YES PLEASE UK TOUR
Sadly this tour would be the end of an era for the Mondays as it was to be their last tour before it all blew up and the band split the following year. They did however go out with a bang and put on some great gigs when most had written them off. Bez will always be memorable trying to do his usual dancing whilst his arm was hanging off lol

Leicester De Montfort Hall, 10th October:
The first gig of the tour and this was a widely circulated bootleg back in the day. Nice to hear the new songs in the set list though I have to say and a complete flip on the usual set with playing Wrote For Luck as the opener instead of the huge finish as they had done for years before.
Set list: WFL, Loose Fit, Sunshine & Love, Donovan, Kinky Afro, Cowboy Dave, Hallelujah, Stinkin Thinkin, Angel, Cut 'Em Loose Bruce, Step On, Dustman, Theme From Netto, Monkey in the Family
Manchester Free Trade Hall, 11th October:
The home coming gig and thankfully we got another recording even though the sound is poor, and as per usual with the Mondays tours the set list is exactly the same as the Leicester gig the previous night lol
