Really enjoyed this. Very moving and put together well by Kieran Evans (those not sure about the close ups of the band's faces...I took it as a nod to the EMG artwork). I was particularly interested in Martin Hall's comments, as personally I'd not previously heard/read much from his perspective about Richey's disappearance and all that led up to it.
I liked Nicky's home videos and particularly the footage of them recording EMG in France. James recording the vocals to Black Garden gave me goosebumps; what a voice! It also hit home just how young they all were when this happened and when they wrote ADFL. I think I tend to forget that. It's a lot for anyone to deal with, but they handled it all so maturely (on the outside at least) and made something positive out of tragedy. Huge respect to them really. I'd not really thought a huge amount about the Manics lately, but documentaries like this one (and the Nynex gig that followed on afterwards on Sky Arts) just reiterated my never ending love for this band. Sure, they've done my bloody head in at times and I've not always loved everything they've done and said, but they've been with me from the age of 16 and shaped so much of my life. I don't think that'll happen to me with another band in my lifetime. |

Was the Nynex gig the full set or the edited version?

Good to see they acknowledged the debt to McAlmont & Butler in ADFL. Always seemed fair to me in a 'you stole our song title so we borrowed your sound' kind of way.

All the songs but some bits still missing, for example the Peter Schmeichel bit before Motorcycle Emptiness.
And annoyingly, one of the camera angles had the audio out of sync, but glad I've finally get to see the whole thing Last edited by thevoices; 17-04-2017 at 20:32. |

Seen it now, thanks - it was great to see the songs that weren't included n the VHS that I wore out in my youth!
But why did they have to keep the terrible bits where the camera man asks the worst questions in the world to the band and gets ignored by the fans outside?!

That's right! He got hit over the head with a boot didn't he? On the VHS?
Well it was great watching both and I'll be keeping them on this box as the Holy Bible gig and their Strictly Come Dancing appearance. |

I loved this. Good to hear Martin and Terri Hall's thoughts too.

Finally saw this last night. I found Martin Hall in particular very moving - talking about losing his brother, his friend, and facing losing a significant part of his job, all in a few short years... it must have been just awful.

I really wanna see this, but I'm in the US.
Is there any way it can be done? |

I'm in the same boat. I can't find a download anywhere.
