I am listening to a Beethoven warhorse Symphony No.7 in A, (1811-1812) exactly 200 years old. Yet it sounds as good as ever. Nobody complained about his setlist because he put out something new all the time.
Yes, but the recording is quite new, as are the instruments used to play it and the musicians who play them. Technically, it's just another cover version.
People who say they listen to Beethoven have never actually heard Beethoven, because you would have to have lived well over 200 years to have heard the man perform.
Didn't he compose Moonlight Sonata to impress/seduce a young female student? We should call him BillWymoven.

But a composer creates music for OTHERS to play. It is never a cover. It is always fresh. But that 3rd movement is just fantastic.

Thanks Max I still have several more I will post later but I appreciate the props. Mick was tough to capture because I was using a point and shoot and with the shutter delay his movement usually took him out of the frame. I wish I would have brought my SLR camera because I was barely checked by security. I thinking about getting a ticket for New Jersey and taking a better camera and lens.In the next couple of weeks I am going to scan some slides I shot with an SLR of shows in Philly from '69, '72 '75 '98. I got caught in '98 and they confiscated my camera and film. The arena claimed it was the band's policy they were following. The good news was I knew people associated with the facility and got my camera back. The only thing they got was unexposed film. As I shot I would pass exposed rolls of film to a buddy in the row behind me so no images were lost.Here is a snapshot of one of my prints. when I scan from original film it will look a lot better
It will take a couple weeks but I will post some shots, it will be fun looking through the old photos. Yes digital has made life easier. I used a 32gb card Saturday night brought an extra battery which I needed. I don't miss the old 24/36 exp rolls of filmQuote

Man... sweeeeeee-eeeeet story and smart too. I love the part about passing the film... so smart. Back in the day, in the early 80-90s I used to sneak my Canon AE1 into shows... put the camera body in one sock and the tele lens in the other. It used to be a blast going "hunting" for great shots at concerts. I only had to be up close fro 1/30 (steady) of scecond to get "the shot"... the other issue was only 36 shots per roll... These days I used a cheap little Canon SD 1000, but I am amazed at what it can do.. 2000 shots per SD card and and the videos too.. now the trick is getting close enough.
Again, Thank you for sharing your awesome shots... those are GREAT!! And thanks to The Stones for allowing people to take pictures..... When you get them done, if you feel like sharing the scans of your shots from 69, '72 '75 '98.... I, for one, would love to see what you grabbed.

That is the greatest pic of all the shows.
Also, thanks to bv, bleedingman and other eye witness reports from these shows. And bv, your blog about the practice session in Paris is great.

After the 15th I think yes, so did you see him on Saturday? He was really looking forward to being in the pit after working hard on it for the O2 shows initially.Quote

"Anyone who thinks playing music in a band is work, has never done REAL WORK."
That statement is moronic on any number of levels. In fact, it's kind of astoundingly idiotic.
That's just funny. Anyone who's never played music in a band doesn't know what real work is. I work in construction in the day, farm on the side, and my weekend gigs with the band are what really kicks my ass.

Well, why dont you explain it to us... We are talking about The Stones here... so please tell us how big time players like the Stones, who have other people taking care of tuning the guitars and hauling the equipment, work so hard, for maybe 4 hours, every 3-4 days (maybe they do....but not for years)... and how they have it so much harder than people who do real work for a living.. like doing rough-in construction work or running a jack hammer EVERY DAY, 8-9 HOURS PER DAY, 50 WEEKS A YEAR.... allearseyes... go ahead.
Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. I ran a jack hammer 5 hours a day every day last week and ran a shovel the other 5 of my 10 hour work days. I then went home and hung drywall on the house I'm building for myself by myself til 10:30 pm. I worked 16 hours this past Thursday hanging steel for a building and didn't wake up nearly as drained in the morning as I do after a show. Granted the Stones don't pack their own equipment, but they gotta try to please 20,000 people at their shows vs. my 100. I ain't ever weighed before and after but I'll guarantee I lose 10 lbs during a gig. And I drink quite a few beers during that time.

Strange, this show somehow seemed to have a somewhat negative vibe. Most reviews are not that excited, especially the usually easily excitable crowd (nothing wrong with that, just more "american") at Shidoobee was not too convinced. Strange to see after those great London shows. It's even reflected in the videos, the sound and video quality is far below what we got from London - why?
