Ride were fucking incredible in the beginning. I saw them on the "Nowhere" USA tour and they blew my mind. On eof the very best shows I saw in the whole of the 1990s.
Verve (pre-"The" Verve) were also pretty fucking amazing. "A Storm In Heaven" is one of the best psychedelic albums I have ever heard, and at that time they were easily one of the best live bands on earth too. God, did they ever turn into a bunch of crap later. Disappointing. I'm glad I caught them early. I got to see them in a tiny bar, playing to an audience of maybe 40 people and it was insanely good.
Spiritualized - ditto the Verve comments. Up to an including "Ladies and Gentlemen," one of the greatest live bands I have ever seen. After that, they were either too overproduced or bland for my liking, but god god were they fantastic for a number of years.
