Title: Live 98 The Cornerhouse Middlesbrough 16.02.98 On state in the darkened venue a local alternative rock band begin to perform for the large crowd gathered around the stage. They perform several tracks and are applauded by the audience. While a large crowd gathers around the state to listen to the music, others sit at tables around the bar chatting over drinks. Back on stage a second group begins to perform for the watching crowd. Again, they perform several tracks with a smoke machine pumping dry ice to create an atmosphere. After a short break a third band begins to perform several songs including a cover of a track by the American band The Pixies. The band finishes its last track, and the film quickly cuts to the bar where the barman is pulling a pint of beer. Back on stage a four band begins to perform. After the first track the lead singer introduces the band describing them as the ‘27th best band in the world’. They go onto perform several more songs including a cover of the Stevie Wonder hit ‘I Just Called to Say I Love You’ with some of the audience dancing along. A fifth band now performs on stage featuring a heavier metal vibe with bassist and lead singer wearing a Marilyn Manson t-shirt. They take a request from the audience and perform a track for someone called Emily. A sixth band prepare to perform that feature’s as its lead singer and bassist a young woman, the first female to feature performing. Again, the group perform several more tracks with those standing beside the stage jumping up and down to the music. The seventh and final band begin to perform, their performance is high energy with the lead singer screaming obscenities into the microphone as part of one song. At the side of the stage some of the audience create a mosh pit with them jumping up and down wildly. The film as well as the concert comes to and end with the crowd scream and shout their approval.
