One of my favourite ever songs, thanks very much! Happy new year Elizabeth.
Yeah, see, haven't I always defended James about this?

Yeah yeah

To be fair it was James who in 2002, said on Radio 1 that 'perhaps we won't be playing all of those (You Love Us, ME, Motown Junk) after this tour as we want to move on'. Happened for Motown Junk, but that was it. He should put his foot down, he did write the music afterall.

Cheers, Elizabeth! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for the upload of this, some comedy around one of my top 10 MSP songs. If only Wire had bothered to put some more effort into playing and Jimbo remembered all of the lyrics - would've been nice to hear a different version of the song played properly.

It's very repetitive, and though certainly interesting in certain ways, like any creative process it is more work and less fun than the final product makes it seem.

We are currently combing through the footage finding fun scenes like these to put on our YouTube channel and for extras for the film's DVD release, so, eventually, everyone will get to see all the good stuff. We're glad you're enjoying it so far. Thanks for all the nice comments!
Awesome news! Thanks again Elizabeth, can't wait to see all the clips & film, Happy New Year to you!

James, you are the front man. If Nicky starts moaning just say 'Tough!'. Don't have to do everything he says!

That was before Lifeblood nearly crippled them and they became desparate for attention/approval from the public at large.

The Lifeblood tour setlists were ace though.

Hahahaha! That is the most amazing bit of footage ever.
Love that Nicky said even no to La Tristesse

Thats a big shooting ratio, editorial must have been tough?

Yes, it was a lot of work, especially considering our small crew, but we were editing all throughout the shooting process, so that helped.
