EXCELENTE PIEZA , MAGNIFICA MUSICA , GRACIAS POR LA PREOCUPACION DE GENERAR ESTE VIDEO, QUE LES VAYA FANTASTICO
Que bien, tomarte tu valioso tiempo de especificar la lista de canciones, gracias.
So many great, great songs didn't get played. Replaced with the sonic porridge of Urban Hymns. A sad end to a once perfect band.
@@captainfeedback1 this is what I say most people own 1 verve album urban hymns and have never heard of the others.

The Verve could've ruled the musical world....and then....they imploded....at least their recorded music lives on....
My uncle was in this crowd somewhere. He was 24 at the time. He passed away 3 weeks ago in an accident aged just 48. Nobody could have ever predicted that when he was here at this concert, he was already halfway through his life.
I love you and miss you so much Uncle Martin. I hope you're having a brilliant time up there with plenty of pints and good music ❤️
omg what a shame leah... Mi ingles es un poco limitado, abrazos de corazón
I'm sure he is having tons of fun wherever he is. :')
What an experience! He lived it down for sure. I would do anything to be at this show. He's def somewhere jamming his head off to some good music. He's probably hoping you do the same. YOLO. Go and enjoy the time we have here :)
Thank you for your kind words, it means so much. 💗
@@leahevehumphries You got it! Stay positive and think your uncle is looking down on you in good spirits! Kicking it at some bad ass shows! :)
I'm seeing this for the first time in 2024. They are Unbelievable!!!! So glad this is on video for future generations. A historic and epic performance!!
No phones in the air, just hands. Perfect. Great time to be young.
It was OUR time😊❤
back when we were all interconnected with humanity....not by "smart"(dumb) phones! "I fear the day when our technology will overshadow our own human interactions...we will then have a generation of"idiots"" Albert Einstein.
You could get a basic mobile phone in 1998. But it probably cost £120
i m now just finding The Verve has depth. yr uncle got early what i missed
I’m from Wigan, and was there. To have them play that gig in a place less than 2 miles from where I grew up and lived (and still do) was one of the best moments of my life. So many memories of that night, we got slaughtered danced , sang, loved, then walked home and had a big kiss up and bbq at a friends house, great weekend.
Hey Nez ! Thanks for sharing your awesome experience.Your description is awesome. I feel like I was there too ! Have a beautiful life ! 😺😺😺😺
Fabulous shit man
Love this!
And you’ll be able to do the same this year at DW! 🎉
Love it. C'Mon xx
That outro to "Come On" is still bounding through the Universe like a gravitational wave!
Urban Hymns is one of the best albums ever
Can’t agree anymore! Love them so many years, wish I had chance to go to their concert once before I die😅
Just like the album, this comment is underrated 💪🏻
Not one of the best. It is the best.
Yes, true
@@xinliu2044 did xi jinping allowed you to listen in your communist country 😆
I wish the kids of 2023 knew what life without phones and living in the moment was like, because that is where memories are made
100%
i agree, but i recount my sister believing with her then bf that no need for cameras, cos all u need if yr mind / memory. she regrets to this day no camera.
@@user-uu9uw3sc1d cameras were invented in 1998.
A how to on opening a gig:-
1. No opening video montage.
2. No pretentious atmosphere building with unrelated music.
3. Crowd awaits.
4. Band walks on, raise fists, shout come on.
5. Crowd react.
6. Gear up.
7. Shout THIS IS MUSIC.
8. Bass and drums.
9. Smash it.
Love it, nothing more powerful!
I bet there was unrelated music played before the gig that isn't shown here. Do you really think audience were sitting in silence waiting for them to come on stage?
In the Blur vs Oasis "Battle Of Britpop" the winners are The Verve.
this concert proves just how good they were. the level that they play their masterful songs live is phenomenal.
not many bands sound this good live.
Well Oasis were the most successful of the 3 by miles so that's not true

You’re seeing a brilliant band at the absolute top of their game, playing this enormous show in their home town.
They were truly amazing.
It lasted such a short time as well. Great songs, great singer and great musicians, in particular McCabe who is extremely underrated. Really great live and not just a lack lustre performance of the recordings.
No you're not, because this isn't (The) Verve in 1993, 94 or 95.
Nick always sounded like two players at once...one of my early influences.
Bitter sweet sympathy was the Verve’s it hurts my soul when the drama went down oh so dirty and hurtful but it worked out out to our awesome Verve!! The you verve Richard! This song will be a classic FOREVER!!
