The Stone Roses Live at the Haçienda + Reni interviewed

(Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister filmed for Snub TV with a tiny bit of Reni speaking. That quote about being 'the biggest band in our street' had made it onto numerous pieces written about the band. Both the gig and the interview took place in Haçienda on January 30, 1989, or, according to a different source, on February 27.
Here's a pretty good NME review of the gig:

@saracen09767 You really must be unemployed. WHoo. The usual gist from that lot; "blaaaaaaaaaaah" and then something about Oasis. Again. Critically acclaimed? I explained to you before the differences between COMMERCIAL and CRITICAL success. One is about record sales, which doesn't indicate quality.

Oasis did some decent stuff, but nothing legendary. The Stone Roses had it all, and I'm glad they didn't become too successful, look what that did to Oasis! Naffness.

@saracen09767 You just can't let it go, can you? You've lost, little boy, I've proven you wrong with facts, and all you can claim is the notion commercial success is a better indicator than critical acclaim. What a dunce you are.

[MrThreshold2009]

@saracen09767 Nice to see you did learn something from me; "petulant". Shame the rest of your language skills are so shambolic. As idiotic as your opinions, in fact. I see you're desperate for the last word to save some face, but there's no point. You've lost, kid. Go off to bed now.

@saracen09767 You've been busy insulting pretty much everyone, dumbo. You're such a hypocrite it's untrue - try and get that reality check, fucker, you need it.

[MrThreshold2009]

@saracen09767 You stumped new lows with that. I'd get off to bed now, kid, and try and sleep this one out of your memory. You will have a terrible hangover from embarrassment tomorrow!

[MrThreshold2009]

@saracen09767 I'm glad you're willing to admit my superiority here. That's nice we can leave it like that. Glad you've calmed yourself down - just remember, sales count for nought. It's quality you want! This should streer you towards better music in future.

[MrThreshold2009]

@saracen09767 You seem to have run out of insults now. I'm glad my point has finally swayed you now, either that or your manic cackling is your brain imploding due to the confusion you've worked yourself into. I advised you earlier to try reading a book; I take that back and strongly advise you to stick with the Sun. Listen to Waterfall.... sorry, Wonderwall. I wonder where that title came from? I wanna be myself?

[MrThreshold2009]

@saracen09767 Tell yourself whatever you want, dear, you have no idea. Haha.

Watch the game last night? Yelled at any birds from scaffolding, bruv?

[MrThreshold2009]

@saracen09767 "Facetious". Seriously, you need to look this word up so that you can tell I'm winding you up. Mind you, I am quite enjoying your unending attempts to knock me down. Failing miserably - have you not noticed?

[MrThreshold2009]

@saracen09767 You really are clueless. Even I picked up on that one. Pffft. Hardly working class, are you?

And why am I still here? I have work tomorrow, so I'm not out "raving" or speeding in my pimped up car. I guess you're unemployed, being working class. And I can multi-task, I'm not just sitting here waiting for you to reply. Bad luck if you don't have that skill. That's being working class for you.
