well there's nothing on ebay - I'm only giving money if we can stop off in 1979 and see the Clash in their London calling tour, the Jam in their farewell tour in 1982 and the Smiths in their Queen is dead tour in 1986 !
we'll have to try amazon maybe, 79 is a good place to start though i would'nt mind see'n the pistol's manchester gig plus the 2tone tour ,i wore my vhs tape of dance craze out played it that much, we got shit to do and need this so some fucker somewhere has got the know how or a tardis and everyone has their price lol
I was there and near the front, 16 years old. I'm 41 now I remember it being the best day of my life at the time lol. I even remember what I wore, beanie hat, flares and my charlatans t shirt haha
@@mrkipling2201 all depends on where you were in the crowd it seems, ok the right side, no matter how close to the stage you were, the sound was top. The left was apparently shite towards the end
I'm only 13 and I think that music this day in age is shit. There's a few bands who produce good music like kasabian etc, but no one will see bands as good as this again.
I was 15 and travelled down with my brother and a few mates from Glasgow for the gig. I was about 8-10 rows from the front (middle right). I don't remember much about the sound because everyone was going mental around about me. Best gig of my life! As I'm quite short, I was stood on some sort of smoke machine (didn't know it at the time) for most of the gig to get a better view, which blew all sorts of shit up the legs of my flares. When I came out, I looked like Yosemite Sam after his gun had blown up in his face :) What a day!
galbijim100 , bro, loads on ere saying they was there , blah blah blah, well I was there and I too distinctly remember looking like one of the minstrels when I came out, filthy from head to toe, funny only we mention that and to be honest that's wot I remember most, walking into a kebab house near the gig n everyone staring at me like the Angel of death had just walked in, then I saw my face in the stainless steel counter top, funny day , made up you mentioned that, Yosemite Sam, funny mate, all the best mate.
I thought I was a gonna at one point, nearly got swallowed by the mosh. Was a great day that, still got my ticket, stashed in my dictionary, filed on the page Stone
Same here man. I was born in 1980. My first gig was The Manic Street Preachers in Cardiff Astoria on the Holy Bible your 1994. Was amazing! Though I bet going out to spike island if you was the right age would have been a BUZZ’!!!!!
I came here after finding a book called “stone roses war and peace” I read it because I like listening to the stone roses and I like other Manchester bands, but I didn’t know much about it. I am 19 and I had never appreciated what culture was like at the time. Just one chapter opened my eyes to a time before social media and the popularity of this amazing music
Me and my friends were given tickets for this gig at Wolverhampton, when they were being done for criminal damage. We went to meet them and got chatting. The band were happy that we came to support them. Sent me four tickets in the post (still got one). That was a great day out. We got to spike island the day before the gig and watched the soundcheck. Not many people there then. Played fools gold and resurrection. Got chatting and got my jeans signed. And went for a stroll by the river.
Lucky sod! I was there on the day. We both got a rare experience. You the most and the best. Doesn't matter though, we had the time of our lives with the best band of our lives. Groove On, man... We're the luckiest folk alive - Peace xxx
I saw the sound check too as I lived in Widnes at the time. The things that stood out for me were Reni complaining that the lighting rig was going to land on him after they lowered it to adjust it, and them rifting into '911's a Joke'.
I've only ever read and heard about Spike Island and thought a lot of it was very romaticised. After watching this it all appears to be true. The energy in that crowd is fucking unreal, plus the sound is consistent
I was 19 … now I’m 51 with tears in my eyes. It was a precious day not because it was an outstanding gig.. it wasn’t really. it was a coming together of a generation. We wore kickers, flares, bucket hats and big tees. There was no food, no decent toilets just people everywhere for miles.
Oh man, what a rush of memories! Me and my buddy Jethro were right up front at the start. It was insane! We actually had to get pulled out by the security guys up front by like the third song as we were getting crushed and couldn't breathe. There was a steady stream of people getting pulled out with no real other way to move back from the front. We walked far, far out away from the main crowd along the side and up onto a hillside at dusk, right when they started playing "Standing Here" which was and is probably my favorite song by them. That moment on that hill, looking out onto the crowd with "Standing Here" playing, feeling like we had escaped death, was a highlight of my youth.