One of the best Concerts in UK History.
Superb recording. Album quality, particularly the bass.
McCabe is just effortlessly cool throughout this perfomance. Just standing there with his head down, creating the most amazing sonic landscapes. This was a fabulous gig.
My favorite brit guitar player of the 90's with Graham Coxon
I love your descrption "sonic landscapes"
I love a quote from a old review of a verve gig "McCabe coaxes incredible layers of sound from his guitar while looking as excited as a man waiting for the bus" lol
@@sean8102 That's brilliant 😃
John Squire kicked it off, McCabe carried it on. Why aren't there cool, down-to-earth guitarists who are just so fucking sonic anymore?😪
McCabe is on another level, glorious.
at least he was at this show. i saw them in 98 as well, but by that time he had already left.
Made the verve for me. Irreplaceable
@@matthewmiller8048 Absolutely. He is so unique and special
@@xiaoxia5 Yea. No one but the band members and those close to them will no the full story probably. But the rocky history and multiple breakups of the verve is usually blamed on issues between Richard and Nick. I remember reading somewhere, and I think this was from Nick him self, that after one show (when they were touring for urban hymns, sometime before Nick left of course) the night ended with Nick having a broken finger and Richard a swollen nose lol. I've also read that things were not always smooth between Richard and Si either. Apparently neither Nick or Si have spoken to Richard in years.
@@sean8102 The final rift in the band became mainly between Si and Richard whilst Nick didnt really have any beef the 3rd and final time round. Nick actually rang Richard to see if he wanted to do something around the 25th year since U.H. and didnt phone him back. Nick said he spoke to Kate on the phone and had a good chat but it never got a response, but Si seemed a lot more annoyed this time around and i thought i read it was something to do with wives. Si was very annoyed at the way Richard ended it this time around because he never would say anything and then rather than speak face to face with the band about the end, he released a statement out online. From my understanding Pete also hasnt spoke to Richard since and he was his solo drummer until Verve reformed but never returned when Richard decided to go back to his solo career.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. Every album is incredible. Love the psychedelic era too…just brilliant!
The end of a magical era when bands had something to say.
I think you're just listening to the wrong bands, plenty has been said since then.
Yeah like what ric?Nothings been said since the 90s
@@johngilliam6764 I agree its a little thin on the ground out there. Modest Mouse, Idles, Neil Young amongst others and plenty of hiphop artists have lots to say. Nas , Kanye, Brother Ali
I loved The Verve but they weren’t really a band with anything to say.
@@michaelcoburn7250 I actually got to thinking about this after I replied. Indeed most Verve songs dont have much to say, love & relationships mostly, the usual song themes. Theres a few with a good message though
Can we just take a moment to also appreciate Pete, Nick and Simon? They contributed just as much. As a drummer I think Pete is very much underrated.
Oh hell yea. Nick in particular is just amazing to me. I've never heard another guitar player make the kinds of sounds he dose with his guitar during live performances. Si is a damn good bass player (and I love his excitement/enthusisasim on stage, esp at the Glastonbury concert). And Pete is a rock solid drummer. All together with Richard they formed a truly special band, such a shame they can't seem to get along (rumors always seem to suggest big problems between Nick and Richard, although I read Si hasn't spoken to Richard in a few years either).
Pete went to my high school
Nick is the Verve, without him the songs are just 3-5 chord busking tunes
@@badgasaurus4211Bit cruel but so very true xx
@@badgasaurus4211 That's why Richard's solo music is so underwhelming 85% of the time
The dude handling keyboards and samples is absolutely smashing it. Amazing creative work. Unsung hero of this band.
Right!? I love how loud Simon Tong's in the mix in this concert
One of the best gigs I have ever been to, absolutely amazing live performance. For me personally they were miles better than oasis live.
Better band than Oasis
@@spud74 No question!
@@spud74Night and day but love em both for different reasons , stoneroses were my favourite but Ashcroft vocals sets them apart from all 3 .
This band... was magic. Pure magic.
I mean, they're absolutely bang on here. His voice is amazing 🤯
I'd be honored if some 90s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by the Verve and "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins in tribute to 2 of the most iconic 90s bands. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
@@willritter40761970 is a great time. Will check that out later
Love that SP track
That guitar and bass riff in Catching the Butterfly is absolutely amazing.
