Disadvantages: Not quite the same if you weren't there!

...I was a huge, huge Manic Street Preachers fan with all the "I was a teenage Manics' fan" connotations with it, and I couldn't think of anywhere better to be for my Millenium Eve. Being a Londoner myself, all my mates were down Trafalgar Square getting plastered, but somehow that just didn't appeal. I wanted to do something special. Something different.

Disadvantages: cant think of any

This is the video of the Manics huge concert in the Cardiff Millennium stadium during the turn of the century 2000/2001. This is probably the biggest concert this band have performed and maybe one of the greatest.
