This is peak 90's Britain. TFI Friday belting out band after band. So many had real success with just one album (other albums would sell, but only really to fans), but it was the kind of album that would go into your all time collection. These with Mosely Shoals, Glow from Reef, I Should Coco from Supergrass, Suede from Suede, Different Class from Pulp. Added to the continued success of Oasis, Blur, The Prodigy, Jamiiroquai amongst others and it was such a great time to be entering the adult world and defining yourself! Such great memories!
The first time I ever heard OCS was when they were a support act for Oasis at Maine Road. They were so good I bought their album Moseley Shoals the next day. Yeah the 90's were amazing for music.
@@gavinjohnson7725 I saw reef at their hometown show in glasto, a few years back some people sung that at them. Apparently they used to hate it now they find it hilarious.
I was 18 years old in 1997, and working in a West London record shop. Whilst I was mostly into metal, and still am, obviously I was surrounded by this music. It felt then like peak 90s, and with retrospect I can be sure about that. 1997 was the last great year for popular culture in my opinion.
In 1997 I was a 33 year old ex Mod with a mortgage and two young kids, I'd stopped listening to the radio stations that played current music because they all played Rap and I hate Rap. I worked with a young lad who lived a couple of streets away, we talked about music a lot, he was into this new local Mod band called Ocean Colour Scene and as we both liked a smoke he came around with their album Moseley Shoals, we had a very agreeable evening and I've been a fan of OCS ever since. That Guitarist is Steve Cardock, he now records with a man we Brits call The Modfather, Paul Weller formerly of one of the greatest bands ever, The Jam.
Putting music on like this keeps you the best reactors out there. And yes the 90's were an incredible time for music in Britain. In December 97 I was in Bosnia snowed in during the winter missing out on this...
My kid bro was jabbed up to go to Belize with 3 Commando Brigade - last minute he was sent to Bosnia, staying in a heated tent cos he was Signals...came back and went to N.Iraq...lol
Wow memories of being 17, finishing 6th form coming home, watching TFI, then heading out into Blackpool for a night out. The mid to late 90s were an amazing time.
Tickets booked to watch ocean colour scene in May. Steve Craddock is THE guitar hero of that period. The live acoustic stuff they did on Chris Evans show recently is unbelievable.
you just beat me to it , i have had to sell my tickets ,my mother quite ill , hopefully another time , for 46 quid at the Barras , one the best place to ever go ,it always feels , sounds & very personal
My first ever gig was OCS at the Barrowlands in 1996 🙈 Was absolutely ‘blown away’ 😉 Seen them do an acoustic set a few years ago in Fife, it was amazing. Enjoy tonight, I’m totally jealous!
I'll have a beer for u both and best wishes to your mum mate, hope she gets better. Lastly the barrowlands is just so special, always have an amazing night in there. Must be over 10 times I've seen OCS and quite a number of them has been at the barrowlands
@@gmc1873A it was was going to be my first time to see them live , as a chef its abit hard ,but have been for other bands , mainly heavy metal , but i do love most music , and a big THANK YOU for that my freind ,im fae S.W.Scotland , wish to you and yours ,have a great Christmas , a fantastic HOGMANAY & a fan dabbie dozzie 2022
@@Robbyred_220 They are, pity they didn't release many albums. I think I have 4. Mosely Shoals and Marching Already, along with the b-side album, B rides and seasides, are the pick in my opinion.
TFI Friday was the last of the true live TV shows. You should watch Shaun Ryder's interview with Chris Evans on this show😎👍 Stay safe out there people 😘✌️
Going to watch OCS on 23rd December. Taking my son to his first gig. I went to watch these in 1999 with my dad, I must be approaching double figures now. Amazing live band
1997...I was 37 years old, living in Central London, had two sons, 18 and 15, loving life and enjoying all that the capital had to offer...thanks for reminding me I'm old...lol
This band is also Paul wellers band ocs let him use the band when he's on tour. You should check out ocs with liam n noel doing day tripper or a cover of the jams carnation one of my favourite liam vocals live. Brit pop bands did an album of jam covers called fire and skill noel does a great rendition of to be someone.
Steve Craddock is one of the best guitarists around. Its no wonder Paul Weller has him as his lead guitar. Anyway, for a change of pace, check out Ocean Colour Scene's Foxy's Folk Faced, Robin Hood or I Wanna Stay Alive With You
1997 - I was 44, in my second marriage and I watched T.F.I.Friday a LOT... but I missed this. Thanks for letting catch up on something I had missed... I knew I love the band but I have never seen them play live..
