I have some memories of this. Massive Attack were on before the headliners (Manics) and between sets there was an enormous 'bottle shower'. Everyone was throwing bottles, even some glass ones. Nicky's rantings resulted in them being banned from T for 10 years and I'm happy to say I was at both 99' and 09' performances! Didn't remember them playing Prologue to History though, awesome. Thanks for uploading, been waiting for someone to upload this footage for years.
Classic Upload.I was there.They were excellent that Sunday night. I've been looking for this for ages.Thanks for sharing. I had Faster recorded from the BBC footage.I've still got it on a VHS somewhere.I've never seen it show up anywhere since. They showed Faster and an interview with Nicky talking about the Rugby etc. Always thought the version of Faster here was very powerful!
+modo03 Yes! You've pretty much described my exact situation. Was there, had Faster on video, taped from the BBC footage on the TV, with Nicky doing an interview with Dougie Vipond and him saying that it was one of the best gigs they had ever done. Tried for ages to find more footage of it. I've always wondered if the BBC filmed Faster, Tsunami and You Stole The Sun.., they must have the whole gig on film surely?? And does that mean the film is just sitting on a shelf in some warehouse somewhere. Man, what a waste! Cheers man
+dale515100 After the rest of the band destroyed their gear James said "I'm such a fucking Whimp I can't break it" talking about his beloved Les Paul Custom that has featured on every Manics album.Nicky was shouting something about "That's how you do it" to The Sterophonics :)

+27neilios The interview was with Billy Sloan.Yes that would be a great gig to have pro shot footage of as they were on fire that night.
Cheers man.
this was a month before james' mum died which would explain their behaviour.
Is Nicky pissed
What did they say at the end?
