The Stone Roses - Live Performance of 'I Wanna Be Adored' in Blackpool
Location: Blackpool, England, United Kingdom
Date: 1995
On January 1, 1995, The Stone Roses performed "I Wanna Be Adored" live in Blackpool, a pivotal moment marking the end of their initial run before a lengthy hiatus. At this point in their career, the band had released their highly acclaimed self-titled debut album in 1989 and the less commercially successful but influential "Second Coming" in 1994. The live recording came shortly after the release of "Second Coming," during a period when the band faced internal tensions and public scrutiny. The performance captures a moment of resurgence, as they sought to reclaim their status amid changing musical landscapes. Interestingly, "I Wanna Be Adored" remains one of their signature songs, reflecting their evolving sound and the deep connection with both the fans and the Manchester music scene. This concert, while later regarded as a nostalgic milestone, also foreshadowed the band's eventual disbandment in the following years.
