Dark Star - I Am The Sun - Jools Holland 

I remember hearing this when I was 15 and thinking that I was going to achieve so much by the time I was the age Jesus was when he got nailed. Now I am that age, I'm still listening to this song, and haven't really achieved anything, but this song rocks!

Why this band wasn’t huge I’ll never know! Wow, what an intense performance. ❤

Spoke to Bic Hayes last night. He was performing with ZOFF in Worthing. A nice chap, softly spoken, guitar hero of mine since his days in CARDIACS. He still aces it!

20/20 sound is the best lost album

Best band Ive ever seen live!

they were so good. i was blown away when i first heard this track

I saw these play live in Liverpool years ago. They were brilliant.

Oh for those brilliant 90s guitar bands. Still playing this album and its still fresh. Thanks for uploading wish there was more.

This reminds me of driving to Glastonbury around 99. I think this was released on a Melody Maker compilation around that time. I still have it somewhere. Oh..nostalgia...

I was 17 when this came out, and the line “Jesus was my age when he got nailed” has bizarrely stuck in my mind ever since. I worked with a guy who had something of a messiah complex and was very apprehensive about turning 33.

The last great band of the 20th Century.

Wonderful, love the energy of Dark Star, thanks for sharing.

Bic Hayes: such a cutie 😍. Dark Star: great music 🤩

Loved watching Dark Star live miss em!

The best one note solo ever, and an amazing song from a band that split up way too soon.

Weird how Muse caught on but these guys didn't. Great sound, super talented noise makers.

awesome band

AMAZING!!💜

Absolute killer band ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is Just Brilliant!! Cheers for putting it on..I really needed to see this again... Great!!

Tremendo lo que tocaban estos pibes!!! Bestias

These should have been ....massive!!

I saw this lot live around this time but for the life of me cannot remember who they were supporting... Anyone? It was not the Bluetones

Amazing

I've watched this old Later compilation - something like "Later Rocks" or "Later Louder". How this wasn't on it I don't know! Saw them live at Leeds Festival - they were amazing!

Was at gigs of this band. Several great tunes. Might have this on video somewhere

Who was the drummer for these!? He was mega

there you go...... placebo heard this band ....definetily

Underrated.

very nice

dark star were levitation minus terry bickers though weren't they?

great guitar play

Nice one mate, i originally had both tracks up together before i lost my old account here. I Am The Sun / About 3am (Later 7.5.99)

@wysedragonfly i saw both those glastonbury sets too, amazing! new songs on the other stage which we never got to hear again :(

Brilliant band! How come they didn't make it?

Early muse😆I saw them live support bluetones once

Are Dark Star still together.?? Are they still making albums.??

Brilliant band

I might have this on video somewhere

Dark Star came out of Levitation. I saw Levitation years ago supporting The Cardiacs. Classic stuff. yep, execs, labels, new groups etc. it happens.

jesus was my age, when he got nailed.....say no more

Dark Star I Am the Sun? I thought that he said he was of the night.

Should have been bigger than Muse...

When the show was good

ahh me too. Still not bad considering I've never heard this band before.

THE FUCK Never heard them before. Hey now.

hehe, me to

Wat, is this Porcupine Tree? (Well, Porcupine Tree came later, but whatever)

Repetitive minimal twang, posher punk. I miss this from the late nineties.

this guy so totally started lesbian haircuts

i dont want to sound old but maintream music really has got boring.

like Jared

Horrible drum sound
