Yes, what did the stones do wrong?
We got pretty much everything we need.
There's been a load of material released which I see as a part of the anniversary; crossfire hurricane, charlie is my darling, all the stonesarchive releases, a couple of new songs, a nice photobook, we can even see the re-releases of exile and some girls as a part of the festivities... great gigs in london and NJ... And even more to come.
People who are still complaining will never be satisfied. Sad.

I think Beach Boys fans would trade places with Stones fans any day of the week. How many tours and studio albums have The Beach Boys had over the last thirty years?

Just watched the 'The Beach Boys 50 - Live In Concert' DVD. How can they get it so right, and the Stones so wrong? The Beach Boys are notoriously dysfunctional, and yet they managed to pull it together for their 50th tour. Every living Beach Boy was up on stage, including Bruce Johnston, and David Marks, who I was shocked to see handle most of the lead guitar parts Carl used to play.
There was a great mix of songs, from their warhorses, to lesser played fun stuff like 'Hawaii'. There were the car songs, naturally, but there were the artistic heights like 'Sloop John B', 'Heroes & Villians', and the incomparable 'Sail on Sailor' with Brian on vocals.
They were supplemented by some crack back-up musicians, mostly from Brian Wilson's traveling band. I don't know how much tickets were, but you definitely wouldn't have walked away from those concerts feeling cheated.

So that's it. You just say it's stupid without bothering to give a reason? And, in your opinion, it is 'Perhaps the stupidest post ever on this forum'. Really? Have you never read some of the idiots on here go back and forth viciously over Mick Taylor and Ron Wood? Is it stupid because of the subject matter? A clear description of another classic rock group and how they handled their 50th anniversary? #rollingmeeyesatperhapsthelaziestinsulteveronthisforumandthroughouttheknownuniverse(Sorry, I think twittering is for twits)

Brian can't really sing very well anymore and he doesn't look like he enjoys being up there. It's good that people can applaud him for his work, but even at his solo shows, his back-up band is the best part, not Brian.

All in all, I think they did a pretty fine job with their 50th anniversary. So, IMO, to suggest that somehow the Beach Boys got it right but the Stones did not, is well... stupid.

Is the Beach Boys 50th DVD a full concert? I thought there was a lot of flack that its only like 10 songs?
Oh, very interesting about the CD. I'll have to check that out. I heard they sounded great on the tour and its a great selection of songs so I'd pick that up in a second. I just thought I'd hear the DVD wasn't a full show, which I thought was a missed opportunity, so I didn't really bother to pick it up.Quote

It's less than half of a concert, 21 songs or something like that. But a 2 CD set from the tour will be released next month.

Some of these threads on this board are getting really pathetic, just can't understand why some people come on here apart from trying to bring the name of the stones down . just can't be even bothered half the time to read the threads anymore as they are just full of waffle. For crying out load, ENJOY WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

You're right. We should have a more mature, intelligent thread, such as who is better, The Stones or Led Zeppelin? Then we can talk about how high we got after high school last night, man.

If that is what you're into, go for it!
