I was there - had to sleep at the train station, with just a Welsh flag for warmth - but was well worth it!

A song that shows your working class identity, yet you have progressed and you don't forget where you come from!.

And this is why it was, without doubt, the best song of the 90s.. Timeless, powerful, unbeatable.

It’s got to be one of the greatest songs ever, brilliant band.

My Dad was here. He said he loved it

Richey would have loved the fact they did this.

20yrs..real fan in south korea

Love the manics. Amazing. Humble down too earth. No bullshit.

Sean Moore, massively underrated drummer.

the best performance ever... what a great song... what a great band... all around...

The rythm of my life since 96. Thx manics

OMG I can't believe I've never seen this video before - I was there at the 'Manic Millennium' gig at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on that night! The best way to see in the millennium and they were brilliant, even though my overwhelming memory was that it was flipping FREEZING and we were all there for hours in our little black dresses & feather boas! I also have a vague memory of eating an "alf & 'alf with curry sauce in the infamous Chip Alley afterwards having had way too many bottles of WKD Blue at the gig, then stumbling back home to my student digs having lost my shoes somehow! Ahhh...memories of a fab night as a 25 year old!

I was there too, don’t remember it being cold at all. My memory is simply of being stupendously ill as I had flu over the xmas and was totally bedridden for days and had literally just barely recovered enough to walk around and go to the gig, travelling all the way to Cardiff from the North East of England. Was stood way back leaning against one of the pillars feeling horrible but was determined to go if I was physically capable. Weird to think I was 23 at the time and so people not even born at the time of the gig are now the same age I was then. Seems like 5 minutes ago

I've seen them ten times and funnily, this was the last time I ever went to see them.. Saw three gigs with Richey in the band and I gave up seeing them in the end knowing they'd never be as good as the early days. That's just my opinion though. I preferred the early Manics. A lot like this era though. They were massively popular at this stage.

I was there. This is the first time I've seen footage of the gig. Sounded good.

Génios. Uma banda super inteligente. Muita qualidade. E na guitarra James rebenta com tudo. Adoro Banda de coração

Das ist so traurig, sie bitten immer noch um Applaus für den coolsten in der Welt, Mr. Ritchie Edwards. Er ist und bleibt verschwunden aber trotzdem unvergessen. Es fließen heute noch Tantiemen auf ein extra Konto für sein eventuelles wieder auftauchen.
