I was lucky enough to be at this show - incredible stuff. Lou was really drunk, this was the biggest crowd they had played in front of and he was nervous as hell apparently. What an amazing lineup that weekend too, especially the Sunday (Jesus Lizard, Helmet, Rollins Band, Therapy? Chili Peppers).
LOL. After listening to the back and forth between Lou and Evan Dando's episodes of 24 question party people and Lou admitting that Reading 94 was probably the most fucked up he's ever been, I search it and find "Lou smashes guitars"
I was there and it seemed like Lou was having a breakdown during the show. Watching it back, he can’t even tune his guitar properly, so maybe he was just bombed. What no-one has mentioned, and I remember at the time, is that Courtney Love kept coming on stage.
I was at this, other side of the stage to the camera. It was a fucking shambles, they were headlining (or maybe 2nd on the bill) and were flavour of the month in the music press, there was a real buzz around them and this was the best they could manage. Self-indulgent bollocks.
Love the Pavement interpolation at 16:30 ('Conduit for Sale')
0:00 - 1:20 2 years, 2 days
1:52 - 4:43 really insane
5:27 - 11:05 jamming and lou's self-hate speech
11:29 - 14:10 beauty of the ride
14:36 - 16:22 happily divided
17:07 - 19:23 magnet's coil
19:43 - 22:13 careful
23:11 - 26:10 not too amused
26:37 - 29:44 soulmate
30:43 - 31:57 sing something
32:06 - 35:03 on fire
35:35 - 38:11 the freed pig
39:00 - 41:08 drama mine

Courtney Love @ 20:00
Wow! What is she doing there?
What did she say to him? I don't think it was good and he may have departed due to her talking to him.
what's the song tho?
I was there .
@@Al1987ac She had a band called Hole, and they played at Reading Festival '94
set list?
What colour is that jazzmaster??
Coventrydoh
Is this the show Lou’s parents were at?
What did she say to him?
She just kissed his cheek
shoulda been at home READING a book rather than been at the READING FESTIVAL.
