omg! amazing concert, amazing band performing their homecoming gig, following sell-out world tour. was lucky enough to get tickets. this song completely blew my mind...tears rolling down my cheeks. still bit dewey-eyed in 2012 :)
The whole Ashcroft rant at his Ex was - “To that snidey fucker in the audience you know who you are, it’s not about you. Fucking dream on. Dream on! It’s about love, it’s about people with love. It’s about you lot making it one of the greatest days of my life, come on!” I also recorded it off Radio 1 and have those words burned into my mind, nay, soul!

got an audio source? I can't find one anywhere and would love to hear it
+fawltyborstals Not myself, recorded it off Radio 1 onto tape which has long gone I'm afraid. think there are bootlegs of the gig though.
Nick McCabe is brilliant.
I used to have thios version taped off the radio. Caught this TV broadcast in the early hours one morning - why is this not out on DVD?
I might have a copy
Amazing version that could use a bit more gain .. but absolutely perfect.
yeeeeaaah!
I think they've split up for good....I'm gutted I never saw them live.

fucking perfect.
I could have typed that myself mate. I had it on a tape (off of radio 2 i think?) and my daft cousin taped over it with some happy hardcore. gutted.
Well turn the volume up then :P
except he didn't say "crowd", he said "audience" ;)
Hard Nuts listen to Oasis...
Soft Boys to Blur...
God listens to the verve
