Manic Street Preachers - Faster (Glastonbury 1994)

[mandingo1]

What happened to the sound at 1:00... :(

[Kumiorava06]

@mandingo1 Don't know, but it was like that on the DVD this was ripped from. Too bad really.

[braeduin]

I know I believe in nothing but it is MY nothing!

[joydivision808]

shame they got boring fuckin ace here

[MrGareth1980]

If you like em you gotta love this!

[Littlestevieboy]

The Manics at their prime...

[joydivision808]

love them then now well ...............

[MrMattreed77]

blistering, the most incendiary, punch in the face, pure vitriol start of ant gig ever, genius

[nick12hudders]

its not OMG its OH MY FUCKING GOD. James Dean nodding in acceptance that this is the best opening to a Glastonbury gig ever.

[orkitecht85]

Should build a bypass over that there place...

[joebstarsurfer]

That was fun they kicked arse mini me was there loving it.

[cheekymonkey242]

Mr Bradfield, Wire, Edwards and Moore you are gods

[idedesign]

Why isn't glasto like this anymore?

[PrincessVali]

The thing is that it's really fucking hard to focus in on just his playing when you've got everything else playing. Especially if you're like me and don't know shit and can't tell the difference between James' and Richey's guitar.

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

Richey only mimed in the real early days.. he got a lot better at the end, which is why he's turned up so loud here.There's one video floating around where James' guitar dies during Motown Junk and Richey plays about half the song by himself. :)

[PrincessVali]

@ohfoolishworkerbee can you send me the link for it please? :)

[iwishiwastaller7]

@ohfoolishworkerbee Reckon you could find it?

[TheTyrants1]

If it was actually possible to marry a band in an era...

[tinfoilsandwich]

The Cannibal Holocaust of music gigs.

[comfortcomes1984]

LOVE.

[dazzyboy74]

i was down at the front and believe me it was awesome. the best performance of Glasto'94. Shame Richey would only be with us for another 8 months.

[clowninamicrowave]

Just had to watch this as an antidote after catching a brief moment of U2 at Glasto on BBC3... (shudder!)

[JRebG]

Fuckin' amazing <3

[joebstarsurfer]

the line for glastonbury is shit now.this was so good.

[SeriouslyRandom20]

Amazing got be one of the best songs ever

[wardy0712]

james looks as cool as fuck

[eojoeoj]

The greatest bands have a number of defining points, for the Manics this is one of many.

[joebstarsurfer]

i loved that gig fav of all the glastonberry gigs

[redheadedkitty]

I could watch this over and over! Probably one of the best Glasto performances!!!

[joebstarsurfer]

thats was fucking brilliant .

[mistersnaredrum]

i used to dress JUST like what Richey is wearing here.

[jkthemod]

too bad... that most of "man-un-kind" would never understand this. The passion/fury, the ferocious delivery of the "live set"... the poke at PiL (if you know about THEM, you know that everything is a poke... a hint, or a reference) the wardrobe selection and the image projected all connect. Watch this twice... and take it all in. BEAUTIFUL!

[leonardotube]

Public Image at the beginning!

[joydivided23]

At 3:09: "learned how to spit! I fucking love the spit!" lol

[KosmicFlux]

That's ferocious! 

[handicappedhoods]

This sounds multitudes better than the studio version. It's got a lot more energy.

[BeenyG]

wtf @ 1:01?!? JDB's guitar suddenly drops to about half volume. Can the sound man not tell he's playing all the main guitar parts? Almost ruins a stunning performance

[donners1982]

@BeenyG i think it's the recording just quietening to be honest - sean loses the 'snap' to his drums too, and listen to nicky's bass compared to the opening bars - damn i wish i'd been there though....

[TheIkaraCult]

how jdb managed to coil songs around those words ill never know.

[comfortcomes1984]

Awesome. Can't wait to see them again in a few months - twice!!

[JudgeYourself53]

AMAZING!!!

[braddersthemod]

haha, JDB looks like a fat batman

[Wakisazhi]

Oh shit, Richey actually playing guitar instead of miming! It actually sounds pretty nice if you focus in on it. Shame he didn't play often, but his lyrical genius definitely made up for that in spades.

[TheIkaraCult]

a morality obediant

thanks for uploading this

[Nabbymacnab]

the "hello hello" a wee public image limited reference?

[Convectuoso86]

@Nabbymacnab John Lydon said "They're Great Blokes" :D!

[groovyapple66]

grand quality, fooking great tune!! thanks for the upload!

[StepmothersTeeth]

Heart-Stopping! Great quality upload my friend, better than other Manics i've seen from this period. Please put up more if you have other songs from this gig? 5/5
