ATLANTIC CITY -- With The Rolling Stones’ 50th anniversary tour seemingly delayed until 2013, the closest thing area fans are likely to see to a live Stones show for the first time in six years was a quarter of the band in a solo show --rhythm guitarist Ron Wood and friends Saturday in the Grand ballroom at Atlantic City’s new Golden Nugget casino resort.
But Wood, playing his first-ever appearance as a front man in the United States, gave a show that was far better than just a fourth of a Stones concert.

There's something very strange about that sentence.

Then you should have been more specific.

You can offer your opinion on what you think about Bernard Fowler's singing abilities. But to say that you can find some cook in a bar on a tuesday night in louisville who can sing better is just assinine and stupid. Bernard is a pro who deserves a lot better respect than that.Even if you don't like his singing.Quote

I've heard better singers at the local pub. On a Tuesday. In the kitchen.

If you're referring to Bernard, I would have to agree.
He's best relegated to being a back-up vocalist.
I am referring to Bernard, not Ronnie. Either way, not sure why I can't voice my opinion here without getting jumped on (not referring to you, Hairball).

I, too, must also fall in the asinine & stupid category as I've heard better in local pubs (not sure why that makes us stupid but I guess I'm too dumb to figure that out).

Man you are right Justin Dance is smoking hot! Amazing! Ronnie is really pulling out the raunch! And again, Bernard sound wonderful on this. Far better than most bar singers I have seen.

...
The show not only pleased Wood, but the audience, most of whom seemed to
be of Woods’ generation. One guy of advanced age near the back of the
hall stood on his chair most of the night, wildly gesturing.
It seemed the show was to everyone’s “Satisfaction.”

I never would have known about the AC show if I did not read IORR. So, without the promotional push the Stones put behind their tours I doubt there is much of a die hard fan base that is interested in lube show anymore. kids, works, life, etc., take there toll on fans over time but the right promotional package would fill bigger venues for Ronnie and Friends.
I would buy a ticket for Ronnie and Friends right now if I could but without knowing tour dates a t least a month in advance it would be hard to go because of life issues.
The Stones arrive like a Roman army. You know they're coming long before the tickets go on sale. You can plan for it. If I were in my twenties I would have made it to the AC show. Here's to hoping he launches a tour.....
I doubt adding Mick Taylor would increase the box office much. He is probably less known than Ronnie Wood by casual and one hit liking fans. If Ronnie was ok with small theaters and clubs he would sell out in selected markets.Quote

thanks for posting this review.
musically, ronnie's ready to tour, obviously. but its hard to accept that
the fanbase has gotten so small that there were tickets for this small-
priced small-venue show available til the last minute.
it looks like it will be ronnie not keith that inherits the stones
musical legacy when Jagger finally goes off with his new group. but it will
take the addition of mick taylor, at the very least, to make this kind of
fractional Stones show viable at the box office.
