Manic Street Preachers Live Sendai BEEB Basement Theatre 20/10/93

Footage of the Manics playing live in Japan in 1993, recorded for the Life Becoming a Landslide video. They all seem pretty tired here compared to the other gigs because this was their fifth night playing in a row. Also interesting this about this gig - you can hear James say "Goodnight, this is our swan song a la complete..." before playing Roses in the Hospital. The Manics always refused to play encores, but in some places (Germany, Japan) it was considered rude not to. So this tour was the first where they have the band go offstage, have James play a few acoustic songs, then they come back onstage for a few more songs, resulting in a semi-encore but spiritually retaining their integrity. They've kept this little acoustic break in the gigs to this day. 0:00 - Sorrow 16 0:23 - Born to End 0:43 - Life Becoming A Landslide 3:38 - Love's Sweet Exile 5:50 - Roses in the Hospital A few songs from the gig were broadcast on Japanese TV:    • Manic Street Preachers - FOCUS; In E Flat ...
