This is a band coming back to life after a terrible tragedy.Nicky's head is down, but Sean is defiant and James is starting to show the form of the brilliant frontman he became.Loved No Surface All Feeling! Very brave.
There's a void where Richey should be that will never be filled. But that being said, the Manics have stood the test of time and remained an integral and influential act even to this day.
There seems to be two "Siamese" bands.....Ritchie Era and the post Ritchie era.... As much as I liked EMG it seemed........ Empty..... Then to see the Manics, fiercely intelligent,politically savvy, with an agenda....... To be "flavour of the month" , the Adidas clad masses at gigs, joined on stage by Liam Gallagher.....the polar opposite of Ritchie. Some bands can't exist without a member.... Led Zep, Joy Division without Ian..... Queen with no Mercury.... And while it was no secret that JDB'NW, SM was the "potatoes" of the bands, Ritchie was the flavour. The conceptualist,the muse ,the "ideas man".....
@@stevenstratton4785 I agree but it was reported he did actually like Oasis. Maybe it was because of their vacuous nature that his mind could turn off 🤷🏻♂️
Fabulous performance. As has been said, when you know what they were coming to terms with the signs of pain being slowly overcome seem visible. But what makes the Manics great, apart from consistently brilliant songwriting with Richey and afterwards is their sheer musicianship and commitment. The keys are filling out the sound just a little, but overwhelmingly its being produced by three instruments and a voice. One aspect of JDB’s brilliance as a guitarist is that he can play quite complex arpeggiated lines while singing an equally complex vocal. And yet there’s no solemnity, just serious passion. Glorious.
@@stevelogan1699 I collect autographs.. took it seriously from earlier this year, already bagged Peter Hook of Joy Division, Mark Burgess of The Chameleons, Nigel Clark of Dodgy, Manic street preachers and Simon Raymonde of Cocteau twins! more on the way too!
I taped this when it was on and must have watched it hundreds of times, amazing to think it's one of the first times they'd have played Design considering how many times they've played it live since.
It is a great upload. Well done. Amongst the best White Room sequences around. I was actually there, working. So its great to see a good bit of Music history.
nobody was jumpin around to design because it dint hit the charts until after this then we all went lets drink as much as we can in 96 we had it all its just the euro that let us down but the sun shined that summer
I remember seeing this at the time, a great performance. Looking back it seems like there was a long time between The Holy Bible and Everything Must Go, but it was only around 2 years or so. That kinda blew me away. I think James still had some of the Holy Bible-era venom during this era, he seemed for want of a better word quite unapproachable. Still, understandable really, this was still hot on the heels of the whole heavy Holy Bible period/Richey disappearing. I'd suppose the band getting massive after that would be bittersweet. (The intro the presenter gave is reason enough to get a bit annoyed..).
Any idea what/who is hidden behind the screen to Sean's right? I'm guessing the amps/cabs, but I'm sure I saw a glimpse of a person there too. Probably no great mystery, just curious.
I thought he was using a Boss DD3 or some similar Delay Pedal or maybe a Roland Space echo. Didn't think about a loop station pedal. Only a few months after this I see MSP at TFI Friday doing Kevin Carter and James had no pedals on the floor in front of him, his guitar tech was hidden behind his amps changing his guitar sound for him.
for 23 yrs I have never seen the family resemblance between sean and james - but at 6:24 -for a few seconds you can see it ....especially if you freeze the image .
James is his middle name. He went by Richey James early on as an allusion to Rusty James in Rumblefish. I presume he only started using that spelling because it looked closer to Rusty than Richie or Ritchie. Or Richard.
He was born RICHARD JAMES EDWARDS. He was known as Richey Edwards or Richey James in the Manic Street Preachers. It was never spelt Ritchie or Richie! get it right! 🤬 - C 25 - 05 - 23
@@thesoundlikechameleons2082 seemed to remember James's guitar sounding a bit 'bumble bee in a jar', when this first aired, but on a re-listen yeah it does sound great (they had the performance back in the studio after lol...🤔😊) but c'mon it's not exactly Abbey Road in there, or Maida Vale (is it Maida Vale? fuck knows, could be...🤷♂️) I've played guitar for many years, know Manics inside out, had two copies of 'Everything Must Go alone, probably play Manics better than they can, so I kinda know what I'm on about...
Nicky Wire has one of the purist smiles I've ever seen! It seems to radiate right from his heart! ❤️
No surface all feeling is one of their best songs. Very underrated

its suh a beutiful song and over the years has easily become one of my favs of theirs
Big Nicky, little Sean and middle-size James ! hahahahaha :D
I remember watching this and taped it on VHS! Lost the tape years ago but so glad to find this on YT - thanks for sharing!!

