I remember sitting in McDonalds in Brixton after this gig and I couldn't hear a thing - my ears were ringing for days. I thought I'd never hear properly again. Not that it wasn't worth it, Drive Blind is one of the best songs live I've ever heard. Unfortunately YouTube just doesn't do it justice.
@pudwhap actually andy and mark get along quite well. so maybe one day ride will reform. andy certainly has the money to put behind it now more than ever.
can we shoot everyone at MTV and take back the airwaves? just kidding of course. But seriouslly.. I hope China knocked their satellite out of orbit and into the drink if they don't get rid of that fag fake urban ghetto shit and put back on some great rock bands. I picture angus young busting into a britney video and chasing them all off with an axe while proclaiming victory and planting a flag pole in britneys mouth or foot or something dar Long Live Rock n Roll.. Die Urban Posers!!!!!
I saw these guys at an old venue in Sydney that no longer exists (Phoenician club) in 1992. The crowd literally screamed for the whole gig. Now I have never experienced that kind of reaction before or since with any other band either in Aus or O/S. They should reform god dammit!
omfg! best ride song ever (cept mabey for vapour trail) I can play this on repeat on my pod for ages and not get sick of it. woha the 90's just comes rushing back
@mancun1a lol, i doubt he is crying over being a millionaire my friend. as much as i love ride... liam and noel made andy the first shoegaze millionaire.
flippin' brill man! never seen this band!! maybe one day.. great great shoegaze tune from ride. very dreamy but with hard grungey guitar's mixed within . 9/10
This is freakin' great! I think I'll buy their CD. Btw few live performances sound this good and clear, usually bands of this genre just go nuts and scream some nonsense into the mike.
Ride were positively one of the very best live indie bands! I was lucky enough to see their first couple of tours in LA and the sonic orgy is unforgettable, like being a pineapple chunk stuck in a Jello mold! Up there with Spiritualized and Brian Jonestown Massacre as best live experience, better (well almost) than sex!!
I saw Ride live about 4 or 5 times in 1991-1992, and although this version is good, their live version always had a sonic-noise wave freak-out bit at the end which really kicked ass and drove the crowd nuts. Kinda like My Bloody Valentine's freak-out in "You Made Me Realise." This version does not have it obviously, which is a bummer.
Someone should go to the Creation records headquarters, and plead for them to release the Brixton show on dvd. And by plead I naturally mean find a record label executive and collapse on the floor with your arms around his ankles repeating "please...could you release that old ride tape on dvd? it would be a good idea... you gotta, c'mon, pretty please?" Do this until he's so disgruntled that he agrees to do it, just so you'll go away.
