When there was that spell where James was saying he was tired of putting vocal tracks down on Manics' albums, I reckoned it was as good a time as ever for them to do a whole album with either one woman, or many women, taking singing duties.
The idea still stands up as a great one, listening to this... |

Ok I did not have a Madonna cover on my bingo card for this gig?!

Madonna does covers so you can too!

Don't ever let the band tell you again that they can't do a deep cut setlist!

It's funny looking earlier in this thread, people seeing it's an hour-long gig, and thinking they could guess the setlist there and then.
It's like they saw that and took it as a challenge! Great song to cover tho, fair play. |

You Love Us (presumably followed by Design?)

Nah, i could always choose a deeper cut setlist but it's still pretty good. And a madonna cover to boot, good lord...

Always does. Sound-filling with extra live guitars always takes something away

Has James done the harmonics during the chorus before?

James seems to be enjoying his guitar of late, as the football phrase might go!

Borderline. Seemed to morph into You Love Us. I thought he was trolling in the way Baby Love went into Motown Junk.

That’s a very interesting set.
Recorded this on the Sky box so looking forward to having a listen tomorrow. |