A belter!! One of my favorite tunes! I'm like a broken record I know but Stereophonics live will blow you away. So many great performances to choose from too
They were one of the bands who were rediscovering the blues rock/heavy rock sounds of British bands from the early 1970s like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Jeff Beck. On the 23 year cycle of revivals, that would mean in 1997 reaching back to 1974. Ocean Colour Scene = Blues Scene. Kula Shaker was another band at the same time doing the same thing, a bit more obviously, covering Deep Purple's Hush as well as recording their own songs.
'1997' I'd have been 18. Always finished work early on a Friday in my first job as a sign maker. I would have been in my m8's house with this on when it aired, blasting it out & getting ready to hit the pub. Where we would then blast this out again on the jukebox, & stand putting our cash in the fruit machine all night while getting wasted. Simpler times... That was our bang average Fridays tho. I can't tell you about wild Fridays, that would be against the law.
Around 97 I saw OCS in Shepton Mallet Showground which is like a cattle shed, me and my mates were dressed in parkas’s and train driver hats, got the bus from Bath as far as we could and then hit he’d a ride the rest of the way, lots of smokin going on, great times!
This tv show (TFI Friday) brings back so many memories,it used to be on early Friday evening,so you would have it blasting out while you were getting ready for a night on the town
Ocean Colour Scene are my favourite band outstanding n versatile going too watch them live tonight at the best small venue in the world The Barrowlands in Glasgow buzzing see them again
Late 90s Friday night; finishing work at 5pm, grabbing some food, watching TFI Friday, going out for a night on the town, getting back in the early hours to watch recordings of The Fast Show, Shooting Stars and Game On. Great days.
I was talking to someone in a bar once about 90's music in Britain and they likened it to one of those books where you choose what happens next by selecting what happens to the characters and turning to the next page.... so a band pops up on radio or tv etc and they have a great song and or album then some people carry on following that band and actively finding out where they play or when another album us coming out and some just get swept along by what the radio plays and jump on to the newest sound of the month! All of a sudden 3 years later an artist or band pops back up into the mainstream with a hit song or album and you're like "jesus... where the hell did these guys go?" ... anyway the point is that there was so much choice back then and we were so spoilt, many many many years later we could still be discovering hidden gems we missed even though we were there! Madness Awesome song by OCS and they have too many to name... take your pick and you won't be disappointed 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm going to see them on the 23rd in Manchester, Victoria warehouse. One of my favourite underrated bands. Their acoustic stuff is really good too. I was doing ecstasy, going to the latter stages of the raves and going to gigs in 97. I'd of been 22.
In 1997 I got married (still married!) - went to Wembley to finally see Chelsea FC win a major trophy for the first since 1971 & saw this band perform live! Brilliant band. Also saw Paul Weller live with the bassist & lead gitaurist from OCS playing for Weller! So many memories
Fire and Skill is what Paul Weller had written on his guitar amplifiers. Steve Craddock regularly played with Weller so I’m guessing that’s why OCS had it on theirs. There is a good album of The Jam cover versions called Fire and Skill you could look into featuring Liam Gallagher with Steve Craddock, Noel Gallagher, Gene, Garbage and others.
I was raving😃 Greetings from a happy survivor in northern England. . Glad you appreciate our blasting music which aall evolved from our brethren un the US❤🔥
I remember watching it on TV while eating my tea. I was also trying to pretend to my mum, I wasn't absolutely high as a kite and that I had actually been to school that day.🤣 weirdly I'm going to watch them next Monday in Camden London.
TFI Friday was a tea time show (6pm). it was very much on the edge of cutting music. so many bands debuted on that show, that went on to become big names in the UK. you should check out Shaun Ryder's interview on the show, it is funny as "F".
1997 - what a time to be alive, Britain was insane this year, britpop was kicking off and TV was happy to showcase them, - I was 17 and have seen OCS many times and still sounds amazing today
I was 15 when I first heard this and remember recording it off of the Radio 1(Mark and Lard)because it was lush! Oscar(drums)and Damon(bass)were my favourite rhythm sectionisties back then and this song still gives me those satisfying music shivers, so thank you!
Love love love the 90’s Britain was just n fire then, the country was buzzin loved it, same time my mom being diagnosed term big C, so many ups to many downs 😎😢
Amazing band seen them 3 times the kast time was about 6 months ago top band you fellas should come to UK as these ocean colour scene still tour and still should unbelievable
In 97 I was 16/17 and would regularly enjoy TFI Friday - doubt think isaw this performance at the time mind you, but I yeah, great time for live music on the telly and music in the UK in general - some massive albums came out that year - Prodigy Fat of the Land, the Verve with Urban Hymns come to mind. So yeah, good times. Was the Adam and Joe Show 1997ish after TFI?? There's probably something they're to react to as well.
