I wasn't there, but I've seen some clips of this gig. As great as some moments of it are (ie Nick's guitar), does anyone else think it seemed really anti-climatic as the huge homecoming gig it was hyped as? I bet they'd had the major falling out before this gig, but kept it together just to make the money.
I was there..squeezed up at the front on the right hand side...still the best moment Ive had at a gig - the energy from Come on was soo incredible, plus didnt really drink at all during the day, so just vibed from the power of the song and them.....7.42 is the absolute best and Pete Salisbury's drumming is just great, its a like a heart attack!
The greatest British band since Led Zep. It's one of those little under appreciated facts but there it is. Just wish they could stand each others company for more than a nats heart beat. Still we have our memories.
I think its at 4:12 - when the different drum riff kicks in and McCabe's guitar goes stratospherically insane - that I usually cream my pants when watching this. What an absolutely sensational performance. McCabe just stands there cool-as-you-like whilst making the most ungodly amazing sound come from that guitar.
i wish i could remember more of this day but i was so stoned i spent a lot of the time on the floor in giggling fits, i do remember a food fight in the queue to get in and beck was top as the support act and "dont buy vauxhall cars" from ahscroft - legend, i hate vauxhall cars!
Best gig i ever went to, any one who was there remember the strobe during this performance it was intense....Ashcrofts a legend.......who's up for having a party.................come.....on
I was there and this was the best fucking gig of the 90's forget Oasis live saw them the same year and they were shit. this blew my head off about 20 metre's from the front..ASWOME...
Not sure when in 1998 this gig was, but I saw the Verve at V98 in Leeds & as much as I love them, McCabe had gone & they had some guy playing a slide guitar in his place & it was terrible!! I could have been watching James Brown in the Disco Tent & now he's deeeeed!!!
unfortunatly i missed it but i do remember watching it on telly and the impact it had on my life from then on in and its allso good to see all of you who share a commen big interest in this gift from above
Agreed... this was and still is the best gig i ever went to and Come On was just the icing on the cake!! I was right at the front aswell, being 5ft 2, i never normally go that far down but I was litterally just carried to the front.... or it could have been that i was so high i just floated... who knows!!!!
nick mcabe is owning that axe fuckin hell thats how its done!!! in capitals WHAT A SONG if i werent goin to bed id start drinkin and kissin the sky!!!! bastard oh well tomorrow it is then COME ON!!!
richies a's lyrics are just awesome where do you come up with ''i woke up with scream i was buy some feelings from a vending machine'' thats just fucking amazing
Excell motivate stimulate sunset ecstacy heroin loyalty freedom trance hypnotism - anyone else fancy describing the sound of mr nick mccabe the underground! FUCKING COME ON NOW!!!!!!!!!!
there is a video with some of the concert on it, just about the only verve video going (black case) - i saw it on ebay not long ago, the rest of the videos pretty good as well, just the band on the road and that kind of thing
HELLO there you cant get this on dvd but you can get some of this concert on video i dont know why you cant get this on dvd its mad to think you cant get the complete concert if you know anybody that has a copy can you let me know
manchester was amazing!!!! Shame about the crowed :-) but the Verve were there best! I saw them at Roundhouse and they were no near as good as Manchester - sooooo much enegy!
It was watching this concert on tv that got me into The Verve....woke up semi bladdered and this was on! Top performance...Nick McCabe is God! ty for sharing this one!
Does he say this is a big FUCK YOU..this is a big FUCK YOU..COME ON!!!
