  • best live version of sonnet

  • Dreaming about the day when i can see you there... My side

  • 4:05 & I think to my self..."this song will live forever..."

  • I was lucky enough to be there, the lads were just on it that night. For my money the best band in the world at that time, Haigh Hall was their last performance together I would say. Two weeks later Nick walked out and everything since then has been a pale imitation.

  • @mabalsaritchy

    They played V fest in 2008 after they reunited . that was there last ever gig on uk soil ...man it was pissing down with rain but i stood there for the whole gig singing every song word for word nearly cried when they played bittersweet at the end ....1 of the best British bands ever and in my opion ascroft is such a underated singer/songwriter its almost criminal !! FUCK N'DUBZ AND ALL THE MANUFACTURED SHITE WE ALL GET PUSHED DOWN OUR THROATS TODAY

  • JUST TOO MUCH NOT TO CONSIDER REUNITING. NO ONE WILL EVER SOUND THIS WAY AGAIN EXCEPT YOU!

  • godlike

  • heaven:)

  • Just

    the best .... 

  • the great gig in the sky!!.

  • Don't fallin tear, please if you can.

  • poesia grandi

  • Everyone thought that this was a mad choice for me as a Wedding song and its nice to see that it means so much to so many, "eyes open wide, looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye"..........

  • I know Richard as a dad just as cool now as then !

  • amazing

  • Urban Hymms was the perfect tonic for the morning after Brit-pop.!

  • All you guys speaking ill of the dead, your comments want burying.  You're a disgrace. Verve forever.

  • this song is a top song and played at me brothers funeral in 2000 wen he sadly passed away to a drugs overdose every time a listern to it always brings back the great times we had together respect till the end bro sadely missed

  • @themainman239 sorry to hear about that. coincidence is that i just heard (moments ago) that a very dear friend of mine did the same exact thing. got on the youtube and wanted to hear this song a couple of times to remember her. we used to listen to it all the time together. RIP

  • I was 7 years old when I was at this concert. Still epic.

  • Best album ever!!

  • Ashcroft is a legend.

  • @MJLady51 CUDNT OF PUT IT BETTER ME SELF M8

  • This is just a class apart. It shows up the current shit state of the music industry these days; the fucking bloated cocking-sucking Fearn Cotton-infested fucking wart that breeds talentless fucking drones and millions of 'dancers'.

    This is it, this is what music should be about. Passionate. Pride. Soulful. The may it was meant to be, this brings a fucking tear to my eye and sends shiver down my spine everytime I watch it.

    Magnificent.

  • Happy Birthday andrewf2 :)

  • nice version

  • i was 34 in 99' when someone left this cd in my car.

    I've been an obsessed fan ever since.

  • lol really? :D

  • when i was 20 i thought i'd be young forever!

    time won't stand still for you, when young people start calling you old you'll see what i mean.

  • sucka im only 8

  • i was 8 once, chump!

    pretty soon you'll be 18, then after a long hangover you'll be 28.

    After working overtime and 12 hour days, you'll look up and realize your 40. keep us posted if you find a fountain of youth, and just remember cocaine aint it.

    it may feel like it.

  • dude i already had a hangover and lost my virginity so suck it

  • i really liked the way u jist said that mate

  • Haha, you absolute bellend.

  • couldny agree more

  • Why can't you see

    That nature has its way of warning me

    Eyes open wide

    Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye

  • was there best gig ever:)

  • & all becouse the guitar sound....

  • nothing changes wot an amazing song

  • long live the verve :)

  • RIchard Ashcroft is a genius!!!

  • amazing stuff !

  • Effortlessly beautiful and perfect

  • Anyone got Space and Time, Bittersweet and Life's an Ocean from this gig? Heard the audio and they're pretty excellent too.

  • I'm from Toronto, Canada...yes, fuck Nickleback!

  • I'm on the east coast of Canada...we need bands like The Verve, Morrissey and The Manics up in Canada. Fuck Nickleback.

  • yes there's love if you want it my love---no one should say this unless they mean it

  • i love this song and it tells a story that ive lived...so its just extra special to me of course. love the verve....english bands have always been my faves over american ones any day. im american, but it doesnt matter...grew up on floyd and zep and never looked back really.

  • America had its fair share of exellent grunge bands before the verve, oasis etc popped up though.......... nirvana, alice in chains,pearl jam, soundgarden, blind melon, screaming trees the list goes on......all these bands had soul.

  • yeah kurt cobain had so much soul he shot himself..nice try

  • amazing :)

    love it

  • Is fucking great!!! Never tired of verve and their lyrics

    Dreaming about the day when I can see you there