In 1997 I travelled to the States to coach football (soccer) in Ohio. 21yrs old and full of music that I was sharing to the lucky kids of Kent State and Columbus. 1990 through 1998 were my golden music years for the UK
What was I doin' in '97? Getting high that's what. The 90s were fuckin' brilliant in the UK, from The Stone Roses and techno/house to the Brit Pop scene. Such a good decade!
OCS are back out touring again at the moment. Couple of my mates went to see them last night and said they were as good as ever. My personal favourites are Travellers Tune and the one you played, Hundred Mile High City. The mid to late 90s in Britain were just incredible. I was in my early teens and just loved it all. Pulp, Oasis, Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Cast, OCS, Shed 7....I could go on all night.
In 97, and this came on, it was a Friday tea time. After this finished I would have "went to see a man about a drug". Then, meet up with the boys, head into Glasgow and join the cue for "Pressure " at a club called "The Arches", one of Europe's best dance nights to see a world class techno night. Drop one in the que. 6 hours later, drowned in sweat, gurning like a monkey we were out. Back to a mates for chill out. Home about 10am. That was the best days of my life.
Did that follow on from Slam with Stuart and Orde? I'm sure that was the club we used to go to and on Saturday we would head to the Tunnel with a spot of afternoon shopping at 23rd Precinct Records and Cruise, the Warehouse or Ichi Ni San for the glad rags!
@@karmannghiaman1041 It was indeed bro, if I remember correctly they used to play at Pressure on the Friday then the Sub Club on a Saturday, for a while. You were a Tunnel goer aye? Used to go there early on in my dancing career but I preferred the messy Arches nights. For me it was a visit to Dr. Jives for a Stussy tshirt that would be wrecked by the end of the night. That and yer new trainers lol. 23rd Precinct! Not thought about that place in years. Great memories!
@@stewrmo yeah, we used to drive up from Berkshire (my gf of the time was Scottish) so it took six or seven hours so Friday was less likely than the Saturday. The Tunnel had the best toilets I've ever seen in a nightclub! If we were still in Glasgow on the Sunday we'd go to the Sub Club which was like an acid jazz, rare groove night from memory.
@@karmannghiaman1041 The things we do for love! 7hrs tho! Yeah, the waterfall bogs were cool, although first time in you wonder if you should piss there! Great nights in Glasgow in that time, destroyed by the council. I think my 1st pill was in the "Sally Gunnel" as it was known lol.
I was 15 in 1997, I recorded TFI Friday every week on the old VHS video recorder it was my favourite show, I never ever missed it. Steve Cradock the guitarist of OCS has been in Paul Weller’s band since 1992. I believe he also started playing lead guitar for The Specials in 2014 and he is also in Oasis cover of Paul Weller’s former band The Jam’s Carnation which I really want you’s to react to, it also features Paul Weller. I’m friends with Steve Cradock on Facebook think I’ve only spoken to him once or twice 🤣
Ocean Colour Scene tunes you should also listen and react to: July You've Got It Bad Get Blown Away Big Star Better Day It's A Beautiful Thing Robin Hood The Circle Take your pick, they're all good!
We would watch this show every Friday at 6pm.. It had all the best bands send it was just another example of how awesome 90s were in the UK... More Ocean colour scene Get away (live) unbelievable get blown away (live) unbelievable
I am a Scot, but was at art school in England in 1997 so was influenced into listening to great bands like OCS and the Manchester scene. I genuinely feel lucky to have been in my late teens/early twenties when music was this good. Slightly different sound, but just as good, listen to bands like Ride and Ash, and also Ian Brown's (Stone Roses) Seahorses.
TFI Friday and it's older big brother The Tube were must watch programmes back in the day. The bands played live and raw. Best of, they were not on late at night. One of my favourite performances I remember was The Tubes (from the USA) on the Tube. An over the top performance on early evening TV, don't know how they got away with it. I think you may even find it on here, ( yes you can , just checked,, ) " THE TUBES ON THE TUBE ON YOU TUBE " doing White Punks on Dope,,,,Now how can you resist that.
If you like OCS I recommend an album called Live From The Riverboat. It's got a load of classics but it's all done acoustically. Well worth a listen :)
I was watching this live on the friday night it aired TFI friday was awesome. It was also the show where Samuel Jackson said he wanted to do star wars and got a call from George Lucas.
