[BastardChildOfWeller]

Such an astronomically good band. Please Mavers, release the back catalogue!

[VampHammer1]

Best band ever. Simple as that.

[lasrarities]

I'm Simontologist (was my old username) ,if you want to know anything about the La's just message me!

[oneUNITED7SS]

This was on the Crescent Tapes!

[gackstacker]

my favourite live La's bootleg is the Elland rd gig fom '91. recorded from the crowd rather than the desk

[piexotv]

great song, really eerie recording - i'm addicted to it. i don't think it would work recorded in a proper studio. anyone else spotted the police riff at the end ?

[bradfordmusical]

Hi everyone. I have the full recording of that concert if anyone is interested. In return I'd love to know what the lyrics to this song are, been trying to figure them out for twenty years... :(

[lasrarities]

@bradfordmusical What is something I said, or something in your head, get out your bed and come fill a fishin net, down to the bay, on my lowly way, put out your love and come fill a fishin net

[thebandcoca]

love all his down tuning

[coeurley]

Thanks a lot guy !

I had this recording and someone stole it in my car : a terrible good taste !

[89cheapmonday]

Quite ironic as they're a Liverpudlian band!

Sorry though, I know what it's like. Bastard thieves.

[lennon205]

[craig77776]

[ruth1488]

first thing i thought..the wailers...thought it was just me ;)

[OptikC]

Absolutely perfect. That bass line and Maver's voice is chilling. I will love this band for as long as I live.

Liverpool is amazing!

[Thejbirdy]

The heart and soul of Liverpool these days...

Hell, someone had to carry the flag the rest of the way.....

JBirdy

[daveftd1983]

this song is brilliant i just wish the bands life span had been a lot longer

[doledrumms]

I just wish they done more tunes like this.alot better than the shite bands out nowadays!

[craig77776]

there are still great bands out nowadays, im not refering to the lies of the wombats but the view(minus their song same jeans) and the strokes babyshambles franz paolo nutini nd jamie t

[Thejbirdy]

A little like "Feelin'"

LOVE IT.

[ruth1488]

proper winner this

[Thejbirdy]

Absolutely, La's heaven.

I see the La's playing this number on some strange planet under the stars.

Descending notes are what makes it awesome.

[kevyrob13]

Top class!!

[ruth1488]

cant get enough of this tune!

[dannbradfc]

like everyone else ive been waiting forever for hi to do somat. last saw em in manchester in '05. Loved em the first time i saw the there she goes video on in the background whilst i was setting up to play one of my first gigs. i'm still playing in the analog bombs just wish Lee would again

[Thejbirdy]

Absolutely, what is it about Mavers that he just cranked out GEMS all the time!

[heroehat]

WOW!!!!

[bl0u634b]

Possibly my favourite la's song. Lee has such a knck for throwing out a great melody. For all the time the La's have been split up for, can you imagine the quality of a Lee Mavers album? All those years sitting at home with a guitar, still unreleased. It would be something very special. He's had a lot of time on his hands, a thousand new songs written. One Mavers album will surely blow the rooftops of the highest building. Lee...do it.

[ruth1488]

agree,its the mustard init!with you all the way mate.swansea!!

[Thejbirdy]

Lee Mavers solo album produced by Brian Eno.

THAT would be something.

[daveftd1983]

brian eno is the ultimate tosser when it comes to producers and he is only recognised because he is the only producer who could handle mavers mad side

[daveftd1983]

i didnt mean that to sound as an insult to your comment i know exactly what you mean but i would rather have it as a la's album haha

[Thejbirdy]

Yeah mate, perhaps you're right. Knowing Mavers he would rather have the album made his way anyway. Eno would just make it all "arty-farty"...hahaha.

[daveftd1983]

yeah man he is suppsed to walk about the studio with philosophical messages written on bits of card hahaha

[Thejbirdy]

Bloody boring.

There used to be a time when Eno was actually pretty cool but Im sure once they get money, they get the prestige and then they become these overblown, pompous, prats.

Long live The La's!!

JB

[zomgzx]

One of my favorite La's tunes. The bassline is perfection!

[HansIslandTV]

im not a big fan of the la's but what is it about this tune that is just so brilliant?

[ruth1488]

joyous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[Thejbirdy]

Beautifully said.

What dream are we in?

Jbirdy

[StigOHarrison]

What a top tune. It's a shame that he was on a wavelength that no one else could seem to tune into!

[ruth1488]

molly my little 4 yr old loves this,and personally requested it....how good is that!!go on moll!daddy's taste indeed,go ead kidda!

[ruth1488]

love this...they had somethin so,so special...what a shame!sheps,swansea!

[nigeminiski]

superb....... "mavers" a musical genius!!!!!

[ruth1488]

how good is this..i'd sell my family for a new la's record..tight i know,but i'd do it,no danger

[cavalrybob]

a cracking tune.

got any more of this show????

[verust]

nope.  alas that was all I found. surely someone must have it!

[SimonTologist]

I have it

[verust]

oo, really? what else was on it?

[SimonTologist]

Nothing interesting to be honest. Only other unreleased tune on it is Swashbuckler, everything else is standard set list fare (different tracklist than usual though)

[SimonTologist]

oh and its the Rennes Transmusicals festival 1990

a better one is the Futurama festival 90

[verust]

got 'em! thanks for pointing the way

[weedkanguru]

Hey !

According to the voice, I think it was on Bernard Lenoir's programme, on the radio channel "France Inter".

Great song by the way, thanks very much for putting it online !

[verust]

thanks! will be searching for more of the show now.....

[ruth1488]

fuckin love this tune..proper la's,come ead lee get it together!!
