[UberSchweinHund]

The Manics where onto something!

[spacemonkeygif]

this is great... usually, nowadays on youtube u get some bad crappy sound and picture mobile phone bullshit from a gig. but back in the day boot leg stuff was quality!!!!!!

[otemale]

I've read something like that but i'm not shure.

[boardmaster94]

nirvana's version is waaay better,but i think its cool to cover nirvana.kurt rip nirvana forever nirvana = greatest band ever

[Staff777]

RARE

[heyaevery1x]

well.. i think that the original is just awful, but i love this one

oh and james is soo hot here ;)

[lethalpayne1]

this is a fucking rare video lol... what a gem..

[no1gooner2008]

This is awful, but respect to MSP for paying tribute to Kurt on the Anniversary of his death

[imanegativecreep]

It isn't the anniversary of his death though.....

[manicstreetpreacher1]

i bought the whole astoria gig off ebay it was on video and somebody had just recorded both nights with a video camera. its great

[RandyPrincePhilip]

unfortunately they're just the first two nights. the manics played three!!!

[otemale]

Exactly there were 3 nights. The last one was not recorded, only in audio.

[didz83]

I'm sure a few years back (6 0r 7 years ago) someone on the official manics forums said he was selling copies of the last of the Astoria gigs in full.

[shitcasecinema]

Nice one, never seen this before.

What Sean said when interviewed on the repeatfanzine website:

'13. Will the professionally shot live footage from the final shows with Richey at the Astoria in 1994 - as used in the alternate promo video for A Design For Life - ever be officially released on DVD, either as a complete set of 3 gigs, or as 1 show?

"No."'

[aboutdesouffle87]

There a few small clips of the last Richey gig (21/12/94) around; but the whole gig has never been shown, and never will be, according to what Sean said recently in an interview. Which is fair enough i suppose. At least we've got the whole audio and some pictures - I just wish i could have been there!

[LethalDecadence]

there must be SOME more eootage of the last gigs somewhere!

but WHERE?! who's hiding it?

those gigs sounded mental.

anyway. well done you for posting this.

[MotownTrash]

Not really. This is the last time the Manics were captured as a 4 piece. They played another show in this venue the next day. That was the last gig with Richey. Sadly, no footage seems to exist.

I was wondering when will somebody upload the Astoria gig videos. I'm down on my knees and kissing your ass mr. colonslappy.

[rstc8]

you`re right. sorry my mistake. great gig. i`ve got whole gig. def. one of their best

[manicstreetpreacher1]

i have the footage of richeys last gig on video

[rstc8]

you should upload it on youtube immediately ;)

[Anto1]

Anyone know where to get this whole gig?? I had the audio bootleg years ago. It's the best manics gig I've ever heard.

[rstc8]

[clubkidparty]

thanks sooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!