Remember watching this really clearly. Went to my first MSP gig in 1996 age 12, going to my 42nd in September age 29. Can't wait!!!! Xx
This is just 2 years after 94 HB era - and it feels like ten years has passed in between HB and EMG.
James voice seem to have after each album
James is INCREDIBLE here. One of the greatest frontmen of all time.
And i have his signature.
Free.
Preacher Muzik-man As in Paul Rodgers?
@@stevelogan1699 Lol no i meant i have his autograph cost me nothing! 😂 James Dean Bradfield, Sean Moore and Nicky Wire's.

I taped it too! 😊
I had on video once 😁😊🦝
The white room, a million times better than later with Jools Holland. Be great to have it back on Channel 4.
Love that smile of Nicky's when the crowd show their appreciation at 08.53/4
Top of their game here.
The best show on TV of my youth.
Top drummer in Sean Moore. and i have been liked by him on Facebook 2! 😉😊
Amazing performance 😍😍😍
Awesome drumming on "No Surface All Feeling"
It is a great upload. Well done. Amongst the best White Room sequences around. I was actually there, working. So its great to see a good bit of Music history.
What a band.
The guy on the Keyboards is called Nick Naysmyth - for those asking.
In so fucking glad I was a 90's kid

Brilliant, though being a huge Holy Bible fan was disappointed they went to this I have just come to service the boiler image
fantastic! thanx for the upload :)
Love that they've kept their tv studio id stickers on during performance . .
Where?
JDB is a god
やばすぎ🌈transが変かもしれないから、英語でも書いておくね😁sooooooooo awesooooome!!!!サイコーにかっこいい😃こんなにmanicsってカッコ良かったって知らなかったよ!upありがとう!凄く年月が経ってるのに色褪せて無くて驚いてるよ!
7:57 to 8:47 easily one of the best guitar solos ever. Astonishing quality from the front man James Dean Bradfield.

Clapping does not do justice to the end of that second performance.

Probably a guitar/drum tech
Can we talk about JDB nailing the loop pedal during Surface?
I thought he was using a Boss DD3 or some similar Delay Pedal or maybe a Roland Space echo. Didn't think about a loop station pedal.
Only a few months after this I see MSP at TFI Friday doing Kevin Carter and James had no pedals on the floor in front of him, his guitar tech was hidden behind his amps changing his guitar sound for him.
@@1967RTMOPAR it could be a Boss DD but I think they had a long enough loop time, maybe though!
Its just the keyboardist doing the riff isn't it? Its not even the same tone to be a loop of the guitar
現役のバンドで信じられるのはマニックスしかいねえよ！
2:42 forgets pedal 2:44 remembers pedal.
Is there a version of this song without strings?
Alternative FM
How embarrassing are those people dancing to the songs though.. Wow
fined for improper dancing... why is the chap on keys so far away, he is nearly off the stage, did he have BO?
The space to James's right is Richey's.
Roystone Szweda Haha !
for 23 yrs I have never seen the family resemblance between sean and james - but at 6:24 -for a few seconds you can see it ....especially if you freeze the image .
They look NOTHING alike, unless you are blind.
After that intro (mentioning the tragedy) I think that I would have immediately just said "fuck you" down the mic.
Why?
Never knew Richie Edwards changed his name before disappearing ...
James is his middle name. He went by Richey James early on as an allusion to Rusty James in Rumblefish. I presume he only started using that spelling because it looked closer to Rusty than Richie or Ritchie. Or Richard.
He was born RICHARD JAMES EDWARDS. He was known as Richey Edwards or Richey James in the Manic Street Preachers. It was never spelt Ritchie or Richie!
get it right! 🤬 - C 25 - 05 - 23
disappearance of Richie James?
whats your question?
Yes... he disappeared
@@cosmicdancer9524 He was known as Richey James although it seems to be definitely Richey Edwards over the past few years.
Richey!
The tv presenter is so unrespectful....
Stop talking 💩. Great presenter. Mark Radcliffe ex radio one dj. I have chatted to him too! clueless comment. C
very early after Richey and you can tell.. reluctant to themselves go... Nicky cant do it which is understandable
Haha sounded like he was playing guitar through a HIFI at this show
What? the guitar sounds phenomenal here! what are you on about?

Maybe Richey should have played keyboard
Stupid comment.
