No slag on Green Day, but 'tis a sad state of affairs that stateside mention of Manics gets a head cock of "Who?" and they've been at it just as long and are arguably more brilliant, especially now as a (sadly, you are missed Richey, if not onstage as a living human) trio compared to Green Day.
Mind you, if it came down to "spare one, slit the others' throats," Mike, Billie Joe and Tre would all be fucking PEZ dispensers. Fuckin' love James, Nicky and Sean!
This is what happens when it's a free random draw for tickets rather than a proper gig. You had to apply for tickets through the BBC, so of course a bunch of people went "Oh wow! Free shit!" rather than actual fans who would want to witness this homecoming for the band. Yeah, I'm fucking bitter I couldn't get tickets for this one.
Should be played faster but can't really knock em, seen as how they prob couldn't remember most of it, if they aint played it in 20odd years. Still great!
If it aint in their setlist anymore, then it should be. Still sounds good years later :D

Wish they'd have played this at Wolverhampton in May. Would have been an amazing experience.

Whats wrong with the crowd? If they had played this in Leeds it would have taken the roof off.

I was so shocked when they sang this.
I have been shouting for this song for years everytime i have seen them live...
I was gutted when i saw this on TV. I wish i was there.
I hope they play it a bit more often than every 22 years! :o)
