[kj] Nik & Mrs verve write

[Neil Perry]

When The Verve were touring the Northern Soul album, the (much better)
album before the one with all the hits on, I saw them play twice and they
were a fucking astounding mind-melting Stooges/acid rock style live experience. FACT! Then they got into dreary ballads and that was that. A real shame.
