Paul Draper - Legacy & Being A Girl Live @ Manchester Gorilla 2023

[@リョウ-i7j]

I am glad that even after the band broke up and 25 years have passed, this song can still be heard live and have an audience to sing along！ from Japan with love.

I thought lyric prompts were for Brian Wilson, not Paul draper. I wanted to be there so much, but seeing this makes me treasure the memories I have of the original recording

@paul you cannot permanently write off people like Paul. There was nothing ever like him, no one even close in what they were writing back then or now and still a massive inspiration here for me. Hope things improve for him.

[@Greenypeter]

Good on you, i sense Paul doesnt mind being written off, he will come back even better.. Very true how many people can write like him? And create the music.

Oh my God, has Paul been whacking the McDonalds drive through or what!! Mansun were such a brilliant but massively underrated band, Paul just doesn't cut it by himself, as is blindingly evident here!! This is such a sad legacy - Come back Chad, Stove and Andie, all is forgiven!!

Nice one rich. Karen

[@grantmorriss2557]

Assume legacy is in a different key - vocals sound off on this. Rocking BAG though!

[@mikenorris7866]

I don’t think the person singing in the audience helps!!

[@grantmorriss2557]

@@mikenorris7866 TBH - there are bad crowd vocals at every gig...can't really blame that for out of key and tune. I understand he was sick, so that maybe explains a bit

[@grantmorriss2557]

@@gregchapman3519 yep - Legacy was often down a key. But the voice was still brighter then, and attempted to be varied in the singing style. Now it sounds dull, 1 tone.

[@davefromiom]

He sounds absolutely knackered. Should have just done the Six set & left it at that. Doing a solo set has sapped all his energy & he also wasn't well either.

very sad indeed - given where it started. selfishness.
