I went to this! Think this was the opening song from the gig I think?? Beck was on just before too! Great day! Crazy crowd that day, well up for it! Gutted i never took any photos.Damn! Thanks for posting this!
I remember recording this on video tape on MTV live @ the 10 Spot...or whatever it was called- I saw them in concert shortly after that in Pontiac, MI...it was awesome!
I lived about 3 miles from haigh hall at the time of the gig, it took us ages to get there.. it was an amazing day... and I was treated to an extra does when I got home the gig was on bbc2 (i think it was on around 11pm that night). I still have this on VHS somewhere.... amazin thanks for the memories
Isnt it awesome how many good comments the Verve get on all these vids. not too many bad comments.....because they are the greatest band of now ....xoxoxoxoxoxoxoverve
Nick is a guitar God. I read that he never acknoweledges the audience much because, as he said,"I'm so busy on stage there is no time." Nick is awesome!!!
Well its 10 years since they released Urban Hymns and I'm hoping like all Verve fans for a special anniversary release which would feature the whole of this gig on DVD plus maybe some bonus stuff like interviews and demos of the tracks on the album. Let's hope it happens
i was only 4 years old! FUCKING WRONG ERA
