OK - Motown Junk LIVE
Tell me your favourite intro...
I'm torn, but I'm going for Baby Love (I know there's been loads of variations). I've only seen about 5 gigs, there's gotta be some awesome ones out there... I also like the Sweet Home Alabama one from the Tsunami cassette... Go for it...

'Jump' by Van Halen probably.
I had a discussion with James about how he should do 'The Spirit of Radio' as an intro to Motown Junk. It's in the wrong key though, apparently. Any Rush intro would be good though...

Best intro to Motown is from the 93 Milton Keynes gig
"Sidney sidney...Where did your love go...?"

Not sure... From Wikipedia... When performing live, the band begin the song with a few lines from another song. From around 1991 until 1997, James would sing the chorus to the Motown classic "Baby Love", often changing the lyrics on the spot. During 1998/99, the song began with the riff from Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama"; since then the Manics have used the "Motown Junk Medley" to pay tribute to Van Halen's "Jump" and Guns N' Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine". On their May 2007 tour, the Manics used the first verse of "Condemned To Rock And Roll" to begin the song, and during the December tour the band played a shortened version of The Cult's "She Sells Sanctuary" as an intro. In the summer of 2008, they returned to preceding live performances of the song with "Baby Love.", whilst for the Journal for Plague Lovers tour in 2009, this song was proceeded by "Stop in the Name of Love".

I'll go along with this. It was worth being there just to hear it and they should use the original intro every time they play Motown Junk!

Paradise City on the PPF tour wasn't bad. And She Sells Sanctuary was fun.
And yeh, the video was around 90/91 I'm sure. |
