'This is The Verve: Do not Panic' US Tour Film 1997 - Full HD

[@Brooklyn7051]

I was at the SF show and I'll never forget it! This band is legendary.

[@aristamas4196]

the 90's had a feel, a smell in the air of freedom, carelessness and i think the music reflected it.

[@alexv8150]

Best and most underrated band. Sad that people only know bittersweet symphony

[@Grishedudnitskomu]

You right!!! +1

[@Grishedudnitskomu]

But maybe its good, cause this music is not far all, its just for people like you and me... For those who can really feel it..

[@davestrain9529]

they finally got royalties. 2019. A. oldham Orchestra / stones..lawsuit

[@julesscamell9279]

Such deep songs that build up with great layering. Not 3 minute, 1 month & its never played again crap. These were made to last

[@frankchilelli2473]

I managed to listen to more of their music. Yes the music moves me and in my view a very underrated band. My understanding is that they are no longer together, which is unfortunate.

[@Jbones72]

I had this on VHS, saw them in NYC and it’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

[@mycool8357]

Nick is a beast on guitar!

[@thomkopal1740]

When The Verve produced this music I was going through excruciating pivotal changes in my life. I remember seeing them live on this tour... their music helped me face and embrace the painful emotions rather than running away from them. The alchemy of their powerful lyrics and music ushered me through that time, and I've felt stronger and more at peace for the journey with their soundtrack in my soul. Much gratitude!!

[@NolalanD]

They were something else. I remember being alone on a train from Paris to Sevilla at 21, traveling by myself listening to a Northern Soul, Stormy Clouds....

[@Edogawa1117]

I loved your comment on here and I wish you have had an excellent life ever since.

[@heavensameskies]

The verve change my life too .. they have something that is something difficult explain ,is like powerful and great conviction which you use to renew your mind … sorry my English . Iam natively speak Spanish

[@steveN111333]

Me too dude !

[@Pat_KraPao]

Glad you were able to come out of the closet.

[@keithrogers6904]

The rendition of Lifes An Ocean must rank as one of the best live performances ever.. just perfection..

[@padshardbank]

Check out their version on Jools Holland

[@dougtull4594]

I am fortunate enough to have seen them three times, including on their first US dates supporting "A Storm In Heaven." They were lysergic live. You had to be there.

[@adamusohadamus]

Amazing documentary...the verve in 1997, what a special time, loved it!

[@sdp-ui2lw]

Their will never be another band that can compare to this Band. Better than any drug. Thank you for uploading this. I have the VHS of this.

[@ComplicatedCupcake]

Completely love this band. Richard Ashcroft is amazing. Their sound is satisfying to our collective souls.

[@erics.2886]

I was so lucky to catch this tour! Thanks for sharing this!

[@aldobenincasa1761]

back in the day this VHS was a massive influence in our music approach with my friends, 25 years later the band is rockin better than ever and listening to this songs over and over, thanks so much Andy

[@joannakopf3251]

I an a huge fan! I in think I'd a healthy obsession!lol

[@danilosaraujo79]

Remember seeing this film on MTV. I recorded it on a VHS. It's awesome to watch it again with great quality. The Verve is one of my favorite bands.

Me too, I drove from Texas for the shows! Epic trip...

[@jeheo4699]

Absolutely beautiful

[@dannyh5937]

The Real music fans know all about the Verve and their greatness. It's a shame that the members of the Verve make the best music when they're together, but they can't stand one another.

[@t8br00k36]

This version of stormy clouds is awesome. Love si’s bass part at the beginning.

[@mycool8357]

Definitely. Much better tempo than the album which is maybe a bit too slow after hearing this! Belter!

[@georgekyriakou1720]

This is Music!

[@KINGMONKEY1989]

Not only are they one of Britain's biggest bands but The Verve are one of the best bands ever. Unbelievable to see live and always sound absolutely amazing.

[@tompoole007]

Love for the Verve. What a band!

[@patmull1]

Wow. With that footage, that's not a recording of a concert, that's a spiritual journey!

[@scaryracing]

if you want to total burn your brains out... 100 clips per minut destroys you

[@neilmarson1991]

Pure class. Love the verve.

[@mycool8357]

How have I never seen this! Amazing! So glad I got to see them live myself. Underrated, they were so good live.

"A few years ago guitars and rock music was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The conveyer belt moves on... but i'm not on the conveyer belt." -R. Ashcroft

[@MrG77]

Amazing band, was addicted after hearing History and Urban Hymns was the soundtrack to my 20s. Brilliant memories for sure.👍🙏

[@ZanzibarBreeze]

The expression on the girl’s face from 14:47 to 15:04 encapsulates what listening to Verve is like

[@nateford1415]

It's called, " love ". Haha. Cheers!

[@dosisdb]

yes

[@philiphyndman3583]

Beautiful shot.

[@justaman6]

The verve always take me to another dimension. I just close my eyes and REALLY feel their songs. My favorite band ever!

[@filliphulles2867]

She looks like a young Charlize Theron, lost in the epic Verve sound. Exactly how it feels when you forget the world and put the Verve on.

[@leesaunders7232]

I bought this from HMV when it first came out. Absolutely blew my mind. 🤯👌👌👌

[@WimHoff]

Sublimes.

