I saw the Stone Roses play, yesterday.
Epic!
If only the drummer didn't run off to go home between set and encore, ha ha!
Mani played great! Hey really did some great soul riffs, he played some very tight unisono parts with John Squire and the boy sure knows how to groove!
He had a more aggressive sound, than I know from the old Stone Roses performances on DVD. That made the band a bit more aggressive, more rock, and better IMHO. Yesterday he switched between two Jack Casady's all the time. One was a black one with 'Hacienda stripes' (yellow/black waring stripes) and 'Mani United' on the back. The other one was, I think, a goldtop, but with a psychedelic paintjob. Think the Strat of George Harrison.
He ditched his Marshall VBA400's in favour of two Mesa 8x10s and two Mesa amps. Couldn's see which ones.
For the last song he switched to a SG Reissue Bass (Black) which sounded very, very mellow. More the old Roses sound.
Great gig!
