Yeah- The Egg is one my favourite Monday’s tunes too. Very moody, very Manchester

And just sounds like nothing else. Really inventive and ramshackle.

Just had a flashback to also seeing them with Donovan. Yes, not half as good as the previous time at Webley Arena.

Was never a massive fan but I do vividly remember seeing this broadcast on Granada late one Sunday night and thinking it was VERY cool.

Think it was on The Other Side of Midnight IIRC. Some proper characters on stage with them for the close doing Wrote For Luck.

What is/was the general consensus on Black Grape? I only remember the singles - never really investigated beyond that.

I didn’t really like it. Apart from Kelly’s Heros which was quite amusing (interesting lyrics)
Think that footage was on the Hallelujah (singles?) VHS. Live in New York I want to say?
Reminds me, my mate and I had a load of shrooms one night in my house when my Mum was away. We watched the Hallelujah VHS and got totally freaked out by Bez, my mate said he looked like Emporer Palpatine from Star Wars and we couldn’t unsee it, had to turn it off

Was that the year Tony Wilson was going off at American dance music at the conference thing?

We saw them at a music ‘festival’ in Bingley, near Bradford about 2017…don’t think Shaun got the family vibe… F’in his way through the set 
Ramshackle, certainly… Not brilliant though

My first trip up to London for a gig. 17. Tab of acid. Best night ever
Although was a little freaked for a while by the announcement that “all you found in the area (and I couldn’t make out the rest)”. Was I in the area? What would happen to me? It then dawned it was " on-u sound in the area". I mean ffs what a novice!!!
It’s up there with the police trying to infiltrate the Brighton nazis singing “seig heil” at the match. Which was obviously “Sea-gulls”…

I also saw them at one of those Loaded In Park things in Clapham Common early 2000’s, very messy. Went to an afters at Turnmills & then an after afters at the Macbeth in Hoxton where me & mate Al had a strange drug back & forth with Bez where he was insisting we do his speed & my pal insisting we do his charlie. I remember leaving at about 7am because a massive Doberman was walking around the pub. Can’t remember what their set was like

That clip always cracks me up when Shaun sneaks up behind Mark Day taps him on his bald spot with a maraca then moves off before he turns around

You get the sense at the end that they knew they’d knocked that out of the park. A brilliant version.

lol my pal is back at her parent’s home, going through cd’s. see, her dad has run a christian music radio show for decades, but has gone digital, so the physical media is no longer needed. tons and tons of CCM and evangelical-adjacent discs made for the worship market. guess what she found in the pile?
the cd single for happy mondays “hallelujah”
