JJF in full on BBC2 NOW!
- so hopefully it should show up on Youtube before long as Glastonbury Girl did.
For anyone who missed JJF, follow the link and click "Restart the current programme". It's just before the interview with Mumford and Sons.
[www.bbc.co.uk]
It's at 23:52.
You must be getting so stoked for Hyde Park
Wow - they really went all out and right away won over the crowd.

Its so funny to read hard-die fans reviews when you are not longer one of them...you would think people change or at least, accept change.
Accept that just because the Stones change 3 to 4 miserable songs (you cannot say 2000 light years is a great song AT ALL, nor is factory girl: they might not be crappy songs but that doesnt make them remarkable good songs either) of a predictable-boring set list doesn't make it less boring.
Accepting that the only surprise left (and i am still surprised about that myself) about watching this guys play is that they still get on stage and play a song (the same songs they've been playing live over and over the last...40 years? -HTW,JJF,STF,SFD,YCAGWW,MR,BS, yes they have been played that long) you can actually recognize but hey, that doesnt mean they play it majestically or anything. Be a bit more objective.
Its funny to see how positive people are: "the best show i've seen" show after show. Delusion? i think so, otherwise you would feel a bit ripped off voluntarily after paying more than 100 euros when a cover band would be much more worth.
But if somebody says: "the music is the last thing i care about when i go to see the stones nowadays, i just want to see their faces regardless of what they do" that sounds less delusional to me than "it was a great concert, oh, now its glastonbury girl, oh, oh, and they also played 3 different songs than last time".
I dont go to listen to the stones although i once really liked them (and saw them quite a few times too, thanks god not too many). I prefer to keep the good memories. Id like being delusional but the more i appreciate music, the less appealing it gets to waste my money/energy just for the sake of watching old people playing poorly same old songs over and over again.
So i just wanted to see what i might have "missed" at Gbry and from what i heard and saw, i can tell i am glad i didnt go there to see the stones, it seemed pretty lame. Just an opinion. They will still be making money and you thinking they are great and its really ok!

Puts any US show to shame.
Boring crowd equals boring show. Tonight was the best show they've done on this tour.

The Stones are best in a stadium. It was enjoyable seeing them in the US in what I'd call small venues but their place like the current McCartney band is playing for 100,000's of people. This Glastonbury performance lit up their faces, finally a crowd as big as their egos, I mean that in a good way.... This magical night should slow the talk of how Keith and Mick are just business partners, Keith has come through and has risen to the occasion no doubt Mick inspired and pushed him to get there. That my lovelies is one of the many miracles Stones fans have been treated to this year.

Was the broadcast great? Did they pass the test from the BBC point of view? Can we be proud of our band?

Bummer. BBC have taken their videos off YouTube. Guess they would.
