The Stone Roses (Live in Blackpool) Where Angels Play

[dairniel]

Mewe! Mewe!

[Super5000G]

the outro is just sublime!

[ucla4eva]

One of those songs that no matter how many times you hear it, the next time you hear it you're right back to when very first heard it...sad that it wasn't Blackpool Empress Ballroom 1989

[andreslog]

@pembo18 much better than Oasis

[Apemopo]

ian's dancing makes the outro even more phenomenally amazing <3

[myfriendscallme7]

reni is a god

[SuperWebslinger1]

[TripleX808]

@pembo18 just a lot, lol



[potdrum]

The stones roses are back.........

[blurry67]

from 3:28... words fail me.

[pugw5sh]

@blurry67 yep I agree, pretty fucking amazing. Shame they didn't record this longer version. Just listen to Reni's drums from 04:05 onwards

[invictorium]

stop fucking mentioning oasis, they dont even compare at all. end of it.

[atticpatio]

it is. I have it @ my channel as well, but bloody youtube has blocked it in half of the world including the UK!

[Kelly14UK]

Why was it outtaked for 3 years? Studio version's brilliant. So's Simone... Yeah, brilliant end solo here. The way they go into Shoot You Down is cool as fuck.

[modmutha]

I would happily chew me arm off to have been at this gig

[Noodles37UK]

@modmutha Yeah, but you'd never get a chance to play the guitar like Squire if you did that lol

[flaxton1973]

the bollocks..................

[THthefirst]

@pembo18 not just better than Oasis, but light years ahead musically

[joydivision808]

they had it all then blew it

[blondegolden]

Ian, darling, change your shirt. Just kidding, but he did love that money shirt, didn't he? Fantastic band, great song...

[JedOasisForever]

[sebastianudisimo]

[MrThreshold2009]

Er... Reni and a three piece kit??? Oh my God...

[akurrreyri]

[RoxaPax4]

Reni is amazing... Ian,John and Gary too. YAY I LOVE YOU

[JedOasisForever]

My Dad Was Lucky Enough To Be Here

Makes Me Wish They Were About In My Time

I Wish They Would Reform Just For One Big Gig For All Us Great Fans

To Be Honest Ian's Solo Career Is Shite 2 or 3 Decent Tunes

John Squire Fuckin About Drawing Picture For All The Posh Kids

Cmon Your Guitar Playin Is Godlike Go Bakc To That

STOP FUCKIN ABOUT LADS REFORM THE ROSES !!

[goonchistaw]

just wish i could remember the gig better !!! it was a big day out in 89

[Dbusdriver71]

Just about everyone in there were at very least drunk and at the most, totally f*ck*d up on something. Add the Stone Roses at their best and you got history!

[goonchistaw]

@Dbusdriver71 i never since that day have ever been so off my face E was me ;)

[hammurappi23]

i agree with you handsomedevil98. without Reni, they wouldn't be the same.

[carlos7217]

where it goes straight into "shoot you down"

Pure Class

[mrmjdinosaur]

3.29!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hammurappi23]

i love the guitar at the end. it's like a reflection of the song as it fades away. can't decide which version of the song is better: this or the studio version. Both have their own magic.

[handsomedevil98]

@hammurappi23 But Reni's Drums in the end! is what makes it, he goes mental~!!! with Squire's guitar!!

[carlos7217]

they had it all here,i reckon this was there peak,..wish i went ..saw in 95 and they were class,no reni but a top gig,but this is the moment they went big,.

[barrynoctor]

guiter work at the end of this tune !

[barrynoctor]

couldn't agree with you more , what an entry !!!! wreny !

[barrynoctor]

i'm on the edge of something happenin'  all the colours fade

[Dbusdriver71]

The Whole concert is legend! F*ck*n brillant. I was so lucky to have been there. but thanks to youtube I can relive it again.

[dukeofpearl]

fookin lyrics are awesome!

[Portis1Luv]

Soulful vibes over commercial vice any fookn' day.

[thecoffeshopsofamste]

and thanks....

[DavidSim1994WATP]

"Come with me to a place no likes i've ever seen"

Love it!

[anthonydoh]

It's "Come with me to a place no eyes have ever seen".

[thelunaticsings]

knob head...why stop when it kicked into shoot you down......i was enjoying that....will love roses until i stop breathing.....saw them in 95 after reni left....gutted didn't see reni...surely one of the finest drummers of his generation

[joestill]

Got this show on VHS. Used to watch it over and over and over. Just wish I'd have been old enough to see them live. Closest I got was seeing Ian Brown belt out a few Roses classics a couple of years ago.

