Manic street preachers - la tristesse durera

[2010welshy]

shame about the sound on this,richey should've just been barely audible!

[DomsiDepp]

Young James was sooooo beautiful!

[andreasbjoernmadsen]

wtf... toiletpaper???

[iamjoshandyouaredaft]

James' scream of "sigh" after the solo gave me ghoosebumps!

[SuperMegabar]

Lol you can tell how all of em are looking like "oh for fucks sake"

[simoneburton]

Sean's face! "Oh fuck".

[TheIkaraCult]

this is hilarious, Richey on lead guitar on his best ever lyric.

[JormaX]

Richeys style is brilliant!!I want that shirt! + haircut and all of it ffs!!

[Upeter2]

a wee bit of a fuck up, but still brilliant all the same!

[pullontheball]

Feile festival, Co. Tipperary

Forget Brian lohan, Dj carey, Henry shefflin, John Mullane, Brian Whelahen, Eoin Kelly and all the rest. Richey Edwards is the greatest person to grace the hallowed turf of Semple stadium

[riw1989]

ha! love the way that when Richey's first guitar bit goes on the sound goes 'BOOOOM'!

[mjsayles]

TV broadcast coverage often goes off the monitor sounds (i.e. what the band hears), not what the crowd hears. They are often VERY different.

[Barwee]

The Manics circa '90 - '94 were often amusing when playing live, but they usually meant to be. This clearly wasn't intentional, but amusing all the same, and a precious watch for Manics fans.

[KosmicFlux]

Man, you can't hear James' solo. Terrible sound setup.

[LemonyChagall]

James seems angry and Sean's worried/amused expression is win.

[owletc]

Whoever below said this was in Tipperary is right, I think. There's a video here somewhere of the same performance, introduced by Nicky Wire who says they're at Feile.

[Doctorgoatboy]

So Richey was plugged in then.

[fraserdees]

This was recorded at Milton Keynes Bowl, supporting Bon Jovi in 1993

[msgr33nday]

james looks like malcoms elder brother from malcom in the middle...xD

[Klaasdebus]

@msgr33nday

I think he really looks like Sting!

[scarfy23]

ths is not glastonbury

[MrNimr0d]

gotta love the look on sean's face :P

[SrtaPelo]

On 0:34 Richey himself put his amp on and then he smiles, no? :D

(sorry 'bout my bad english)

[carlosthegaucho]

Too bad you don't hear guitars, great live performance as usually though.

[fuckamericanidiot]

oh that richey, always leaving his used toilet paper around the place

[cataloguetown]

Appropriate- great lyricist tho he was - even his greatest fans would admit he was a shit guitarist! Luv ya Richey all the same! Peace to all manics fans past present and future!

[fuckamericanidiot]

@cataloguetown toilet paper....richey's shit guitaring....explain

[cataloguetown]

Somebody explain it please. I'm busy wiping my own arse at the moment.

[vikingmog]

or was it reading

[gazthethird80]

this is from Tipperary, Ireland i'm fairly sure - i almost got to go, i was only 13 - still, got to see them in Belfast the next year....

[vikingmog]

@gazthethird80 they are playin belfast again i missed them last time had to work. last time i seen them was at vital 2006 or 07 i'm not sure it was basically a greatest hits set.

[vikingmog]

naw lad it's from glastonbury 93 i have the bootleg. i haven't seen them since tennants vital 2007. need to see the boys in full flight again

[MademoiselleLucija]

blond James  :D

[nasalscarecrow]

This was Phoenix I think, not Glastonbury.

[braddersthemod]

proof he could actualy play

[MaryAuksi]

I love Nicky xD

This song is awesome.

[Kevjin]

Also Nicky starts playing the bassline to Patrick Bateman at the end :)

[boeingbloke777]

@Kevjin, Well noticed (not being sarcy here btw)

[Kevjin]

Cheers dude.

[Kevjin]

You can actually hear Richey's guitar more than James' here! WTF haha ;)

[13elena]

haha their faces xD CLASSIC

[craig1459]

Don't recall the Manics playing Glatso 93. If they did - pissed I missed them lol

[jrmarrero96]

They played several festivals in 1993, They didnt play Glastonbury till 94.

[HeadlightMorningGlow]

FFS JDB sounds so brilliant here as well; had the potential to be my favourite performance as well! Typical.

[hofsteveO]

Nicky at 1:13 is like..."WTF is happening?..."

[MJGmsp]

And Sean at 1:20 HAHAHA!!

[Hawklord4000]

Haha, yeah it makes me chuckle as well!. He really must of been pissing himself! :)

[hofsteveO]

If you notice..the soundman at the end turns richies amp(s) down......

