  1. No Stone Roses equals no Achtung Baby.
    That's how important they are. Simple.

    I've always thought they were very interesting, but I only have the "love spreads" CD-single.

    They also did a song that is claimed to be the inspiration for Discotèque (Bono has admitted to it): Begging You.

  2. Begging You is a great song.

    Thanks for posting this video - I'd never seen it before.

    Thanks to Ian Macdonald who recorded all three days, also whose notes regarding quality I will post below.

    Day one: Given the circumstances, the recording is surprisingly listenable, but it is not up to my usual standard.

    Day two: Rather than stand a few metres from the back of the pit, I went all the way back today and stood with my back against the barrier. That was partially to eliminate any chance of flying beer landing on me, but also in the hope of reducing crowd noise. It backfired to a certain degree, due to the non-paying guests behind me, but their chatter was intermittent, at least, and doesn't ruin the recording. I also had the impression that the gig was slightly less loud tonight, but that could be just my imagination. Anyway, I would once again caution you not to expect miracles from a recording obtained in a field full of 75,000 drunken revellers. The recording is listenable, but overall not as good as Friday's in my opinion.

    Day three: The Sunday recording is, thanks in no small part to the better behaved crowd, the best of the three. As mentioned above, Ian is more out of tune on this one, but the performance of the band as a unit more than compensates for it. Whereas the Friday and Saturday recordings are, perhaps, primarily of interest to those who were there and who wish to have a memento by which to remember the experience, the Sunday recording is one I would recommend for general listening. It captures the performance very well and is one that I can imagine returning to time and time again, whether or not you were there on the night.

    So, once again, don't expect miracles. The recording isn't amongst my best, but it is genuinely very good. If you are looking for just one recording of the Heaton Park gigs, this is the one to get.


  7. Tickets booked for one of the live satellite screenings:M

    More info regarding venues here.
  8. ^ Tomorrow night, I checked today to see the running time and it's apparently 3 hours and 10 minutes Yes!

    Anyone else catching it?
  9. That was absolute quality. A lot more people there than I expected, full of laughs throughout and of course, great music. Even my brother, who isn't a big Roses fan, really enjoyed it. Excellent blend of old footage, new footage, and live footage that served to celebrate their existence, not dig up past issues.

    Agreed. Wouldn't have minded some more interviews, especially after the Amsterdam debacle. That said, Fools Gold at the end was breathtaking.
  11. Fools Gold was incredible.
  12. Did you enjoy the unbelievably pissed woman at the Q & A afterwards. I almost died laughing.