❤❤❤❤
@@amneris78
❤❤❤❤❤
This is a magical gig and by the way- Nick McCabe is on a different level - my favourite guitarist of all time
Even Oasis were in awe of this band. So underrated. Im so proud to have been a part of this
I couldn't agree more, and I like Oasis a lot too.. there must be something musical in the water of Greater Manchester.
Why underrated? They where successful worldwide☝🏼
@domsta455 1:02:57 there’s a reason we’re called “greater”Manchester. Redefined the whole music genre in the 90s
What a beautiful voice!!
Two very different bands but yes Noel and Liam were really good friends with RA and considered him the true Rockstar of their era
To get your head around how how big The Verve were in the UK that time. I remembering listening to this whole concert live on BBC Radio 1. Then that night BBC TV showed most of the gig on BBC 2 like it was Match of the Day or something.
And they butchered the ending. It's only now 25 years later I know they played the full ending to Come On. 13 year old me would be pleased to finally see it.
I recorded off Radio 1 but lost the tape, still gutted 😭
This is one of the great shows in the history of live rock music.
25 years today and still the greatest gig ever ❤ Love The Verve forever
That guitar 💖 Rick Beatto if you're reading this, here's an episode for you.
Off to see Richard in 2 weeks at Tramlines in Sheffield. The greatest front man/ vocalist of our generation and beyond.
But McCabe and Jones are next level. Gonna be sad if we never get them all back together again.
Faultless band!!!!
I shouted ‘Who the fuck is Mick Jagger!?’ at this gig (cos I had a poster of Ashcroft wearing a T shirt that said this… ) and he had a go at me from the stage. Fuckin surreal and I wanted the ground to swallow me up at the time… but it’s made a good story for the last 25 years 😂
what did he say to you?
@@heyya99 something like: ‘It’s not about that, it’s about the music. This is the best night of my life, I’m not having some cunt in the crowd ruining it for me…
Not my finest moment… my mate had the recording and you could hear the crowd booing me
Man I miss the days when people went to gigs and there were no mobile phone addicts, everyone engrossed in the music
I remember being able to climb inside albums like A Northern Soul and Urban Hymns. The Internet was only just beginning to get a hold of society, so when we bought albums, we had little to distract us from getting to know them intimately.
Sad that it's almost impossible to do this these days.
I was at haigh hall for this gig, it was amazing, not a mobile phone in sight
Thank the Lord we experienced and enjoyed many gigs without mobile phones. Now it is up to us if we want to use them or not, I prefer to enjoy the show, but it gets on my nerves when people records the whole concert. :/
At least you experienced them. I did too, it’s the only way to look at it I guess.
thats still a thing at shows today it isnt a thing of the past
Il never get tired of the Verve,or Richard Ashcroft. Seen me through a few dark years of my life in addiction. Music is power!! Glasgow loves you.🏴
@Barry, hope things are getting better for you now brother.
Watched alcohol destroy my father and many of his close friends who came over from Ireland in the 60's, tragic!
They worked hard and partied harder!
The Verve's chord progressions were absolutely brilliant, and made their music that extra bit more special.
Proud to be a Wiganer watching this !!! Them were the days when music had a beat made by instruments rather than electronic noise these days…. I’m a luck man because tha drugs don’t work….
Lots of electronic keyboard in these songs.
Thousands of young kids grew up playing rock and roll in a friends basement or garage. Out of all those bands we got bands like The Verve, Oasis, Radiohead and so many others. I wish someone would have told me this era would end in the early 2000's. What an amazing time to be growing up.
The Verve's Weeping Willow is my favourite tune from this WICKED band this performance was so on point with the single version..
❤2ALL
✌🤜🏾
This kids, is how gigs should be done.
Jesus, I was only 27 yrs old , now 53....WTF. Loved The verve ❤
Soy de Argentina
y lo q los envidio no poder haber estado ahi. Tenia una novia(Maqui) que me hizo escucharlos ya eran los 2000( todo llega tarde en el Sur).hoy tengo 43 años. Hace unos cuantos años (2016)vino Richard a argentina y lo fui a ver. Mi banda preferida después de los Beatles. Son un pais con las mejores bandas de Rock. Saludos⭐⭐⭐🇦🇷
never gets old. and Ashcroft has always been a lighthouse of sorts in the darkest hour. music is power. cheers🙂
So true. He's an unlikely ray of light in a sea of dark, cynical clouds.
