Philadelphia Philadelphia, Pa, US (Aug/01/1994)

From: Mike

it was in Aug of 94 when I first saw verve in philly. I had their CD's for about 1 1/2 years but never had the chance to see till that Aug like a lot of you, (all?) I was completely blown away by the band. I was really looking forward to the show. I had ASIH, EP, b-sides&outakes. So I was fired up for this show. But I had NO IDEA that they would make the recordings sound ....well, pale in comparison to what they do live. I was deeply moved at the passion and spirt of the group...I left that show feeling their was still hope for music !!!!!!! I had a smile on my face for weeks : ) never in my life and in this day of cooky-cutter "alt" music.... did I expect to see something that amazing and "REAL"!!!! just music in it's purest form...no gimmicks- no b.s.- no 2 1/2 min. "pop" hits...just pure music...beautiful..............

ps. they may not have burned long.....but they sure burned bright *
