A bit late on this one but... Was just wondering if these gigs were the first time Wire has ever sang lead vocal in a normal gig? I.e. not including the JFPL gigs

Sang Wattsville Blues around 2001 I believe.

James did say something to the effect of, 'That's the first time that's happened in the history of Manic Street Preachers'. With no one else onstage, that's probably a first.

Yeah, he did Watsville Blues, but with full band. This is his first solo solo.

Very late with this upload (glad I wasn't the only one who filmed the Wire's solo spot) but it was down to me stupidly deleting the video off my camera by accident..... but eventually managed to recover it... so here's my video of Nicky doing The Future Has Been Here 4 Ever for anyone still interested... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72yUreHY1DQ

To the gentleman who said hello at breakfast at Ramada Jarvis hotel next morning(along with his Mrs)-hello again and apologies for my deep shyness which i hope you didnt take for rudeness

We also spoke after Cambridge gig and i was very horse of throat due to me singing my wee butt off

Anyway *waves*

And a lucky few got to hear a verse of it as an intro to The Second Great Depression on one of the SATT dates
