[@greenFOD1]

Whoever originally 'legged this - the world owes you a great debt. Not only is it a blistering set by the Roses, but it is a snapshot of British youth-culture on a particular day, the zenith of a whole "movement". If the person who snuck in their recorder had not done so - we may not be able to hear this now.

[@mikemoostermoo]

It was my mate who recorded this. He definitely didn't know at the time he would have the only full recorded set of the gig. I can tell you it was recorded on a black Sony Pro Walkman, very expensive piece of equipment for the time which he risked having confiscated if he'd have been caught 'smuggling' it in, and I think it was an external wide angled mic that was attached. It was recorded down at the front on the left hand side of the stage.

Thanks so much to whoever snuck in a recorder. Had completely forgotten the fireworks after the set. In fact, I’d forgotten almost everything except the gorgeous weather that day, just before the 1990 World Cup. I found this after watching Mat Whitecross’ ‘Spike Island’, a fictional take on the day that nailed the celebratory mood perfectly. Recommended.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

The Roses music hasn't aged a day.

[@crim192]

This is the one concert I am gutted at missing. I listened to Stone Roses as an impressionable teenager in Newry (NI) back in 1989 and they were just fucking amazing. So different from anything I could hear locally. My mates laughed at me for buying the CD ( because that was big news on it's own!). 31 years on and this still makes me smile. IATR is now my cremation song. I really don't give a shit what else they play after I hit that firey hole.

[@JoeEdwards1997]

Burst into heavennnnnnnnnnn. Seven years before I was born. Would give anything to have been there!

[@DirtBlockHouse]

Apparently it wasn't that good other than the atmosphere. The wind was blowing the sound around so much you could hardly hear a thing.

[@JoeEdwards1997]

Bet you could If you were at the front in front of the speakers lad

[@DirtBlockHouse]

Joseph Edwards It would have been amazing to be there anyway just to say that you were there.

[@colinjrob]

Teehee....I was there, believe it or not. Worked for Pinnacle records at the time and go a free ticket with access to a free beer tent. Spent most of the day drinking beer and eventually waddled out (pretty sobber tbh) moments before the Roses came out, right near the front to enjoy the spectacle of the show. Great time to be alive. :)

What a day ! what I remember about it,(of my face on acid) we turned up with no tickets, you couldn't get near so we ended up walking down this canal for ages till we found a bridge that took us onto marshland that led us eventually led us to a big fence with security at the back of the crowd, other people were there, not many. A gang of nutters turned up and we all charged at the fence and brought it down, result, we all got in for fuck all !!

You’re right, bands and moments like this are incredibly rare. The very early sixties was probably amazing with the Beatles and the Stones, I always hated the fact that the Sex Pistols happened before I was old enough to go to gigs but the Madchester scene happened when I was 18/19 so at least I got to see the Stone Roses and most of the other big players live.

[@timfielding5735]

In fairness though mate, he wasn't slagging it off, it's one of his favourite gigs ever, he was just saying that the sound was poorly arranged, which a number of people who I know who were there and the Roses themselves have openly admitted

Don't stop is very impressive,Ian's singing is great all the way through the gig ,I can't believe people say this was a bad gig ,they are all excellent

[@mozey1539]

the reason everyone calls it a shit gig was because unless you were near the front of the stage you couldn’t hear fuck all because of the wind and smoke coming from the chemical power plants because it blowed it all over the place. all in all i would kill to have been there. but i rate ian’s singing in this too