Jody Rodgers such a shame the Madchester scene didn't last longer than it did. Whatever people think of the Stone Roses they certainly milked their debut album for all it was worth.
I really wish I was around during the time of Oasis, Stone Roses etc. This is real music, not Rihanna shouting the same word over and fucking over. Today's music and gigs will never come close to replicating what these did 27 years ago. I'm only 14 and far different from almost everyone else my age. Really hope people today could like this instead of today's shit🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
Blimey, 30 years ago today I was a floppy fringed 18 yr old in the middle of all that. The day itself was chaotic and it was hard to know what was going on most of the time, which just seemed to build up the level of anticipation for the band so when they came on - BOOM! there was a massive collective release of energy and euphoria. A life-defining moment.
Songs on this video for those who don't know - and this is not the complete setlist: 1:00 I Wanna Be Adored 2:33 Elephant Stone 3:05 She Bangs The Drums 3:50 Fools Gold 5:32 Waterfall 6:05 Made Of Stone 6:35 I Am The Resurrection
My 16 year old daughter came out with the most indie kid statement ever. "Dad it's not fair, no one is ever going to write music as good as the Stone Roses. I'm never going to experience that". Parenting complete. This is the only time I saw the SR, I wish I could remember more about the day, but it just seemed to flash by. I do remember waterfall, with the lights and thinking that's bloody amazing, and just having a huge grin on my face.
I was at the Etihad too, Saturday night. I'll be honest and say I'm not a massive Roses fan, I like them a lot but I'm into other bands more, but what I will say is that that gig will stick in my mind forever- the flares, the crowd/atmosphere, the music.... it was an experience. My uncle went to Spike Island (we come from Runcorn so not too far away), he said it was one of the worst performances he's ever seen from a band, but you had to be there just to say you were there. I was too young plus I wasn't really into the indie scene, I was a Floyd fan at the time, still am!
I know where you coming from buddy..I've been a roses fan since I was 14, I'm a 38 year old git now but nothing quite sounds like fools gold....off to watch them in Manchester in June 'sun hat ready😉)...you take it steady fella
i was 16. i remember my neighbours getting a minibus to spike island, remember seeing them return. i was gutted i didn't go. but, mani made us a brew, 2 days later, so, not all bad. good memories.
I was only a kid but my memory is being stuck on a chemical island in the Mersey after a 3 hour coach journey. It was baking hot and and there was little or no access to refreshments and it was about 8 hours before The $tone Roses came on. One of the best days of my life.
A memory of this day is seeing a van in the car park completely and lovingly Jackson Pollocked. If you were the owner of said van and read this, then respect to you for that work!
was only 12 when they played here, was just getting into them in my early teens then finally saw them at Brixton in 95 but without Reni.......but then did see the four of them together again a Heaton Park a few years ago :-) absolutely amazing day.
Bloody hell brings back memories that does. I was near the front and had to bail out for a breather after the 3rd song. Was absolutely wrecked. Never been in a crowd like that before or since.
And things were never the same again. Not a phone or camera in sight, everyone in the moment. As a committed Roses fan in my 50th year now, it makes me melancholy about what they could have been. I was with Oasis from small shows to the huges ones - great, great times, but a part of me will always feel that we missed the next Beatles. Ian has gone on to do some profound work... but is guess sometimes the star is too bright. And I still want to know who's got Ian's bongo's when he slid them down at the end...
I think they would've used phones... If they had them! Lmao. Back in 1990 there weren't any camera phones. But I agree, it's so much nicer to live in the moment, and not see everyone shoving their phones in the air for their Instagram story, like anyone cares, with the other 20,000 ig stories. But it does create the opportunity for good memories, and not losing your friends! Lol
@@Ravioliyt It does, but can you be "there" - in the moment ? free in mind and spirit ? if your watching it though a screen ? As the man (ian brown) said - I think it was at the warm-up gig in Parr hall before the Heaton park shows,"put your phones away, you're taking a memory of an experience you haven't lived..." -
It's Crazy that I am go on UA-cam and find great live footage of complete gigs by The Beatles, The Doors, Hendrix, The Smiths, etc... but pretty much this is it for the Roses 89-90.

