The band were so tight so early on you can tell they'd been rehearsing non stop since 91 and that's why they were so fucking good live. Liam's voice is mental here
Glad I found this, went to this gig on the back of seeing them on the word. I know, Whiteout co toured them, but can anyone confirm that The Longpigs was the support that night. Still have my ticket stub, t-shirt and vague memories of this gig. Although listening to this brings it all back
Agreed. For some reason the common consensus is that his prime was late 95 - mid 97. But I believe it's 94 for his ability to *sing* songs in their entirety, including falsetto in Live Forever, Columbia and Up in the Sky, and not overdoing the "ahhh" and "eeyeer" noise after every last word (almost to point of parodying himself). If anything listening to, and reading the description of, all these live recordings is that Liam was a little up and down throughout, he had good and bad days and their are positive and negatives about his change in voice between 94 - 97.
@@ZakynthosDiamandis 100%. 1995 has the advantage of having Liam being more on top of his voice when he uses raw power like Slide Away and Some Might Say. But in 1994 his voice sounds so strain-free and he sounds awesome on songs that need high notes to sound good like Live Forever and Cigarettes & Alcohol.
@@ZakynthosDiamandis This period is the best until after the tramway gig, then you have problems starting because he’s transitioning into what you hear in 1995. I’d say the peak is late 94-96 maine road only because it is was his best period with the sound that he’s famous for. And 95 has the best studio vocals and I’d say his pitch and delivery was better. Shame about the technique but it is what it is.
Yes! The only known time they played this one in front of a live audience. Though there could be other shows during this period that has it waiting to be uncovered!
