when the crowd started singing Dry the Rain, it made me shed a tear. its beautiful how people come together to sing their favourite songs. Unity for all! thank you Beta Band :)
I saw Steve Mason in Montreal a few weeks ago. A tiny tiny venue with a capacity of 120. Utterly brilliant performance even on a tiny stage with one other musician. I got a photo with him after the show. A real honour. I never saw the Beta Band live and this was the first time seeing Steve live. He is a real musical genius. An utter superstar. 😍😎
The Beta Band is hands down one if not the most UNDERRATED rock band of our time...they are just incredible.....How is Radiohead super famous and these guys not get even half the attention especially here in the USA. Way ahead of their time I guess!
Thank you for saying this, yeah I totally agree with you, not many could get there head around their music which broke rules and barriers, what a band. Saw them in Brighton just after they bought out The Beta Band album and they started with It's not too beautiful, still remember the excitement when all you heard in the darkness was that opening riff. Sorry I've rambled but thanks again
It will bro! I can't watch Dry The Rain when everyone sings at Shepherd Bush, I embarrassed myself in front of the kids last time, talk about emotional. Still, that the beauty of Music eh.
One fine day in 1999 I had a great Saturday out in London when I went to see Pavement at The Astoria, and earlier that afternoon the Beta Band filming a video at a nearby venue. Kept having to duck out of the way of a camera swinging full spectrum from the ceiling on a cable, mad Scottish herberts. Had the tastiest ever veggie sausage rolls ever after the Pavement gig. Terror Twighlight tour. This video is tops, great sound 🎯
Spot on Assesssment there @SecondLifeAround! Hands down the best band of the last 20 years, especially live but also always innovating out the back door on record. And this is such a great live recording! I saw this band about six times at festivals and on tour over the years. I’m gonna play this out tomorrow on the lockdown streaming jukebox I set up for my mates.

Beta Band has always been underrated but truly loved globally.

The most underrated band of all time.
I went to both of these final London nights. Goosebumps thinking about it - unreal! They were something else.
Re watching in 2020. Still amazing. I was there, the white shirt and tie night, double drummer at 21:42 blew my mind.
Still watching, in 2022.
So glad I got to see them.
Amazing. Dry the Rain. Need I say more.

Dig Dug thank you brother for sharing such an awesome experience. The Beta Band's music will always rock and live on!

At last, a valid use of the word 'underrated'.
Both are huge bands and i Tell you Radiohead is famous but not superfamous like coldplay, muse , pearl jam ... etc
Wonderful
This band was so awesome
Yep I was there too.Tragedy no longer together
Best band ever.
Can anyone reunite this band please
Best band I have ever seen hands down
Loudest
Oy, just love this band.
The live version of Assesment is phenomenal. That is my jam!
It’s a F’n Anthem mate..
Ok, Pops 👴
I was there. Nuff said. Legendary IMHO. Never has there been a better groove.

Actually, 30 years, I suppose. This must be all mixed and EQ’d live off the desk and mixed with the crowd/room sound. Mint!
I still remember my utter excitement when Mason got onto the second drumkit that night.
22:10 love that reference to California Soul by Marlena Shaw
2021..still heart broken
Beta Band Forever!
Again, nice one for the upload!
No problem, this one is a lot better quality and not lettterboxed, which I hate.
Слушаю с 90х годов и, до сих пор музон актуален. Из России с любовью 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Who??
Piss-all likes c'mon! This is my Covid lockdown mantra 'I will be alright', I will be alright, I will be alright'.
WOW!!! Just fantastic!
Absolutely amazing, thank you for uploading
Fife for life!
Thanks for the upload might have to review this on my channel👍🔥
amazing
Nice sound
WOW
Yes
Boss 🖤
See them at the old Hammersmith Palais.
✨🦆
what on earth are they using that triple rectifier for
It’s a guitar amp.. so for that I guess.?
Amazing! A quick poll: what does the chorus of Assessment says? Sometimes I feel I'm o......? I still don't know
I always thought it was "Sometimes I feel a love there, baby" but I guess it's "Sometimes I feel, I'm washed up under" according to lyrics websites.
Wut ?
Is there a better quality version ?
You ruined my eardrums. Ah well. Boss.
Thanks for upload , any chance of full gig ?📽👍
This was off of a DVD set. All that came on it. You'd have to contact the band to see if they have any thing.
Ont dirait du Haukwind
Amazing. Dry the Rain. Need I say more.
