Happy Mondays, Step On, live at Glastonbury 2000

[@amraps]

For such a train wreck, this is epic!!!!!

[@lisamartins5287]

Loved every minute of it!

[@RoundaboutTRVL]

An absolute epic mess! Wish I was there!

[@abdallateefschannel6206]

That's why they were so great. They were shallow. They became a shambles. But they took themselves and Manchester to the top. The millennium Glastonbury

[@martinforrest5261]

Still one of my favourite gigs of all time! So funny and chaotic. Perfect Glastonbury band, on in the afternoon before Bowie.

[@soapsportsnews5727]

All about the chaos. 😂

[@PaulHolman-sh5ts]

Absolute legends never forget that for the music and times they gave us back in the 90s and the kaos they brought

[@davidfielding1369]

They changed the whole Manchester scene along with The Inspirals and The Stone Roses. I've never seen a bad gig. Couldn't give shit what they are on. It's their business. X

[@nigelponder8121]

This is the year before the fences went up. We were up on the hill watching this shambles, looking and feeling equally 'spent' and shambolic. it was fucking amazing and i've never seen so many people in one place, in all my days. 120k tickets? There must have been 200k people just watching the Pyramid Stage - coming down from Chemical Brothers the night before, waiting for Bowie to see us home. Rolf Harris was on at some point, but let's leave that one...

[@UsHere-gb6mg]

I don’t even remember the nineties 😂

[@vSpiikey]

1:36 The only key that Shaun can hit is a key of Mandy, ffs

[@Chrisamusic1]

"yer twisting my melon, man". .. Perfect.

[@Chrisamusic1]

Yes, I can explain. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Bez brought a manic energy to the band, and live, that energy was totally infectious to the audience. The Mondays didn't give a toss about quality of musicianship or fancy song structures. They were all about feel, groove, passion and, yes, energy. Subsequently Bez was as important to the band as any other member. He's a lovely feller as well. tells a great story (read his book 'Freaky Dancing') and for me and many, deserves his spot as an icon of a crazy era.

[@andiharper4498]

Lucky the band can play their instruments!!

[@horseon4730]

Shaun n rowetta out their nuts fallin out n that 😂😂😂😂😂

This is so bad it makes it brilliant

What a hot mess. Crap and Brilliant at the same time. Long live the Mondays.

[@rideshareguy5.0ridesharead46]

OMG!!! This is horrible, but I’m so jealous that I wasn’t there. That looks awesome!!!

[@C.S.T]

they covered eachothers asses lol its so bad its brilliant, legend memories, pity i cant remember much though lol thank you for posting

[@nioengland]

that was a very good year.. we all had a good few weeks after that.. glastonbury is a special place

[@RastaSaiyaman]

3:50 Rowetta going "You're the best" and Bez turning around on cue. "You're the Bez."

[@colinwilson5168]

I was there.What a weekend for what i can remember.Legends x

[@calvsparrow3486]

the happy mondays to me symbolise the early 90's. the drug culture, the not giving a fuck other than getting wasted n having a good time. ppl may slate them n their performances. but they are the early 90's.

[@Eddie-ed9yi]

Absolutely Calv. Well said.

[@theshamanarchist5441]

Yeah man. Go and watch the live version of 'Performance', done at Granada TV studio and introduced by their manager Tony Wilson. Epic!

[@RealEarlofEssex]

What a shambles, but it’s gold 😂. Saw them live at Wembley, supporting Oasis in 2000.

My eardrums are now bleeding, not an hope in hell he would even pass an X Factor audition with that voice.

My mate said to a landlady in Middleton "you are twisting my melon man" and she barred him. It was hilarious. X

I think this is the one where Shaun spent like 48 hours smoking heroin locked in the luggage cargo of their trailer before this performance

[@warrenjones9665]

Looooove it!!!!! 🎶

[@davidfielding1369]

Saw them support Oasis at the Reebok stadium and I think they were a hard act to follow. I've followed thenm from the beginning. Shaun came in the Brunswick in iddleyon and Robbie Malone asked Shau to sign his wall as he lived the back to. He had had 30odd valium and spelt his name wrong. But that's what you expect. They are legends. Great musicians. Rosetta has a great voice. Sexy as well. Xx

[@stevieb1295]

Roweta amazing

[@simonpringle6599]

Seeing Ryder walk off like that shows how fucked up he was at the time. Glad he's healthy again.

Any chance to get that particular one in stereo somewhere? Looked for it for ages but no luck so far

[@basedsouljah]

High quality? I'm not sure. But you could use one of those "youtubetomp3" websites to convert this video to an Mp3 file in Stereo!

[@0kurgan1]

@@basedsouljah Thanks for your answer, but would that work since the audio track in this video still is simple mono? I was hoping to find an upload of this very gig somewhere in stereo (you easily can hear a huge difference especially with headphones)

[@basedsouljah]

@@0kurgan1 Ahhhh I didn't even notice until you brought that up! Hmm... there's gotta be some way to stereo this up. I'll even take it into FL Studio and mess around with it and see if i can engineer it haha. I'll keep you posted! God knows I'm back here listening to this almost daily 😁

[@MiniTheVinx]

OOh, were this lot there in 2000? Didn't know. It's the only year I went - got in free, stayed in the travellers field. Didn't see any of the bands. Spent most of the time at my mates raves in the travellers field. It was a great vibe. Won't go back now it's gone corporate.

yea 20 past six on the sunday ,packed ,we were parked just off the travellers field in a blue transit by the reggae system ,we were by the van most days brilliant times ,sadly like the big sites/free festivals gone from the uk forever

Go bam

Outta tune!

[@version736ha2]

I was there. Monday's were a bit shambolic, as much as I love them (only two from the original band here if you don't count Rowetta)

[@StanKPhlaps]

This was Happy Mondays and Black Grape together for a one-off.

[@version736ha2]

+Mundolio Knows the Mondays with Kermit then

[@StanKPhlaps]

No, it was black grape who were then joined by the rest of the happy Mondays. It was the first time Ryder was allowed to perform as/with the Mondays since Factory imploded. A copyright or something had run out and they performed together.

[@RastaSaiyaman]

Yeah, it was more a Black Grape performing Happy Mondays tunes kind of show. I expected them to launch into "Kelly's heroes" or "In the name of the father" at any time.

[@version736ha2]

​@@StanKPhlaps was Mondays listed on the bill that day
