Happy Mondays taught me everything about dogbuscuits, microdots and the hacienda ...never again ...a magical moment in time I'm proud to say.....I WAS THERE🤯🥳😍🤪
I was there, the best was when the naked chic dodged the security and managed to get on stage. The band was very enthusiastic about the strange situation and acted really nicely to her, till today I still look up to this girl and her courage. It made the whole moment very real for everyone on stage and off stage.
I was at this one in 2000, glorious and chaotic gig. Shaun and Rowetta fell out big time about two songs later - proper handbags at dawn. There was also a female streaker onstage at one point. Bez with the cp goggles - Iconic. Miss the 90's.
keep on stepping on-i love the monday's-they were just a breath of fresh air early late 80's early 90's-and were a great original act-fusing funk and rock and having a great live show-one of the true great British acts
@@philipcunningham-salmon2737 charlatans were great but to me the front man Tim Burgess just didnt cut it. Not self confident. Have a look on RU-vid for sproston green instrumental....have a good listen then listen to a live version of same song...sometimes Tim cant get behind it. It's an amazing guitar rif and drums etc. The Soup Dragons also were on the 'indie' bandwagon and had fun,they were ok I'd also be interested to hear what became of them, I have looked before.
my one and only year aged 20 with 3 days in the travelers field to start and end with...and the first time with the Mondays after thinkin those days had gone...special times
Diffrn't class, my last glastonedbury, On U Sound in the area, supporting the Mondays. Gorbachevs, MDs, red window panes, totally bummed. Thanks for posting whoever you are.
i was at this and cant remember anything about it, it sounds shit, but im told i danced none stop,, it was the weekend that i gave up drinking (still on the wagon) so drink has nothing to do with memory loss as i was sober as a judge.still seems very alien to me now . . .
@@scottyc2012 are you kidding? this is an amazing performance of this song. id say they are all definately keeping it together. it is almost better than the record.
2000 the year glastunbery died, 99 bowie , was the last year you ould bunk in was my first and only glastonbury, definatly not like the original but still a good festival especially for the 10 entrance fee to the guy who pulled the fence open for us !
Lewis Mooring I wasn’t even born in the 90s and I know for a fact it was 10x better. Full of culture, great music and style now what have we got? Fuck all culture, wank auto tuned rap and people who can’t take the slightest joke.
yeah but for me Bez was important-he was the crowd on the stage-I saw them at the roundhouse 2014-i think it was and what struck you was the dynamic of Sean-bez and Rowetta-it made them good visually-i think the best bands have some kind of chemistry
+Paul Barlow of course if the music scene wasn't dead we would (both?) be out following new bands - right? I did ask myself this very question as I was watching the Stone Roses at Finsbury park a few years back - don't worry you didn't miss anything if you didn't go.The Stone roses seemed to have spent all their money hence the cash cow is looking like it's going to be milked again next summer. The lack of any new bands is also a reason for the continued popularity of Noel Gallagher's solo career - if a new Britpop-type scene was around now he would have been laughed off the stage ages ago.
He's forgetting the words and he's wasted mate plus they've edited the set to give you the highlights. It stopped and started loads. Don't get me wrong this was one of the highlights of my life but I'm glad i never paid to see them. There is not much I wouldnt give to go and live out 99 till 01 again 🤣
@@mmafiemc What do you want from a gig though? Something that you will clearly remember for the rest of your like - like this one, or a cookie cutter solid performance of a studio album.... For me seeing a band like the Mondays live and that all the members on stage are clearly fucked and theres generally just carnage, is probably exactly what I want tbh haha
@@MrBarry465 Its one of them defo . Yeah I was definitely spoilt back then for music gigs and the best narcotics money could buy , I unfortunately didn't make the most of it because I assumed it would last forever. 🤣 Thanks for pointing it out 👍🏻
Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans, James. So many brilliant bands came out at that time and what a time to be a teenager. And I managed to live through the excesses of that time aswell. Relatively unscathed.😂😂😂
Happy Mondays inspired a great movie "24 Hour Party People" a comedy that I will always cherish just like my memories that screwed up bunch blokes as they clearly were. The music was good enough not to have a couple of ass hats jumping around on stage.
Seen them from the word go and never seen a bad gig. Manchester legends... A great combination of real Manchester musicians... Origional. Charisma. Seen em in Lincoln 3 times. Hacienda. Middleton Civic. Allover. Never disappoint. Bez is a legend. Saw a band called flowered up a sort of London version of the Mondays,supporting Northside. They were surprisingly good. I was back stage and every time I turned my head roung the manager kept sticking the Columbian matching powder up my bugle. Everyone was surprised. They has a dancer dressed up like a flower.bpeople wax laughing a bit but they were fuckin great live ...my mate is Dermo and my mates were the last band to sign to factory from Middleton. The space monkeys. The Mondays are legends for sure. Funny but honest. Love you guys. David. The Chameleons. Xx
This was my best Glastonbury ever,the fence was down everything was out of control, brilliant vibe,people from every background who just turned up to what had become the biggest free festival and party in the world. Had my wallet and phone stolen, lucky for me they took the cash and left my car keys and bank card, took cash out in Glastonbury with my card, brought £200 worth of Stella, sold it on site and got my money back to live another day,.
Did get dangerous at times in terms of crushes when crowds got so big. 300,000 instead of 200,000. Even the lower numbers is a busy festival. I saw 1 or 2 sketchy moments where crowd started to get crushed at bottle necks to and from stages, venues. I had friends who were at Hillsborough, so I knew things can go wrong quickly. Luckily they didn't and it was a great festival. I'm glad I made the late decision to go again as it was last year u could try to hop over wasn't it
