  • THE GUITAR by NICK MCCABE IS SO GOOD ROCK N ROLL IS WONDERFULL

    one my favorites songs THE VERVE IS FANTASTIC BAND

  • uk muisc is the best

  • I had this vid on vhs back in the late 90's, the album versions wicked but the drum change at the end makes it!, one to go down in the r'nr legacy

  • Excellent!! I was waiting for the "This is a big fuck you" ending though!! :)

  • amazing performance

  • loving this

  • i talked to god in a phonebox on my way home!!!! where the fuck did he come up with that ? whats going through his mind? top class 5 fuckin stars

  • come on : )

  • Get such an amazing high watching this!!

  • frikin awesome!! 

  • frikin awesome!!

  • pedaso de tema!

  • Best song on Urbans Hymns by a distance

  • come on!

  • Ashcroft needs to forget his mediocre solo stuff! He needs the Verve. As much as a genius songwriter that he is it still lacks the McCabe, Jones and Salisbury magic that makes Verve so special.

  • @panese i concur. McCabe is what makes Ashcroft's songs come alive

  • anyboy know were had place thar concert at detroit city? i saw richard at st. Andrews Hall few years ago.

  • anybody know, were had place that concert?

  • HE'S SENT FROM GOD...PURE FKN TALENT ...GO FUCK EM ALL RICHARD YOU FKN STAR!!!!!!!

  • i was truly vervilized watching this a true rock star

  • this is a big fank u

  • Crazy Shit!

    

  • Crazy Shit!

  • nick

  • AWESOME 

  • PERFECT

  • anybody know what tv production this was from? Did they make a tour documentary of their US tour in 97? Anyone know where to get it or what the name is? Thx

  • hi yes they did a documentary back in 1998, this was from that.

  • @skipstah70

    I have part of it on tape. At the bottom of the screen when the ads finished it was titled "The Verve". This doco was of their Urban Hymns tour, as you assumed.

  • заебись

    смотришь...и заебись

  • Comment removed

  • how mint!

  • much love for Detroit, and the Verve

  • this song is AMAZING!!! The perfect end of my favourite album. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!

  • McCabe is the best!

  • simply the best

  • @addicknchips1

    my words exactly

  • Better than the studio recording..f****ing incredible..!!!

  • Should have been playing massive arenas.

  • Magico

  • THIS IS A BIT!H  F... YOU!!!

  • Quelle puissance! Le morceau le plus teigneux de The Verve. Et ce final!

  • Unrepeatable!!

  • This is the best song on Urban Hymns by a country mile - they struck it rich with this album in terms of broader appeal, but this song is so reminiscent of their earlier stuff which is what I'll always remember them for.

  • @atomicozz I saw the Verve twice, first in Dublin August 97 and then in Belfast December 07. The gig in Dublin is the greatest show I have ever seen. The whole band were on fire that night. By the time it over my jaw was on the floor, I was speehless. The gig 10 years later was almost as good. Its shit that they cant work it out, but thats what happens sometimes. We still have the records. A Northern Soul is one of the greatest records of all time. But then again all their records are brilliant.

  • this is sublime, as are The Verve

  • Hey Author, are you removing comments cos they are slagging this performance? I ain't read those you've removed, but I must say I've been doing covers for years and I haven't even bothered going near McCabe on this form, he's unreal. Muse, Radiohead, Metallica, Oasis etc. no problem, Coldplay is an insult. The Verve are untouchable in modern terms.

  • dead right. noone can play like mccabe. hes in his own galaxy

  • the only song on Urban Hymns worth a carrot...

  • please keep together, don't split up! They are gifted and talented.

  • That's so great ****

  • if we're comparing bands, I'm not going to hate on Coldplay, they are a lot cooler than their "fans".

    Radiohead has such a complex-driven crowd and they're way too depressed for me. I can't buy they're "I'm a rock star woe is me" act.. Esp. if they're tickets cost $1000+ at places like Outlands during a subprime crisis. :0/

    ??? C'mon Yorke.

    I just like the Verve, Killers and Muse better. i think the quality of a band is related directly to how much their fans are enjoying the show.

  • " i think the quality of a band is related directly to how much their fans are enjoying the show. " thumbs up !!!

    i totally agree and if anyone cant see kyuss is the best band ever therefor i will start comparing bands to show u why you are wrong !!!

    :P

  • kyuss are awesome as are verve. neither is better!!

  • agreed !

  • Comment removed

  • One of my fave songs, really can't decide which I like better...the studio Version on Urban Hymns or this ! Both are fucking APOCALYPTIC !!! absolutely awesome !! the energy is never ending and infectious, feel like I can do anything when I hear both !! :)

  • Simon played the intro to gravity grave just before they started this song. When the crowd responded Richard said they couldn't play GG because they didn't have the proper effect. (The echoplex? ha.) Personally I think it was because they wanted to film this song as the closer in Detroit. Fantastic show...as was St Andy's '93.

