Stone Roses Wembley.

This was the best concert that i have ever been to. the atmosphere was fantastic,the group wonderful and well words escape me. Tim Burgess was sited by a friend of mine and we met up with about 12 people from my village by sheer fluke. 

The songs played were fantastic in mythical proportions:sweeping rhymic wonderful guitartastic virual poems were leaping from john squires guitar as he played like a guitar deity, John Squire not sounding shit, fantastic drumming but with one beat missed on one song!!!!!!.

The crowd was amazing except i seemed to be a magnet from people with entertaining drugs problems. The sort of same as normal live set was played and as an encore the stone roses roadies crew played purple haze, fantastic.the manics were awesome too but there was a lack of available merchendise.may the Roses live forever.

(as long as they can be bothered to produce new material)

Not a bad concert, I've seen them play better and enjoy it a whole lot more. I think the crowd in the standing area were a bunch of idiots, why did'nt they dance between bands and enjoy the funk? I was overwhelmed by a C86 (NME Crap Indie Compilation) feeling that things (Changed by 89) had gone back rather than forward. 

This was not due to the Roses but due to the fact that it was a trendy "media drugged" crowd in the Standing Area. I will see them again at a better venue and City.

P.S. (Non Concert Related) I met a English Lady working in Hong Kong who refused to come back to Britain, because she thought that British public opinion was controlled by the media! Does anyone agree?
