- Manic Street Preachers on Later with Jools Holland in 1996. Performing songs from Everything Must Go including the title track, Small Black Flowers That Grow in the Sky and A Design For Life. Nicky Wire was absent due to 'straining his arm to answer the phone.' Recorded from MusicMax which was an Australian PayTV Channel.
God I loved the 80s and 90s. Music and life was much better than today.
to quote Tristan Learoyd who also commented on this video: In northern England it was a time of hidden child abuse scandals, racism, sexism and extreme class division. Of leaking school roofs, crumbling hospitals and needless deaths from uncontrolled industrial contamination.' Not to mention the 80s with the AIDs epidemic, cold war, homophobia, racism ect. stop being a boomer and open your eyes to how life was back then
@@thebasedgodmax1163 what's this boomer label actually mean. .unless you were around in 1980 and 1990s you ain't gonna be able to compare. The paedophile scandals and viruses are equally as bad if not worse . Now. Industry is being shut down. Stop being such a millennial. Boomer technically is someone born after war. The generation. So 1945 to 1963 maybe. But you could have caught those decades . 1980s had alot of shit happening Thatcher privatised sold off all state owned industries. So because they become private companies they have to run for profit. You can have better services if not profit. Aids same guy fauchi. As Corona virus. And get it right there were child molestation cases we now know in upper parts of society . Possibly presidents of USA and UK. Messed with children. That's true. But we had good people too. People relied on media too much. But now it's becoming reliant on mobile phones. Which may end up causing cancer . Good and bad depends on personal experience.
@@jketcham9004os what you're saying is that nobody is a good person today? because the rest of your comment is hardly disagreeing with me. i never said that the world today is perfect, just that the past wasn't either.

Based? Boomer? Anymore crap hyperbole or zeitgeist you want to slip in there?
AMEN GOOD TIMES
Still in my favourite live performance of all time, love rediscovering it
the voice!!!!
That performance was incredible.
Passion and Perfection all wrapped up in one - The Manic Street Preachers
An outstanding performance. Love Jools, and have to say that the Manic Street Preachers' performance stole the show. Missed Nicky, but still 5 stars. Apologies that it has taken me 20+ years to acknowledge this video!
Wow what a performance
Love that that Jules waved Nicky’s sick note in front of the camera. Point well made. Looks like James saved the day.
So energetic, exciting, full of drama
Watching this (at least) one year later, and fortunate I am in NZ where we have still been able to attend concerts during recent months (Crowded House were outstanding) while the rest of the world were in lockdown. Such a bloody brilliant performance from the Manics, but only 111 likes! Does lockdown extend to internet access???
Australia's less significant little icky baby brother.
This is the best James' voice ever sounded.
Soon after this, he got a nodule on his vocal chords from singing too loudly (too much chest voice). As a result, he changed his singing style to more high and nasally (mostly head voice).
Jdb on top form here!!😎🏴🤘🏻
Heart and soul and hes never heard of it come on Jools
One dislike. That'll be the Wire then :).
Incredible
This was amazing! Cheers
Great performance. Small black flowers was beautiful with the harp to accompany, and the strings being played by violins as opposed to a keyboard made it a more euphoric performance. I just think the bass (played by Nicky’s replacement) was a little Too loud .
The 90’s seemed to be happier times in general! I think people had more freedom! Nowadays there are too many rules and regulations.
It's got worse since 2 years ago. People relied on television. And newspapers they were much more believing media. I can see it becoming censored more now. Dunno 1994 Cobain died. Michael Jackson was slandered falsely. There was almost no CCTV. I mean they have all that health and safety regulations. Then in 2001, 911 happened and they tighten regulations. Now I think they are planning to maybe have big wars and keep us at home. In 1990s it was Clinton backed by Bush snr. Both drug dealing and bush case child abuse stuff. Suggested. Who knows will 2050 be better than 2020.
Child abuse scandals in the north of England? Like Rotherham you mean?
@Dr Tristan Learoyd (Verde) Child abuse scandals in the north of England? Like Rotherham you mean?
It was amazing it was rebellion with purpose. No cell phones, no social media, unity. Can go on and on
Ok boomer
Just simply fucking brilliant JDB NW SM Ritchie
Wow the welsh harp was beautifully played and the sound is glorious. Such a beautiful tune played to perfection by the fantastic lady harper iste. Who is she?
Also the violins are fabulous.
DONT LOOK BACK IN ANGER
I love the manics but James should of gave some recognition to the hardest.Well done jools.