This is peak 90's Britain. TFI Friday belting out band after band. So many had real success with just one album (other albums would sell, but only really to fans), but it was the kind of album that would go into your all time collection. These with Mosely Shoals, Glow from Reef, I Should Coco from Supergrass, Suede from Suede, Different Class from Pulp. Added to the continued success of Oasis, Blur, The Prodigy, Jamiiroquai amongst others and it was such a great time to be entering the adult world and defining yourself! Such great memories!
Reef is a great shout.
Goodness yes! I used to love TFI Friday. Also Don't Forget Your Toothbrush was that other show Chris had wasn't it? Ah man, such great TV on a Friday.
Couldn't have said it better myself
@@barrythemoth Loudest band I ever saw, I had tinnitus for two days 😳
I used to love TFI and big breakfast, the Word and don't forget ya toothbrush. My nephew says, "I wish I'd grew up in the 90s like you uncle Dan". 😁
Steve Cradock one of the best guitarists in Britain 🔥
The first time I ever heard OCS was when they were a support act for Oasis at Maine Road. They were so good I bought their album Moseley Shoals the next day. Yeah the 90's were amazing for music.
I first saw them at Kilburn High Rd supporting Paul Weller mid 90's , did the same but with first album
Same. I only went cause my then girlfriend was into oasis but I thought these guys were brilliant. Far better than oasis is how I experienced it.
60s Britain, 70s Britain, 80s Britain, 90s Britain..take your pick fellas. It was all good. Cheers from the UK.
You need to check out another seminal moment from TFI Friday, Reef - Put your hands on, pure rock n roll!!
Yes to this
It's your letters!!!! 😂👍
@@gavinjohnson7725 I saw reef at their hometown show in glasto, a few years back some people sung that at them. Apparently they used to hate it now they find it hilarious.
IMO the cheesiest and worst song reef ever made. Sick of it. Played to death like it's their only song.

1997 - I was 16 years old watching this on Friday nights (TFI was a great TV Show!) - You guys need to do 'Robin Hood' by OCS ! Great Band
I second that! Robin Hood is a great song. (Also was 16 and watching TFI 😂)
third that also was 16 and watching tfi :D
Robin Hood is an amazing tune.
Robin Hood is an absolute belter
In 1997 I was a 33 year old ex Mod with a mortgage and two young kids, I'd stopped listening to the radio stations that played current music because they all played Rap and I hate Rap.
I worked with a young lad who lived a couple of streets away, we talked about music a lot, he was into this new local Mod band called Ocean Colour Scene and as we both liked a smoke he came around with their album Moseley Shoals, we had a very agreeable evening and I've been a fan of OCS ever since.

The Day We Caught The Train is another fantastic OCS song.
One of my favourite bands.
Listen to Day we caught the train and the travellers tune.👍
I was 16 years old and watching these guys on the tour for this album in Cardiff Arena. Met the drummer, Oscar. He just walked into the arena pre-gig.
They were one of the bands who were rediscovering the blues rock/heavy rock sounds of British bands from the early 1970s like Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Jeff Beck.

Saw Steve Craddock alongside Paul Weller a week ago and he is still as brilliant as he was in the nineties. Love Ocean Colour Scene.
I turned 18 in 1995 lived in London and yes WAS FUCING AMAZING ❤❤❤
Awesome choice! 💕
Great memories of watching TFI Friday. The good old days x
Epic band absolutely on point every time I have seen then live which is over 30 times now 😂
What was I doin' in '97? Getting high that's what. The 90s were fuckin' brilliant in the UK, from The Stone Roses and techno/house to the Brit Pop scene. Such a good decade!
TFI Friday with Kula Shaker and Arthur Brown, memorable.
The joys of chaotic live TV back in the 90s in the UK. No rules!
OCS are back out touring again at the moment. Couple of my mates went to see them last night and said they were as good as ever. My personal favourites are Travellers Tune and the one you played, Hundred Mile High City. The mid to late 90s in Britain were just incredible. I was in my early teens and just loved it all. Pulp, Oasis, Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Cast, OCS, Shed 7....I could go on all night.
You need to do Bloc Party if you haven’t already… helicopter and Banquet are good ones to start with to get into them 👍
I became a grandma in January 1997 but I still watched TFI Friday!
In 97, and this came on, it was a Friday tea time. After this finished I would have "went to see a man about a drug". Then, meet up with the boys, head into Glasgow and join the cue for "Pressure " at a club called "The Arches", one of Europe's best dance nights to see a world class techno night. Drop one in the que.
6 hours later, drowned in sweat, gurning like a monkey we were out. Back to a mates for chill out. Home about 10am.
That was the best days of my life.
Did that follow on from Slam with Stuart and Orde? I'm sure that was the club we used to go to and on Saturday we would head to the Tunnel with a spot of afternoon shopping at 23rd Precinct Records and Cruise, the Warehouse or Ichi Ni San for the glad rags!
