| August 30th, 1993: Hamburg, Docks (cap. approx. 1300),
opening for the Smashing Pumpkins My first encounter with The Verve, and it definitely turned me onto them. I don't remember too much, only that they where at least on the same level as the Pumpkins; if it comes to intensity: absolutely impressing. It was kind of strange though, since I didn't really expect a support band that would play 'mind expanding' stuff - at first listen it is a little weird, but I tried to get into it (most of the audience didn't), and thought: that's one of those bands that I always needed. So, of course, I bought the CD afterwards. Unfortunately, it was the same as ever: if you've seen it live, then the recorded version doesn't come close. |
