The Baltimore band performed in Halifax last night (August 26), and walked out to the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton hit ‘Islands In The Stream’ in honour of Parton’s passing earlier this week.
Later, in the set, they launched into ‘I Wanna Be Adored’, marking the first time they performed the cover live, after recording their spin on it for Triple J’s ‘Like A Version’ series back in March.
Guitarist Meg Mills also added that ‘I Wanna Be Adored’ boasts “one of the most iconic basslines of all time”, referring to the late Mani’s part. “I think it’s so powerful in its simplicity,” she added.
Mills went on to hail them as “such an iconic band, and, in my opinion, probably the coolest of all the kind of Manchester bands coming out at that time”. She said the Roses were “in a league of their own”.
Their version puts a dreamy spin on the tune. Check it out below.