I was there...15 years old, my mum let me go :) Thanks mum! All the way to Widnes on a double decker, orange GM bus'! What a gig! MVITA! Never seen any footage before.
Here after having bought a ticket for the Spike Island Resurrection gig in May. Even though it’s just tribute bands I can honestly say I can’t wait to experience what my parents did 30 years ago, in the exact same location, jamming to the exact same tunes. Going to be mental
I wasn't far from the structure in the middle of the field. I remember someone near me selling drugs and there was an orderly queue. Seriously. I miss those hippy days.
I wasn't a very good gig really. sound was awful. you are lucky to catch them today's age. better sound better organised gig. and a mobile to catch it on. much better today than then.
If this footage has been edited down to 10 mins, surely the whole concert was taped on video at the time? Someone must have it! Listened to the bootleg on cassette for years, and agree with other comments that it sounded great.
This DOES sound better than on the day, but I would not change a thing( simply formed the building blocks to my life ) the whole day, the people I met & the atmosphere
Mad to think this fucking happened now we’re looking back at it 30,000 people woke up that day knowing where they were going knowing what they were doing peace and love with everyone just there for the music the one thing which brought the pre internet generation looking at it and thinking about it .IT WAS A MASTERPEICE !!!!!
Such rare video footage like this only adds to the urban legendary status of that gig. I was 13 in May '90 and didn't go, but would have loved to have been there.
Didn’t go , could have but decided not as I had seen them maybe 20 times before including in 87 in Manchester and infront of 40 people in all the London Polly venues and Alexander Palace so didn’t want to go to this - really regret it ! As other have said best band ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever and so on for ever love the roses for ever , thank you for the Music x
Lol, i did wonder if this 'amateur camera' came with it's own portable tripod at all! Also, had the 'fan' got no mates with him? 'cos there's usually always someone muttering nearby! That said, it was great to see after all these years. Never knew any video existed. So well done for posting 👍
The entire soundcheck the day before was shot, everything was shot from the construction of the stage to the fireworks display at the end of the gig. Look on the channel EpaxB (I'm assuming he/she is one of the owners of the footage) they have even commented on one of their own uploads that the disclaimer at the beginning of this video is wrong and that there is loads more footage of the whole show out there and that only a handful of people have seen it, apparently someone somewhere doesn't want this fully out there and had only agreed to snippets of the gig to be released.
@@JordanSM1997 ye I heard that aswell so was expecting this video to be awful but it sounds good. Especially considering it’s a lot higher than a normal person so I thought it’d be even worse. Maybe it’s just the best bit without the wind and that could be why it’s edited down. Would love to see the whole concert
Gary Clail...support act, blew some of the speakers with their "Tackhead" bass attitude about 30 minutes into their set...impacted Stone Roses sound when they came on
@@steveburchill9033 but I don’t understand how a support act beforehand would affect them if they were playing after. Then again I don’t know much about audio production😂
I hope the whole gig is in celluloid & then we can hopefully be able to digitally enhance the sound & vision. Definitely a seminal moment in my life. I am the resurrection!!
I’ve heard the stories about the sound being blown away by the wind coming from the estuary but I haven’t seen a story about the band being crap. I have mates who went to the gig and one of them wasn’t into E and cannabis so he watched it sober and he said the band were great. The rest of my mates who went were so pilled up that they can’t remember!!
It's great to see footage like this. I didn't get the chance to go to this event, I was sitting on a hill at the bottom of a school in Runcorn, looking at the back of the stage from across the water.. The sound was amazing while hearing the Roses, aswell as 808 state..
