[@DanFernandesBenficaSaint]

Well, not according to himself! The Stone Roses are my favourite band; they incorporate a 60s melody with Bob Dylan esk lyrics but the melodies are quite easy to play. Does that mean he’s not very good? Of course not, but if you’re comparing pure ability and technique - not the song or lyrics just the guitar playing ability - then you’d have to argue he’s not quite there with people like Satriani, Santana or Hendrix. It doesn’t detract from the music but in the balance of a fair argument you couldn’t say Squire is one of the greatest guitar players.

[@DanFernandesBenficaSaint]

As a guitarist myself and a life long Roses fan I slightly agree my own technical ability far surpasses his on paper but I always marvel at his cadence and note selection.

It's funny, you don't realize when genius is taking place right in front of you. At the time the Roses were amazing, but there were so many other amazing bands across many genres. I had no idea how enduring and legendary the Roses would be, or how briefly these moments in 89-90 would last. I wish I could go back and not take them for granted. I wish I could go back and appreciate how good they were as musicians, how the 4 of them combined to create music that was truly special. Listening to other bands from this era, they all sound like someone or each other. The Stone Roses don't sound like anything or anyone else and nothing from that era, before or after will be as recognizable and unique.

The band's or music didn't start the scene, it was revolution of the youth and then some of us made the music to go along with our feelings....thus a youth revolution arose.. What a time.

I was in Pasadena California at that time 26 years old and as I recall pre internet I think I read about them in spin mag or rolling stone how great they were before the cd/album was available (and it wasn't played on US radio yet either).

You are alluding to the syncapated drum piece which kicks the number off. An old technique from the sixties most probably perfected by John Bonham of Zeplin fame and Lars Urlich of Metallica. Urlich used it to full effect in the intrioduction to Enter Sandman. Expand your musical genre and learn.

Great. Just great. Why is everybody bitching on Ian Brown's voice? I think his 'weak' voice is what makes this music much, much stronger. Instrumentally this music is great and bands like the Stone Roses try to cast some arrogance. Whilst the band knows the voice is weak, they want to tell their story because they believe their story is worth telling. To me, that's the greatest example of arrogance. So I don't care about Ian's voice, the band succeeds in its mission. That's what makes the Stone Roses that good and why they have been such an example to bands like Oasis and The Verve.

***** I believe the end product of artists is the message they put across. Bands do that to a wider range of people through record sales and authors do that through print; true, bands can have deficiencies live but so might an author if he had to handwrite his work, but my point is rating a singer purely for his live voice is ignoring the whole other dimension that can make poorer singers still great live frontmen, e.g. Liam Gallagher, John Lydon, Joe Stummer etc.

Yes that one song is the extent of their repertoire ! Apart from that, the rest is mediocre shit. The lead singer has no punch to his voice. He sounds like a girl guide with a sore throat.

Being a blackpool lad and loving the stone roses makes it double brilliant really! Jealous I wasn't around a few years earlier

[@VoulaMavrikaki]

Sound// movement// ahead of their time Also timeless !!! Love them

[@forestfan3]

and I love you..fancy a date

[@jhopper1969]

Only the birth of my kids challenges this as my best ever night! Absolute class and just what was needed to help us exit the Thatcher years! In my eyes, @IanBrown was solely responsible for my success in life!!

[@jennifermoss9539]

For me the best band that ever graced the earth! I always feel happy listening to them!

[@engineere2874]

Had this on VHS. Defined me. And a proportion of the best of the British generation. Nothing cooler. Words almost fail....

[@MarlboroughBlenheim1]

32:16 the craft and beauty of this outro brings tears to my eyes. So gentle and yet strong. What a band.

[@connorkinnear123]

Decided to watch this out of the blue and notice it's 33 years ago to the day. Timeless

[@WAFeditingsystem]

No other band will ever compare to the attitude and talent of the roses.

[@threejean2011]

Haven't listened to this boot in a while, I forgot how good it is!

[@johnnybhood7559]

Well Ian did a great job on Waterfall live , as well as the rest of the band. Stone roses had such great edge, even their soft songs have this untamed kick

[@JeffreySmith84]

I'm just an American bloke from St Louis. Got the Stone Roses CD from the library in 2003 knowing nothing about it. The cover looked cool and I think a coworker may have suggested it (this was over 20 years ago...). Been a favorite ever since despite not really caring for most of the 90s britpop stuff apart from Chumbawamba. Still listen to the whole album a few times a year. It's great for road trips because there's not a weak track on it apart from that backwards loop filler track, haha. Recently had it cranked up on a road trip from Minneapolis to New Ulm, Minnesota with my wife and a friend who had never heard it before. Nice to finally see footage of this amazing band!

52.28 mins in manni and reni tight as fook bet squire were in heaven playing over that bass and drum locked vibe .amazing sounds

[@hectorgcampos]

Thanks for posting!! One of the great regrets of my 20's was that I never got to see these guys live and now that my 15 year old son is getting hooked on them, I decided to see if KZbin had any of their concerts from back when i first started listening to them. Well done mate!

[@171sheffutd]

I'D SELL MY SOUL, just to SEE THEM LIVE!!

[@cannonfodder6654]

i seen them at this gig, glasgow in a tent 1990 and last ever gig at Hampden park ,the tent gig was the best

[@euanstorey]

You don’t need to, they’re already in you 😉, utb

[@ciaranmckenna1586]

Back in 2006 for my 15 birthday I got the DVD version of this concert best present ever

[@Joe-wo7rg]

Squire was a very underrated guitar player.

[@steviep76]

Imagine if we had split screen. The band and the crowd! This would be amazing!

[@clivedxb]

Crikey. Reni was some drummer.

[@millipedes66]

Yeah. Everybody in the band had something to offer, but Reni really made it go. What I love most is how natural and uninhibited his style is, as if he grew up in some community that primarily communicates through drums and didn’t just pick up a few licks somewhere to match his attitude. he’s the perpetual motion machine, man!

[@jamescampbell351]

Reni wis thee drummer his technique wis spot on he new wit he wis gonty day afore squire played eh cord wish a wis alive ehn tae see em 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🎶🎧🎤💊

[@mrkipling2201]

Certainly is. Up there with Keith Moon as the best drummers ever.

[@yokohamatomohawk1840]

Yes brother. Where were you? We waited for you, but then time turned to more time and we couldn't wait any longer. Xx. Watch out for the pike.

[@yokohamatomohawk1840]

@@millipedes66 it was more than that. Don't project. Water dissolves and water romoves.

[@guybo27]

Awesome concert. This opened me up musically and personally. Great guitar work!

[@nobover]

The best concert footage ever!

[@finnmccarthy6630]

I love the stones, all the boys are deadly each with serious talent in their own way especially john. Im not a drummer but i hope you're all aware your watching the Alan Wren show !

[@Utubin]

LOVE IT!!!!!!! Thank u uploader💪👍

[@incredibleXMan]

Drumming is next level. The rhythm section was inspired.

[@garythompson3130]

Yes! Robcatlist you nailed it. The late great Keith Moon!

[@Alligator6002]

Best Gig ever. Listen to John's breakout's on Elephant Stone, Where Angel's Play and Resurrection. 🤯 The Empress ballroom has a vortex of reverb that is completely unique.

when u realise a video from '89 has better quality than a minority of youtubers who upload in 2021
