I was there! I worked at the record shop next door - a few months before I started working there, the Astoria toilets flooded and did a ton of damage to the record shop. As a peace offering (besides a hefty insurance settlement I'm sure) they let us into any show we wanted to for free, I went to every single Britpop/NME show I could get into... I was even able to see the soundcheck for this show earlier that afternoon, they were one of my favourite bands at the time so I was on cloud nine! The 90's in London, amazing days...
I am right in the middle at the front waving my arms in the air with the black watch on :D. Best single gig I have ever been too, and I have been to 100's. Rob and Jon, fucking legends. :'(
Christ, I have been looking for a recording of this gig everywhere!! I was at this one!!! Brilliant gig, brilliant band, brilliant times. I miss the 90's. Best era for tunes like this gem!!
Stonker of a track sounds mint when they played it at the Blackpool empress 2010 some friendly tour burned onto CD straight after the show. I had to have it
@@miktech71 oh, is that to get the speaker in the cabinet spinning? Sorry I'm not a musician but I think it has a spinning speaker? Thank you for your reply.
@@neilwhitaker6284Yes, that’s exactly what it’s doing. The speaker with the rotating horns (and drum) is called a Leslie. The Hammond can also activate the Leslie with a foot switch but Rob always did it his way.
@@jaynelane7772 Never said they were, but with my pedants hat on I would have to state that Tim was actually born in Salford, which is very much Manchester if you know the area! Also, a Manchester United fan, unfortunately.
@@jaynelane7772 Northwich is in Chesire! Besides their sound especially in the early days was considered "Madchester", that's who their biggest influences were at the time. If one didn't know this band but heard this performance one might assume they were a Manchester band.

I've just found this - 99% I was there too. Did the Bluetones support?
(Cool story about working in the record store)
Rob Collins = golden hands, touched by genius. My favourite Charlatans song
What a fucking tune. What a fucking great band. RIP Jon & Robxxx
I was just thinking to myself that this tune was a real Rob and John tune before reading your comment. Two very talented and much missed gents.
Best ever......so fucking awesome.
How did the drummer die I know about Collins?

I was so happy to get tix for their first San Francisco show. Rob was great as was the entire band.
And sadly missed. Absolutely love this song
Pretty certain I was there too. We're they supported the Bluetones?
Nearly 30 years ago. 😢
Best. Keyboard. Player. Ever.
Still the Best. Fucking. Keyboard player. Ever.
Unfortunately, he died in 1996.
His favourite part of the organ,the Leslie switch.
steve8869 I know lol! Must have got through some Leslie horn drive belts through time!
Think that was Dave Greenfield of the stranglers mate although Rob Collins was brill
Rob Collins fucking genius end of !!!!
Always thought Rob had a great voice as well as being a great Hammond player
Rob Collins giving it beans on backing vocals. Classic!
I have so much love for this band. The best 🎸🎵🎹🥁🎤
played this when I heard about the demise of rob Collins, so many years ago now!
Still the best there ever was...lovely lovely Rob xxx
Collins tickled those keys like no other. Would love to make a comic-book about the guy one day.
Love it! A band in top form
Rob Collins......legend.
Tune!!!!!!!!!!
Christ, I have been looking for a recording of this gig everywhere!! I was at this one!!! Brilliant gig, brilliant band, brilliant times. I miss the 90's. Best era for tunes like this gem!!
The best footage I've seen of the charlatans
Greatest B Side ever?!!
Outstanding clip. Just beautiful. The Bluetones supported if I recall correctly and was a great gig.
Ah remember Bluetones and their jangly open chords loved them too.
So bloody epic. Rob! :'(
Hammond king Rob
Great tune
I was there
Damn... miss Rob... and now Jon :/

Love this song
Much love for this band :)
woooow!!!!!!!!!!
saw them at ucla fucking brilliant
any keyboard players can you please tell me what Rob keeps doing with his left hand? Its like he is flicking a switch or something?
Switch for the Leslie cabinet

@@miktech71 that is so awesome! I'm going to watch more closely and listen. Thank you very much for explaining that.
Oasis b sides have nothing on these boys.
I’ve been saying this for the last 25 years my friend
Song OK, but great performance. As an intro to the Charlatons / Madchester, you could do a lot worse than start here!
Not from Manchester from West Midlands
@@jaynelane7772 Never said they were, but with my pedants hat on I would have to state that Tim was actually born in Salford, which is very much Manchester if you know the area! Also, a Manchester United fan, unfortunately.
@@steves1460 No I'm not man u fan I hate man u and Tim burgess was Born in Salford But Grew In Moulton Near Northwich. They are west Midlands Band.
@@jaynelane7772 I also never stated you were a Manchester United fan and I am well aware of where the band come from, as most fans are.

keyboard is too high in the mix
Donald William Rightly so in my book
