The Charlatans with Rob Collins, it was this incomparable groove, it was the powerful Hammond organ hypnotizing... it was Indian rope at Reading ! This music is still alive, watch and listen to these 8 minutes of essential happiness live !
Ray Manzarek from The Doors was by far the best keyboard player until Rob Collins came along, obviously Ray Manzarek was a big influence for Rob but Rob is now the king off keyboards, nobody plays the Hammond like this guy, absolute legend. ROB R.I.P MAN
Hard to believe that this level of musicianship was taken for granted back then - 'Play your own instruments? Of course... why not? Write your own songs? Definitely... Actually sing live? C'mon now... we're a band!!'
I saw them play Newcastle city hall in 1991 on the - between 10th and 11th tour, they were fuckin flying by then. As much as I passionately loved Some Friendly, the Me. In. Time 12" was a breakthrough that led the way to their 2nd album, which was a monumental step up musically. I grew up and matured from baggy after hearing that. I'm still that same kid now, 30 years later and it's still my favourite album by them.
Same here. And Up To Our Hips comes a close second. I love the B-sides that came with the singles of that time period too, like Green Flashing Eyes and Backroom Window. They had a Garage Band groove about them. Tight unit. R.I.P. Rob R.I.P. John
Contemporary garage band at the time. I loved the hammond organ, still do. Best gig I ever went to in early 90s, blew my mind . I saw all the popular bands around then.
5 dislikes. Baffling ! This and Everything Changed are their greatest moments. First got them when I saw a ‘still’ from the Indie Chart on The Chart Show-1989. Got that 12 inch. Everything Changed on the B. They were superb. I was 19, in Boro. The height of all the indie-dance fusion- they rocked. Saw them at Newcastle Riverside in May 91. Incredible.
nelly This was indeed before the only one I know, Not long before though It was the first single that didn t do well but got popular later Live it was always popular though I saw them 4 times in the early 90s My favourite indie band ever, I put them above the roses and that's saying something!
@@chefstarr33 I grew up on the VENTION rob was about four years older then me i used to see him around abit of a lad going around with some top lads on the square shops and the pub He lived not far from bayton road from the fish & chip shop. My sister lives across the road from the shop.
@@chefstarr33 Did not know how good he was till we see him with the band.Such a shame what happend to him he was dam good RIP ROB and JON BROOKES RIP was dam good. Rob was called COLLOW around vention.
Debut single, one of the first songs the earlier incarnation of the band wrote - here they have their 2nd guitarist Mark Collins, making his debut replacing Jon Baker. "Indian Rope" very likely a reference to (60's hammond supremo) Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and the Trinity's arch organ groover "Indian Rope Man" - ruclips.net/video/byt1piBQvAk/видео.html

1000% Agree, I'm always think this too ✌Watching The Master at Work Rob R.I.P ☝️Genius

agreed and now we have one direction.. no direction is what i call them
@Realist 1801 what shite is that?? Not the Charlatans I hope
Jon Brookes & Rob Collins = Masters at Work
Der Meisters!!!
@@johngonzalez624 With out a doubt!
Don't forget Martin. People always talk about reni and mani but in my opinion Brookes abd Blunt absolutely smashed it as a rhythm section.
@@LT-sn3wq they are great but Mani and Reni as a rhythm section are unbeatable maan...!
Absolutely amazing ... Rob Collins what a legend ... the greatest !!!
Rob Collins in his elemnt, God bless his soul
I was in that crowd...Great set...Day before my 21st birthday...Good times...Thanks for the upload...

Magnificent. no other words needed. We miss you lads. RIP.x
Absolutely unbelievable performance.... what a band !!!!
I remember the first time i heard this it totally blew my mind. Collins belts it out with that organ.

Those guys knows how to play,real musician.
The start of a long journey! Tune!

Oh my. So good. Don’t even remember Tim’s hair looking like that!

Cos Tony doesn’t have the chops my friend.

I loved the charlies back in this Era...Now...I dunno.
class say no more
can someone tell me more about the song, and its title.. what does indian rope mean ??
indian rope trick is when a snake becomes stiff (*snicker*) and climbs up out of a pot as if it was a rope.
Carl Draper burgess emerges from a basket with a v shaped tongue.....nice
