A free lunchtime gig in support of XTRMNTR filmed for - I think - Japanese TV. Kevin Shields lurking in the shadows. Mani on bass. An absolutely incendiary show. But the biggest cheer? When Mani noodled the bass intro to I Wanna Be Adored between songs

Worth remembering that when you’re humming the greatest Stone Roses songs - Resurrection, Fools Gold, I Wanna Be Adored - you are humming Mani’s bass melody. Not Squire, not Brown, but the bass line
Terrible news
