Full recording of The Stone Roses’ legendary Spike Island gig unearthed
The Stone Roses‘ legendary Spike Island gig has been unearthed.Up to three hours of footage, including show preparations and the soundcheck, shot by a crew member at the time is set to be used for a forthcoming documentary showing the 1990 concert in full for the first time.Other than 10 minutes of footage from the outdoor show featuring on Shane Meadows‘ 2013 documentary The Stone Roses: Made Of Stone, very little has been shown of the concert.NME previously reported that a camera crew from Central Music TV were present, but at the last minute the band instructed them to stand down.Now, Martin Cornell, who was a crew member at the time, has told BBC News that he filmed the whole concert from the scaffolding tower in the middle of the crowd.He said: “I didn’t know that they’d pulled their cameras. I didn’t know that they weren’t videoing it.