  • I was there - best show of my life.

  • lucky bastard

  • Cool man !! Wish I could have been !!

  • I call the doctor so he can relive my pain !!! great song, great voice, great music, great ASHCROFT and THE VERVE, that s the sound ... COME ON

  • The Verve are one of the greats. If for nothing else, just on the basis that they can play a song live, and make it sound as good (if not better), full and rich as it does on a studio recording. I mean, this is note for note perfect.

  • they sound better live than they do in a studio. The manufactured music scene does them no justice, the Verve is a real rock band.

  • I was at that show at St. Andrews hall in the mid nineties. Downtown Detroit baby.

  • wanna hit something?? then listen this song!!

  • Mhmm

  • ...OH MY F***ING GOD...

  • epic! love it!

  • I was at this - it was about twice as long! Unreal!!

  • Epic song =D

  • What a great song and a great version...this is the link between Urban Hymns and their earlier stuff.

  • this is music

  • if you are sad, down, feeling drepessed, just listen ti this song, the louder the better, its only one life

    dont forget liam g. is also in vocals in this song, album version....

  • fuck yeah!!

  • Fucking great song, one of the best Verve songs in my opinion. Anyone know where to get a mp3 version of this song live?

  • I must be feeling low

    I talked to god in a phonebox on my way home

    I told you my answer

    I left you my dreams on your answer machine lord

  • the most underrated track of that amazing disc

  • aHHHHHHH eu amo essa música!

  • For me is the same..this song is the better thing when i'm demotivated or sad

  • Best version of best song ever !!!! :) FUCK YEAH !!! :)

  • This is a big

    Fuck you!(*゚∀゚)!!

  • I agree that they play huge sounding music, and that they deserve bigger venues over here. But I wouldn't say that stadiums are the best places for any band. I've seen lots of shows in arenas, clubs, and outdoors and if the venue ever detracted from the experience it was in the stadiums. I haven't seen the Verve though... Haven't hooked around to venues near me since they reunited...

  • Why would you want to see a band at 30 feet away at the closest in a stadium when you can catch their sweat in a club!?

    Great bands are also deafeningly loud in clubs. Which is how it should be.

  • let the spirit insidi you

  • One of the Led Zeppelin-esque songs ive ever heard. Nice.

  • ashcrofts fuckin amazin!!!!

  • fooking? what is this fooking you speak of? It is not American so I dont know.

    Stadium rock er....yeah(metal fingers in the air!).

  • i don't know about you but i would much rather see them in a dingy bar than a stadium

  • dingy pub? St. Andrews Hall. Fuck stadiums. No music should be played in a stadium. This place holds 1000. And the way Nick McCabe's guitar rolled of the stage like lava was otherwordly. I was there I know.,

  • I had this documentary on VHS. Been trying to find it on DVD.

    Mc Cabe kicks arse on axe! Verve are just awesome live!

  • Comment removed

  • the verve are my life but i fuckin hated this documentary. the performances should have been shot normally. the interviews should have been normal interviews and they should have interviewed every band member thoroughly.

  • Comment removed

  • @vannyfresh then the verve are obviously not your life

  • I dont want to spam or something but if you go to theverveonline com you can see the whole us tour "documentary" on one side which redirects back to youtube videos but anyways. Just wanted to let you know.

  • tong is holding is an ibanez?

    i dont really know...

    the more that i see it the more i admire nick's god given talent

    thanks for that feeling nick

  • i love this guy

  • God,its awesome!

  • best ever

  • thanks for this awesome

  • This song is amazing already but this video is even better. Great upload. The Verve are the greatest band of all time.

  • The verve were the greatest band on the planet. im sad theyve reformed as its destroyed a part of thye myth for me,

    Mcabes sonic assaults and Ashcrofts

    soaring vocals were the business.I

    remember watching the whole of this

    live performance in 98 and its stayed

    with me ever since.

  • that cunt McCabe has got to be one of the greatest guitarists of all time

  • the filming of this video is brilliant,not to mention the magic of the music. thank you for sharing this.

  • this is possibly the best thing ever captured on camera

  • Obecnie jestem udupcony - jest mi przyjemnie.

  • Check out 'The Eloquents' on MySpace

  • Most awesome Live performance ever ! Can't decide which version I prefer the Urbans hymns version or this live one ! when the drumming starts at 4:00 I just fucking LOSE IT !!! ha ha !!! So AWESOME !!! the verve forever !!!!

  • Wot a tune this is! Wasn't a fan of ashcroft's solo stuff, he had a good few songs but the Verve are just unbelievable, they have one bad song imo! Cant wait for the new album

  • Just seen them at t in the park! What a band! I've seen some great bands, oasis, coldplay, K.O.L, the killers and many many more and they are by far the best band I've seen! Get it fucking ben you!

