What a day. Train full of fucking loons from Manchester on a glorious sunny morning, space cakes being shared freely. Totally mashed and talking in penguin dialect before hooking up with some birds in the woods at Haigh Hall who had a bag of pink champagne whizz to get us straight, back in the crowd for John Martyn and Beck and the DJ playing Singing Cowboy by Love before Verve hit the stage under stormy clouds. Perfect. Jumped in a Transit van charging a tenner a head back to MCR and my mate burst the doors open at Fallowfield and my last memory of the night is him legging it down Wilmslow Road with the van doors flapping open! Fucking top times.

Life's An Ocean Too much commotion, too much emotion Dragging me down Living for today, don't have time to pray Ready for the game Take a line of fickle flame Imagine the future Woke up with a scream I was buying some feelings From a vending machine Say that I will see Something more than I have There's something inside of me Crying out for something else And if someone hears my scream Put it in a letter to me Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean too much commotion Not enough emotion to satisfy me Slippery slidey road down It's slippery slidey road down Hold my hand and we'll walk down Dry those eyes and we'll walk down Slippery slidey road down Life's an ocean, life's an ocean Too much commotion, too much emotion

The Verve wasn't Richard Ashcroft. He was the face of the group and obviously wrote some incredible songs. But Nick Mccabe and Simon Jones were the engine that made this band fly. No better duo. Nice Mccabe is a genius pure and simple.

[@harrytrent13]

And Peter Salisbury on the drums weren't bad just a great band love seeing him play with the charlatans

[@dravendean8710]

They were all equally important to the genius of the verve

[@lucasm3879]

@@harrytrent13 Exactly. That’s how magic happens - collaboration. I love Nick Mcabe, but he’s said himself there was no one else who could replace Ashcroft in the Verve. Same as the Stone Roses - take away Ian Brown and it’s not the same, I don’t care what anyone says.
