I was always a Mary Chain man myself but that performance was one of the most f**king wonderful things I've ever seen. It's a tragedy that those guys weren't MASSIVE. And U2 still sell out stadiums.. Criminal.

@sh0169 They formed in Camberwell in '85... I shared a squat briefly w the bass player Chris. One of their first gigs was in Dicky Dirts (a squatted old jean warehouse-may've been an old cinema in it's day ???) in Camberwell. They had an old generator that was so loud it almost drowned them out. That was a crap gig ; )

@BahmanG My then friend was the bass player in this band and my other friend (female) went out w Lawrence from Felt : )

I remember this song for its guitar driven licks and the hauntingly beautiful vocals but it's the bass run that stands out in this video. A beautiful sound. Thanks for posting this. Too bad THOL didn't stay together longer. I love their music.

The House of Love were really great, but don't forget The Jesus and Mary Chain! :)

@Cocrteau3 I take it you never heard the Bunnymen then?



Fantastic! The greatest English band of the 80s was not the Smiths nor the New Order nor the Felt but the House of Love!
