The La's Live @ Manchester 1991 (2/2)

[@jake1994rock]

Honestly how fun would it have been to be the lead guitarist for even one gig. Those guitar parts are so interesting and full of character to play!

[@scleroderma100]

So I was in Augusta Ga in 91 for work and my hotel was next to this place where they were playing. I never had heard of them before. It was some small place. After the Terrible Comedian was finished they came on stage. The next Hour blew me away. So Raw and brilliant. They appeared very confident. I bought a CD from them after they finished. I listened to it for Months and shared it with friends. There Bus out back was cool too.

[@Rolandzebub]

Superb. The LA's could have been The Beatles of my generation. Still, at least we got one album, and for that I am grateful.

[@joesmith2050]

They're on fire, smoking. Lee is so intense. My favorite band and songwriter, Mavers. Cammy is an incredible guitarist.

[@kmdop]

I can't believe that I'm just really getting into them...this is one of the best live performances I've ever heard.

[@jjh___5459]

Raw as fuck. Would love to see Lee Mavers burst back onto the scene.

i guess I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?

[@bowieterrance9513]

@Jay Andres lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@abrahamjavier1420]

@Bowie Terrance Definitely, I've been using Flixzone for months myself =)

@Bowie Terrance thanks, signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!

@Jay Andres No problem =)

They are just blasting through the set.

[@mrsiftercovers5097]

That drummer is unreal such rhythms! Lee and the band so tight live long live the LaS

[@wiretom]

Brilliant sound. Class band. If they were around in the 60's they'd of been a lot bigger..

[@ellieclarkmae6517]

agreed :)

[@thegoodsgone1965]

If they'd have been around in the 60s Mavers would have had no excuse not to get the sound he wanted!

[@elfrancobaresi5896]

Sublime, spellbinding. Thank god for the La's.

[@InParticularNobody]

Shout out to my fellow obsessives who were there that glorious night.

[@willdann7497]

I always come back to this it’s perfect. Lee mavers has just got it

[@MegaApistogramma]

the original lineup of Las', this is by far the best one , lee change all the time the second guitarist and the drummer!!!!this one sounds in the perfect way!! thanks the Las'

[@69birdboy]

this isnt the original..the 1st with barry sutton the best

[@kevinhanson4703]

The La's arnt up there own bums they may have only done one album, but put oasis and the stone roses and it's nine albums between them and the La's took tuck that pair right up with their one album plus Mavers as enough passion to take Gallagher and brown down in one punch

[@mbgames73]

I was at this gig 18 yrs old it was at the Manchester Academy, I was right down the front facing John Powers on bass.. life changing gig ! (But had to battle some chubby girl who kept elbowing me off the front barrier) I think the lead guitarist walked off in a strop at some point near the end, he threw his les Paul down, emotionally charged gig. Great band.

[@yeahyeahyeah-7674]

Why do you think he went off in a strop?

[@mbgames73]

@@yeahyeahyeah-7674 I dunno..who knows ? inner band politics or bad sound maybe or his guitar broke ? dunno

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

@@mbgames73 I've seen him a couple times struggling with that les paul. And the sound. I don't think the engineer they were using on the electric guitar had it set up. It goes out of of tune often. What a band they were. Such a loss they split and went into the grey mist of liverpool only to resurface a few times that I've seen to do the odd little gig. John powers cast are fantastic. I was into cast before the La's as They were just hitting the radio when I was about 14. Sandstorm

Some of these I've never heard, wish they did so much more . This is a great live show.

There's many more songs not played here & not on album. Check around!

Absolute Genius!

[@TB71294]

fkn superb & wasted at the same time, though they were utterly brilliant, could have made 10 more unreal albums. Mavers had more talent in his sleep than the Gallagher brothers imo, who, by the way, I've seen many times, Lee was out on his own.

[@RockyStradlin]

Sadly They weren't as famous as The Who or at least The Stone Roses :( They were amazing in these days.

[@RockyStradlin]

BTW Their debut album is my top!

[@LauraEnW]

He's so cute

[@markwalker5723]

Just.... wow

[@merseymain]

Great posts.

[@susantodd3233]

He seems to dance most with the Failure song. At 5:54 he seems to be looking at someone, laughing? Interesting expressions. Lee's on fire. Something tells me he's got a girl there or about to get one.

[@light106year6]

Susan Todd that’s got nothing to do with being on fire , you’ve either got it or you don’t , it’s that simple Susan !

[@susantodd3233]

I know! Just an aside wondering what's going on in his mind, love to see him having fun.

What guitar is lee playing there ?

[@merseymarinermusic]

Raphaël Zajac either a Martin or a Takamine

[@kyuseok98]

Takamine EN-20 maybe?

[@TheGmanG77]

Why did he change this lineup?

[@InParticularNobody]

Because 'Lee Mavers'?

[@InParticularNobody]

More serious answer - i think it was a North American tour that did for them.

[@InParticularNobody]

@@TheGmanG77 yup - Neil Mavers

[@InParticularNobody]

@@TheGmanG77 yep Neil Mavers. p.s. John Power left in december 91, frustrated that they hadn't changed the setlist much at all in 5 years.. Such a tragedy that they didn't kick on from the platform they had. Have you heard the Kitchen Tapes? There was an album's worth of beautiful ideas in that.
