The La's / My Generation

[@JJ_Marriott]

Just watched this for the first time a few minutes ago (well I thought I did) Looks like I commented on it 14 years ago, amazing what being clean for nearly three years does to you.

[@thelovelynights8510]

One of the best cover version of "My Generation" that i've ever heard

[@Johnconno]

Dear Noel, this is how to do it, Sincerely, Mavers.

[@susantodd3233]

I always like yer comments. I like this better than The Who's original:-) Much more energy, passion.

[@jamesshannon5152]

Is right La!

[@jankralik4725]

I subscribe to this. Best live song on youtube

[@fronts3165]

Ha!

[@susantodd3233]

Pretty sure I see a huge grin on Lee's face as the audience cheers him at the beginning. He is so into this performance! Interacting with the fans too.

[@Garethfeb16]

well you either got it or you aint! Mavers has it by the bucket load!!!!!! you won't see a better performance of this song anywhere in the world! mavers, come back! it's been long enough!!!!

[@flimbambo]

Few bands can do this justice but you can count on the La s. Unusual to hear them do a cover.

[@Garethfeb16]

i love oasis but this band are the best of my generation! this song just proves it!!!

[@defoperator7993]

this band blows everything else away live...they come with the sauce. so much energy its crazy

[@thetigerkings9289]

So much love for this band. SO glad I got to see them once.

[@coryserratore5951]

I'd love to hear more of the Japan 2005 set. They sound in top form here compared to their earlier appearances in the U.K. that year.

[@ThePunkerica]

This is the best cover of this song OMG

[@7779rr]

Best band, since the beatles...

[@robertburke6174]

Holy shit! Just stumbled across this, what a way to start a Wednesday. Easily the best version live or otherwise I’ve ever heard outside The Who. You must nail the bass solo and John does effortlessly. The shit.

[@kevinhanson4703]

An acoustic and still sounds amazing. I felt the energy on my phone can't imagine what it was like being there. All the oasis comments I'm kind of glad in a way the la's never made it MEGA in terms of commercial status because it was about songs and real passion and not behaving like pop stars. Oasis had songs then let them go for pop stardom same with the roses or more laziness with them. THE LA'S WERE THE REAL DEAL GROUND IN GRIT. DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT DOING ONE ALBUM PERFORMANCES LIKE THAT WILL HAVE PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE.

[@badgasaurus4211]

Oasis never sold out. What are you talking about?

[@pablojablo6371]

​@@badgasaurus4211They robbed the demo tapes from the Real People though.

[@pablojablo6371]

I listened to it on my phone too. If this was the last song of the gig which I feel it was imagine walking out into the world after that !

[@MYJETGLO]

It's eight in the morning and this has already made my day perfect...thank you for sharing!!!!

[@modman4021]

one of the best bands ever singing one of the great songs of all time

[@merseymarinermusic]

and people have a go at Jasper's drumming skills, holy shit!

[@coryserratore5951]

would love a soundboard of this

[@twezzo99]

That´s the only live version of this song that really captures the vibe of the original studio track... at least to my ears... and it´s not the Who!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!!

[@joesmith2050]

I wish they had come to the U.S. on this world tour. I'd give anything to hear Lee Mavers or the La's play. That just knocks me out and I'm not even much of a Who fan. What an incredible talent. I know some American travelled to the UK in 2005 and again in 2011 to see them. In 2011 everything was sold out before I even heard about their gigs.

[@Johnconno]

Lee hated America, he hated everywhere. Except for Huyton.

[@susantodd3233]

Yeah, read all his interviews. They booked him at some decent venues but also some real dumps in ugly locations with few people. There's good people/culture here & plastic, just like everywhere else. Not enough records sold here either. He was in a foul mood a lot by then, still managed to have some fun. He has good taste liking Canada, "a good outlook on life."

[@Johnconno]

@The Beak. Huyton's great! You must live near the part with all the 'nice houses'...

[@Johnconno]

@Lord Nose Kenny, my Dad was though... Those blue remembered hills, where I cannot go again.

[@zatoichiche]

showing noel n liam how its done

[@SunnBurn]

Smash your guitar, Lee, smash your guitar! Actually, perhaps the best cover I have heard of this. The Who performing My Generation at Monterrey Pop in 1967 is still the Gold Standard performance, but this is very good.

[@charlyW34]

There is a purity to this. Top notch. It takes real guts to make this work. three cheers

[@Garethfeb16]

this is mind blowing! lee please record a new album! for the love of god, you saved music once, im sure you could do it all over again?

[@lxx5045]

That's how you take a song, cover it and make it your own ..I give you The La's .. perfect.

[@soulderby]

They absolutely nailed it!!

[@sketchandobserve]

his voice

[@rosemma34]

le sigh

[@garybekhor7707]

....damn...that’s John Lennon’s rasp and the raw energy and attitude is early Beatles ....playing the Who!!!! The irony here is the Las strongly didn’t like being compared to the Beatles and Oasis wanted to be the Beatles....sorry Noel and co....this is how you do it....and as a Who fan I admit this blows away the Who live version!!!!!! And Jasper hits the skills and attitude of the Greatest Moon...

[@andrewbleasdale790]

It still blinds me to this day,thanks lee

[@zilvafish]

Brilliant. Sraight to favorites.

[@flagfish6688]

Awesome,,,just so very awesome.

