At more than 43 I’ve loads of bands I love and have done for years but these remain a firm favourite and to this day the best band ive (n)ever seen live
44 here. I met them in a restaurant before a show in 2006 ish in Petaluma California and they were very nice as well. Happy to meet a fan, even at a meal... my Dad gave me bring it on and abandoned shopping trolley my senior year in high-school after he didn't get into them... it's a little weird when your Dad's cast off CDs become your favorite band that no one else has ever heard ofit is amazing how much their stage show evolved after this! Definitely top 5 live bands I have ever seen and that is saying something... I don't have many bucketlist bands left and I have seen Gomez at least 5 times😂🥂
Tijuana lady absolute belting tune. Got into these when first came out and saw them live at Sheffield and it’s one of best gigs I’ve been to. Incredible live act. Threw Michael Jackson samples in and all sorts. How good is Bens voice!!?
This was the first performance I saw the first time I went to Glastonbury. In fact it was the first festival I'd ever been to - what a great start, eh?!
Absolutely super band. Love gomez and have done since i was 18 yeras old. I couldnt wait for Bring it on to be released and they have never disappointed from then on.
1st song is called Free To Run. Brilliant live band in their day, always tight as hell. Shame they all thought they were solo artists. After Brit Pop died these were the only guys worth listening to.
I heard their music years after they were popular but had no idea what they looked like. Couldn’t believe they were British! Argued a hole thru an iron pot they had to be Americans 😂 I kept hearing pearl jam in the lead singers voice!
I thought they were american until this week. having a renewed gomez moment after listening to them on loop in 2003. Had no idea they were british. Such a bluesey sound x
Oh my this was totally next level being in the audience hearing them live!!! Sounds flat as owt on here but the gose pimples n feeling being there was undiscribable I never ever head of them before then. I was near the front n I miraculously found all my mates I had lost was epic day . I just came on here to find that song that gave best feeling so thanks Gomes epic times the 90's early 2000
I'll never forget the first time I saw them live. I was lost for words. Absolutely one of the best bands I've ever seen and I've seen more than your Dad.
Yeah man. This was the first time I saw them live. Magic set on a magic night. Then saw Kula Shaker on the same stage straight after Gomez. One of the best lines ever, 99...
I didn't really know Gomez much, but I've seen Tom Gray discussing his Broken Record campaign recently so I thought I'd check them out, great music, nice grooves, good songs, musicianship, vocals cheered me up no end. Thanks for posting it.
F*ck RU-vid and there f*cking adverts ruining the ambience of a good set. 🙄 *I'm sure that bit of harmonica between Tijuana Lady and Whippin' Picadilly is a nod to the harmonica in the opening credits beach scene in 'Jaws'.
They were a special band. Their songs have a magic I can't explain. Would have been nice to see them evolve into all sorts of places, musically. They just faded away?
The problem with Gomez(for me),is that they are a much better sounding live band as opposed to the studio. I'm not sure if it's necessarily over production but something is lost in translation from the stage to the studio. There is a raw energy,an urgency behind the music that they have yet to capture in the studio......my humble opinion.
In our gun live is awesome to watch live, the whole pantomime of a half minute wait while they get the bass on and let rip is completely lost on the album. Fucking good shit btw.
