Went to see MBV in Manchester. After the 10 minute āholocaust sectionā they departed the stage. We asked a security man if theyād be returning. He looked at us as though we were mad and replied in the broadest Mancunian accent imaginable āI fooking hope not!ā. Made my night.
Anyhow, if anyone posts a finer modren song than this today Iāll be aghast. A sumptious piece of work.
Considering i)how shit U2 have become in the last few years
and
ii) their better known stuff from 1984ish onwards
itās forgotten by many how utterly brilliant they were in the early days and especially live
Sunday Bloody Sunday always worked better as a straight ahead rocker than it did on the more pedestrian album version