@12.20 outstanding!
And sorry, that was at the end of a great performance.
Mark Dawson-Smith Small black flowers is for sure a beautiful song and that was a great version
Small Black Flowers...... I Think Design may be the complete album. Bible had one song I did not like, Gold had my favourite few.
James bang on form here, making up for Nicky
I thought it was ‘if you tolerate this, your children will be next’ - this sounds just as bizarre!
When I was young, I didn't question that "he hurt his arm reaching for the phone". I'm older now, and more prone to hurting myself doing things like tying my shoes or whatever... And the thing about reaching for the phone just doesn't fly anymore. I'm over 40 and out of shape as f*ck.
Injuring yourself answer the phone?... Nah.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of Ritchie ?
@@logan5francis757 no
@@logan5francis757 You think Ritchie was still alive and was due to play on Later ? PMSL!! Errmmm.... not unless he miraculously reappeared.
Nicky was supposed to join the band to play but was unable to because he put his back out and was in agony. Keep up
OK so...... what?
You think Nicky, who has played in front of hundreds of thousands of people by that time had suddenly gotten stage fright?? PMSL
He didn't hurt his arm reaching for the phone, he actually put his back out..... but I guess that can't be true to you Keith because, as it hasn't happened to you then clearly it couldn't possibly happen to anyone else now could it....
That's literally what happened. The whole band, Nicky included, were looking forward to their first ever appearance on Later but Nicky put his back out. It's hardly the most far fetched story. My brother put his back out tying his shoelaces.
But yeah ...... Keith WS has never put his back out so..... can't possibly have happened to anyone else eh...🙄
@@jackphilips9526 actually I was just implying that he was too hungover or something. But thank you for the essay. You should take a rest after all that jumping to conclusions.
i think it wouldve been interesting if the hootie and the blowfish bassist joined them..
So ...... just been listening to Jo Whiley speaking to Mark Cooper (producer/artist booker/general awesome legend behind Later with Jools Holland) and Nicky Wire did NOT in fact strain his arm ...... he put his back out whilst reaching for the phone.
So Chucho Merchan, who was there with Pete Townshend, stood in for Nicky Wire here and absolutely nailed it after only hearing the two songs hours earlier.
But that's no surprise. He is a well known session bassist/guitarists having played with the likes of the Eurythmics, The Pretenders, David Gilmour and George Harrison.
The thing is..... he sounded BETTER than Nicky ever did!! My god did he nail those two tracks!!
Can you imagine Nicky in the same situation? Stepping in at the 11th hour with a band he'd never heard? Playing a genre he's not familiar with?
Ha! Never in a million years!!
Yep just enjoyed the same interview and came to find the clip!
I wouldn’t necessarily say that the arm story is untrue - I know from experience that back problems can manifest as pain in the arms, legs, head…!
I think Nicky Wire himself would accept that he’s not as gifted a player as one of the world’s best session bassists but yeah, it sounded great.
I hadn’t realised another of my favourites, Ben Folds Five, were on the same show. Would’ve been great to hear the Manics with Robert Sledge’s fuzz bass!
@@sammygfc4128 I'm not sure if you're being disingenious but.... like I've just said, I've just heard Mark Cooper, the person responsible for Later with Jools Holland...... without him we would not have Later.....
Mark phoned Nicky to sort a cab.... and Nicky reached forward to answer the phone (he;s lying on a couch) and his back went.....
That is what bheppened. Mark Cooper knew because he was speaking to Nicky while he was in absolute agony
@@jackphilips9526 No, not being disingenuous in the slightest. I was just pointing out that putting your back out can cause shooting pains up your arm, neck or leg, so what Jools Holland announced on the show wasn’t necessarily untrue. That’s all - it was just an observation, because you seemed to be implying the arm injury announced at the time wasn’t true.
The main purpose of my reply was to agree with you and say that it was a fascinating interview with Mark Cooper and that I’m interested to read the book.
@@sammygfc4128 fair play fella!!
I have zero time for townshend double standards spring to mind but this was recorded before he was caught. Keep in mind how rich he was before he did his research and what path he could have taken. Manics were outstanding even if the stand in bass player was a tad too professional hehe.
This is my opinion
Who's on bass? That's not Nicky is it?
don't know who is on the bass, it's not the same without Nicky Wire
Jools literally preceded the song by explaining who the bass player is/why he's there.
I give up 🤦🏻
No, did you not hear Jools saying Nicky has sent in a sick note and stayed in bed! Keep up!
Pino Palladino I think his name is
