Dave Eringa mixing Manics live show
 

Yesterday I watched an interview with Dave Eringa which was carried out during lockdown, in which he revealed that he has just finished mixing a Manics live show. He didn't say which or what it was for, but he did mention it was a show in which they played 'Tolerate' (so not a GATS show to go along with the reissue). But maybe there's a live album or DVD coming?

National Treasures (the singles gig)? That's a DVD I'd buy, and if I recall, no video has been seen from it

National Treasures show for me is the most iconic they've done since Cuba. It definitely deserved a proper release, and from the amount of tracks off it suggests there must be some decent quality recordings. Timing seems a bit weird though.

Great minds think alike (and post at exactly the same time!)

A complete waste of a soundboard recording was that.

35-odd songs, a good number of rarities, staggered on various formats and different releases. Whack the full gig on iTunes for 7 quid or something.

Even more worryingly, it was nearly 10 years ago :scared:

I think it's unlikely to be National Treasures unless they only mixed the tracks that ended up being released as otherwise it's already been mixed, and it's so long ago now. Personally I'd love the Homecoming show with its acoustic and strings set but I suspect it's more likely to be a show from Truth20 as it's their biggest album across Europe and the most recent tour. But we'll have to see.

It's on DVD but would you buy a CD of the Manic Millennium?
Still think you could do a double album, each side taken from one different gig. So rather the complaint of "Sounded unfocused with all different venues" it's under half an hour of concentrated extracts from last few years shows? If you take the tours from their last decade, THB, EMG, SATT, TIMTTMY, you could get a double from those shows and not be accused of ripping fans off?
Maybe the stickler is which version of the hits sounded better from each recording?
That might explain why they haven't gone into full live albums?
A dread that from there on in the playing becomes lesser.

Or it could be a 20 year old show! What do I know? This is more substantive than another wish list thread.

Ooo look forward to new Manics recordings done properly. It was annoying looking back that they didn't just release the National Treasures concert in full on CD over two discs. I'd have absolutely loved for them to have filmed it for a dvd / blu ray release but I guess maybe it was too expensive for them to do, but it was such a missed opportunity if you ask me.
Maybe Eringa was bored and just mixed a random show to entertain himself? We'll find out, I guess.

Know Your Enemy reissue? Mixing for Cuba gig?

I wonder if it's Glastonbury 99, possibly as a consolation for this year's cancelled gig?

Most likely Glastonbury 99 as part of the BBCs thing this year.

If so, they better not cut Prologue or Yes!

Wouldn’t be remixing a bit of old telly footage surely

This sounds like a decent shout to me.
