Day 2 of the 1997 Reading Festival. We didn't see as many bands as we'd probably usually see at a festival as we all took a long break in the middle of the afternoon/early evening to do a raid on the local Toys R Us and buy up a bunch of fairly high powered water … Continue reading GIG 348: Reading ’97 Day 2: Manic Street Preachers / The Orb / The Cardigans / Republica / Apollo 440 – Reading Festival, 23rd August 1997
