[SuperMrkaboom]

[jhwoasis93]

heaton park will be the new spike island.

[MsPussylounge]

Funny how you remember things and I always remembered that little wooden bridge you walked over after showing your tickets just goes to show you are only on this planet for a very short time because it was 21 years ago that concert

[rosemonkey]

That's superb. Almost brings a grown man to tears

[gmax777]

What's spongebob squarepants doing at 4.18???

[themusicbod]

@gmax777 You are the first one to see this apart from me ! I dont know what it is? Looks like a small alien with outstretched arms...its seriously weird

[MyFavouriteShop]

Debussy or Ravel rarely reached this level of beauty.

[spencermax]

such a perfect day...great film that. Thank you

[freddiegibbs101]

Jesus christ ..... where has this been all my life? Amazing amazing work.

[Borthbury]

21 years ago. Right now.

[joaquin8996]

@baleariclife89 ¿In Manchester a sunny day...?It's no valid DOPING.jajaja ¡¡THE FIRST  EXTASY GENERATION!!.

[Borthbury]

Lovely video, and great piano work. Really evocative for me. I have returned many times since the Roses gig on 27 May 1990, and this video captures the bleak beauty of the place.

Thinking of Seán Murray RIP, who I went to see the Roses with.

[FrowningIke]

Was that the canal path that goes to Penketh you were filming at?

[FrowningIke]

I was 17 at this gig and lived in Penketh, just down the road. This will always be one of the best days of my life!

[joaquin8996]

Sorry but It's horrible place.It's normal that you have very good music with that land and weather.¡¡ARRIBA SPACE IBIZA!!

[nanaroyale]

[dodger555]

[nealtracy]

This is such a poignant and beautiful piece of film....My God how utterly brilliant were The Stone Roses....I still miss them!.......An absolute pleasure to have been in my prime just as they were!.....The kids today just dont know what they missed!

[balearicsoundwave89]

@nealtracy are you going to heaton park .

[nealtracy]

@balearicsoundwave89 .....Unfortunately not mate....I now live in Australia and will sadly have to miss it!...But its gonne be just brilliant!

[dodger555]

Stone Roses' Spike Island gig backdrop to new film 2011 Check out the BBC News Website for full story.

Maybe they could use this beautiful piece in the film? Get in touch with Channel 4's Tom Green.

[nealtracy]

[bobdylanshair]

[oneloveninja]

[STOKEOZ1967]

i wish the roses would have done a 20 th anniversary show, as i was gutted not to be at spike island, what a year that was, with madchester, baggy jeans, italia '90, top tunes, rave on!

[norrisonthespot]

Wow! I am pleasantly surprised by this interpretation of one of my favourite Stone Roses songs. Well done indeed. This is great. (fun to play on guitar as well as the chords are simple enough)

[retromanc]

hello themusicbod. as a person typically found trawling youtube for good stuff, I'm now reassessing my own interpretation of quality. this is an emotive and perfectly arranged bit of music, full credit to you, all the best.

[mods75]

[TherymasterWidnes]

This is MY TOWN!

WIDNES TIL I DIE!

[richymoore]

It ain't where you're from mate, its where you're at. (Ian Brown- Spike Island)

[Domaniche1]

one word for this and that is BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[twobyfour]

Mate, I just bought it of itunes tonite. Outstanding. Really, you`ve come up with something special.

[themusicbod]

Stone Roses for Piano album is available now on itunes for £5

[printer944]

this is amazing glad I listned to it as I wasnt going too, it really is amazing,

[ShohokuAlumni]

This version is chaotically delightful. It made my Fruit Loops taste better than ever before!

[reniisgod]

Epic stuff, is this version available in Mp3 format anywhere?

[Parky7567]

Thought the original was amazing but this is out of my world

[TonyUK123]

record this and get this out - I would buy this...... I would get buried to this,,

[renzoc]

Seriously, this is what Youtube was made for!!!! For brilliant sh*t like this! Thanks man this is awesome.

[haitens5252]

Beautiful...................pu­re class

wasn't at the gig I was only 9 at the time love the stone roses music but never got to see them live......that's the weird thing about it this has made me feel nostalgic about something I was too young to remember

[ModDaughter23]

Superb interpretation and very touching too...

