Notes :
As a fan of new wave music, I was hooked on the Manchester scene (especially Factory bands). Happy Mondays are such a crazy band ! Here is a live show from their Europe tour in early 1990, before "Pills'N"Thrills" was recorded. The performance is great, as usual with the Shaun Ryder's gang. The live re-arrangement of the songs are great, a bit more synth-oriented than on their albums.

Line-up:
Shaun Ryder : vocals
Mark Day : guitar
Paul Davis : keyboards
Paul Ryder : bass
Gary Whelan : drums
Mark "Bez" Berry : dance & percussion
