I remember this show. It was on in 1990 I think. Slowdive, Chaperhouse, 5.30 and the Manics closing with Motorcycle Emptiness and Motown Junk. Can't remember who else was on it. What was it called? This is still the best version of this song. It's even more beautiful than the album version.
I recorded this back in '91 but bloody VHS cut off the end. Thanks for bringing back those glorious days as a 17 year old. Bloody perfect - Layered guitars, Rachel, everything!
Behold my friends Shoegazing in it's finest form ! After Madchester arrived MBV,Ride,Slowdive,Catherine Wheel.The brilliant sound of 3 or 4 guitars playing all at the same time.
Still not as good as the House of Love though,Love in a Car from 1987 fucking class !
I have been hunting for a copy of this video for nearly 20 years. Literally. After seeing it I immediately fell inl ove with 1. this song, 2. rachel Goswell, 3. Slowdive. Truly magical. Thank you so much.
slowdive where my favorite band! i met them at brum and coventry the whole band were fantastic. and gave us free beers, tickets and stuff! its not a understatement to say i still have a huuuge crush on rachel. only sigur ros come close though the lead singers not quite as cute.
Classic posting - like others had this on video from 1991 when I was 16 and which featured from memory Moose, Teenage Fanclub, 5-30 ( legends ) and Chapterhouse and probably other too. Pretty sure the guy snogging the indie bird is the main guy from Chapterhouse.
WOW - sublime 'cathedral of sound' haha. and she's so beautiful too that Rachel. not seen this for a while, my older bro had it on tape too. GOOD WORK POSTING THIS UP!

Can you please tell me the name of this show that features this clip? This is an utterly soul-shattering version of an already timeless song....

I believe it was called "The Beat". As you saw, the presenter was Gary Crowley.
