This was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. They were astonishingly good live in the EP’s / Storm In Heaven / pre-definite article period. They weren’t exactly bad live later on, but Nick was always a bit more on the fringes because the songs were more verse chorus verse, whereas in the early days where the songs were considerably more free-form, he was just allowed to let it rip, and it was like nothing I’d ever heard.

“Like nothing I’d ever heard” and you never will again. They were one of a kind.

[@Stop.please76]

Imagine seeing a performance like this today - would be the greatest band on earth

[@thelsdaysband]

True

[@thelsdaysband]

Brian Jonestown Massacre?

[@stevenohenries5127]

They were the greatest band on earth then too! It’s just that great music was the norm in the 90s. Now shit music is the norm. 😩

Mad richard is master Brilliant performance

[@valley_robot]

Reminds me of hawkwind at their finest , the verve were amazing before they became pop , they were a power, an experience

[@mirzaghalib8659]

stop for a moment to realize these 4 guys were around 18-21 years old (young!) when they conceived, recorded and released these gems! truly astounding!

[@michaelkelly7460]

Great performance by the verve in 1992 Simon Jones bass is brilliant and mad Richards dancing on stage

[@LaughingboyMox]

Love early Verve 1st 2 albums genius. Anyone notice Bunnymen influence. Heavy pounding bass and primal drumming. no solos. lots of feedback and sonic landscapes

[@petenoakes65]

Totally! Came straight here from reminiscing listening to this sublime live track...kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZSkiINomNZmsNk

[@jackjude]

I always thought shoegaze along with bands like Loop and Spacemen 3. I didnt think Bunnymen, until now.

[@lexoz3923]

And a dash of early floyd.

[@djstarsign]

To me, there’s an undeniable Can influence on this song in terms of the groove.

[@samdavidson7022]

The space echo usage is pure 70s John Martyn, Nick has even claimed that’s what he was going for on that early stuff

[@justinwilliam4644]

This song........yeah, this song!!!!

[@stefanoiaquinta8970]

The combination of bass and delay is one of the most psychedelic things you will ever listen. Great Si Jones and astonishing band.

It’s staggering to me that people call John Squire a genius, when McCabe is right there. Easily the best live band I ever saw.