[gadgie3]

no Roses, no oasis.

[reakingringpiece]

agree there class :)

[Waterfall64]

All indie bands these days have their songs revolve around an arbitrary bit of meaningless (supposedly) catchy yelling: "OOooo OH OH OH oh" or some variation of this. Am I stereotyping? Nope. They're all at it! It's funny yet sad.

Arcade Fire are great, though. They're worthy enough to kiss The Stone Roses' shoes.

[seangavin123]

Does anyone know where I could get this Blackpool gig on DVD Please reply to me thanks

[solarizer]

they released it few years back!

[JackM2409]

last time a seen it it was in HMV for £10, look at the music dvd bit of the shop, it should be there

[Durnerz]

HMV is where I got mine, hope this helps.

[seangavin123]

Best British Band along with Oasis??????????d

[johnf1983]

wow

[ganstahfosho]

Does anyone know of any tabs for this song? I've tried most sites and can't find any.

Also, gotta love the seamless drum outro that changes into Shoot You Down at the end, great stuff.

[Durnerz]

Squires out-tro to this is sensational.

[squirehorse]

i second that. one of my favourite guitar moments ever!

[gburny]

fuckin superb the best band of the last 20 years by a mile!!

[Waterfall64]

It's easy to find! Go into any HMV or whatever and look in the Music DVD section. I bought it straight away back in 2004. Was hoping Silvertone might actually restore the whole gig, Standing Here and Sally Cinnamon were cut from the '91 VHS release. Some nice other footage, though.

[atticpatio]

acknowledged at last LOL thanks

[ciarannevin1]

thanks a mill for this.great version.any chance of made of stone and she bangs the drums from blackpool gong up on this?

[atticpatio]

wasnt going to upload any more Blackpool tbh, enough ripping off that DVD ) Made of Stone can be found on youtube

[pirateman1989]

yeah man get the she bangs the drums up though, reni goes flippin ape mid way, thats one that i can't seem to find from this gig

[Waterfall64]

It's on the DVD from Silvertone. Just walk into an HMV or something and check the Music DVD section. Easy to find.

[pirateman1989]

yes i have the dvd, i was just asking you to upload it, i dont know how, i could learn....but id rather sit on my backside and wait for someone else to do it haha

[Waterfall64]

Good point actually, I have no idea how to upload stuff from DVDs. Some people seem to be able to get VHS stuff on here somehow.

Ian looks a bit out of it at this gig - I think that's just his stage persona. His singing's not too good at this one, Glasgow Green was his best live stuff I think. Reni's just absolutely remarkable from start to finish. Some kid from a Manchester suburb who knew he could be in any band he wanted!

[atticpatio]

Best drummer that ever has been!

Ian's best singing can be found on earlier demos, proof he actually could sing at some point

[everyoneisconnected]

@atticpatio at some point

[everyoneisconnected]

@atticpatio at some point

[lebarosky]

@Waterfall64 : this band was the guitar and the drums. rest were just adequate. could not duplicate studio sound in concert reliably. reni is an amazing, and the guitarist (Squire?) also. material is absolutely first rate. production mediocre at best including concerts.

[THthefirst]

@lebarosky Are you trying to be some sort of amateur critic?!! Do you include mani in the "adequate"? I disagree. He was not as talented as reni/squire but still very talented and played some great bass lines. He was also part of the tight band gang that was so important to their identity and their live vibe. Brown - well, yes, you have a point about his voice but then he was a great frontman.

But yes, muscially, it's first rate - esp the outro - beautiful.

[lebarosky]

@THthefirst : I am not trying. Job is easy to get. Pay is zero all you need is time on your hands and a computer. I am laid up and have time on my hands. Love the band. Their career was sad. What does reni do nowadays? You are right about mani and I withdraw the characterization.

[MrThreshold2009]

@lebarosky Reni left the band in early '95 and took himself out of the music industry, although he did some gigs with his band The Rub in Manchester during '01 (singing and lead guitar). He hasn't played drums one anything since 1994 - very little chance of him bothering ever again. A drummer like that can be any band he wants to, but obviously he's happy with his life as it is.

[THthefirst]

@lebarosky Fair enough. I agree they blew it, but then again, maybe it's better to burn out than fade away (OK, the Reading metldown was not burning out....but anyway).

Good they didn't turn into Oasis or the Roling Stones - once great bands that just turned into self-parodies and released one derivative album after another.......

Reni - don't know. Shame. What a talent. Squire has given up music and paints now I believe.