I'm 14 nearly 15 there is no music like this any more, I have had this music passed down from my dad to me and for once I'm jealous that he got to see the stone Rosesm
First time footage of a gig that was criminally never filmed & subsequently unreleased too of coarse - so v interesting viewing here for first time - audio's pretty good too - thanx for uploading. Peace - Love IS The Answer. Rx
Thank you for posting this. I wasn't alive when the stone roses were together so to see this is amazing, I'd do anything to travel back in time to spike island if it were possible
The time was now we had 3 full car's down from ABERDEEN never to be forgotten what a bounce no mobile phones and no cops on the island the joint's and the Ez were everywhere old man now 52 LOVE THAT TIME
Saw them at Legends in Warrington (a night club under the Rugby League Club stand) in March 89, 14 months later I was back to see them here - a fantastic, wild ride
A lot of people who were there that day say that the sound was bad, but it sounds really clear on the video. I've also read that the "fan" that shot this footage was one of the crew and recorded it from one of the sound towers, which would explain why it's so clear.
It begins with a disclaimer that is a fan made video shot by an amateur ... now, is it just me or is this the most energy captured, the best audio mix, and the closest Ian has been in the area code of "In Tune" of any live footage of a Roses show? I've hear Noel comment that the sound was crap (backed by a lot of other folk's opinion who were there) because of the wind but this video provides a the most distinctly "live" sound and I'm just floored. From the opening on, the energy is just unbelievable. I'm wondering why this is regarded more as an "event" rather than a concert because this the Roses I thought I was going to see when they finally made it out the States. THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sound on the day was absolutely crap, it was drifting about so badly and I don't recall it being particularly windy, know that Evans scrimped on the production and didn't spend enough on the PA. Most of this footage must've been filmed from the scaffolding tower that the main desk was situated in, judging the height and angle of the shot, how an ordinary fan got up there and stayed there with a video camera makes me think it was someone either connected with the band or the road crew who's filmed it. Brings back some memories, funny that all the 'major' Roses gigs I was at weren't that memorable [this, Aly Paly, but not Blackpool] but the smaller ones either just before they made it big [Bradford] or just after [Leeds] were the best gigs I've ever been to, at Leeds Poly they were absolutely mind-blowing!
***** It wouldn't surprise me if a new album is released next year, and some sort of "deluxe edition" comes with the full vid of this gig. Someone at Sony / close to the band must have the full recording.
sugar ray robinson. They were very, very good times mate, I won't deny it, great music, good friends [and some other things that I won't mention in public.]
So many young people looking back on this and saying how amazing it is. That's how punk started! Kids looking back and thinking older music was better and then changing it all up and making it there own, it'll happen again!
This is quality footage ! Heard it existed but never thought i'd see this. I had a bootleg tape (!) of this years ago which sounded crap in comparison. Love the music they come on to as well!
Please someone build me a fucking time machine.

Bonehead's van! If I remember rightly- you can see it on Google images, it's even got his name on the side because it was his work van.
was only 12 when they played here, was just getting into them in my early teens then finally saw them at Brixton in 95 but without Reni.......but then did see the four of them together again a Heaton Park a few years ago :-) absolutely amazing day.
People say that the sound was shit but was a fuckin amazing atmosphere also drug heaven
Bloody hell brings back memories that does. I was near the front and had to bail out for a breather after the 3rd song. Was absolutely wrecked. Never been in a crowd like that before or since.
And things were never the same again. Not a phone or camera in sight, everyone in the moment. As a committed Roses fan in my 50th year now, it makes me melancholy about what they could have been. I was with Oasis from small shows to the huges ones - great, great times, but a part of me will always feel that we missed the next Beatles. Ian has gone on to do some profound work... but is guess sometimes the star is too bright. And I still want to know who's got Ian's bongo's when he slid them down at the end...
I think they would've used phones... If they had them! Lmao.
Back in 1990 there weren't any camera phones.
But I agree, it's so much nicer to live in the moment, and not see everyone shoving their phones in the air for their Instagram story, like anyone cares, with the other 20,000 ig stories.
