The Stone Roses - Madison Square Garden 300616

This is a fan-made edit using footage from You Tube and donated by concertgoers. Made for the love of the band and free for the fans during covid lockdown as a project that helped keep me sane. I discovered through many hours of editing and different shots and angles just how together they were as a band on that night. The shared looks, the way they supported each other and adjusted if anything went wrong. I felt privileged to have seen that close-up and tried to highlight as many of those looks and moments in the edit. This truly was one of their best performances not only at the reunion. The footage and music are solely owned by the band. I want to thank them for allowing this to stay up for all the fans. One Love.

Me and my wife got engaged at the top of the Empire State Building the day before this show. We were of course there. Best week of my entire life.

[retromuel]

Reni really is a fucking great drummer.

[stevendenton]

I use to live just down the road from John in Manchester in the late 80's and early 90's, along from the Southern Cemetery, you'd see him walking about with his guitar over his shoulder even after they got big, and the paint shop they got their ammo from when they made their famous attack on the Revolver records owner was just round the corner in Northenden, I was at Spike Island, though I don't remember that much!, and TBH I don't remember it being that good either, it's funny how it's become an iconic gig now, I was 21 and still one of the oldest there lol, but as a Stone Roses fan back in the day you felt a massive loyalty to the band, like they were part of your family, I remember defending them to my mates and then going back home a year later and everyone was dressed like them & danced like Ian and loved them, at the time I hated that more than when everyone hated them, it seems like yesterday but another lifetime ago, and I know that doesn't make sense, but it's hard to explain, it's like a dream now, but it was the best time of my life

[mydayis]

Reni should be in every conversation when discussing the greatest drummers of all time. He’s ‘otherworldly’ good!

[carolfury]

This concert made me come alive again. It’s fantastic surely I am not too old at 75 to love Ian Brown. Thanks for this I am jumping up and down.

I walked into my mate's bedroom and he was playing This Is The One.
I took some acid, listened to the whole album.
Tried to get my sister to lend me her album so I could copy it to tape. She wouldn't let me.
I stole it from her.
I still have it over 30 years later, perfect condition.
I will give her back one day.

Big thank you to Stephen Hillman for the incredible job. A super production that will bring tears to the eyes of every fan.

[GayeDenyer]

John Squire rescued Guitar culture when it wasn't cool. More power to his elbow, been listening to this a lot through lockdown.

[jonathandunseath]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why The Stone Roses are the best band Britain ever produced.

[matthewrider]

If they didn't sell it out, they came damned close. And whoever was there really got a special treat. Cheers, from America

[leefarman]

Ian is on form here
He has sounded appalling in the past but he’s spot on here
It’ll be a long time before a band comes along to match the roses

[eqmcgoon]

That drummer has unshackled his limbs from each other. Those are just mad polyrhythms.

[larrydavid]

I'm delighted for them that they were able to do this and secure themselves financially. They deserved it.

[chevalier]

Reni, Mani and Squire have that rare talent. They sound like they're playing a different song and the same song at the same exact time. Also I'll never not be able to love Ian Brown.

[graymccavish]

i had a staring out contest with Ian Brown at Liverpool Uni. in 1989.I was a wide eyed teenager and in awe.I only won because he had to start singing.The contest lasted pretty much for the whole intro of adored. i turn 50 next week and it seems like a lifetime ago.

[andyhopkins]

I am from Manchester the Stone Roses are a way of life for us their music pours out of every car every kitchen window and every kids ipod we sing the songs to our kids who in turn sing to their kids the music of all generations. The band that inspireds generations!

[judasrefusal]

Fucking awesome the played "Don't Stop" which is 'Waterfall" played backwards note for note and they nailed it both backwards and forwards. That's fucking hard to do.

[KENDZIification]

At this show especially, Reni is John Bohnam and Buddy Rich at the same time. He's a world class athlete at his craft and is playing so hard and fast that it makes sense that this was essentially it. Boy, did he show it in this performance. A ridiculous talent. Don't worry, fellow drummers in the biz definitely know of Reni.

[udeychowdhury]

Dear Steve Hillman, on behalf of all Roses fans, thank you!!!

[ianhumm]