As I grew up listening to The Bee Gees, Alan Parsons Project, Carole King, America, Beatles, Kansas, a basic classical music collection from Deutsche Gramophon, Roberto Carlos, Vangelis, etc... and I consider myself lucky for that, Undoubtely I'd show The Verve to my children, If I had.
Was there, blusey windy... Nick had cold hands out there on a boggy Northern Sunday afternoon.. what a day out.. everybody who was anybody in Mancland was there..
This is such a brilliant, shamanic, event, this band and this guy never once stop delivering in this show
I remember driving home from a camping trip at the Lakes and my dad bought the Urban Hymns cassette and we listened to it a few times on the 2 hour+ drive home. He was born in '49 but passed on to me the Who, Stones, Small Faces etc. Funnily enough he also gave me the Verve. Ace.
Top dad 🎶
F-ing incendiary!!! Really regret never seeing this band. Phenomenal!!!
Same here man didn't discover them till after their last breakup
I spent about n hour on the phone to get my tickets for this (them were the days haha no internet).
I got to see them 3 times and they always delivered but this was another level of a gig. Everyone was just in a great mood I remember, chatted with loads of great people id never met and the buzz around the place was electrifying. Ill never forget this gig.
"History" is to this day one of the best songs ever written....
Such huge talent in this band with Si, Pete n Rich but Nick Mccabe is a pure genius (id love to see nick n Johnny Greenwood make music together)
Must not forget that Beck was incredible in support as well. Amazing night, thanks for posting this.
excelente vivencia tuviste...
excellent experience you had...
I was there 🙂 I remember the long walk back into Wigan and I slept in the bus shelter for the bus in the morning lol
Probably wouldn't want to go sleeping in the bus shelter these days Sophie but that aside you watched history in the making,so sad what has happened to the band .
A Northern Soul is one of the best albums ever made. No question...
Urban Hymns was on repeat for me for quite a few months when it came out; got me through a very difficult end to a relationship.
So glad I did see these boys live. Dysfunctional but proper brilliant.
Unbelievable. Whoever was there at this concert is so fortunate
Not a phone in sight. Beautiful.
I was at this with a few mates 19 at the time, great memories. What a gig!
98 is one of the best years in my life
Thank god I was a teenager growing up during the 90's. The music scene went through the roof and live gigs like this were legendary.
Que nostalgia de banda, cada letra,cada música tocada com a alma e o coração. Essa voz é incrível. saudações Brazil 🇧🇷
I WAS THERE... IT WAS FLAWLESS BEAUTY
Saw this on MTV back in 1998. Always loved this band.
And now we are left with Richard casting of these band mates he created so much great music with as just session musicians and releasing bontempi versions of these songs. How the mighty have fallen..
I was there best gig ever I was 18 and I've been some gigs I'm now 42 this band are on another level
I was there …
I envy you.
McCabe and Ashcroft, what a pair of incredible musicians and composers!!
Truly a shame they couldn't seem to get along.
amazing! just to think these guys were kids when they were writing such touching lyrics and making timeless music.
I was born in 94 but brought up round a lot of this music. For me, The Verve + The Charlatans are both criminally underrated bands from this era, two of the very best
Your parents music! Intoyahjacintiyah, go you Millenial
Born in 07 yet exactly same lad
WHAT A BUZZ for that Band !!!!
Love Peace and HUGE RESPECT xxx
Watched the verve in 1998 at Haigh Hall with my family from 8 years old to now. I’ve listened to many bands over the years Led Zeppelin, Oasis, The Beatles nothing hits me as much as this. May be biased as I am from Wigan but we will never know
Unbelievable songs
Pure Spirits of Rock and Roll Music
Such an incredible memory. Amazing night. I’m a Lucky Man to hold the first ticket printed to this show. #00001
As someone who is a McCabe fan in particular, just gotta say. God damn the performance of The Rolling People 21:50 is a treat. And the version of History at 1:15:44 is one of the best versions IMO, love the sound of Nick's guitar on that version.
11:11 the sound.
@@risetolife Jones on that bass sounds great :)
I've seen them play many times and I have to say that this gig was as near to perfect as you will hear. Velvet Morning and History being the stand out tracks in my opinion, with Rolling People coming in as a close third place. Amazing big sounds!!!! This was them at their peak
I was about to leave the same comment. He is legions above most guitar players in this sort of band that just play chords. Really good blues/rock guitar player
@@shaunrigby1 I'm in love with this band since 1997. This gig is amazing. My favorite song here is Sonnet. So honest and powerful!!!!
