The Happy Mondays - Performance

Performed on Tony Wilson`s OSM

[@bunhoyle5401]

The Happy Mondays at their absolute best, I always default to this video to remember them in their prime. RIP Paul

[@ewanmcarthur2071]

Gone too soon

[@Genedefekt1916]

Absolutely shit hot here .

[@the_egg_man492]

Guitar is on point

[@arond88]

They absolutely smashed it here, nice and raw.

[@rickastley4706]

2:54 this part is pure fire

[@jonnyhatesjazz]

Shaun rocking the Dierdre Barlow look

[@cunning-stunt]

Free the Weatherfield one!

[@BigGus111]

One of my favourite mondays songs. They totally nail this one here. This is them at their peak.

[@aureol40012]

Yep, an oft overlooked classic. Have they ever played it since 2012?

[@laylapontello]

This is not for anybody....THIS IS PURE GENIOUS. This is what I call groundbreaking, the total opposite of 2000s sounds...thanks Happy Mondays and Stone Roses, you saved my life. LEGIT.

[@stoopshills1]

Totally agree mate genius, remember watching this and totally blew my mind, a life changing experience...

[@rickastley4706]

this solo at 2:55 is the best guitar solo in the fooking history of music delivered by an unknown fooking bloke with hair loss xD

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Fucking right guys Shit hot

[@chriscorker5634]

Hot shot!

[@jasonbudge8370]

Mate. I totally feel the same abut the Mondays, 16 year old council estate kid when Bummed came out and it spoke to me like nothing else. Both saved and shaped my life and wouldn't have it any other way. Shaun Ryder, Poet of his generation!

[@chets808]

every band needs good chemistry, and Bez was a great chemist....love that line.

from 1988 to 91 it was great time the music the drugs the whole scene was amazing and Mondays fitted in perfect .

[@Jimmy_Cooper]

Best era for music ... by far

[@Wilkofantastico]

88 91, you're right, acid house as well

[@agentblackacid]

Mark Day is one my favourite guitarists ever, i was listening to Slayer and Metallica back in them days until I heard this shit, blew me away and turned me on to new sounds. I love his style.

[@derkeheath5172]

Martin Hannet (their first producer) got so frustrated with Mark Day's playing that he brought in an expert guitarist to try to teach Day some basic rules of guitar playing, but the expert flat-out refused to teach him, saying, "This guy doesn't have a clue what he's doing, but it's absolutely wonderful!"

[@grizcuz]

@@derkeheath5172 Close, but not quite. Tony Wilson wanted Vini Reilly to produce their first album [John Cale ultimately did it. Hannett produced Bummed]. So Vini went to see the band, but didn't like them and called them "scumbags" and "the worst kind of bastards". This is Vini's quote about Mark Day: "That guitarist, you know what Tony [Wilson], he has no idea how to play guitar, no idea what he's doing at all. That's the strange thing, because what he is doing, or rather what he's trying to do, is potentially the most inventive stuff that anyone has played for at least ten years."

[@iker8010]

​​@@grizcuz Mark Day came up with some of the most creative, cool yet simple riffs. I'd take a guy like him over a super technical virtuoso any day

[@grizcuz]

@@iker8010 I wasn't having a go at Mark Day. Only quoting what Vini Reilly [another exceptional guitarist] said about him. I think Day is criminally underrated. He's rarely mentioned in the pantheon of great Mancunian guitarists, like Marr and Squire frequently are. But he's their equal in my eyes and I've been a Mondays fan since 1986 when I first saw them supporting New Order.

[@iker8010]

​@@grizcuz Wow that's incredible. You've been hearing them since the Tart Tart era? I'm 24 and got heavily into the Mondays when I was 18, first song I listened of them was probably Loose Fit.

[@warshipsatin8764]

i love this video, man. the way he approaches the mic is one of the coolest things ive ever seen

[@aureol40012]

Yeah, I’ve love Liam but he’s an amateur compared to this!

[@TheDreamer1980]

Liam totally copied that off Shaun Ryder, he didn't hold the mic like that for long but for me he looked better holding the mic, Liam was well into the happy mondays around this time

[@amoeba23]

best organ solo ever ; ) total shambles and exactly how it should have been!!!!

