The comeback starts here. Leeds Sound City 96 was the Manics first real headliner since the split up, and it was quite an emotional night for any saddo hardcore fans like myself, listening with tape-recorders at hand at home. This was also where a lot of us first heard the newer numbers, and by the time Jo Whiley cut off through the middle of "Motorcycle Emptiness", the Manics had proved without a doubt that they were back, and meant business.
