Never get bored of this, f**kin amazing ❤

I’ve listened to this tune maybe 20 times now - which Tony would like because it’s how many times UNITED have won the league. This morning I listened to it, closed my eyes and within seconds a tear 😢 ran down my left cheek. Later when referencing our United greats who like Tony are no longer on this mortal realm a tear formed and dripped down my right eye! I can honestly say I don’t tear up very often as a 43 year old man. It’s not that I’m afraid to shed a tear so hide it. It just because most things don’t hit me in the heart, the body and the soul BUT MY MANCHESTER and your Manchester should always HIT YOU RIGHT THERE. For if it doesn’t then you can’t be tuned into the right frequency. Thank you Mr Wilson for everything you told me as a young boy watching you & listening to you and that most memorable day when I met you round the corner from the hacienda opposite the deansgate locks (and you refused to sign my shirt because that’s not who you were) lives long in my memory. Manchester’s most famous man is rightly Alan Turing but to me you are my favourite icon of Manchester and a statue in your honour is fitting for the greatest teacher in the greatest city in the world. It’s HOME and it’s most definitely where the heart is.

Weatherall the Master

Hanggliding and Elvis Costello on Granada Reports. Growing up with Tony W.

I love how Andrew Weatherall is in this. Though he was from Slough, he was a musical pioneer, at the epicentre of acid house. Saw him blow the lid off numerous clubs in the early nineties. Another lost too soon

This is from new order

Can anyone name the guests in the video

Wilson would've cringed at this!

Precioso tema. Tiene un dejo de tristeza. Hermoso...!!!

Art - as an epitaph, perfect.

Incredible. 😖😔💖🙏💖😔😖

Manchester still misses Tony H Wilson. One of our own ❤❤❤

Amazing

2 years ago I lost my best friend to suicide this song make feel close to him, miss you so much Tony x

Saw Mike Garry last night at the Sweetwater in Mill Valley California, Ode to Anthony live was fantastic but its also brilliant to see the piece brought to life by those who knew and loved him

I hope you are all still popping by and reading these comments as you listen.

Only just come across this, both A.W.s form a huge part of my record collection. I've been watching random stuff on KZbin in the past fortnight and the majority of videos have been selections from Britains Got Talent and things like that, it got me thinking did Tony Wilson ever have anything to do with talents shows or programmes seeking singers and musicians? He had faith in alot of musicians that others wouldn't even bother with... I can't imagine the early 90's without Shaun Ryder and Bez - recently my Mum was able to explain to her friends who Shaun and Bez were when they appeared on Gogglebox, because she took an interest in my preferences of music when I was 13. Weatherall came to my attention with Primal Scream's Loaded, he some how captured the Zietgeist of that era in that one track. Smokebelch does not get the credit it fully deserves, I've heard it in Clubs in Ibiza, in films, virtually everywhere! It is timeless and still sounds as fresh today as the first time I heard it way back then...

Came to this again today because Mike Garry is on BBC 6 music right now.Makes me cry every time I listen to it

A fitting tribute to a man that made a difference.

Nice. I was half expecting a melodica solo but I’m not disappointed. Heheh!

Simply LOVE this.

Only discovered this musical masterpiece and have been playing it over and over, something as magical as this only emerges every few years

As a Latina living in America, I first learned about St Anthony through 24HPP and found his story fascinating. How he cared and contributed so much for the Art's in his City/Home and how he felt everyone who rose from Manchester 's Ashes should contribute to them as well. Joy Division/New Order were my introduction to Manchester, but St Anthony was my Professor Emeritus. Well done everyone, Coogan, Sumner, Morris, Gilbert, Iggy, Rowetta, Ryder, Riley, and especially Garry & Duddell on furthering the immortalization of Mr. Manchester, St Anthony . 🙏💜💙❤️

I couldn't put a number on how many times I've heard this but only just realised that Garry is working his way through the alphabet.

Just brilliant

Just been to see Mike Garry and John Cooper Clarke at Bath forum really enjoyed the night.

This poem makes you proud to be a Northener

went to see john Cooper Clark & Mike Garry at the Brewary Arts Centre in Kendal on the 5th may. mike did this poem and i love it. Thanks Mike. RIP SIR Anthony

One of the great regrets in my life is that as a teenager I walked past Tony Wilson, standing on Oxford Road in Manchester, and didn't thank him for everything he was doing for music like I wanted to do.

Is this available on vinyl ?

Amazing tribute

This is incredible. The shots of people with hands clasped behind their back, is that a nod to Liam?

Mr Weatherall making an appearance there , RIP Andy .

RIP Andrew❤

This is Beautiful

❤

Imagine how special you have to be to mean so much to so many

I came here through my love of Andrew Weatherall a couple of days ago. I’ve not been able to stop listening and crying since, nor indeed have I wanted to. As a Glaswegian, whose love of his city is unbounded, I am nevertheless overwhelmed with vicarious pride and gratitude for all the music that has come out of the truly great city of Manchester. A litany of legends, all wrapped up by the maestro. Thank you so much

Spilled a tear over that.

I was lucky enough to see Mike support Dr JCC in Belfast when I first heard this. What a talented guy! I emailed him a couple of verses and he was humble enough to get back to me with feedback. Top guy. Can't wait to see him again at some stage 👌

Tremendous.

Just want it to go on n on ❤️

Lucky enough to have been at Heaton park for the Factory tribute to Martin Hamnett (cities in the park)...feel sorry for todays generation..they will never know..thank you Anthony H Wilson ❤️

See the face, hear the voice . You'll all know the truth soon enough. Xxx

I have no words🙏🏽😘 I listen and listen and have.now to unplug 🥂💐🙏🏽

He left his mark…. AHW RIP.

Discovered this gem yesterday night during the Peter Hook & The Light show where it was played over the PA during an intermission. Goosebump moment!

Tony Wilson is a true hero - music will never be the same again - he allowed artists freedom as he simply loved it!

Peter Hook plays this during the intermission of his shows with The Light...

Heard this a couple weeks ago during a pause at a Hooky concert in Chicago. “Talk to me about Pontius Pilate of Power, Corruption & Lies” leaped out at me. I only know Wilson via portrayals in movies, but this brought me to tears.
