[@pakora81]

It's a shame there was a cut before La Tristesse because they did Little Baby Nothing and Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head (they also did You Love Us at that point), I'm gutted the entire thing isn't up on KZbin

[@MichaelD8393]

@@pakora81 Got that right! I can’t find the _LBN_ performance anywhere else on KZbin.

[@richardkruspe2427]

the best band in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mynorthensoul]

Yes fuck yes!!!!!!

[@misakiyoshida]

Most beautiful performance of "This Is Yesterday". Rest in peace, Richey Edwards.

[@mrphilfive]

I was lucky enough to be there and it still stands as the greatest rock gig Ive been to - incredible passion from the band , and the atmosphere was something else..

[@robster-vision475]

I was there too!🤘👌

[@SteveThePster]

I was there three! Undescribably amazing, part band part crowd, both SO up for it

[@mynorthensoul]

The drummer should Benin the list of greatest drummers of all time. He is super underrated

[@richarddunne9802]

As a drummer of 21 years, I disagree. Actually he is one of the reasons I play drums! I started thanks to This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours. They were the first songs I learned on drums. He is a very solid player! And a lot of their success, even from the early days, is due to his steady beat and, obviously, James' immense talent. But when you start talking about the greatest drummers of all time, people like John Bonham, Neil Peart, Danny Carrey, or the great jazz players, he is just not in that bracket, and I'm sure he would say the same. I don't think he swings at all, which is a big part of being a great drummer. You don't have to be a swing/jazz drummer to swing, you can hear it in players like John Bonham, Ringo Starr, and James Brown's incredible drummers. Even when Danny Carrey plays prog rock he sometimes sounds like he's playing hip-hop, it's just in there, understated. Anyway, he has been core to their success and is a very solid rock drummer!

[@daiwilliams5628]

@@richarddunne9802 I agree , technically there are much better drummers , but as you eluded to , they have been making music togeteher for a long time. When you grow up together making music there is a bond that is so strong that it fits like a glove , it's magical and I think that's what the Manics have.

[@richarddunne9802]

@@daiwilliams5628 Yeah, exactly. And while Nicky and Richey were quite basic as musicians, in the beginning, James was a powerhouse of a singer and lead guitar player and Sean's tight drumming kept everything together. Like any good musician he plays to his strengths. He knows what he's good at and he does it well! Very well, indeed. His timing is excellent and I don't think I've ever heard him miss a beat. I love his drumming on The Holy Bible too, a lot of interesting little ideas that really fit the vibe of the songs.

[@drumtracksdirect]

@@richarddunne9802 Your opening paragraph effectively mirrors me! I disagree as well. Sean was a great starting point for me and when it came time to move on, I did. He's a pretty dispassionate drummer I feel, so bring on the hate. It's all very simple 2 and 4 and single stroke roll stuff, but he's had his moments. I feel he applied his style the best on THB and JFPL and played his best live drums during the TIMTTMY era. I haven't followed the band since 2010, so haven't heard a great deal since then, but when I check in on live videos (I'll throw this in there) - Sean, has there ever been a drummer who plays so minimalist and yet has such a massive kit? Jeez, got enough crashes up there mate?!

[@jemima216]

Love the Cuban flags. Solidarity. And the man at the front with the balaclava on with his name Rhys, aka Faster Top of the Pops and James's headwear 1994.

[@mackin26]

Fuck me, I love this band more than any other. GnR got me playing guitar and making a life with it but the Manics are just something else untouchable.

[@strongmanvhs8125]

Best live version of Motorcycle Emptiness I've heard, most times they are playing that song too fast.

[@xaviertrilla9636]

Absolutely

[@ingridtopley1232]

what a way to finish the festival, won't ever forget it!

[@revol113]

Playing Die in the Summertime as #2 on the setlist at Glastonbury....god bless the Manics.

[@marywalsh1770]

Love this so much 😍😍😍😍

[@barryrowlings83]

I was crowd surfing just before the last Design For Life Chorus. Seen the Manics 20 odd times, this was probably the best

[@robster-vision475]

It was awesome wasnt it

[@elivate6416]

Best gig I've ever experienced. Who turned on the rain machine just as D4L got to the chorus? Whoever did was a GENIUS

[@chorchctes3490]

Shame they didn’t play Faster which is my favourite.

[@MarcioSilva-ssiillvvaa]

Pure rocknroll. Noof said.

[@alotofmilesfromhome]

Masses in its era of being ruined by fairground keyboard shit.

[@tjreeve9024]

They got a keyboard player because they didn’t want to replace richey :(

[@DanteDiCarloMusic]

So is You Love Us, organ sounds so wrong

[@TheIkaraCult]

Lets not forget they got a song called The Masses Against The Classes to number one back when getting to number one meant something. I think we can deal with some keyboards

[@drumtracksdirect]

True, though in the case of this broadcast and all the rest not overseen by the band, this is the broadcast sound engineer's interpretation of how they should sound.

[@Olivershawmusic]

Fucking love this x

My mate Phil put them on in a local pub when they were unknown.he said they were crap.how things have changed!

[@NickHeth]

Yer I was there with my son.

[@garethjohn6067]

Great to hear "take the skinheads bowling".originally by camper van Beethoven.

[@chernn2463]

Sucks no one remembers how good this gig was because Radiohead performed one of their legendary sets right after

[@gary1961]

I've seen the Manics more than ten times. If Radiohead started playing in my back garden, I'd close the curtains and put a Manics album on full blast. There's no comparison.

[@scruffyp9480]

I'm sure plenty of people remembered how good it was.

[@mattlord97]

@@gary1961 why does there have to be a comparison, they're both amazing bands in their own right good for different moods

[@barryrowlings83]

Radiohead played the Saturday night. Manics played Sunday evening before Moby.

The Trumpet player fucked up Ocean Spray. It’s like it’s his first time playing it in rehearsal.

Nice to see Volodymyr Zelenskyy front the Manics in order to address Glastonbury of his nations plight!

[@mihaelanegritu1709]

It's funny ! I was thinking the same.But we must tell the people,it's a joke 😊 .I don't think many people ,realized ,what you wanted to say.

[@TheIkaraCult]

The Masses Against the Classes Number one back when it mattered

[@Tomtoms-tomtoms]

Deadly set.. but for THIS IS YESTERDAY kick your playback speed up to 1.25 for perfection.. it’s frustratingly slow otherwise 😊

[@ichbintal536]

No

[@TonyMartin-xg1rd]

Yeah I get that too man 👍🏼

[@underneonloneliness2]

It's weird JDB only used his signature white les paul for just one song

[@PantheonLincoln]

I've heard a few possible reasons for that. The most reasonable one is that his main white les paul was in need of fixing up and probably wasn't up for doing full gigs with, hence the Sunburst one here. He still needed an acoustic sound for Tolerate (and it was still only him on guitar back then), so he still brought it out for that.

[@AttackWithStyle]

Over 20 years i have loved this band , real band. Gold Against The Soul era was when i jumped on the M.S.P train . Everything Must Go was the last great Album they made , no more solid Albums from that point on though.
