I love this song. His voice is sublime. Amazing how he shifts in and out of this beautiful falsetto. It almost sounds like two different singers. His falsetto is so clean and beautiful but his voice is so rugged
Really wish he would be easier on himself and release more music. Im sure he has dozens of tapes of fantastic music he doesnt want to release. I can understand that as a musician myself but as a fan I can only hope lol
I love a jangly guitar tune. I also love the internet. I can see/hear almost any song I desire often within seconds. I had an urge to hear this song and found this little live gem. Instant joy.
For those unaware, the bassist, John Power, is a fantastic songwriter in his own right and formed Cast when The La's split up. "All Change" is an absolutely superb album. I don't know who wouldn't know that, seeing as you're here watching a La's video, but whoever you are, you're welcome ☺️
I loved Cast's album All Change it had so many great tracks on it, Alright, Finetime, Sandstorm and the timeless Walkaway which is a beautiful song. I was in my mid 20s in the middle of the '90s when so called Britpop kicked in with the likes of Oasis, Blur, Stereophonics, Ocean Colour Scene, Suede, Pulp, Kula Shaker, The Verve, The Charlatans, James and Cast who seemed to get lost because of Oasis and other big band's, but i remember buying the cd All Change when it came out and it was 1 of my favourite's. I'm going to have to get the cd again, I'm going to put it in my music library on my phone but i love to have the actual cd. I have hundreds from my favourite era 1960s and early '70s like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, Bob Dylan, Donovan, Simon and Garfunkel, The Byrds, Them, The Animals, The Yardbirds, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Love, Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane, Buffalo Springfield, Traffic, The Doors, The Zombies, The Band, The Small Faces, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Neil Young, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Elvis Costello, Blondie, The Strangler's, The Jam, The Police, The Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, Eurythmics, New Order, The Cure, The Stone Roses, Happy Monday's, The Charlatans, James, Talking Heads, Primal Scream, R.E.M. and lots of other bands, but thanks for reminding about All Change, should be in everyone's collection. Cheers 👍
@@kevanbrown7620 I'm surprised you didn't mention Doctor Feelgood. Introduced to me by a excellent chap, work colleague, friend and mentor. He did have a band back in his 70's, but don't think they have any recordings. Every now and them I have to put out loud Doctor Feelgood just to have a mojo resetting! 😄✌️
Loved this tune since I first heard it in the early 90s a few years after its' initial release. "The Word" was quality I remember watching it as a youth back in the day!
It's amazing how the jangle sound was served back and forth across the Atlantic so many times. This tune was the bridge from the Smiths and R.E.M. to everything that came after the Stone Roses in Brit Pop.
I saw several early 90s La’s gigs and love their songs and sound much better than Oasis (who I also saw early on) and the Smiths who I saw in the late 80’s. The La’s had their own groovy, sparse, “naked” skiffle-ish sound that few bands ever attempt because it’s not easy. The La’s had power without Noel Gallagher’s Gibson Les Paul and Marshall amps at 11. Noel in fact ranks the La’s in his top ten albums of all time. I like Oasis but LOVE THE LA’S!!!
This is the best song from the '60s written in the '90s. A classic. 1 of Paul Weller's favourite songs. It's also about heroin. I know I've been there. 💯✌️
@@pant1371 They are talking about love, why not? The song was written in 87, he TRIED heroin in 90. He wasn't even an user, he was never a fan of it But it's ok to look at it the way you want
Just shows it's a danceable song and all types love the song. I was a bit surprised, on spotify, Mexico City has the 4th most listeners of The La's. They have great taste!
I do honestly like both versions but The La's jingle jangle 60s guitar sounds mixed with Lee's melancholic scouse voice and John's passionate backing vocals and harmonies make The La's number one for me. That sound they created makes me feel alive.
Look at them all dancing wierdly not giving a shit. The 90s man was just fantastic.
Not hearing the song
The naughties you mean?!
@@BriggTheRig It was most definitely the 90's 👍
It's because the ecstasy was really good back then, full of MDMA. I had a great time.
Listening to Eurythmics actually
I love this song. His voice is sublime. Amazing how he shifts in and out of this beautiful falsetto. It almost sounds like two different singers. His falsetto is so clean and beautiful but his voice is so rugged

