Bands I Have seen live (25 person items)"2012 at Tallin (Õllesummer)
2011 at Hämeenlinna (Wanaja Festival)
This had to be one of the most important concerts of my life. Manic Street Preachers is still a great band, known for its strong political themes and lyrics. The gig itself was a perfect blend of old and new. All received certainly what they wanted. In fact I enjoyed the whole show's playlist. Overall, one of the best gigs, ever.
To quote James Dean Bradfield: "I think I love you"