@@karmannghiaman1041 It was indeed bro, if I remember correctly they used to play at Pressure on the Friday then the Sub Club on a Saturday, for a while. You were a Tunnel goer aye? Used to go there early on in my dancing career but I preferred the messy Arches nights.
For me it was a visit to Dr. Jives for a Stussy tshirt that would be wrecked by the end of the night. That and yer new trainers lol. 23rd Precinct! Not thought about that place in years.
Great memories!
@@stewrmo yeah, we used to drive up from Berkshire (my gf of the time was Scottish) so it took six or seven hours so Friday was less likely than the Saturday. The Tunnel had the best toilets I've ever seen in a nightclub! If we were still in Glasgow on the Sunday we'd go to the Sub Club which was like an acid jazz, rare groove night from memory.
@@karmannghiaman1041 The things we do for love! 7hrs tho! Yeah, the waterfall bogs were cool, although first time in you wonder if you should piss there! Great nights in Glasgow in that time, destroyed by the council. I think my 1st pill was in the "Sally Gunnel" as it was known lol.
Wow I was only chatting to Andy Bennet the guitarist the other week. Nice fella too
I was watching this on TV when this was first broadcast.
1997 July doing my final exams of secondary school. I was 15yrs old and working as a trainee chef a month later in Leeds lol
In 1997 I was watching this TV program every Friday evening
I was 15 in 1997, I recorded TFI Friday every week on the old VHS video recorder it was my favourite show, I never ever missed it. Steve Cradock the guitarist of OCS has been in Paul Weller’s band since 1992. I believe he also started playing lead guitar for The Specials in 2014 and he is also in Oasis cover of Paul Weller’s former band The Jam’s Carnation which I really want you’s to react to, it also features Paul Weller. I’m friends with Steve Cradock on Facebook think I’ve only spoken to him once or twice 🤣
Love to see you guys react to some old school Reef. Come back Brighter and Place you hands. Classic 90s. Memories mate
Fire and skill was the name of the jams live box set, craddock plays guitar with paul weller on a lot of his later stuff!
Ocean Colour Scene tunes you should also listen and react to:
July
You've Got It Bad
Get Blown Away
Big Star
Better Day
It's A Beautiful Thing
Robin Hood
The Circle
Take your pick, they're all good!
Steve Cradock is an absolute animal on the guitar.
We would watch this show every Friday at 6pm.. It had all the best bands send it was just another example of how awesome 90s were in the UK...
More Ocean colour scene
Get away (live) unbelievable
get blown away (live) unbelievable
So Low, Huckleberry Grove and another vote for Robin Hood, all time classic, fucking love OCS, you've got some absolute bangers ahead of you
I am a Scot, but was at art school in England in 1997 so was influenced into listening to great bands like OCS and the Manchester scene. I genuinely feel lucky to have been in my late teens/early twenties when music was this good. Slightly different sound, but just as good, listen to bands like Ride and Ash, and also Ian Brown's (Stone Roses) Seahorses.
TFI Friday and it's older big brother The Tube were must watch programmes back in the day. The bands played live and raw. Best of, they were not on late at night. One of my favourite performances I remember was The Tubes (from the USA) on the Tube. An over the top performance on early evening TV, don't know how they got away with it. I think you may even find it on here, ( yes you can , just checked,, ) " THE TUBES ON THE TUBE ON YOU TUBE " doing White Punks on Dope,,,,Now how can you resist that.
The Tube was brilliant, the only programme I can remember that had reggae on prime time with the likes of Gregory Isaacs and the Roots Radics.
It's a beautiful thing and better day, are also some great songs from OCS
If you like OCS I recommend an album called Live From The Riverboat. It's got a load of classics but it's all done acoustically. Well worth a listen :)
Amazing album 👌🏻
I was there. Renfrew Ferry 2002. Great gig
I was watching this live on the friday night it aired TFI friday was awesome. It was also the show where Samuel Jackson said he wanted to do star wars and got a call from George Lucas.
You have to do the OCS song “get blown away”
I was just starting secondary school and was listening to this exact song on the way, buckle up lads you're in for a treat!🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲
The guitarist Steve craddock plays with Paul weller from the Jam and fire and skill is a jam album compilation
You know Dan loves it when it's instant stink face time.
What a band. And their drummer was INSANE!!!
Not literally obviously
What was I doing in 1997? 21 year old me was watching TFI Friday every week, getting ready to go out and get utterly shit faced! 😂 😂 😂
Fabulous 🥰...one of my favourite tunes.
