The Verve - History Haigh Hall 24.05.98

[emanicstreetpreacher]

I love the album version with the strings. But I love this version even more. Nick McCabe is better than any orchestra.

[mellowNdark]

Better live than the actual album version me thinks!

[poada2008]

I was there that night(coke ravaged albeit), one of the greatest nights of my life apart from the Cab firms of wigan that remain to this day one of my most hated....no..i got to stop there..it was a great night. It was immense..There are no words...

[arwinb]

old songs of the verve are unbeatable...

although i think sit and wonder comes prettyy near!

history is defenitely one of my faves

[mhoverthere]

Almost ten years to the day, they played this again at Glastonbury...was so moving to hear exactly the same intro after so long...awesome band.

[jembodawg]

great recording, but the volume was really low. oh well

[mhoverthere]

Well turn the volume up then :P

[hobbsy]

2 months til the 10-year anniversary of this seminal gig. Would be a perfect time to release a DVD :)

[pembo18]

what does seminal mean? i keep hearing it lately

[ChrisLFCfan]

[ChrisLFCfan]

Wish is was on dcd pure magic.The Verve really hit the right emotions deep down.Ashcroft writes trully great sonics.
