Obviously I'm gonna disagree vehemently with the vocalist aspect... However, that is one of my favourite live versions - even including a number of ye olde recordings of significantly lesser technical quality but infinitely better soul. I will, naturally, return a live show which captures both decent sound, video and a reasonably peak-era performance...
The Stone Roses live in Blackpool 12.08.1989
Vocalists are always gonna be highly subjective, but I honestly cannot think of another singer who could capture the sound and feel of a Roses tune who isn't Ian Brown. Personally, many "technically brilliant" singers and instrumentalists leave me cold - others leave me in a state of awe - so it seems to me it all comes down to how such things interact with the individual. Out of interest, who - out of all vocalists of all time - would you suggest replaced either Ian Brown or Shaun Ryder?
Also...
Stone Roses - Waterfall (live @ The Other Side of Midnight)
... if even Tony Wilson was magnanimous to accept his deep, deep prior mishearing will you, Fubzy-Baby, be too?
