That Jim Davison's got a great voice tbf
Oof😁
Exactly who I thought it was when I first saw it 🤣
The problem is I now expect him to sing doing Jim’s ‘Chalkie’ accent which is all kinds of wrong.
Can't be the original OCS singer....Shirley ???
@@yeahbuddy4712 it is- must have had a hard time of it. I look a lot older than I did in the 90’s too unsurprisingly ; but he doesn’t look like he is looking after himself. I wish him well.
Steve Cradock is an absolute wizard on the guitar.
Legend
Simon has never lost an ounce of his voice - still sounds class 25 years later
Spot on
Seen him last week in beautiful Nottingham. I've always made plans to see them but never did since 96. I travelled from Ireland to see OCS. Really did not let me down. Thank you OCS for all the memories:)))
@@gerardpaulbyrne48 OCS are on tour in December - Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Newcastle. Hopefully you can catch a flight over to one of those for the full sets!
@@Charlieb82 cheers Charlie:)
@@gerardpaulbyrne48 they're playing Dublin in December pal
Bring back the 90's
At the risk of sounding like someone saying, 'water is wet', Steve Craddock is a fantastic guitarist!
He’s why I play guitar
Was at a Paul Weller gig last night, Steve was playing, he was fantastic and i was lucky enough to be standing right in front of him, couldn't take my eyes off him playing
OCS - what a band, major part of my life growing up, smoking weed, driving my 1.1 Fiesta and flares and adidas!
class 😂👍
Are you me 😄
I know you shouldn't wish your life away but I wish I could've been born ten years earlier. Then I would've been 18 for Moseley Shoals instead of 8 😅 and while we're at it that's ten years less of today's corona and bent politics shite I would've had to deal with so fuck it in fact I wish I was born twenty years earlier lmao 😅
@@Camberwell86 I'm with you, 1985 kid, never quite old enough to enjoy peak OCS and Oasis but I made up for it with the other bands i follow...
TFI Friday coming full circle here.
Have lovely memories of this tune. This song drove the Mod revival in the early 90s. Awesome Band🎉
Early 90s? Lol
Ocean Colour Scene… wow! A beat literally not missed after 25 years! Amazing 👌🏾
A true real British band sooo underrated bring back music please!xxx
A masterclass in performance. Craddocks guitar arrangement is ridiculously good.
You are still the absolute bollox....age will never make these tunes "past it".... Classics are and will always be just that......Thank you all so much
Saw them play the Irish Centre in Birmingham back in the day. Fantastic gig and also the loudest one i’ve been to. 🙂
In 2016 they did some dates playing the whole Moseley Shoals album for its 20th anniversary. That's one of my biggest "why didn't you just get tickets and go you weapon" regret moments music-wise. 😥
I love Oscar Harrison's drumming
Chris Evens at Virgin. Thank you. You keep bringing the goods. And this song... Amazing memories made even better.
That was incredible, as always! A major highlight of TFI every week for me, that's saying something!
Man we are all getting Auld but Feck me we are all Awesome
Still fantastic 👌
Just fantastic. Big shout out to Evans too. he helped put my favourite band on the map. love you always guys. Thanks for the memories. x x x x x
Unbelievable
Top clapping an all. 😊
The years have been very kind
Lived in Spain early 2000's saw them twice at outdoor gigs so good. Should of been much bigger
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
My musical heroes doing it right! 🙌❤🎸🎵🎶 Thanks for posting this Virgin Radio!!
A quintessential British band I have seen more than once
Classic choone and a great version!
Fantastic
Brilliant.
Seen ocean last night smashed it put on a great show 👏 an Steve craddock nailed every riff an solo never missed a beat great band great songs 🎵
Pure gallas man👌
Steve lent me a couple of his guitars to record with years ago when we rehearsed in the same studio in Kings Heath, Birmingham. One was a 12 string Rickenbacker, sounded like god but played like a dog, and the other was the acoustic he’s playing here or one very similar. Astounding guitar - played itself. Nice guy and a great guitarist.
Simon, on the other hand, suggested I call my then new band Big Bollocks. I didn’t.
Ive only just found out this exists.. brilliant stuff
This is beautiful. Amazing 👏 🙀
Great song
Goddamn. Raw. Bloody awesome. Thank you for sharing.
The one we all came here for
Amazing love it!
This is wicked
Great little acoustic version. Nice vocals and Steve is always faultless. Top stuff 👍🏻
Great man
Calling out too all the TFI Friday heads out there, where are ye?
Fantastic and criminally underrated band
Yes yes yes..
