Yes, McCabe was undoubtedly a fantastic guitarist. Yes, Ashcroft had a great voice and wrote great lyrics. But listen to that rhythm section on this? OOF! Really tight, really powerful and very groovy. They wouldn't have been the same band without those 2 lads.

They werent even a part of the scene other than the 'hit' song. But they lifted the game and made everyone better. Ashcroft is a uniquely gifted singer songwriter that comes once in a life. Mccabe is so underrated its laughable. Such is life.

This is absolutely stunning. Why didn't the Verve get the attention they deserve in the US? There is unbelieveable intelligence, complexity, and skill in this band. Maybe it takes a more sophisticated musical appreciation taste to understand how great this performance is. Twitter, Facebook, blog them, or whatever .... this is head and shoulders above the music we are spoon feed by the music industry. This is one american who repents for not giving the Verve they attention they deserve.

fruitycolax When Be Here Now came out in August it got poor reviews pretty much across the board and was seen as a big anti climax after the build up. Then when Urban Hymns came out in September, it blew everyone away, and the Verve were seen as the number one band in Britain all the way through until they split in summer '98. When they played Haigh Hall in Wigan in May '98, that was like their version of Oasis at Knebworth or the Roses at Spike Island.

“Nick McCabe coaxed gorgeous, shimmering wodges of sound from his instrument while exuding all the enthusiasm of a man waiting for a bus." That’s a quote from a reviewer who attended a Verve gig in the US in 1993. The quote was intended as a criticism that Nick was visually uninteresting to watch on stage. But I love the quote all the same because it describes Nick’s playing style to a T. On stage, he’s visually understated, but his sound is anything but.

@henrymick96484 жыл бұрын
Yes indeed, and it's always at this point into the performance, where I as a guitarist myself, burst out in laughter out of sheer astonishment about this pure brilliancy these guys and especially McCabe delivered here. To be able to play with sounds like that, flawless, in a constant stream of emotion, going for the kill everytime, without any fear, pushing himself further out with every note he plays. You'd think "well, he's a damn risky player, he's gotta make some mistakes from time to time", but nah, he just nails every sound he's going for. I mean, just to be able to think of that 'purr'.. The cherry on top of the icing, on top of an already super delicous masterpiece of a dessert. It's freaking ridicouless, it is to me the pinnacle of what you can archieve as a musician, not just as a guitarist. No one comes even close to that level of soundscaping.
