Everything Live (1997) Leaving the 20th Century (2000)

Everything Live is a concert film of the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers' performance at the NYNEX Arena, Manchester, England on 24 May 1997. Along with the 1996 album Everything Must Go , it captures the band's comeback following the disappearance of their rhythm guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards and their transition to being a major band. On the tenth anniversary edition of Everything Must Go, bassist Nicky Wire cites the concert as the moment he knew that the band had "made it". ^{[1] [2]}

The film was released as a VHS video on 29 September 1997 by Sony Music Video, and the full concert was later released on DVD as part of the Everything Must Go 20th Anniversary Edition reissue. ^[3]

Everything Live was directed by Dick Carruthers. The first 12,000 copies came with five postcards featuring photographs of the band by their official photographer Mitch Ikeda.
