Link to The S*n above in case anyone else is using their phone and can’t hover over the source first.

I keep reaching for the like button but it's just not there...

Though it's 1985 for me.

Given how many historic Glastonbury events the BBC have put on iplayer (in excellent quality by the way) it's a shame they couldn't find a single Manics performance to put up.

If they are going for iconic performances then surely 1994 had to be up there? Whilst it might have been originally broadcast on Channel 4 they've got Oasis' performance from that year up.

Ahh maybe that's the difference. Maybe they had to pay per gig.

Having brain fog, but remind me... was the film about GT, Culture Alienation Boredom and Despair... actually released?

I know we watched it in Rough Trade that one time.

edit: just answered my own question, it was in the GT20 (small) boxset, and I've already got a signed copy

Wasn't the one shown at Rough Trade a quote unquote Director's cut? All I can remember is the crowd murmuring (with one exception) along to condemned to rock n roll.... good times.

I've been noticing a few vintage manics t-shirts recently on eBay going for several hundred pounds but this must be a record if it's a serious buyer;

Been listening to the holy bible and she is suffering is the weak point of the album for me

I had gone off Of Walking Abortion before the anniversary tour, but I always thought Mausoleum was weakest. If there is any weakness.

More of a reflection on music in general, but how fucking weird it is that not only can you listen to a bands new album for FREE at midnight on the day of the release, but that the bands website and mailing list will link you straight to it.

Seems bands have reached peace with getting a million listen at 0.000000001p a listen over assuming most of them will buy stuff. One of the reasons I buy the signed tat each time round I suppose.