[@sophasoph]

bass solos? not so common. john power, you are the man.

[@crazyhorseemlyn]

Thats how to cover a classic, fookin awesome

[@toddbefield1100]

Best ever cover!!

[@SimonC7777777]

Damn Straight. Only Lee could do it on an acoustic. Forget Oasis this is better then The Who....

[@harveysmith100]

How tight are the band doing this cover? Most bands can sound together when they do their own songs but just Wow. You could kid a lot of young people that this is the original and the Who covered it.

[@TheHeavyJetsBand]

Amazing

[@redmeatheart]

thats a band right there

[@progforcefield5779]

there is a vid about cast going down to john entwhistles' house no doubt spending time in the pub in his house getting pissed snorting flake and jammin and getting the bass lines from the Ox's mouth!

[@cabbageman4579]

snortin flake! tickled me readin ur comment tha brilliant

[@shipyard6276]

+cabbage man it's called 21st century rock n roll I've got it on VHS

[@susantodd3233]

Stop. He's a grown man now with children. A responsible adult.

[@Johnconno]

'Flake?' You mean 'Tollie?'

[@staraxe1]

Great to see Mavers performing again...where aren't there any new songs??

[@danimod]

just love

[@Garethfeb16]

agreed!!!! oasis do a great live version mind! but your right! this is the best cover out there!!!!!

[@69birdboy]

Such a shame the quality of recording of this ins't high quality...Mavers is ripping the fuck out of the song...that strumming at the end..the crowd pumped him up and he was giving it pure lee of old...so good. Some how , we never quite to witness the true brilliance of this man

[@TheMightOfTheEnglish]

never heared the LA,s sing this before ,,closest to The Who ive ever heared

[@jat13]

Lee's voice sounds really good here, the rest of the reunion tour his voice was shot from laryngitis I believe

[@setthecontrols1810]

Pure class!

[@ttabdead]

Cracking‼︎‼︎‼︎

[@garybekhor7707]

The record company that pissed off Mavers robbed us of THE group that was destined to become the greatest rock group of the 90s and god alone knows what they would have created.....I can only imagine.... there is so much of the Nirvana not interested in fame attitude that defines Rock. The fact Mavers walked away says it all

[@deanfowles3707]

jeez man the la's > oasis every day of the week

[@paulwilliams8791]

It's a Who song. The Oasis mention is a piss.. I know you know this and it's been three years since your post, but ... had to chime it from the future.

[@tbleasdale67bleasdale67]

the la's were an inspiration for Oasis , which is all good

[@cupovdmt]

with the fuckin hand claps aswell!!

[@SharpTac]

LOVE IT!!

[@gronxman1]

Wow!!!

[@anthonykidd1963]

Love The Who, but this is ace!!!!

[@ewie9347]

God, this kicks ass! They make it sound as it was their song really - Oasis who?

[@paulwilliams8791]

Dude - seriously? it's a Who song.

[@ewie9347]

well aware for decades

[@jonkillings2747]

F**king awesome !

[@pktheapprentice]

@Garethfeb16 agreed lee mavers voice sounds great here

[@ruth1488]

[@AndrewBooker-o8c]

Yea

[@jobertcabredo1269]

Lee said ; shall we dedicate this to Oasis? The Who😂lol

[@waggytailsolo]

Holy Fuck! Thank you. Thank you!!

[@badgasaurus4211]

Lol so many people bitter about Oasis in the comments. Give them both their due. This version is the best but Liam absolutely crushes the vocals on the Oasis cover.

[@susantodd3233]

The 2 people who don't like this "just bought themselves a can of whoop-arse." :-)

[@garybekhor7707]

I think it was Liam and Noel

[@SimonC7777777]

Kick Ass - Once a good band always a good band - They made Noel and Liam look like girls.

[@kennethnorman8079]

Wow, you mean you can do this without protools, click tracks, and auto tune? It’s called heart, it’s called bollocks, it’s called 10,000 hours of learning your craft. Like I always tell the youngsters, you gotta write “Fun Fun Fun” before you write “God Only Knows”. You can take that to the bank holiday.

[@ryansams1268]

Lee Mavers pisses all over Liam Gallagher's attempt at this song. Mavers does The Who proud.

[@admstick]

What’s Oasis?

[@Rebelqueen89]

Son quienes mejor han interpretado esta canción, después de The Who, obviamente. Ni Oasis hizo tan buen cover, como The La's.

[@cupovdmt]

[@AndrewBooker-o8c]

Better?

[@Garethfeb16]

lee!! news flash! your gifted! you have an amazing set of pipes and you write songs that normal people could only dream of!!!! principals are one thing but there are other ways of selling, recording and making new music!!! you just have to find them, not doherty for fuck sake!!!!!

[@JOPGONZA]

wouah , la's, not my generation but fuckin;.g good cover

[@light106year6]

Where is today’s generation????

[@Johnconno]

Mostly in The Home Counties with Mummy and Daddy, or fucked?

[@charliebrogan1141]

This song was written by Mani of the stone roses originally. He never claims the credit for it because he is a famously humble and shy individual.

[@ChoobPremyum]

Wtf are you on about. This song was written in 1965

[@staffh3815]

Dont now why they did a cover, there own stuff was better

[@Fazzat333]

That’s not difficult.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Nah I prefer the Oasis version.