[@hippriest9448]

Millennial in current year: I’m just living my best life Bez: hold my bag of ecstasy. Careful, it’s heavy

[@markmetcalfe93]

Not sure how this video has managed to evade me for so long, but I haven't stopped watching it since discovering it yesterday. absolutely awesome, wish we had bands like this these days!

[@David888B]

I didn't expect Mark Day to be playing a Mesa/Boogie! It must have been loud as hell. Great tone and great playing. This is better than the album version.

[@fastn1]

When I saw this on TV it changed my life it was an epiphany. There were no pretensions about the Mondays and they wore street clothes and played fucked up funky tunes you could dance to stoned

[@thedoc1210]

what a great band getting right into it.

[@MG3AEH]

Agreed; it was Mark Day's rolling house-music influenced rhythms that defined the Monday's sound.

[@jtw332]

I remember watching this and was instantly obsessed with the Mondays

[@J8D2]

Moose was in class of his own. Most inventive guitarist to come out of the madchester thing. The least 'rockstar' looking bloke in the world but still cool as owt.

[@nickjohnson710]

I work with a guy who has meet him a few times his girlfriend friend knows moose's daughter.... Says he's cool as fuck! and pretty modest to boot 👍👍👍

[@nickjohnson710]

THIS IS MUSIC....🙏

[@nolanlamond2439]

Underrated for sure

[@stevenmason4150]

I was about to link a few videos and message my brother with the same point (but couldnt be arsed)... then I saw what you wrote. Simply put, its not what Mark Day plays, but how he knows what to play in order to contribute to the sound as a whole ... okay many people know how to do that .. but when the music i.e. the happy mondays, cuts across so many genres, to do that is a genuine art. It is an art that doesnt conform to what a guitarist ought to be doing, so it goes completely unnoticed.

[@ATXviIIIe]

Still is!!! Yeah Moose and the Mondays are the merry men

[@MattMcKimmie]

Happy Xmas 2023....what a tune RIP PAUL RYDER

[@Noodles37UK]

Bez, easiest and best job description EVER : )

[@nezbit8989]

This band is the soundtrack of my youth with my mates getting stoned 👌😎

[@macjam9090]

the boys at their best. Was it really that long ago. The interplay between Shaun and Bez is great. The band was kicking.

[@68majortom]

rest in peace Horse your Bass was massively underrated so long dude!!

[@swfcocs1]

the Mondays were tight as a unit,and underrated musically-live they were either amazing or a total catastrophe-never in the middle

[@arturo-marcelodenisdead4103]

They were true and music was ahead in time maybe a decade. Everyone drunk in this fountain of these outlaws.

[@bkooo5363]

Too much class for this world. Proof that great music doesn't need more than a great performance.

[@caneandabel]

Vividly remember seeing this and being blown away!

[@handsomedevil98]

I thought when I saw the Roses do Waterfall on this show was epic!! as good as that was, this just has more of a edge! Modays always had that edge over Roses, both great!

[@andrewbarron7690]

Always been one of my favorite music videos.

you just dont get tv like this these days!

Bez as improved since and even added a tambourine to his act....Pure Class.

[@two-tricky]

Absolutel quality. Hapoy days brought to you live to make your Mondays a Hapoy Monday. 😂

[@KIDAmnesiacBends]

this is the perfect blend of rock and dance music by them...

[@josephdilorenzo7791]

great watching this they really are one of a kind these guys bez has charisma you could not have the mondays without him.

Coldplay songs are usually all the same You hear the intro and think this sounds OK, you then realise it's Coldplay. After a week of hearing it on the works radio you want to kill the band using the CD of the current single.

[@eliascoldplay]

Better than the studio version for me, one of the best live songs ive ever heard. That ringing guitar does remind me of a Fall song though, I can't think which one and its doing my head in

[@90sRaveon]

Mondays at their peak here, just about shows everything what they were about. Shaun & Bez doing what they do and Mark Day making it look so easy.

[@Mr130271]

I think this is the best track they ever played & the video is an absolute riot!! Everyone enjoying themselves & Bez’s best dance ever,wish I could turn the clocks back to this time & have Paul Ryder with us & watching him perform again R I P 😞

[@jasonpfinch]

It's sad what rock success does to people. Shaun looks so bloody good in this video. Lean, keen, nicely dressed, sharp haircut. Look what happened to him. If they'd only had local success he'd probably have looked a sight better now and not become a joke the way he did in the 90s. Also the thing of shooting them in a plain white studio is brilliant.
