Support...
Has anyone seen a good Manics support act yet?
Public Broadcasting Shite, Ian Brown, Elbow, and six others I've seen that I can't even remember the name of. Not one has been good. Is it a ploy to enable the band to walk onstage to a half-enraged half-relieved audience?

I've enjoyed Delays and British Sea Power, and whilst technically not a support act at Festival Number 6, Nile Rogers and Chic should just be warm up for every gig ever

Public Service Broadcasting - AMAZING.
Joy Formidable - AMAZING. British Sea Power - AMAZING. Delays - Lovely. Cherry Ghost - lyrically interesting. So... yes. Quite a few. Though you have to struggle through a fair amount of crap inbetween.

British Sea Power. Should support on every Manics tour. Ever.

I liked The Answering Machine
Weren't Muse an MSP support act? They've done all right.

Oooooh, Mansun were bloody amazing at the Nynex in '97 too. Looked and sounded like they should have been headlining the place. Embrace were the other support on the day and were just painfully fucking awful: the worst live vocals you're ever going to hear combined with a band that were desperate to be Oasis = aural agony.
I remember seeing the then completely unknown Stereophonics supporting in '96 too and, despite liking a few of their tunes, generally found them really dull. Not much has changed there then! |