One of the best voices of Rock
🤣
Ashcroft's voice is beautiful. Passionate, real.
Not much of a range though
NOTE SINCE DECEMBER 2K23
R.A was the Lord! and The Verve, one of the most perfect band in this fuck1ng world!
cheers from Argentina!
Fantastic band, music & concert - a privilege to hear this, yet again
Richard was the only person I was in awe of back I the 90s , met him at the V festival , he was just on another planet like a shaman
yeah probably drugged out up to his ass
Cocaine is a hellova drug
V feasts were brilliant. Was there to see RPA circa 2004 and how he stayed on to listen to the crowd sing a medley of tracks instead of Oasis (who couldn’t attend).
what a set list!!!!!!!!
I was there. Impeccable vocals. I thought he was off his tree when I originally attended ..
He most probably was 😂
Was only a 16-year-old at the time and while being a massive Oasis fan didn't quite get The Verve, apart from their most famous, catchy pop singles at the time. Thank God I tried out A Storm in Heaven and Northern Soul a few years later!! Gutted to have missed them as a live band when I didn't appreciate them. Thank the Lord for UA-cam, this is just awesome, as well as many other gigs from earlier on in the 90's that are on UA-cam. Groove, lyrics, melody, guitar sounds, and humanity. Up there as one of the best English groups ever musically. Fucking love it!
I saw them support Oasis in 1997 on the Be Here Now tour - what a double bill.
TOP TIER COMMENT
I only heard and remember bittersweet symphony being really popular for a bit one summer growing up. But I was 8 at the time and live in the US. Anyway. Fast forward to me when I'm like 21 or 22. I discover the verve. Through Marley and me of all things lol. Just ended up watching that with my girlfriend at the time thankfully. As for being gutted that I know there is basically zero chance I will ever see them live in person . God I couldn't agree more man.
First album I was turned on to was A Storm in Heaven in my teen years early mid 90s. The Verve was set apart to me. I felt that they had harnessed psychedelic rock for our generation as pinkfloyd did I. The 70's. Soooo many trips with friends and the Verve playing as the soundtrack.
Wigan luky city. Love from Italy
Listen once a week minimum. Flawless.
Epic band !!! Wow 25 years flew by so fast. This album (Urban Hymns) got me through university in year 1 !!!
This is the first time I bother with The Verve live and it's a great performance. Great sounding, tight band. A masterclass by Richard Ashcroft. Rock singers take note: it is totally possible to sing with passion AND precision.
Great band hope to see them live again 👍
This was such an electrifying concert!
What a GIG !!! Thank ??#@ for MUSIC C'Mon
Love peace n huge RESPECT xxx
I was at this one. This was an incredible concert. The special guests were Beck and John Martyn!!!!
I was just looking through youtube to see if there was any footage of this concert. I was there, Beck was electric but The Verve were unworldly. Best concert I ever attended, the vibe in the crowd was stellar.
I saw this show in Düsseldorf and it was one of the best live performance in my life
Love the Verve and loved these times ❤
Doy gracias a quien se haya tomádo la molestia de haser esto tan bonito tan sacado del corazón. Agradezco con mi corazón gracias
One the Best Band of All Tmes...The Verve Greatest Epic & Eternal👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💥💥💥
Your such a blessing Richard Ashcroft your music your life ❤️🥰❤️❤️🥰🥰
OMG.....this live version of History is sooo goood.
Yea this is probably my favorite live version of it I've heard.
zenith of 90s ... you had to be there to know the vibe.. before phones arrived in late 1998. living in the moment, the last great unrecorded era..
Nick McCabe plays guitar like how most people breathe.
Through his mouth?
U breathe through your mouth, mfr?
@@deanvo503 Clearly the meaning of my comment is lost on you, so I can only assume you are one of the mouthbreathers I was referring to...
either you're dumb or you need to visit your otolaryngologist.
@@deanvo503 'Mouth-breather' has been used as an insult for a stupid person since at least 1915. The irony in this instance is not lost on me.
So lucky I was there🙌
If aliens ever do land and ask what human beings are capable of.. they should be directed to this video! Richard Ashcroft soars like he’s singing from the top of a mountain! This concert was a thing of beauty!
Great comment !
Amazing
First gig I went to see my hometown band. Wish I could do it all again.
