Sleeper - Alice In Vain (Live at Glastonbury 1995)

[rollog60]

Thanks for posting.. I had a tape of their Glasto set in my car in the 90s and must have listened to this song hundreds of times.. Louise never had the most powerful voice so it made the bit in the middle even more startling. A decade later it hasn't lost that quality. I saw them play in Birmingham with 60 ft Dolls.. very cool evening.

@StupidNutter the reason you don't get crowds like this any more is because everyone is too busy filming with their phones.

Louise has a beautiful voice. One of the finest.

[StupidNutter]

I LOVE to see a crowd jump in sync!

@StupidNutter

A crowd jumping in sync...is a skill? No, ball room dancing is a skill (which I cannot do btw)

[StupidNutter]

@LTF6161 I never said it was a matter of skill at all... it's just that modern crowds are so boring and don't dance like this anymore. It's just brilliant to watch or be part of a mass like that. I don't understand modern crowds.

[KotelShilo]

So love this music and miss it dearly. Come back.

[LTF6161]

@KotelShilo

Me too...but I think the 60s-90s was it for this kind of music...for at least a LONG while. Now and for the dull foreseeable future its mind numbing techno-pop/ rap combinations and Lady Gaga (ie a poor retro imitation of Madonna). There is decent music being performed out there, but it's not going to be mainstream for who knows how long. Ten years if were lucky, fifty if we are not

[LTF6161]

Phoebe Prince. Rest in peace.

[LTF6161]

Awesome live performance really.

[LTF6161]

Really awesome. Especially for a live performance.

[fransmytube]

i used to love sleeper when i was a teen. but christ, her voice is appalling!!!!

[LTF6161]

@fransmytube

If her voice is so bad...what kinda idiot were you for liking her in the first place? For me, she sounds just fine.

[phreakyphriday]

Wow, I forgot how shit her voice was live.

[hfu1973]

I think she's just a bit hoarse/tired here - I watched loads of Sleeper gigs in the mid-90s and she always sang brilliantly.

[SQ33K]

Great version of a great song and typical of Glastonbury 1995. Who made the TV in 2009?- Springstreen, Neil Young, Madness, Tom Jones, B O R I N G.

1995: The Summer of Britpop- yay!

2009: WALOP

[automatwinslaytracks]

Errr wasn't Prodigy there this year?

[binstig]

well if all you do is stick to the main stage then thats what you'll get. at least there is much more variety these days, britpop was too formulated and produced many overhyped generic bands.

[DJVulture]

Many a teenage year in a darkened room watching her, Yum Yum!!!

[ryanphish04]

It's been 6 months since a comment, I really dig this song. Let's here it for a song that came out 15 years ago.... !!!!!

[hfu1973]

I can't believe it's 15 years! Still awesome

[beenemotional]