  • that is shit hot

  • this band walks all over oasis with talent! oasis are shite !

  • They are, aren't they? I can't believe Oasis became the prominent band they were in the 90's, through being a Stone Roses-clone.

  • hey hey, my my

    (good) rock n' roll never dies

  • never met no one who denies our sound!!! THE best video on youtube! Cheers!

  • Fuckin awesome...that's all that needs to be said

  • I'm a huge Verve fan, and I've been researching some facts/rumours about em. Can anyone verify/deny this:

    On the album Urban Hymns, at the end of the song "Come On", both Richard Ashcroft AND Liam Gallagher are screaming "This is a big, FUCK YOU!" Now, I fucking loooove this song, and I've always assumed it was just Richard.

    If you Google "Richard & Liam" you'll see a picture of em, in studio together. Obviously they're pals and they work together.

    But is this rumour true?

    -Cheers!

  • Round about 1995 i think oasis supported the verve on an american tour, before they were that famous. They had nights out, sessions etc etc. Rumours that they trashed a hotel and got chucked out were in a book i read. Fu** knows if its true.

  • @wopman1010 its true that liam sang on this

  • The clowns that go on sh*t like Idol and claim they're talented and that they've given their lives to music make me want to puke.

    Richard, Pete, Nick and the 2 Simons are 5 of the most natural born musicians you will ever find and every last breath they breathe will be because of music.

    Songs like this are proof of this.

  • best comment i have read thus far on youtube.

  • Amazing song.Come on!!!!!!!!!

  • Great f**king video and sound quality! Thank you for posting!!! Just saw them at Coachella and they are completely AMAZING. One of the best bands in existence no doubt.

  • they are back together ya douche! cant wait to see them in toronto May 1st I GOT FLOORS!!!!

  • you got it!!!!!!! amen

  • Wiganite legends, this tune is both amazing and inspirational, gone are the bands like these with real passion, soul and meaning.

  • Dios !!no me creo que los vaya a ver este verano!!!

  • Coachella is lame for hosting the Verve, it's too bloody expensive and too bloody hot!

  • I think that if Richard didn't hold the SPIRIT inside HIM at 1:52 the universe would have collapsed into a wormhole emitting nothing but a cosmic dimensional eviscerating evanescent jet of iridescent spark petals.....

  • Dios !!no me creo que los vaya a ver este verano!!!

  • Dios !!no me creo que los vaya a ver este verano!!!

  • Dios !!no me creo que los vaya a ver este verano!!!

  • Dios !!no me creo que los vaya a ver este verano!!!

  • I can't stop to hear this live version

    "it is the top" yeahhh

    long life to the verve

  • the sing is an fakyu

  • Verve are brilliant and have too many outstanding live performances,this one being one of them!

  • one of the best songs ever

  • fucking awesome !!!

  • As far as I'm concerned there's only one good song on Urban Hymns & this is it - cost me £11.99 but worth every penny.

  • You said it. I said it.

  • The Verve, Radiohead, Bluetones, Travis, Richard Ashcroft, Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene, they are all just superb and inspirational!

    Cant wait for the new material! Verve were for me, the original: first album I ever bought was Urban Hyms :D

  • radiohead are overrated and coldplay sucks shit, the verve is the better, i said it

  • I agree!

  • Todos ustedes parecen tontos.

    !!!

    coldplay, radiohead y the verve son bandas hermanas...

    son ingual de buenas...una con mas trayectoria con otra...pero con el mismo potencial y siendo el mismo genero...el britpop!!

    no hablemos mal de nuestras buenas bandas!!! todas son lo mejor!

  • woah richard looks fucked up man way to go rich

  • Personally I fell "Radiohead" and "The Verve", are fucking brilliant, why does matter which one is better?

  • fucking coldplay don't come near the verve lol

  • No!

    Coldplay and the verve are the fucking best bands in this world!

    Verve also is peacefuly rock...

    ok..the verve = drugs... but is a great band too...

    They are the same Gnere...BRITROCK men!.... are the best... fuck the emo,s or regeton or another fucking shit music.. don fuck the britrock... :D

  • peaceful rock ??

    its limp wristed , radiohead wannabe dirge.. one big musical YAWN !!

    the verve ARE DRUGS ! no chemicals required for the audience to lose it.

  • Radiohead wannabes? You absolute cock! I've not laughed so hard in years. I mean everyone is welcome to their opinion but the Verve have released music since 1991. Radiohead were still contemplating their pointless middle class existence back then. Much like now, but without the shit music.

  • He was calling Coldplay "Radiohead Wannabes" not The Verve. LOL
