I was there as well, would say it brought back memories but i was a bit drunk. I do remember it being great though, more than great...monumental, exquisite even
I was at Reading 1998, and watched this very performance! They also played Reading 1999, but headlined the NME stage (or was in Radio One stage? can't remember) and it was totally packed-out.
@dhollseed I remember page and plant later on, I did`nt appreciate them at the time and went to the cinema tent off to the left of the main stage which was showing event horizon!! What an idiot I was, I`ve been kicking myself ever since lol
Plus that bass player always got on my tits. Looks like a friggin' 'Hollyoaks poseur' oddly enough. Great drummer though they had, mixed it up really well.
The most schizoid band ever, this is pretty good but they could be totally CRAP. Like Dominic Chad, one minute a Brian Jones's lovechild next minute a Morlock.
Paul Draper himself said (go read his blogs/interviews on the mansun forums)that Stove was sacked for stealing money from the band (a while before the split actually happened.)
please get back together!! The best band in the last 10 years by a long shot. 6 is a masterpiece just a shame the so called critics panned it.GET BACK TOGETHER!!!!!!
cmon paul...even the fuckin verve are reuniting.they wil play 'a MAN called SUN' again,,,doesnt tht signifies a MANSUN return..cmon save us from crap like razorlight and doherty!!!! paul draper..ur a rockstar.get the boys back.u r SORELY MISSED.
I love how Chad always replicates the backing vocals on his guitar. :)

Paul totally f*cked up on "She Makes My Nose Bleed"... Probably was out of his mind on alcohol/drugs... Did anyone else notice that?

Yeah dude, that bass player got on everyones tits as he couldn't play to a standard that made him memorable. Drummer was a bit of an oddity.

The 1st time i listened to this band was in jail,(non payments of fines)ha the big crim.
Anyway pad mate was always playing this band,and has always it rubbed off.The music!!
Any way the Band just do not look what i expected!Seemed more like a punky band on CD,wide open space CD.Any1 know what its called?
Ps it was for not paying my poll tax yrs ago!!
Has that was a con,but differnt story

I totally agree with you: I think Six is a masterpice and Prog rocky also. Please reform boys before its too late.

I also agree that Six is a musical masterpiece, but as for critics... the NME gave the record a fantastic review, and rightly so!!

... I had such a terrible pubescent crush on Paul Draper. That's not right, is it? He wore the same shirt for, like, eighteen months.
