Favourite song of all time. Tragically underrated band.
Not by me
Timeless. Such an underrated song. So powerful.
Ah man, the 90s were just glorious.
Wha beautiful rendition of a classic song
And that Ladies and Gentlemen is why Steve Craddock is Paul Weller’s Wing Man 😎😎
Exactly
him and Johnny Marr are the best of the last 35 years. Absolute geniuses 🙌
@@johnmaguire1212 And Coxon
@@HeldByTrees and Nick McCabe
One of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Technically brilliant, he gets the emotion of the music as well, always comes across that he's putting his soul into it.
Take me back to the nineties please, anyone ?
What a guitarist Stevie Craddock 👏 😍
Wellers guitarist aswell isn't he
@@lefthandlee and the Specials for the last 3 years
Outstanding 👏
his voice has aged so well.....beautiful song that is
So powerful when I was 15. I’m no 40 and still the same 💚
When did we all get so old!
Have I really been playing this album for 25 years?
That is a really polite way of saying fuck they look old , the singer especially lol
@@shubr66 I look older. 😂😂😂😭😭😭 But yeah, we're all beginning to look a little 'lived in'. 😂
Nothing wrong with looking lived in , better than looking perfect, syas you have lived a full life..all the britpop generation are this age now..and my lord was it fun..we are now getting old disgracefully!
@@themountaingoat21 It was brilliant wasn't it Jase! I'm 50 now and I'm only taking drugs that the doctor gives me these days, but whenever I put one of the great Britpop albums on, I'm transported back to my 20's when life was a whole lot simpler. 🎶🎶🎶
Today's kids , will just never get it. 89 I was watching the stone roses in a pub before the first album, came out. Getting sonically seduced at my bloody valentine concerts, watching radiohead support Frank and the Walter's at Bristol poly in 91. Pulp at Glastonbury ..life was the bomb. Andnot a smart phone in sight. Just good good times
one of THE best live bands, this recording is stunning. Simon's voice is perfectly on point - beautiful crisp clear guitar, a great version.
Like fine wine
Wow, still awesome! What an amazing song all these years on. First got in to Ocean Colour Scene when I was 16, I'm now 41 and still have them on my playlist! Huge fan of this band, up there with Oasis and the Manics.
Me too mate
The manics 🤪
Same here! Got into them when I was 16, also now 41, and also still in my playlists 👌 Moseley Shoals was a huge deal to me… gotta be up near the top for most played album all time for me
Yessssss!!! Seen them live twice and me and my wife partied with them about 15 years ago. A night I will never forget.
My favourite band of all time, lost count of how many times I’ve seen them. Met Simon twice such a legend
Such a beautiful and poetic song. Lyrics are great
Steve Cradock is and will always be one of THE greatest British guitarists of all time!!! Of the UK guitarists that you can still see performing at their peak today Steve Cradock and Johnny Marr are our holy grail! 🎸🙌
Simply one of the best if not the best bands of the 90s
One of the most underrated guitarists of a modern generation. Seen them numerous times live and one of the few artists I’d go and see yearly if I could
Steve Craddock is underrated?
@@DaveTaste yeh in my opinion. There’s some more fashionable names out there that get rave reviews and I wouldn’t class them better than Craddock
The voice that's never changed
Love the carpets tribute at the end. RIP Craig Gill. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Just the most beautiful song ever - icing on the cake are the last lines from Inspiral Carpets 💗
Les Dennis has upped his guitar game. This song has that key change that gives you goose bumps.
If the key change is there I'll give you the money myself
Don't be so disrespectful, hes called Jim Davidson.
Do you know what a key change is?
@@robmaddison8645 🤣
They’re just fantastic, anyone else here feel sort of grateful they never made it massive and got ruined by record producers like so many good bands (there’s plenty who made great albums then got really big and churned out crap etc) whereas with ocean colour scene they’ve always stayed true to what they do. Great performance from real musicians
O.C.S. What an incredible, quality, class, English band !! Fantastic... ❤🎤🎸🎶🎵
Hearing this song instantly takes me back to being 15 and walking to school with my walkman on. The guitar solo on the studio version of this song is a thing of beauty!!
I'm 42 and I first heard OCS away back in 94 and been a massive fan ever since. Even to this day their songs get me through tough times .... simply amazing 👏
Used to play the guitar solo at the end of this song on a tennis racquet as an 11 year old
I was listening to Proof by I am Kloot on Spotify and this came on afterwards - I am so glad it did - despite growing up with this music in the 90s Ocean Colour Scene had fallen off my musical radar in the intervening 25 years -finding this again feels like being reunited with an old friend
Massively underrated band. Class.
This must be the most heartfelt and searching performance ever, thank you.
Why does this song always give me goosebumps 👌
Awesome tune 👌 Steve has to be 1 of if not the best guitarist around
So, so good. All the vibrato stuff, and that guitar! Check out Little Barrie Cardigan if you haven't heard of him. Loads of clips of him lighting up guitars.
Pure class, sounds great now as it did back when it came out.
This band was a massive part of my youth still amazing live.
OH man, that Inspiral Carpets bit there at the end hit me so hard
Beautiful lyrics, beautifully performed. My absolute favourite.
one of the best songs of all times, just wild
Superb, two great performances so far on Virgin Radio today. Simon’s voice has gotten better with age and SC’s guitar playing is top drawer as per.
A voice never grows old
The Circle gets me everytime at the core.
