James Dean Bradfield - Manic Street Preachers Acoustic - Rough Trade East, London 6th November 2012

[@sluice]

Props to the chick who carried Condemned 👍🏻

[@TimFisheroo]

What a class act, humble to a fault and talented as hell.

[@philipnoblethe3rd695]

Condemned to Rock n Roll was so cool. The girl at the back was on it! Love you JDB.

[@manorbier]

I love James Dean Bradfield so much! The best singer of all time

[@liamthurley7522]

Induct them into rock n roll hall of fame now!

[@T1000315]

Don't bother, they just got around to nominating Kraftwerk and ELO, worthless and overrated institution.

Condemned to Rock n Roll was epic! I hope the Manics play the full electric version in future tours

[@MsMivvi]

Brings beautiful separation between vocal and guitar and even if you reach the pitch he sings at, that separation is the next step :) Keep illuminating our lives James, you are one of the best of all time.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

I saw him do a talk at the Hay Festival. He came across so well. I cannot remember the talk now as it was several years ago but I do remember how genuinely nice he was to a fan on the way out who spoke to him about the Manics. He is a class act as are the Manics and of all the great things we have seen at Hay, this was one of the highlights!

[@laurajs]

I watch this REGULARLY!!! The views should be so much higher! ❤ I could even probably quote the whole clip, even the beautiful fan singing! (My fave part!) ❤

[@DanThomasUK]

There’s another similar show I need to put up online

[@LPManic]

@@DanThomasUK Did you ever put it up Dan?
