Academy 1 (Manchester Academy)
19th September 1994

This gig was part of Tony Wilson and Yvette Livesey's 1994 In The City festival and a segment of Ride's set was broadcast live on Radio 1's Evening Session. Support was from Supergrass and Kinky Machine.

Supergrass had yet to release any material and were onstage as soon as the doors opened playing a fizzy set to a small uninterested crowd. Second support was from Kinky Machine who faired slightly better.

I think the presence of Radio 1 put a dampener on the vibe of the show, it didn't feel like a typical gig, the early stage times and a 10pm curfew was quite unsettling. It didn't look like Ride were enjoying themselves either, it felt like their moment was passing and that emanated throughout the whole show.