Everything that ever happened is underrated hey
@@DaveTaste IKR , if I hear that fucking word again this week I think I`m going to vomit .
Man that voice just gets better with age. 👌👌👌
Ah man are you for real , poor guy is struggling through this one
Great tune💙✌
Local heroes still marchin'
It’s brilliant, I do wonder why after all these years Simon has to look at the lyrics
Alcohol, drugs and age I’d imagine!
@@stfitness I’d say your right he still sounds good though
@@jamesdrabble5776 He’s incredible mate. Love ‘em I do.
Tbh some of the lines are almost fast flow raps. I know the words but when it comes on the radio (fuck Sky and Virgin it's all about Absolute 😀) I can easily sing the wrong bits in the wrong places
"Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots a dove and frees an eagle instead"
"Like a King who stalks the wings and shoots the moon and the stars and his double"
Those bits always trip me up lmao 😅
Whenever I see people that have written the songs read their own lyrics I think " do your homework ". All the great bands Beatles The Who Zeppelin the Stones- no lyric sheets.
Class lads 😎
Out of all the bands during britpop ocean colour scene was truly underrated top band
Brums finest 🍻
Ricky from Eastenders has put on a bit of timber but can belt out a good tune.
Must be a nice throw back for Chris too - wasn't this what guests walked out to on TFI Friday? Or..... has teen and young adult life in the 90's..... ahem...... ☺ completely fuc☆Ed my brain and memory? 😂 😂 😂
Can't wait for brum gig
A classic tune we are the mods
Custic riber owt..loving wellers band ere
Who knew Mike brewer from wheeler dealers could belt out a tune
He should stick with cars.
wow, that was fooooookin amazing. mind blowing stuff , one of my forgotten favourite bands ever, are they back ?????? cos if they are I wanna see them, the singer his voice is so strong but he looks un recognizable amazing .
Plying in Camden this weekend
@@iancolley3791 Thank you, maybe if they come to North West I will see them. I seen them a few times back in the day. Not a ground breaking band but very entertaining.
.. a very underrated band
Who's underated them!?
@@RaveGenerator92.. how do you think they compare to oasis or blur, over the past 25 years.?
Everything that ever happened is underrated hey
At first glance, I thought that was Jim Davidson on vocals 😂
One of the best songs of that era, if not the best. Simon, certainly ate all the pies though. He was a handsome younger fella.
Simon le Bon's let himself go
But seriously, Huckleberry Grove is one of my lifetime favourite songs 👍 cheers lads.
🤘✌
Les Dennis is great on guitar
Why does he read the words of a song he wrote? And has played since 1996?
Can't he remember the words? Why the screen?
proper 90's Mod band ...........
i see pies.
Up ahead
I ate em all and now my neck's about the same size as my head.
Fuckin funny
Isn’t Simon on wheeler dealers
He drank another rum and coke, then told a dirty joke. I wonder what would have happened had he told the same dirty joke in 2022.
Taken from a song by Yes
What song are you thinking pal?
@@Kinger172 I'll let you know later, I forget now
@@Kinger172 changes
Ish
love this version & great band but .. is the lead singer on something or had a few 🍺 looks outta it to me ? u'd think after 20 odd years he'd not need to look at the songsheet to know the words 🤔
Same old choooonz
Nice Bongos.
The drugs have fooked our Simon......
How come he’s reading the lyrics? Surely he knows this one?
Rather than focus on Simon being taken hostage by later years Elvis body, how come Oscar looks EXACTLY the same??
Dam Simon has got a bit late Elvis.. since i saw him live 7 years ago... hope he looks after himself need OCS ( still sounds amazin btw)
Some awful comments about the lead singer's appearance/weight. Can't we all just enjoy the performance?
Nope , we're here to take the piss
Poor Simon seems to be in trouble
Poor guy. That's what alcohol does for you.
Likes a pie or two!
Advert advert advert advert advert advert ffs advert advert
Fuckinell life has not been kind
One of those bands in the background in the 90’s. Average as hell but a bit nostalgia is good.
Average… ffs. Better haircuts and they piss all over Oasis
Background bands ? I sense sarcasm lol
Booze coke and Es
Same old MOR dogs doings... like Chris Evans ... so 25 years ago...it's so out of date ..the river is running red mate cause the audience have done the wrists ...so.boring
Pieboat Song.
Bulb
Who ate all the pies then??
Porky Colour Scene
Fucking hell let this song retire zzzzzz
Boo
Horrendous!
Fuck me ,not literally Simon... he's got giant ain't he? Big giant lump of iron 😉🙃
