Mansun, The Chad Who Loved Me, Live at Brixton Academy, 1998

[MATTDAY]

FKN CLASS

[CalumnMcAulay]

mansun were a gem of a band - what happened to them?

[7gatchaman]

best intro by a rock band i ever saw. then into ski jump nose. time to pogo!

[ddartool]

i love you

[ddartool]

elegantly

[Lavazzacuppa]

christ i wish i'd seen em live while they were.

[britpopok]

JUST AMAZING

LOVE MANSUN

[vikingmog]

a truly brilliant band. it would be class if they got back together. aslong as they didn't play electric man man that song sucked ass

[tikifulwood]

@vikingmog ...lol. never a truer word said.! The only good thing about it was the dodge charger in the video

[relevation0]

check out "you only live twice"

[cheersgloria]

the live version is as good as record

[Johndale99]

Such a wonderful melody, skewed by unhappiness and misery. You can see Mr Draper's rage. Very dark.

[Encrust]

Still can't get over how amazing this really is. The song always spoke to the soul but this version is something else entirely. Sounding like a major twat online is important to me.

[hand2gland]

How did talent like this go unnoticed by mainstream, saddens me.

[Encrust]

This is fuckin genius.

[theoportoman]

Yeah I saw them live in Liverpool and they just played the songs head down as fast as they could - pretty disappointing. A strange legacy. Some really good tracks with some ambition. This is their finest hour.

[nobby1997]

NME tent, T-in-the-park, back in the day.

Fucking blinder of a show, and smashed guitars as well.

[40harb]

awesome awesome hairs on back of neck on edge again

[SaintEuchrid]

i was born too late...

[ssaabbuu]

Tell me about it, im 14 and im gutted i never got to see em!

[rakaus]

hahaha, tell me abut it! im from México! they never came to play here :(

mansun's shows was a really trip to connect yourself with a mistical feeling.... i relly hope a reunion of this band....i know it will never be, but i hope.....

[K33f4]

I agree on that one; they're OK live, but I don't think they do their records justice

[eric02125]

Saw them front row being general admission at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston opening for the Sea Horses in 97, with respect to John Squire, Mansun stole the show.

[prezzakid]

Wow man i was in Boston at the time and missed the show. wish i was there. Nice to see i am not the only Mansun admirer in Boston.

[hooker1uk]

one of the only few songs which space me out, feeling angry or sad this sorts me out.

[borostu]

outstanding

[Jason1an]

Could this be the best start to a gig ever? Had my spine tingling.....btw...I was there!!

[balazarius]

absolutely came across this track on one of my brothers cds "hello! best of 1997" an been in love with it ever since.

[mansunian]

thanks to Youtube

thanks to internet

so that i can see this concert.

its my only precious to have MANSUN as my fav band of all time.

thx to ebay... finally ive complete all Mansun Single!

ps: i think about a reunion concert. Isn't it nice?

[peopleschampion007]

This is fucking awesome. I must disagree though, their best performance was Leeds festival, NME stage, headliners, 1997. That was truly the best gig I've ever seen and I was only 16.

[GuinnessGaz]

Reading Alleycat 1997 ;-)

[Superstar7]

@mansunian

they will never re unite

[shortyktfc]

WOW! Never seen this track live!

Sounds superb despite the lack of strings. I recon if they made it big big BIG, they'ld have been a 40 piece orchestra behind them and that would have blown me away.

Still my favourite opening track of ANY album.

[etagloh]

It's such a cracker, isn't it? Ten years on, I'm quite certain that the track's transition into vocals on the album still defines bits of my musical taste.

This is a great live version. And I still hope beyond hope that I'll get to see it live with full orchestra.

[grandmastarflash]

without doubt the best ever opener!

[ahzayn]

thanks for posting this. I first heard this song on a Q magazine giveaway CD. Great song...

[pixiespider]

i just bought that CD in a charity shop and rediscovered this track!!
