From: Andrew Mitchel
| The show was at Cardiff University and they were
supporting Smashing Pumpkins. Admitedly at the time I was heavily into
Pumpkins (what a confession!) but had a shit copy of A Storm in Heaven, and
the Verve EP. I was gear for Pumpkins to perform on but when Verve came on I
was just blown away. The power of the performance and the wall of beautiful
noise that they produced - I will never forget it. They started with Slide Away and finished with Gravity Grave, and throughout I thought the sound and power of Nick McCabes echoey distored guitar was amazing. So amazing and load was it that I was left with bad tinnitus for the best part of a year! It was only a short support gig but my memories of Verves performance lingers much more in the memorary than that of Pumpkins. I hope they come good in there reformation, even if it is minus Nick. See you at Reading. |
