[jostme]

fantastic..had the privilege of seeing this group perform once live, wish they were still around

[izigrashka]

I remember buying the wishville limited edition CD, but not losing it after only a few days of listening..! :/ I tried to buy it online on amazon but a decade ago none of my friends had credit cards or were afraid of.. the internet :D btw. I think sb stole it.

[jerryfalwellsociety]

East Anglia's finest.

[Dimondcruz]

i like it  band they have nice style

[ebraygun]

Only band in the world I can honestly say, every single f'ing track they made was brutally amazing. That is what made them special.

[Magiale]

This was what got me into Geneva. Great band that should have gone Further than it did...same with Catherine Wheel...I've had this recording forever, it's nice to see it in video form.

[denizm75]

Rob Dickinson and Andrew Montgomery singing together??? I think I just had an eargasm....

<3 <3 <3

[nbwatki]

From the greatest album of all-time.

[astromass]

wow, nice. i think about this song often..amazing footage....amazing that you could actually smoke cigarettes at concerts....

[ciano417]

fantastic version....shiver.....

[gubis007]

Rob, My band played with you downtown in Houston. I would have forced myself onstage to sing the backups for this one. Beautiful song. Keep going, Jamie - Toy Subs

[hockeyteeth]

i first heard catherine wheel freshman year 1990, i drove 3 hours to see them when they played in barrie ontario, one of the best bands i have ever witnessed thanks for posting.

[canadiandrummerboy]

every time i hear this guy i am amazed ----where are all the big producers? I've heard so much shit out there that gets millions of viewings on this site and then this gets mere thousands and everyone raves ---someone is missing somerhing with this guy---again simply awesome talent.

[3sheets]

Awesome. Brings back many memories. Thanks for posting!

[digmacdiggydoo]

We need a CW live DVD with all the songs

[Buff99ca]

AMEN. A DVD of CW live would be awesome. The only thing better is seeing them reunited and live in concert

[Keast100]

I loved this band's first album (Ferment) but felt they never really emulated this in their latter efforts. That said, this is absolutely amazing. Thanks for posting

[moorlock2003]

But why should they? Who wants to buy the same CD over and over? I like bands that evolve. EVERY Catherine Wheel release is worth picking up. Some fans didn't like "Wishville", their last, very much, but if you go back to it, there are some fantastic tracks on there, like "Ballad of a Running Man", which deserves repeat playings. "Mad Dog" should have been the lead single.

[TanzDerSchatten]

I'll second that. I find every Catherine Wheel album different and engaging, and their break-up is one of the biggest wastes in rock music.

[moorlock2003]

Yes. The breakup was heartbreaking to me, as I had just become a fan and was into collecting their music and saw the band 3 times during their last hurrah. It didn't make any sense for them to break up. The band kept their fan base all along, and to throw it away in favor of Rob solo was a letdown. I dig him, but let's face it, bands are ALWAYS preferable to solo acts.

[TanzDerSchatten]

I think they broke up due to frustration. The albums were not promoted well, and internal problems came up (i.e. the loss of Dave Hawes).  After "Wishville" was panned, I think they got fed up. A Rob solo act, which really didn't start until 3-4 years later, is a good sign after all that. I'm like you, though; I discovered them and bought all their albums and then they broke up soon after. Very disappointing.

[moorlock2003]

"Wishville" could have made more of an impact if "Mad Dog" had been the single chosen to go to radio instead of "Sparks Are Gonna Fly". The second single was "Gasoline" but it too was ignored.

[moorlock2003]

I saw Rob in Long Beach, CA, for a record store appearance. I talked to him a bit and suggested another "Like Cats and Dogs" type of collection of CW rarities, but he didn't seem too enthused. I guess he's trying to put the band behind him but can he really?

[TanzDerSchatten]

I'm hopeful that he's not putting the band completely behind him. He does play CW songs along with his solo stuff, and two of the songs on his album feature Futter and Sims.

[Buff99ca]

I'm the exact opposite. Was never a big fan of Ferment, but love Chrome, Cats & Dogs and a huge fan of Adam & Eve

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Brilliant, gorgeous, touching... can't begin to explain. Loved it dug it... will continue to do so!

[TheShadyOne]

You said it!

[LeonardAndNickFan]

Well how honored I feel! Your responding to my little comment and all. Thanks for that! And, seriously seriously thanks for the vid!!!
