well you either got it or you aint! Mavers has it by the bucket load!!!!!! you won't see a better performance of this song anywhere in the world! mavers, come back! it's been long enough!!!!
Pretty sure I see a huge grin on Lee's face as the audience cheers him at the beginning. He is so into this performance! Interacting with the fans too.
Just watched this for the first time a few minutes ago (well I thought I did) Looks like I commented on it 14 years ago, amazing what being clean for nearly three years does to you.
An acoustic and still sounds amazing. I felt the energy on my phone can't imagine what it was like being there. All the oasis comments I'm kind of glad in a way the la's never made it MEGA in terms of commercial status because it was about songs and real passion and not behaving like pop stars. Oasis had songs then let them go for pop stardom same with the roses or more laziness with them. THE LA'S WERE THE REAL DEAL GROUND IN GRIT. DOESN'T MATTER ABOUT DOING ONE ALBUM PERFORMANCES LIKE THAT WILL HAVE PEOPLE COMING BACK FOR MORE.
Holy shit! Just stumbled across this, what a way to start a Wednesday. Easily the best version live or otherwise I’ve ever heard outside The Who. You must nail the bass solo and John does effortlessly. The shit.
I wish they had come to the U.S. on this world tour. I'd give anything to hear Lee Mavers or the La's play. That just knocks me out and I'm not even much of a Who fan. What an incredible talent. I know some American travelled to the UK in 2005 and again in 2011 to see them. In 2011 everything was sold out before I even heard about their gigs.
Yeah, read all his interviews. They booked him at some decent venues but also some real dumps in ugly locations with few people. There's good people/culture here & plastic, just like everywhere else. Not enough records sold here either. He was in a foul mood a lot by then, still managed to have some fun. He has good taste liking Canada, "a good outlook on life."
How tight are the band doing this cover? Most bands can sound together when they do their own songs but just Wow. You could kid a lot of young people that this is the original and the Who covered it.
That´s the only live version of this song that really captures the vibe of the original studio track... at least to my ears... and it´s not the Who!!!! Unbelievable!!!!!!
....damn...that’s John Lennon’s rasp and the raw energy and attitude is early Beatles ....playing the Who!!!! The irony here is the Las strongly didn’t like being compared to the Beatles and Oasis wanted to be the Beatles....sorry Noel and co....this is how you do it....and as a Who fan I admit this blows away the Who live version!!!!!! And Jasper hits the skills and attitude of the Greatest Moon...
Smash your guitar, Lee, smash your guitar! Actually, perhaps the best cover I have heard of this. The Who performing My Generation at Monterrey Pop in 1967 is still the Gold Standard performance, but this is very good.
there is a vid about cast going down to john entwhistles' house no doubt spending time in the pub in his house getting pissed snorting flake and jammin and getting the bass lines from the Ox's mouth!
Such a shame the quality of recording of this ins't high quality...Mavers is ripping the fuck out of the song...that strumming at the end..the crowd pumped him up and he was giving it pure lee of old...so good. Some how , we never quite to witness the true brilliance of this man
The record company that pissed off Mavers robbed us of THE group that was destined to become the greatest rock group of the 90s and god alone knows what they would have created.....I can only imagine.... there is so much of the Nirvana not interested in fame attitude that defines Rock. The fact Mavers walked away says it all
It's a Who song. The Oasis mention is a piss.. I know you know this and it's been three years since your post, but ... had to chime it from the future.
Wow, you mean you can do this without protools, click tracks, and auto tune? It’s called heart, it’s called bollocks, it’s called 10,000 hours of learning your craft. Like I always tell the youngsters, you gotta write “Fun Fun Fun” before you write “God Only Knows”. You can take that to the bank holiday.
Lol so many people bitter about Oasis in the comments. Give them both their due. This version is the best but Liam absolutely crushes the vocals on the Oasis cover.
lee!! news flash! your gifted! you have an amazing set of pipes and you write songs that normal people could only dream of!!!! principals are one thing but there are other ways of selling, recording and making new music!!! you just have to find them, not doherty for fuck sake!!!!!