[Comedian80]

Richey did ok, to be fair, for someone whose playing has been mocked over the years. Poor old Sean's and James' faces were priceless!

[street00preacher]

well la tristesse durera was one of the few songs richey played in the recording of

[mirbeau111]

The only recording! And one g chord at that...

[Marcelespinoza]

i retreat into self-pity, it's so easy!!!

[perpitbla5]

Funny to see James widdling away at 2:26 but not hearing any of it.

[PabloPJ86]

Damn... first time I really really hear Richey playing. Not as bad as he thought, well, he's only playing basic chords, but anyway. I don't see a reason why they had to keep his guitar so low during concerts, they just had to find a balance between guitar and lead guitar... whatever, Manics played and play great live :)

[PabloPJ86]

as I thought* damn, I should revise my comments before posting them... xD

[JormaX]

haha richey has some funny moves at the beginning of the song :D

[hofsteveO]

..I think its the shock of realising just how FUCKING LOUD his giutar is...!!

[mellowNdark]

He did ok with the first two... then it went downhill

[3MACE3]

can someone upload more of this on youtube

[Dext37Fielding]

note 1 of James early engagement rings, when he was close to marriage in the 90's, to be fair for a backing guitarist, Richey doesn'r sound bad here, but nowadays Mr Wayne Murray is best

[bachpsychosis]

That's not an engagement ring. Engagement rings are worn on the left hand. The ring seen here is a ring that James has worn on the ring finger of his right hand since the early days of the band. Look at any picture of James Dean Bradfield from any time during the band's history and he will be wearing that ring.

[Tigerkatzitatzi]

Signed! He is always wearing that ring!

[cancerparty]

Oops, looks like the sound guy thinks Richey is lead guitar. Bless.

[hofsteveO]

..same happened in Glasto 94..

I think Richie must have bunged the sound guy a tenner!

[EditDoctor]

You've been able to see that same look on James face on recent tours, every time Nicky attempts to sing.

[starsxrockets]

James looks like he's about to cry at one point :D

And is that toilet paper stuck to their guitars?

[mychematthedisco]

Aw bless james looks so worried the whole time he can't concentrate!

yeah the guitar sound is totally buggered.

silly mistake.

[fenderwatkins1992]

I bet james is thinking im gunna F****** kill the sound tech lol

[hofsteveO]

..The same incident happened at Glasto 94....Check out "Yes" Richie is particularly loud on that one...In fact Richie is almost louder than JDB for the whole gig.

[internetmale]

sean cracking up :*****)

[paulsmartialarts]

Richey doesn't actually do THAT badly! But then again, his parts on this song are piss-easy for even a novice. But yes, sometimes the guy at the side isn't the lead player...

[didz83]

he does fucking well! Infact this is the best i've ever heard richey play guitar, held it together brilliantly.

[toadape]

Never tought Richey was that good of an guitarrist. He was the brain behind the band, not the musician.

[attentionaddicts]

Richey only has to play 2 chords on this song. its nice to actually him turned up for once!

[IngvildSofie]

That's hilarious, poor James looks so worried:p

[straightlinesisgay]

hahaha what a classic

James looks so concerned. Sean is trying not to laugh. Jmaes looks to the side stage. At the very start, Richey realises how loud he is turned up. classic

[sinno666]

Im 90% sure this is from Milton Keynes bowl (Bon Jovi)

[JDBGUITAR85]

think richey guitar is tune up as the lead guitarist

[fenderwatkins1992]

what happenend to james's guitar and it was lucky that richey could play guitar cos nicky dosent really have his bass loud lol

[musketeerwang]

I'm on headphones and the bass is pretty clear. James' guitar is low as hell though. Shame.

[VCK9009]

If it wasn't for James's Guitar I'd say this is the best performance of La Tristesse!

[joose2001]

BTW I think this was Reading 93 / 94

Wasnt Glastonbury in 93

[VCK9009]

I think it's Phoenix 1993.

[TIJ91]

Haha, Nicky looks like Johnny Depp playing Willy Wonka! Hilarious, amazing to see Richey actually playing for once.

[jim952]

so richey CAN play guitar!!!!! superb performance!

[Albran]

He could only play chords, really.

[jonbate]

Heh, you always hear so much Richey on festival footage cos the soundman doesn't realise that he should be quieter than James... awesome performance though, sounds much more punk than usual!

[luaunderground]

love it, just love it. james looks awsome and richey, well, richey was just sheer coolness

[prestolovesvarla]

Outstanding! James famous bleach-head look... aparently trying to mimic Lou Reid!
