Kelly Jones - Performance and Cocktails Track By Track | X-Posure | Radio X

Stereophonics' frontman, and all round rock n' roll legend, Kelly Jones stopped by the Radio X studio to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Performance And Cocktails with a full track-by-track album review. Speaking to Radio X's Gordon Smart, Jones reflected on making the album, and the live performances of the 90s.
Performance And Cocktails (1999) launched Stereophonics from a promising post-Britpop trio to one of the biggest artists in the country. The album waved a fond farewell to the 90s, personifying the big guitar sound that we'd all become so familiar with. Whilst the 'Phonics have had an illustrious career over the last twenty years, but some fan favourites remain on this seminal.

Those early phonics albums are classic!

[@allknowingoracle3277]

This album is my late teenage years in a nutshell 😍

[@74kid]

I’m a couple of months younger than Kelly. Late 90’s early 2000’s I was living in London, got into Coldplay, into the Chilli Peppers. Got really into Eminem, saw him live at the Astoria. The Stereophonics passed me by. Now going down a rabbit hole and looking at their history. A great band, really talented!

[@kendram60]

I love The Stereophonics and cannot wait for album 11

[@kiercronin1442]

I loved early phonics..... then went off it a bit. But listening to Kelly pulls me back in.

[@rODIUMuk]

Performance and cocktails was a classic

[@burtcocain2]

First two albums where fantastic

[@rODIUMuk]

Agreed

[@graemejack9040]

Out of all the times I've seen them my favourite moment was when they played Not Up To You at Newcastle university one time. It's the absolute best rendition of any song by any band I've ever seen.....EVER!

[@Gman83279]

I was just glancung thought comments and I mistook the word rendition for cover. I've been searching for who originally sang it. Lol

[@isitwasit8756]

To have a proper understanding of just how Kelly's voice impacts a song? Check him out singing foo fighters best of you.. unbelievable how he makes the song grow

[@steviea6070]

Quality

[@makeyourself1988]

Also first live band I ever saw live in Exeter westpoint arena

[@dave55s]

Poor behaviour Radio X...way too many adverts

[@rODIUMuk]

They made three amazing albums. The rest are shite unfortunately

[@0wls2k]

You Gotta Go There To Come Back was way better than JEEP for me

[@rODIUMuk]

@Oscah they have a lot of dedicated fans

[@john_the_boxer]

It’s so heavily edited, it’s hard to work out what songs he’s discussing, if you can at all.
And Gordon Smart is a cringeworthy sycophant. Makes me itch watching him brown nose anyone who has any amount of fame.

[@jamesibbotson4681]

Fucking Idiot

[@leemcqueen500]

James Ibbotson Yeah gordon smart is a fucking idiot.

[@graemejack9040]

If you dislike him so much why do you watch his interviews?

[@0wls2k]

The guy is clearly a fan, dude. The fact you're being so negative reflects badly on you. Sort yourself out.