[@olympian3]

As a canadian kid, the verve were my first taste of mancunian music.

[@XoXo475]

Nice to see another Canadian Verve fan man. They were from Wigan which is a bit more north of Manchester but they are still from that era.

[@mycool8357]

@@olympian3 lots of folk think the verve are from Manchester I think it’s probably down to the Oasis connection. Who knows! Doubt we will see a band like the Verve again! Cheers

[@howdesign]

I'm in my mid-50's and just discovered their catalog. Remind me of the power of U2 with such a great combination of infectious guitar, great vocals and driving rhythm. Sad they didn't have the career of them though.

[@MrWayout74]

Edge compared to Nick Macabe? I'll agree RA is as big of a dick as Bono. But as bands there is no comparison. All due respect🤝

[@lexoz3923]

U2? Please God No!!!!

When push comes to shove, the Detroit show at St Andrews is the best show I’ve ever seen. I thought it that night and still think it 25yrs and 200+ concerts later.

[@jeffyoung5760]

The show was originally supposed to be at the Palace of I remember correctly but yes that show and his solo show at Saint Andrews we're amazing orgasmic

Sadly that they placed a narration throughout Lucky Man. Hopefully we see this gig in full. I mean it was obviously professionally recorded

Wow just now realizing you were the filmmaker Andy. THANK YOU for your incredible work here. You captured the gritty soul of Verve’s work and the sound is just incredible. Really appreciate it.

WHAT AN ARTFUL VIDEO ABOUT THE IRREPLACEABLE THE VERVE... THANK YOU, ANDY! Salute you from Romania, Eastern Europe!

[@andybaybutt]

Cheers Vlad!

[@citydrums7525]

One of good bands that relied more on feel, atmospherics and tonality over orchestration…and pulled it off. Bittersweet Symphony is one of the greatest rock songs of all time…

[@michaelgregos2743]

I saw them live in 1997 in NY and this brings back memories of the best concert I have ever seen

[@edwardmulholland7912]

Great to see this again, they were the greatest band in the world at the time. Love them.

[@Xirsuyx]

Yes they were top commercially. But the greatest band in the world in '97 was Radiohead. '93 Verve was them at their greatest.

[@edwardmulholland7912]

@@Xirsuyx I saw both bands live in ‘97 - both were great, though I always preferred The Verve.

[@Xirsuyx]

They went tits up after McCabe left. Only he could do justice to Ashcrofts compositions.

[@ewanleaper1493]

@@Xirsuyx As a guitarist I personally think Greenwood and O'Brien live onstage are boring compared to Nick McCabe by himself and they're both bloody great, it's all opinions at the end of the day

Saw them at the Boston stop on this tour and it was good but kinda half full and it just didn’t quite click for me. I adore this band. This tour vid is such a treat and amazing quality thank you so much.

[@Bittersweet.Symphony.]

This one slipped by my rarity radar. Many thanks Andy

[@Violet-jy6qs]

I wish The Verve were still going fantastic band

[@mikewhite9717]

There is nothing like Detroit! there is a reason it was called Detroit Rock City. The Brits back in the 60's said it was their goal to play the Grande Ballroom. Motown still rocks. And The Verve would have loved hanging out at Gar Woods mansion back then !

[@Jules-ny2zi]

First time seeing this....fantastic!

[@HyltonE]

[@Thomasknife69]

This is really great. And the live version of Bitter Sweet Symphony is probably the best I've seen on KZbin. So emotional and humble.

[@jetblackstripes]

superb! what a sound!

[@northern_lights9333]

What an incredible band they were…at the height of their powers here. Such a shame Ashcrofts ego destroyed the possibility of any more music as they could have created multiple incredible albums. McCabe, Jones & Salisbury are one of the greatest forces in U.K. music

[@LSUOdyssey]

They did create multiple incredible albums, A Storm in Heaven, A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns. They did it.

[@NachoVideo]

Absolutely superb, thanks so much for uploading. The band were at their absolute peak at this point, and the live shows were dynamite, as your film clearly illustrates. The momentum you’ve created is perfect for a young rock band on tour and very much on the way up. There is so much about this film I love. The live sound is perfect, the sound design is great, despite some inferior interview sources, the camera work is excellent and if you were the only one shooting, you’ve done a great job editing together scenes from different songs / shows. I hadn’t previously realised that The Video 1996 - 1998 VHS was largely culled from this film. I wonder what the story is here? Why hasn’t your film been available until now? Anyway, great job so happy to see this.

[@andybaybutt]

Cheers mate. Yes, it was shot on my 16mm Arriflex, which was actually Derek Jarman's camera from the 1977 Punk Film 'Jubilee'. Not long after I finished cutting this with George in 1998, the band started having difficulties and so some of the things that were said in the film at that time no longer rang true. Subsequently, I was asked by Virgin to put out a compilation of our film work as a long form video when they split later that year. It is only available now as I have dug up the 16mm Master from under my stairs and transferred it to files.

[@NachoVideo]

Andy Baybutt thanks for the info, mate. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who is mighty glad you have dug up the master, your film so deserves to be seen.

[@NachoVideo]

Andy Baybutt one more thing: did you also produce that Urban Hymns recording sessions film: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ20aKaLot9qgac ?
