Live in Barcelona
This DVD captures a rare Mondays gig filmed at Barcelona's Razzmatazz club in December 2004. The Mondays' rely heavily on the sound and rhythm of house music, spiked with '70s soul and '60s psychedelia. Onstage, leader Shaun Ryder is still the subversive enigma whose poetry and lyrics influenced generations of electonica to come. Their off-stage behavior is equally legendary and this DVD features exclusive interviews with Ryder.

Hallelujah!: The Extraordinary Story of Shaun Ryder and "Happy Mondays"
The group disbanded in 1992, amongst accusations of heroin addiction and numerous "I'll never work with them again" claims. However, against sizeable odds, such statements were to prove misguided, and the group's members were indeed to come together once more in one of rock's more unlikely returns. John Warburton's Hallelujah tells the story of how this comeback came about.

I saw the Mondays at the Citi club (now Avalon) in Boston in 1990. I was about 15, and definitely shouldn't have been in there! But wow - what a great show and memorable musical era.