To me they are like the last of the greats Simon Fowler’s Pen is pure gold a unique poet he is, as for Steve well what a Fantastic Musician he is, we know he’s an incredibly gifted and inventive guitarist, but he’s also great on Keys and Plays Drums/Percussion but really love he’s guitar playing… They are up there with Anyone 👊👍🏻❤️🌞⭐️
Beautiful live every time 🖤
Love that line - "the sunshine pours like wine, through your window" 🌞
Awesome performance!
magic! a classic
Beautiful everything. Song, guitars, vocals.
This song helped me through my divorce in 2016, after 42 years of marriage, not my choice, as I wasn’t given one.
I definitely felt outside of the circle.
My god this takes me back to a better time a better place and a better country
Better day 😊
Never get tired of listening to ocs the songs age like a fine wine 👌
Sounds even better like this. I covered this in one of my bands many times - many years ago - and always loved playing it. Takes you back doesnt it? Both brilliant musicians.
This has rejuvinated my love for this band, great playing and the voice, wow. Great.
OMFG 🤯 I can’t believe how good that sounds…. I think Simon’s voice sounds just as good, if not better, than it used to 👌
A nod to the Inspirals at the end 👍👍👍👌 both bands happened to be my favourites back in the day. Seen them both dozens of times over many many years. Best guitarist I've seen live. Ever.
These fellows and their performances of the best album in my collection, are aging like a beautiful, elegant and distinguished fine wine! Bravo
This song is in my psyche with Don't look back in anger, wonderwall and champagne supernova. It deserves to be. God I miss the mid 1990's! 🤣
One of top five bangs of last thirty years
Abosolute the best brtish group I have seen a few times
If Ocean Colour Scene were from Manchester, London, Liverpool or any other part of Britain rather than my home city of Birmingham then they would have gotten more recognition for sure. They give Oasis and the Verve a run for their money any day of the week!
Mosely Shoals is a top draw album!
you gave us black sabbath i thank you
Nonsense. I don't think it has anything to do with where they are from.
Bollocks. The Verve are fucking legends. Oasis were a movement. OCS were ok and a couple of their songs have stood the test of time but that’s it. Pipe down son 👌🏻
Well, no they wouldn’t. Ocean Colour Scene where a v good band, but because they are not from the said city’s doesn’t detract away from them, or add to their ranking. UB40 are from Birmingham and they got the recognition because they where absolute class. The Verve are from Wigan, that didn’t affect there recognition and Oasis where in another league than OCS. Anyway, brilliant band nevertheless and this is one of their brilliant tracks.
Well at least they are, not were.
Love it
Faultless that, magnificent. Evans gets the 90’s greats. I mean he eat off TFI walk in music for years. Riverboat Song. Class pure class
The most underrated brand Britain has ever had
And I'll sing to those I love on their birthdays. Beautiful.
Fantastic. Not seen these boys live since late 90’s & early 2000’s
So many great bands in that indie era and OCS were so individual with that distinctive sound. 16 when this came out. Take me back...
Simon that was a great session. Others feel it. Your not on your own. Been a fan since the beginning. Even post pandemic it will never have less meaning to those who understand it. Timeless. Love ya !
Amazing
Such a great voice. great singer
Such a beautiful way with words writing,he is a poet for sure.
Nice nod to the Carpets at the end, good job lads 👌🏼
:o)
Was just going to say the same, but knew someone else would have spotted it!
I love you guys! So many great songs I'll never forget. Thank you!
I can remember when they were called the fanatics, lent the drummer at the time, my set at a gig in brum, had a conversation with Steve about an American band called the long ryders, who we were both massive fans of, really nice lads👍
One of the best. Cant wait til barrowlands December to hear another masterclass 👌
unbelievably superb. Perfect.
Absolutely incredible band, saw them last night in bristol and they sound just like they do on an album
Still one of the best songs ever thanks 😄
Getting old is a bastard man, where have the Years gone
So beautiful.
My favourite of theirs. Remember seeing them live in my youth. Quality song, well played
Beautiful still xxx Even more now xx
Absolutely outstanding. 👏👏👏
I always preferred the acoustic version of this when I first heard it on the B Side, Seasides and Free-rides album
Just as good today if not better than all those years ago
Simply wonderful this song kisses my sole !
Love the bass notes craddock puts in too 👌
Bloody awesome chaps, lovely tune played better than ever by Simon and Steve...ace vocals, hairs on end
Probably seen OCS (in some derivative or another) c.50 times and The Circle always gives me goosebumps.
Foxy used to do a Christmas gig every year down one of our local pubs and it was the best night of the year. All OCS and all acoustic...even if he did usually forget the words !!!
Going the Manchester show tonight seen these in Manchester apolo 20 something years ago I'm 47 now and taking my 15 year old daughter what a fuckin band I've seen some top bands over the years all over the word in I've always said these are probably the best band I've seen perform live just hope they still have the same energy 25 years on
So perfect !
Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful 👏
Love this, so many happy memories listening to these songs, still great to this day, really well done guys
Wow!! Just wow!!
This is what live music is all about……… goose bumps!! Steve, any chance of a live gig in Devon ? 😎😎🇬🇧
i still listen to OCS most days
Excellent, thanks 😊
Steve has got to be one of the best guitar players in my opinion
Beautiful..
Beautiful
What a song
1997 White Hart, New Mill. The place to be. RIP Mark.
Class act....👍
I met Steve craddock on the train in Birmingham I was coming back from Swansea and I was listening to OCS on that train journey like I usually do but little did I know Steve craddick was literally a few seats behind me and I asked him how Simon was doing crazy to me 👌🏼
Sounding better with age ❤
