In the live recording of "Hiding In Plain Sight" performed on "Later... with Jools Holland," the Manic Street Preachers were promoting their album *Postcards from a Young Man*, released in 2010. This album marked a pivotal point in their career, representing a culmination of their artistry with a return to more melodic rock influences, reminiscent of their earlier work. The performance on the iconic BBC show showcased their vibrant stage presence and highlighted the band's resilience and enduring relevance in the music scene. Interestingly, the track itself was a significant part of their discography, as it reflected the band's introspective lyrical style amidst a backdrop of anthemic sound. This performance also came after a period of experimentation in their music, solidifying their status as one of the leading forces in British rock.
