Haigh Hall Wigan 1998. Excellent, rare and unique performance of the songs ''Neon Wilderness'' and ''Weeping Willow'' Excelente, rara y única performance de las canciones ''Neon Wilderness'' y ''Weeping Willow''
Guitarists from the 90's knew how to use effects ,delays , reverbs to make this huge wall of sound , The Edge , John Squire, Andy Bell from Ride , Mcabe is a whole other level
They must have grown up listening to Robin Guthrie! Neon wilderness was one of my faves on UH. It sounded like all the weird delayed guitar in my head!
You gotta love McCabe. I would give anything to have a jam with this guy. One of my biggest inspirations to play guitar. Imo he is right up there with Knopfler, Gilmour and Frusciante. But he is so fucking underrated, he never gets a mention. Even Steve Rothery from Marillion is more popular. I just wish that these guys could go back and work on some stuff again. Just like they did in the old days. Their chemistry is unbeaten to this day, speaking for any genre. The dynamics.. They go from dropping a needle to rocking the everest within seconds. Just unbelievable. I always enjoy how clear they devided the channels, creating an atmosphere that is out of this world. Just listen to their studio records and notice the different plateaus they've created for every instrument, for every sound. It is just breathtaking, that's what it is. The Verve forever and forever the Verve.
Henry Mick Totally agree, he's criminally underrated. Although here I actually feel sorry for Simon Tong; Nick's guitar is so loud you can't hear a single note or chord he plays,
Weeping Willow is one of my favorite songs of all time and for some reason this concert looks so special. What an experience is must have been to be there. Unreal
McCabe's guitar in the climax gives me chills. If they had continued after Urban Hymns I have to wonder if he'd be mentioned in the same vein as Greenwood and Frusciante for his sonic expressiveness.
Man, Nick McCabe is such a great guitarist!!! Hope Verve will make new music again soon! They'd rule the world! Too much talent, not to create more amazing music together.
The two most underrated guitarists in Rock and Roll. Nick McCabe. And William Reid (Jesus and Mary Chain). McCabe is other worldly. Where do those sounds come from. Landscapes. Haunting. Massive. I can never find the right words to describe this brilliant musician's guitar playing. Perhaps the words don't exist. He needs to be experienced not described. William Reid often uses his guitar like a weapon. He threatens with it. His guitar is never in a good mood. The results come out of the stacks with all the aggression of a war. Two of the greatest Rock and Roll guitarists in the game. They don't sound like anyone else. And nobody sounds like them.
Ashcroft(as talented as he is) just didn’t realize how lucky he was. To have a guitarist like McCabe and a bass player like Jones… shame it all went to waste
Yeah, and it really is a pain to think about. Ah well, at least we’re left with gems like these. I know it’s silly but sometimes I imagine they stayed together and are still making mad music in some corner of the cosmos.
The best video available on RU-vid in my opinion. Wipping willow is my favorite song from so many I've know from so many musicians from different countries I've listened to. I know it sounds silly but ain't no such a person good enough nowadays for me to talk to. Yeah, definitely superb.
In 1993 the Verve were picked as the first band on the Vernon Yard label, a newly-created American affiliate of British giant Virgin Records. Their full-length debut, recorded in Cornwall, was A Storm in Heaven, released that same year on Hut in England and Vernon Yard in the United States.
apart from the original Smashing Pumpkins, the Verve are the one band I wish I'd got to see live... ah well, I had a good run of gigs as a younger man and can't have it all! But if they ever do get the band back together I'll be there with bells on.
The Combination of Nick's Magical Guitar Riffs and Richard's Enchantinh Voice is Simply Amazing... I wish the would come to South America to see them LIVE
*Weeping Willow The Verve When morning breaks We hide our eyes and our love's aching Nothing's strange It was in our hands from 6 to 10 It slipped right out again There'll be no better time There'll be no better way There'll be no better day to save me Save me Yeah, save me I hope you see like I see I hope you see what I see I hope you feel like I feel And the world don't stop There is no time for cracking up Believe me friend 'Cause when freedom comes I'll be long gone You know it has to end There'll be no better time There'll be no better way There'll be no better day to save me Save me Yeah, save me Yeah, save me I hope..*
