The Stone Roses

In January 1996, during the era of the live performance of "Love Spreads," The Stone Roses were in the midst of promoting their second album, *Second Coming*, released in December 1994. This album marked a significant return for the band, coming five years after their acclaimed self-titled debut. While *Second Coming* received mixed reviews, it included "Love Spreads," which became the band's highest-charting single, reaching number two on the UK charts. This period was tumultuous for the band, as they faced lineup changes and internal conflicts, leading to a shift in their sound and style. The live performance captured the band's resurgence and ambition in the mid-'90s, showcasing their evolution while remaining a staple of the British rock scene. "Love Spreads" reflects this transitional phase, emphasizing the band's attempt to reconcile their past with a new musical direction.