[e3designlab]

i wanna play piano

[MrGavinmiddleton]

this made me cry

[MrPge1970]

As a man approacing 40 years of age and a Roses fan of over 20 years, this brought me to tears. A very emotive performance and video.

A superb interpretation of a beautiful song.

If I may be so bold, any chance of your version of "There is a light that never goes out"?

Well done, superb stuff.

[bobbyjaymutch]

@MrPge1970 as a man approaching 40 also think this is got to be piano at its best wsome tribute to the best band ever.

[cutloosebruce]

mega !!

[ramma77]

.... this is absolutely amazing. I have goosebumps listening to this.

[sugarraygras]

As you already know this is great. Get an album together and I will buy it. The strong melodies of the Roses lends itself well to your chosen instrument. .......Dont stop!

[riptup]

Absolutely superb. Is there any way I can get a HQ MP3?

[elephantstone1982]

hats off man......class!!

[foreverashcroft]

well said ..pure pure fkn class..rem that day..

[C5LUP]

I've never left a comment before but when you come across the best video on YouTube then I guess it would be rude not to! This is just sheer class in every department. Haunting, eerie, poignant, nostalgic, magical, moving etc..... I've watched this over & over and it grabs my attention just as much now as it did the first time I saw it. If Brown,Mani,Squire&Reni saw this they would be the first to shake your hand. Don't wanna sound like Andy Gray but....."Take a bow, son !!!!!!"

[TCOSDMMMT]

this is absolutely brilliant, great job. really, very well done.

[samnninty]

so beautiful

[hi2babs]

this makes me cry it's beautiful

[Pedgerow]

As I started listening to this, I thought, "How will he be able to capture the euphoric lifting chorus with just a piano?". It turns out you didn't need to; your interpretation of the chorus was brilliant and innovative. You just gave me what I didn't know I wanted, and that's my definition of art. I even watched the video to the end before writing this comment, because even the images were well done.

[johnnydido]

amazing song i love this.

[McCann82]

beautiful

[chrisspencer6]

This is just simply stunning. Hard to hold back the tears, my great friens Martin would love this.....

[Njai74]

Throw yer hats intae the air... simply stunning! (8<()

[dazzy262]

absolute fukin amazing mate

[Dwarfinspired]

Please put this on itunes. I really want this on my ipod -legally

[horacevsthespiders]

Shit. Just cried! Remember skinning up for half of the preceding evening at my bessie mate's dad's house then hiding the spliffs in smarties tuber down me keks!

[CHATTS39]

Fucking awesome man , brings a tear to my eye remembering the gig happy whacky days

[coventry35]

I walked over the big bridge on that day on the way to the gig, so the memories flooded back right at the beginning & I wore the same shirt you have at the end. To cap it off the music is an amazing achievement! Thankyou

[Dwarfinspired]

You know i always thought that any cover of a Stone Roses tune would be terrible, You've just proved me wrong

[dodger555]

Haunting and beautiful.

I heard the original yesterday for the very first time... and now I found your cover, If I never hear another tune again, it doesn't matter, I'll still go to the grave a very happy man. My life is now complete.

Thank you.

[Portis1Luv]

I wish I could have been there. Hey, the piano is tops!

[eivaar]

Brilliant, absolute class. When the t-shirt arrived at the end I was almost in tears. Thank you!

[wongowonga]

back again!! This is really beautiful

[mufcstokesy]

that is a class version. sounds unreal !

[ThePieFellow]

I think your piano version proves just how perfect the roses were (and still would be if they listened to mani), I doubt may of their contempories music would stand up to being transfered to piano

[R3V0L0T10N]

absolute legend version of a already legend song.. wish i was around when that gig was on!

[GerryJoe]

fucking class man!

[rickstill122]

great idea. Perfect.

[bazyamr1]

Really really good mate!!!

I wish i could play :-(

[snakeyjakehall]

that was very, very good.

ian and john should be proud

[WozDareDen]

Brilliant mate !

[THEYUSED2CALLMEJIMMY]

When the streets are cold and lonely

And the cars they burn below me.....

Are you all alone

Is anybody home?

[takemethere219]

This is so beautiful...cheers.

[ummagumma5]

alright any chance of another roses cover

[J0J0717]

Great version of a great song. Is there anywhere to download this?

