Just found out about this and bought myself some tickets - http://www.thestonerosesdubai.com/
I am literally stupidly excited about it, thought my chance to see them had long since passed.

Re: Stone Roses in Dubai, 21 Feb 2013
I went home to see them this year and i had my doubts but they were very good .
Ian Brown's voice is not the best but the band were still really tight and the crowd were good as well , proper old school . I was lucky to see them at Spike Island all them years ago , well what i remember of it !
The only thing that will not match will be the crowd . U.A.E crowds are pretty shite to be honest , a lot of them will not even know who the Roses are , they're just event cattle , it's a shame they can't just stick to making an arse of themselves at brunch !
I saw Ian Brown in Dubai a few years ago and he was pretty good but the crowd were clueless . He actually nearly chinned some pissed up fella at the front of the stage.
I'll probably still go

We might need a separate thread to list all the bands whose first album was magnificent, and was never equalled by their later stuff......... they are definitely one of them..........

I was at the Glasgow Green gig in 1990, which according to the band themselves was the best gig they ever played (see below). It was in a big tent and was the best gig I ever attended. They are having another gig at Glasgow Green next year I think.

Hopefully Dubai hasn't sold out and I can get to gig.

Ignore Mentalist & his usual negativity. You should be used to him wamting everything to go wrong for everyone else by now.The event organiser is a good guy and the only reason it wouldn't is because of something to do with the band, much the same as with any other event anywhere.
