"Gravity Grave" was The Verve's greatest hit at the time of its release (1992). Part of their "psychedelic era", this is another song with blurry visions and strong connections to drug taking. The band, especially lead singer Richard Ashcroft, were more than apt to do. In fact, Ashcroft collapsed on stage at the 1994 Lollapalooza tour from taking too much ecstasy. An extended version of the song was played at the 1993 Glastonbury Festival and lasted over nine minutes. The Glastonbury performance can be found on the No Come Down EP. The full version of the song also appeared on The Verve's greatest hits album, This Is Music: The Singles 92-98.
