Inspiral Carpets - Saturn 5 - live on Tony Livesey 

Any of you read Tom Hingley's autobiography 'Carpet Burns'? It's amazing ❤ Tom is a great person, and the Inspirals were his world 30 years ago (apart from his wife and kids, obvs), and he was heartbroken about that misunderstanding on Twitter 💔 yet he conducted himself with as much dignity as he could 🕊 Although Stephen Holt was the lead singer in the first place, I started listening to the Inspirals' music from the Tom Hingley era, so I'm used to it. P.S. Moo! 🐄

Some of you seem to think this is a bad mix. There is no mix. Just a BBC soundman in the studio. The mix is in their headphones and we can't hear that.

Not the Inspiral's Without Tom.

so glad I'm playing with Tom.

That singer is murdering it

was at kendal calling.. Had really enjoyed the gig.... but .. as they went off, was really unhappy they hadn't played this.. thank god for encores....... Just such an amazing song..

es bueno volver escuchar a esta bandota!!! el MaDchesteR Vivo x Siempre!!!

tom hingley is the best..their success most with tom

Come back Tom, all is forgiven.

Brilliant 👏

Thanks for this - makes you realise just how good Tom Hingley is - saw 'em tonight, no power in his voice, no strength either. I'll not be seeing em again

keyboardsist the real gem here

If Tom Hingley ever came back I'd see them but Holt is a poor Karaoke. Hopefully I'll get to see Hingley perform solo at some point.

This singer’s turned up at the wrong gig… 😳

Doesn't matter how you dress it up, just not the Inspirals without Tom. End of!

This is just sad 😢 we need tom

So many people who know nothing about a) live music and how the environment and mix can affect a performance, and b) the history of the Carpets.

Who's that?

Gran vocalista Stephen Holt!!.. increíble banda, gran canción! Thankyou for the video..

naughty bungle at 2:44

have it laaaarge

so glad i saw this, was about to buy tickets for Wrexham show in March. Sounded great until the vocals. They were fine - it's just not the sam

if u want to see this played and sang properly u need to go see the kar-pets absolutely awesome better than the original band in my opinion going to see them again at stone roses after show not to be missed Tom's still as he was

Everything was great except the lead singer wasn’t as good as Tom Hingley. But overall, not bad at all!

No TOM, no Carpets

#getsaturn5toxmasno1

They're no marquis drive

pretty sure Tom is still alive... why are the band still going.... weird .. doest sound like mooo without Tom's vocals... time to quit maybe?

Notts Forrest Holt is never a singer no matter how much you shout and swear Tom Hingley was The In spirals front man in the glory years what's Holt doing oh let's bring Dung 4 back and I'll fuck the songs up again

This is so bad without tom

Oh god vocals are terrible where's Tom when u need him....

Sounds like a bad tribute band - epecially the vocals

What a waste of a great band singer is murdering it also singing the wrong lyrics unless he's changed that to music still tops though

When the BBC used to be good.

Terrible mix. Very interesting to see Clint playing this so easily 👍🏻

I can do it better...

If you don't like Holt, blame Hingley, simple as that. He left the band, not the other way around!

Pfff i can sing it better!!

SUENA HORRIBLE!!!

Embarrassing Vocals again and again Mr Holt you are never a singer sorry.

Shite....sorry.

Cat can sing better

Could not disagree more about the singers. Coming to the band late, with modern ears, I feel Stephen is better by miles. Tom is overbearing, obnoxious to watch, and has no nuance in his delivery. He's proud of being loud but that's all he does. I really hope to see these guys make new music again some day, even after the loss of Craig Gill.
