hammond organ, still do. Best gig I ever went to in early 90s, blew my mind . I saw all the popular bands around then.

[@cassiemk3722]

Oh my. So good. Don’t even remember Tim’s hair looking like that!

[@radburn75]

5 dislikes. Baffling ! This and Everything Changed are their greatest moments. First got them when I saw a ‘still’ from the Indie Chart on The Chart Show-1989. Got that 12 inch. Everything Changed on the B. They were superb. I was 19, in Boro. The height of all the indie-dance fusion- they rocked. Saw them at Newcastle Riverside in May 91. Incredible.

[@1297wombat]

why does this never get played live any longer? My favourite song of theirs by far,

[@ken3866]

[@CarlDraper]

indian rope trick is when a snake becomes stiff (*snicker*) and climbs up out of a pot as if it was a rope.

Carl Draper burgess emerges from a basket with a v shaped tongue.....nice

[@wearetelemachus]

Debut single, one of the first songs the earlier incarnation of the band wrote - here they have their 2nd guitarist Mark Collins, making his debut replacing Jon Baker. "Indian Rope" very likely a reference to (60's hammond supremo) Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and the Trinity's arch organ groover "Indian Rope Man" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKrXYqOfd7apd80