But it does create the opportunity for good memories, and not losing your friends! Lol
@@Ravioliyt It does, but can you be "there" - in the moment ? free in mind and spirit ? if your watching it though a screen ? As the man (ian brown) said - I think it was at the warm-up gig in Parr hall before the Heaton park shows,"put your phones away, you're taking a memory of an experience you haven't lived..." -
It's Crazy that I am go on UA-cam and find great live footage of complete gigs by The Beatles, The Doors, Hendrix, The Smiths, etc... but pretty much this is it for the Roses 89-90.
Except Blackpool of course, but that is very "dark" and amateurishly filmed.
Total group consicousness, everyone tied together by these four spirits❤.
I'm 67 and I was there with my f family and 2 dogs what a day the best of myy life
@@felina7849 so they told me at the gates so i handed him the leads told him to look after them and carried on walking then he shouted me back smiling and handed me the leads my 2 eldest sons got me 2 tickets for father's day gift from Smash Hits magazine so we all went 12y old son 13yold son there 13yold mate my girlfriend 1y old daughter plus pushchair and my 3y old toddler son i also managed to get in 5lt home wine one of the best father's day gifts ever beat's socks and underpants anyday
I was there...15 years old, my mum let me go :) Thanks mum!
All the way to Widnes on a double decker, orange GM bus'! What a gig! MVITA! Never seen any footage before.
30 years ago today. 30 years! Damn.
Here after having bought a ticket for the Spike Island Resurrection gig in May. Even though it’s just tribute bands I can honestly say I can’t wait to experience what my parents did 30 years ago, in the exact same location, jamming to the exact same tunes. Going to be mental
Can’t wait meself man going to be unreal
How was it?.
I wasn't far from the structure in the middle of the field. I remember someone near me selling drugs and there was an orderly queue. Seriously. I miss those hippy days.
Is this genuine then?
This makes me sad because I'm only 16
I wasn't a very good gig really. sound was awful. you are lucky to catch them today's age. better sound better organised gig. and a mobile to catch it on. much better today than then.
Nah to be there in the moment would be better than watching their retirement fund project nowerdays
+Bevend M8 - please i am trying to ease his pain.
I am sad too becouse I am only 26
Don't worry mate. You are part of the family.
A great day and the best speed ever off some local scallys. 🙌
i was there..i,m 47 now..and hardley remember lol..week after i was in blackpool for inspiral carpets..great days
Cannae believe am going too see this band in 2016 never thought it was gonna happen n now it is ✌️🍋
See em at the Etihad in 2016, fuckin brilliant!!🤪😁
If this footage has been edited down to 10 mins, surely the whole concert was taped on video at the time? Someone must have it! Listened to the bootleg on cassette for years, and agree with other comments that it sounded great.
it was supposedly never 'officially' recorded. but there has to be someone who has it
3:13 geez! the crowd are insane. bouncing up and down. i've never seen that. they meant something.
My dad was one lucky man to have seen that
This DOES sound better than on the day, but I would not change a thing( simply formed the building blocks to my life ) the whole day, the people I met & the atmosphere
Mad to think this fucking happened now we’re looking back at it 30,000 people woke up that day knowing where they were going knowing what they were doing peace and love with everyone just there for the music the one thing which brought the pre internet generation looking at it and thinking about it .IT WAS A MASTERPEICE !!!!!
Such rare video footage like this only adds to the urban legendary status of that gig. I was 13 in May '90 and didn't go, but would have loved to have been there.
25 thumb's down? The sound was shit on the day but what a day! History made on this day
Didn’t go , could have but decided not as I had seen them maybe 20 times before including in 87 in Manchester and infront of 40 people in all the London Polly venues and Alexander Palace so didn’t want to go to this - really regret it ! As other have said best band ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever and so on for ever love the roses for ever , thank you for the Music x
I was there I'm forty four and was at Glasgow green the same tour both excellent gigs.brings a tear to my eye
For what it's worth. i think this is crew shot footage. from the mixer / lighting tower and tripod shot. nevertheless an important find.