[libertineoasis]

you are a genius

[donning]

Haha - hey it's not wise to go calling people Scouse cunts on videos set in Widnes; I'll set Leon on you.

[trexty2]

Not afeared of him or you.

[donning]

Your spoiling this man's video. Do you have to comment on everything on my page? First Tony, now this.

[trexty2]

I feel terrible now. I'll try to stay away.

There's always one to spoil it for everybody else isn't there? And it's always me..

[donning]

Actually now that I think, I never went to Spike Island at all. I was thinking of Showaddywaddy live at Crewe Lyceum Theatre.

[trexty2]

That's just gorgeous. Well done.

[donning]

You didn't even know what it was until I just told you.

[Gallagher1984]

=::::::(

[humbert15]

Fantastic - good effort!

[STEVEFINNERTY]

nice !,,

[dnm214]

what a great piece of music. you`ve done yourself proud. i missed the roses in their prime but saw them in glasgow around 94-95. no reni in the band then but it was still one of the greatest nights of my life. thanks again for a great version of a great song.

[cowyedsrus]

You little beauty this is damn fine!!!! and bless you for going filming in the shite weather.

I was at Spike Island WHAT A DAY !!! it was lovely and sunny ,fantastic atmosphere ... I passed out a few times hey hey ....but it was one of the best days of my life :)

[ap01998]

beautiful

[STFCstoneroses]

STONE ROSES FOREVER

[stoneroseslover]

fucking great arrangement m8!

[mack245]

Great stuff, I adore the Roses and this makes me fell all nostalgic.

Hope Squire/Brown can finally bury the hatchet and come back and blow us all away again.

Sadly I wont hold my breath for that to happen :-(

[lastburger]

im loving this!

[NorthernSoulLeon]

STILL the best cover of this tune on the whole net!!!

We any closer to this spike island meet? ;-)

[squirehorse]

man im feeling very nostalgic for a gig i wasnt at! great great version of MOS. reminds me of that 'explosions in the sky' sky song thats on 28 days later, real creepy.....the video gives the same kind of feeling as 28 days lter aswel!there was once funand life in those fields! well done again

[rich31408]

I think it's great that you have paid homage to the memory of Spike Island, what a gig that was! I'm proud to have been a part of it. Your arrangement of Made Of Stone seems so fitting, awesome piece of music.

Thanks for posting this, much appreciated.

Rich.

[godmaster101]

orite song

[vadar03]

everyone who knows me knows my love 4 the roses,,this has completly blown me away,,,,,,brilliant,,,,,, im gonna press this onto a 7 inch for my collection,,,,and keep on cd for my funeral,, i kid you not,,,,,,, amazing

[sumpan86]

"im gonna press this onto a 7 inch", press a couple for me if you are able to make it.

themusicbod: im gonna have this version on my burial. if you are unable to play it when im dead, please post the tab.

im a roses oasis fan and seen a lot of covers but this was amazing, it stunned me with JUST music from the beginning.

/ swe-sthlm-sumpan!

[OnionTerror2007]

Fabulous arrangement there. I seem to remember there being more people than that though! ;)

[mad3arber]

mad had 2 put my tea down and turn it up. you got a real good sound are you using a delay or just reverb?

[thepretender99]

woweee!

thats actually amazing, congratulations!!

I'm only 17 and so unfortunately wasn't around for the roses heyday! but that doesnt change the fact they're my favourite band... this is so beautiful, do you have the sheet music? is there any way i could have it?

[stu71]

Absolutely stunning, Made of Stone is my favourite Roses track. Have heard a few versions over the years but this tops the lot.

[Andrew077]

Have you put this onto a cd? I could listen to this all day, this version really adds more emotion to the song.

[slappedcheek]

the day was nice and sunny.....good vibe......lots of illegal subs.........but ian brown sung shit...........they were dissarranged.......some freaky acid and pills about though.....still buzz thinkin bout it.............fac51

[bmcateer]

Pure quality...

[GallagherWellerBrown]

Was Spike Island actually any good?

[binka75]

In an age where even the best emerging bands are 'spermarketised' ,i'm glad to hear that the Roses canbe considered Classic. And this helps. Well done! Kxx (B75)

[eamonnista]

More than a touch of Michael Nyman about that rendition. Beaurifukll!

D'you have anywhere I can download it from on mp3 file?

Cheers and well done.

Eamonn :)
