The Verve

[brollyman]

I'm off to Blackpool to see the Verve tonight. I last saw them live in '97 at their "farewell" gig at Haigh Hall in Wigan...

Has anyone been to any other dates on the tour? Any good? What can I expect?

I went on a date a while back to a scissor sisters concert, was not bad but the scissor sisters were a bit rubbish

dont know who your going with so cant say what to expect.. sorry

I saw Richard Ashcroft at the IOW festival in 2006, he was very good but kept going on about David Cameron and how we shouldn't believe his tulips, he failed to come up with a reasonable alternative though.

I saw the Verve in 1993 suporting the smashing pumpkins. This was before they became a pop band, they were quite good back then

I saw The Fall in a workingman's club, they were competing with the bingo caller.

It was a long time ago.

I'm surprised Mr Smith didn't wrap his mic stand round the bingo caller's neck. Last time I saw them he kept unplugging Brix's amp. John Peel was there (it was in Norwich) and he found it highly amusing. Brix didn't...

All I can say having been to the Verve gig last night is.....

fliping EPIC!

A sublime evening with one of the world's best rock bands. Richard Ashcroft is back to what he does best.....

I went to the same school as them, I was a prefect when they were first years so probably gave them a kicking or two.