"Shot by a fan on an amateur video camera" haha was he hanging off the scaffolding 10 feet in the air in the centre of the crowd?
RockaFella this thought did cross my mind too ahhaha
Shot by G.Evans,I bet!Hence the coy note at beginning.
RockaFella Yeah, did he have the camera in the air on a giant stick ?
Lol, i did wonder if this 'amateur camera' came with it's own portable tripod at all! Also, had the 'fan' got no mates with him? 'cos there's usually always someone muttering nearby! That said, it was great to see after all these years. Never knew any video existed. So well done for posting 👍
The entire soundcheck the day before was shot, everything was shot from the construction of the stage to the fireworks display at the end of the gig.
Look on the channel EpaxB (I'm assuming he/she is one of the owners of the footage) they have even commented on one of their own uploads that the disclaimer at the beginning of this video is wrong and that there is loads more footage of the whole show out there and that only a handful of people have seen it, apparently someone somewhere doesn't want this fully out there and had only agreed to snippets of the gig to be released.
Ian Brown sounds class here. Shame the sound was blown all over the place.
Sound sounds alright on this
@@Alanhardman69420 oh yeah, the sound is fine on this! Apparently from people that attended it was shocking
@@JordanSM1997 ye I heard that aswell so was expecting this video to be awful but it sounds good. Especially considering it’s a lot higher than a normal person so I thought it’d be even worse. Maybe it’s just the best bit without the wind and that could be why it’s edited down. Would love to see the whole concert
Gary Clail...support act, blew some of the speakers with their "Tackhead" bass attitude about 30 minutes into their set...impacted Stone Roses sound when they came on
@@steveburchill9033 but I don’t understand how a support act beforehand would affect them if they were playing after. Then again I don’t know much about audio production😂
Imagine a concert with no cell phones..
Can confirm that Ian Brown shouting at you to "DO IT NOW" is one hell of a way to cure your own procrastination.
"who is and who isn't"
That crowd looks insane, would loved to be in the mix of that
Gotta love how everyone is bouncing in unison.
I hope the whole gig is in celluloid & then we can hopefully be able to digitally enhance the sound & vision. Definitely a seminal moment in my life. I am the resurrection!!
Makes me sad that this will never happen again, I’m 15 and it’s sad that our generation that actually appreciates this music will never get to see it
Awesome footage - thanks for this!!!
This is mega! Thanks so much for posting this.
A lot of people said Ian was crap and the sound was shit but it was the wind blowing the sound away
wow 770+ mph winds, sounds pretty rough.
Yeah, nobody thought of what effect holding a gig right on a riverbank might have on the sound.
I’ve heard the stories about the sound being blown away by the wind coming from the estuary but I haven’t seen a story about the band being crap. I have mates who went to the gig and one of them wasn’t into E and cannabis so he watched it sober and he said the band were great. The rest of my mates who went were so pilled up that they can’t remember!!
i think Ian never sounded good live ever
Did Cressa just have to do that same side to side shuffle non stop for the whole show? That must have been the best job in the world!
He had a nominal role adjusting Squire's effects pedals. It was mainly a 'Bez' vibes role though
@@lucasm3879 not pedals but just a simple multi FX unit
The best day, with all its imperfections. Would go back in a heartbeat
i love cresssaaa
I was 27 and i was stood near the back with my mates , awesome , so glad to see this thank you
ah man thank you!!!! Made me shed a tear or two - what a fab gig memorieeeees lol
Thanks for sharing fella, great footage :-)
Thank you for finding and uploading this! Amazing footage! Never seen this before, cheers. 😘
I was there!!! great to see this... brings it all back :)))))))
Never tire of watching this
It's great to see footage like this. I didn't get the chance to go to this event, I was sitting on a hill at the bottom of a school in Runcorn, looking at the back of the stage from across the water.. The sound was amazing while hearing the Roses, aswell as 808 state..
crowd look well up for it right the way through, no chin stroking going on
I'm 14 nearly 15 there is no music like this any more, I have had this music passed down from my dad to me and for once I'm jealous that he got to see the stone Rosesm
First time footage of a gig that was criminally never filmed & subsequently unreleased too of coarse - so v interesting viewing here for first time - audio's pretty good too - thanx for uploading. Peace - Love IS The Answer. Rx
Thank you for posting this. I wasn't alive when the stone roses were together so to see this is amazing, I'd do anything to travel back in time to spike island if it were possible
I love the "DO IT NOW!" bit. I actually find quite uplifting and inspirational.