I had no idea so thanks
That dancing is mental hahahahhahahahha.
Everything was rave and they were getting ‘on it’ 😂
Everybody danced like that in the clubs in 1990.
They dancing like twats. You gotta admit.
So raw but a great performance of this wonderful song.
A simpler time. Beautiful.
This song is like if the Beatles and the Byrds collaborated.
Agree.... Sounds like 12 strings... TO ME
Nailed it! Always thought this could be a 60's song
That is bang on my friend
John's backing vocals sound so lovely here ❤
He looks like a young Chris Martin.
Take that back right now!
You're gorgeous
yessss
The tall guy in the white is rocking it
If you’re referring to the black boy, he’s dancing like a c**t!
Always keep coming back to this video, the song is nice but the fucking hip hop dancers never fail to tear my sides a new one
Those were the early 90's music TV shows trying to be hip with cool dance music and edgy indie bands on the same shows
@@TravisBickle1963 Utalkin2ME
This is awesome! "BritPop" before you'd even heard of such a thing...
bass coming thru nicely here
God I loved this song when it came out. So great to hear it again...! I think I saw them live at a record store in Silver Lake, L.A.
A most excellent and actually live performance of this classic song. Thanks!
La armonía la interpretación, es tan hermoso este tema.
Very love this band.
this is the best live recording of this i’ve heard. so good.
Shame we don't hear the acoustic guitar.
cuz of the backing vocals
Jeez they were infants..talented infants. LOVE LA's!
What a wonderful time.
There she goes The Las The roses waterfall 89/90 can't beat that era of music
Oh my 90s. Awesome.
Neil Mavers has a strange but excellent drumming style...
is it really his broski? thats awesome, great comment
Amo esta canción ❤️😌 es tan hermosa, Temazo!! 💯 No hay como la versión original 👏🏻que es esta!
This is straight vibes between the song and dancing. Nothing like this nowadays
So good. It makes the series on BBC memorable too
Loved this tune since I first heard it in the early 90s a few years after its' initial release. "The Word" was quality I remember watching it as a youth back in the day!
I like the way they do the dancing
1:57 lmfao
Same guy ath 1:42.
Hey, that move is a great one for the club.
My top ten also, love this
Saw them do this 5 months later at Parr Hall Warrington March 91. They played the song twice as they included it as their encore.
I actually love the dancing. No one giving a fuck and loving life. Up The La’s.
Absolute Class ❤️😊
All-time great song. Very underrated, imho.
Love the Vibrants dancing to a totally different tune
and to think it's not even the best tune on the album! thats how incredible the debut album is...
We had it good in the 80s/90s
Brilliance
Best performance
Great guitars!
It's amazing how the jangle sound was served back and forth across the Atlantic so many times. This tune was the bridge from the Smiths and R.E.M. to everything that came after the Stone Roses in Brit Pop.
the smiths, rem? do me a favour and don't wet the bed
This song = if Noel Gallagher and Eric Foreman had a kid who sang a song written by Johnny Marr.
Lee is five years older than Noel
johnny marr wishes he could write this

@@lennon1482 as much as i love this song, marr has written more than his share of bangers
Love the song. And the dancing 😂💀👌🏼
italy love la's
Brilliant.
Sid McGuinnes plays this the best!
Wow , those are some groovy dancers . Such peachy keane moves . This show was really boss .
Amazing public
great song!
This is the best song from the '60s written in the '90s. A classic. 1 of Paul Weller's favourite songs.
It's also about heroin. I know I've been there. 💯✌️
Also its Noel Gallagher’s favourite song from the 90’s…
I love it.
This is a fucking brilliant song, but like… that dancing tho… 💀😂
like they're dancing to a different song
Songs about heroine make me dance around like that too.
Lee must've loved it.
I was 7 years old that day
Homeboy dancing thinks it's Hammer Time.
Julian Clary on the sofa at the end there 2:32! He left Fanny the wonderdog at home though...
60s song with 90s background 😂
I'm proud to be a 90s baby 👶
1990???
holy shit this is hilarious
Can't hear the acoustic barely
The dancers😆
There she goes...
The 90s were great, people were not uptight like they are now.

Shame we don't hear the acoustic guitar.
Sixpence.... One of the most Nostalgic songs of all time
effortless beauty, not the dancing
This is the most 90s thing I've ever seen.
2:04 They dance ... and he Is nearly criyng .... They don't even Imagine the Pain and the real meaning of the Song... 🖤
it's about heroin
@@pant1371 No
@@Smilextreeme search it up. They were an english rock band in the 90s, are you so naϊve as to think that they were talking about love?
@@pant1371 They are talking about love, why not? The song was written in 87, he TRIED heroin in 90. He wasn't even an user, he was never a fan of it
But it's ok to look at it the way you want
0:57
The singer looks like he's about to fucking break down
singer kinda reminds me of Noel Gallager
That's ok, I didn't want to see the band anyway
haha, what's with the ridiculous hip hop dancing?
Los noventas.
idk, but they're killing it!
Just shows it's a danceable song and all types love the song. I was a bit surprised, on spotify, Mexico City has the 4th most listeners of The La's. They have great taste!
Where is this?
@@susantodd3233 England
love the dancing 😂 great song but definitely not a dancey one
Its a little bit awkward 😅 😬
1:58 wtf is that dance lol … its like they're dancing to a different song completely
what dancing is that? LOL
Those guys are 100% paid actors to dance to whatever or they were high on something
High.
No people were not uptight like they are now
Haha..... To be fair I was definitely high around that era and my dancing was way worse than that
Also, I find irony in people dancing jovially to a song about heroin addiction.
In an interview with Les Inrockuptibles, Lee Mavers admits to trying heroin in 1990. The song therefore predated his experience.
you don’t need to have taken drugs to write double entendre love songs about them
@@jasonjon I could write a song about cocaine without having to try it. Your logic makes no sense
Those dancers really lost it
Why are they all dancing like that?!!
Lol so strange to see breakdancing to this song
The song is great, but it’s about heroin....not a girl.
Allegedly
The version by Six Pence None the Richer is sooo much better tthan this one imo but oh well... to each his own.
I do honestly like both versions but The La's jingle jangle 60s guitar sounds mixed with Lee's melancholic scouse voice and John's passionate backing vocals and harmonies make The La's number one for me. That sound they created makes me feel alive.
Great song. Embarrassing video.
Perfection. Lee you are a true genius.
