Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song (Live on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky) 

That Jim Davison's got a great voice tbf

Steve Cradock is an absolute wizard on the guitar.

Bring back the 90's

At the risk of sounding like someone saying, 'water is wet', Steve Craddock is a fantastic guitarist!

OCS - what a band, major part of my life growing up, smoking weed, driving my 1.1 Fiesta and flares and adidas!

Simon has never lost an ounce of his voice - still sounds class 25 years later

A masterclass in performance. Craddocks guitar arrangement is ridiculously good.

Ocean Colour Scene… wow! A beat literally not missed after 25 years! Amazing 👌🏾

A true real British band sooo underrated bring back music please!xxx

TFI Friday coming full circle here.

Have lovely memories of this tune. This song drove the Mod revival in the early 90s. Awesome Band🎉

In 2016 they did some dates playing the whole Moseley Shoals album for its 20th anniversary. That's one of my biggest "why didn't you just get tickets and go you weapon" regret moments music-wise. 😥

Why is there no music made originally played acoustically that sounds as good as this oh my God what an era to live in

You are still the absolute bollox....age will never make these tunes "past it".... Classics are and will always be just that......Thank you all so much

Saw them play the Irish Centre in Birmingham back in the day. Fantastic gig and also the loudest one i’ve been to. 🙂

That was incredible, as always! A major highlight of TFI every week for me, that's saying something!

I love Oscar Harrison's drumming

Amazing love it!

Man we are all getting Auld but Feck me we are all Awesome

My musical heroes doing it right! 🙌❤🎸🎵🎶 Thanks for posting this Virgin Radio!!

Just fantastic. Big shout out to Evans too. he helped put my favourite band on the map. love you always guys. Thanks for the memories. x x x x x

Chris Evens at Virgin. Thank you. You keep bringing the goods. And this song... Amazing memories made even better.

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

Classic choone and a great version!

Great little acoustic version. Nice vocals and Steve is always faultless. Top stuff 👍🏻

Brilliant.

Seen ocean last night smashed it put on a great show 👏 an Steve craddock nailed every riff an solo never missed a beat great band great songs 🎵

Goddamn. Raw. Bloody awesome. Thank you for sharing.

Lived in Spain early 2000's saw them twice at outdoor gigs so good. Should of been much bigger

Great tune💙✌

Steve lent me a couple of his guitars to record with years ago when we rehearsed in the same studio in Kings Heath, Birmingham. One was a 12 string Rickenbacker, sounded like god but played like a dog, and the other was the acoustic he’s playing here or one very similar. Astounding guitar - played itself. Nice guy and a great guitarist. Simon, on the other hand, suggested I call my then new band Big Bollocks. I didn’t.

Fantastic

This is beautiful. Amazing 👏 🙀

Great man

A quintessential British band I have seen more than once

Great song

This is wicked

Still fantastic 👌

Class lads 😎

Ive only just found out this exists.. brilliant stuff

The years have been very kind

Pure gallas man👌

Top clapping an all. 😊

The one we all came here for

Can't wait for brum gig

Man that voice just gets better with age. 👌👌👌

Local heroes still marchin'

Fantastic and criminally underrated band

Custic riber owt..loving wellers band ere

Calling out too all the TFI Friday heads out there, where are ye?

Brums finest 🍻

wow, that was fooooookin amazing. mind blowing stuff , one of my forgotten favourite bands ever, are they back ?????? cos if they are I wanna see them, the singer his voice is so strong but he looks un recognizable amazing .

A classic tune we are the mods

It’s brilliant, I do wonder why after all these years Simon has to look at the lyrics

🤘✌

Must be a nice throw back for Chris too - wasn't this what guests walked out to on TFI Friday? Or..... has teen and young adult life in the 90's..... ahem...... ☺ completely fuc☆Ed my brain and memory? 😂 😂 😂

.. a very underrated band

Why does he read the words of a song he wrote? And has played since 1996?

Ricky from Eastenders has put on a bit of timber but can belt out a good tune.

Simon le Bon's let himself go But seriously, Huckleberry Grove is one of my lifetime favourite songs 👍 cheers lads.

Who knew Mike brewer from wheeler dealers could belt out a tune

At first glance, I thought that was Jim Davidson on vocals 😂

Out of all the bands during britpop ocean colour scene was truly underrated top band

One of the best songs of that era, if not the best. Simon, certainly ate all the pies though. He was a handsome younger fella.

He drank another rum and coke, then told a dirty joke. I wonder what would have happened had he told the same dirty joke in 2022.

Can't he remember the words? Why the screen?

Les Dennis is great on guitar

proper 90's Mod band ...........

Nice Bongos.

How come he’s reading the lyrics? Surely he knows this one?

love this version & great band but .. is the lead singer on something or had a few 🍺 looks outta it to me ? u'd think after 20 odd years he'd not need to look at the songsheet to know the words 🤔

Isn’t Simon on wheeler dealers

Taken from a song by Yes

Same old choooonz

The drugs have fooked our Simon......

Rather than focus on Simon being taken hostage by later years Elvis body, how come Oscar looks EXACTLY the same??

Poor Simon seems to be in trouble

Dam Simon has got a bit late Elvis.. since i saw him live 7 years ago... hope he looks after himself need OCS ( still sounds amazin btw)

Poor guy. That's what alcohol does for you.

Advert advert advert advert advert advert ffs advert advert

Some awful comments about the lead singer's appearance/weight. Can't we all just enjoy the performance?

Fuckinell life has not been kind

i see pies. Up ahead I ate em all and now my neck's about the same size as my head.

Likes a pie or two!

One of those bands in the background in the 90’s. Average as hell but a bit nostalgia is good.

Booze coke and Es

Same old MOR dogs doings... like Chris Evans ... so 25 years ago...it's so out of date ..the river is running red mate cause the audience have done the wrists ...so.boring

Pieboat Song.

Who ate all the pies then??

Porky Colour Scene

Fucking hell let this song retire zzzzzz

Horrendous!

Fuck me ,not literally Simon... he's got giant ain't he? Big giant lump of iron 😉🙃