The time was now we had 3 full car's down from ABERDEEN never to be forgotten what a bounce no mobile phones and no cops on the island the joint's and the Ez were everywhere old man now 52 LOVE THAT TIME
@@stevenanderson8620 Nice! I was only 5 then 😂
You could feel the ground moving under your feet never seen so many pairs of fairs in all my day all hail the ROSES
Saw them at Legends in Warrington (a night club under the Rugby League Club stand) in March 89, 14 months later I was back to see them here - a fantastic, wild ride
I often think about that show,it was the last time i saw my wallet.
F
That’s a W shows you had a class time
I lose my wallet to travel back in time and attend that gig!!
They held the world in their hands! Only got to see them play once at The Ally Pally. Amazing gig.
I can smell the E in the crowd from here man!
I didn't think that E has a smell.
Just the fuckin best🏴🍀🇮🇪
A lot of people who were there that day say that the sound was bad, but it sounds really clear on the video. I've also read that the "fan" that shot this footage was one of the crew and recorded it from one of the sound towers, which would explain why it's so clear.
Holy shit man....... Crowd look out this world !!!!
Was there on my 17th Birthday so glad there's some footage from that day
It begins with a disclaimer that is a fan made video shot by an amateur ... now, is it just me or is this the most energy captured, the best audio mix, and the closest Ian has been in the area code of "In Tune" of any live footage of a Roses show? I've hear Noel comment that the sound was crap (backed by a lot of other folk's opinion who were there) because of the wind but this video provides a the most distinctly "live" sound and I'm just floored. From the opening on, the energy is just unbelievable. I'm wondering why this is regarded more as an "event" rather than a concert because this the Roses I thought I was going to see when they finally made it out the States. THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i feel the same, mate. it's mind boggling.
The sound on the day was absolutely crap, it was drifting about so badly and I don't recall it being particularly windy, know that Evans scrimped on the production and didn't spend enough on the PA. Most of this footage must've been filmed from the scaffolding tower that the main desk was situated in, judging the height and angle of the shot, how an ordinary fan got up there and stayed there with a video camera makes me think it was someone either connected with the band or the road crew who's filmed it. Brings back some memories, funny that all the 'major' Roses gigs I was at weren't that memorable [this, Aly Paly, but not Blackpool] but the smaller ones either just before they made it big [Bradford] or just after [Leeds] were the best gigs I've ever been to, at Leeds Poly they were absolutely mind-blowing!
*****
It wouldn't surprise me if a new album is released next year, and some sort of "deluxe edition" comes with the full vid of this gig. Someone at Sony / close to the band must have the full recording.
*****
ya jammy git!, i envy you, mate.
sugar ray robinson.
They were very, very good times mate, I won't deny it, great music, good friends [and some other things that I won't mention in public.]
cressa dancing was fantastic
I was there that night.great concert.
So many young people looking back on this and saying how amazing it is. That's how punk started! Kids looking back and thinking older music was better and then changing it all up and making it there own, it'll happen again!
This is quality footage ! Heard it existed but never thought i'd see this. I had a bootleg tape (!) of this years ago which sounded crap in comparison. Love the music they come on to as well!
there are some good cd and vinyl bootlegs around so it was recorded in full somewhere
Being from Widnes it still blows my mind to the fact this happened I know my time machine destination
Wool
I'd give anything to see this gig in full like this...
Pure magic!!! 🍋🍋🍋🍋
