I was there and the manics were the best band on the day, closely followed by the beautiful south

[@sweetsamy2]

i was brilliant day . after party was good awell x

[@RantingBrummie]

And the Lightning Seeds.

[@festivalpreviewtips]

They were the best by a distance. I remember so many people I knew who went who'd never seen The Manics live before who thought it wasn't live because of the way James Dean Bradfield jumped around the place whilst playing guitar... I told them it was live and he can do that because he's that damn good!!

[@drummingspain207]

I agree. I have to say I was little disappointed with my favourite band, The Seeds! They were meant to headline the HJC but were a little flat. As well as the Manics, another band that got a lot of new fans was the Stereophonics. Loved Smaller too, great 90's grunge band :) Good times... EDIT: just heard it to the end. 13:29 totally nailed it, what a performance!!

[@ChrisKoroley]

I was 17 and had never been to a gig like this before. What a day. Think it went from about 1 or 2 in the afternoon til gone 10. The manics were amazing and the Beautiful South as well. I hadn't liked The Stereophonics but after seeing them here, I thought they were brilliant as well!

[@siouxtodd]

Wow, so lucky! Would have loved to have seen the Beautiful South too! ❤

[@careytony999]

Energy! I don’t think they get the recognition they deserve

[@tinosghost]

100% agree

Bless you for saving this gem, my favourite version of motorcycle emptiness. Epic

[@GreenBitterfly]

Was desperate to go to this, no way I'd have been able to go on my own.

[@conorsmith8551]

Same mate, I was only 8 😢

[@Dnstalford]

I’ve just stumbled across this video and it’s all pouring back. This was my first gig and I don’t think it’s been topped since. Love the manics. Fantastic.

[@quince2285]

Beautiful show.

Thanks for uploading this, thanks to the manics for their continued support to the Justin campaign

[@alexmacleod3728]

I was there that day only 26 at the time

[@SpanishHouse]

they did a cover of 'rain drops keep falling on my head'. Stereophonics played and no one knew they were.

[@johnberkley1721]

I remember the stereophonics came on second after the bootleg Beatles and kelly said , how do you follow the beatles lol

[@festivalpreviewtips]

The Raindrops cover was in the official concert live CD that was released, along with You Love Us
