Somewhere above, in this mass of insults and nuttiness, JumpinJeppeFlash speaks of IORR posters who "are simply not talented enough" to understand a
"bad performance".
Boy, are we all lucky to have a "master know-it-all" like JJF to point this out. Perhaps he'll condescend to post his musical resume.

Wasn't it the same with BB King recently - people left the consert.
They should have the notion when to play and when to stop.
In regards to Stones, I guess Mick known when to stop - thank godness.
No, BB can still play, CB can not, the difference is big.

Considering the fact that Chuck's son is a regular poster here I think this thread should be closed before it turns too ugly.

I just Dl'ed a Frank Sinatra 1986 radio show in Milano. Is the show among Frankie's best? No. Was Frankie that night as good as he was in the 50's? No.
Did the audience leave the place with stars in their eyes? They certainly did, because they saw the Man, the Legend for real?.
CB II your Dad is up there with Sinatra and other legends. Nuff said! Let him do what he wants.

Bless you Stoneage but lumps like these come with the territory. I'm sure Keith's children developed quite the thick skin as I have after the falling out of the tree incident.
People would be very surprised just how many of the "Children" read this and other forums like it. This one gets a tremendous amount of attention due to it's size and BV's dedication to the band.
Some my feel the knife's razor edge critique but hey, not much anyone can do about it. I look at it as one's right to voice their opinion.

I've been trying to get tickets to see BB King for a while, having missed him when he came comparatively close because I didn't know about it. I've never seen him, and I know what his current show is like so I'm not expecting miracles, but I want to say I saw that particular legend. So I'd say go for it, latebloomer.

In addition.. I looked at these clips. It would seem to me that Chuck still has his technique. It looks like his problem is hearing the music properly and that can be fixed. A Separation Shield in front of the Drum kit and noise reducing foam pillars about the stage work wonders. Some of us wear an aid as well...

It is absolutely ridiculous that some people demand that someone should not work. I don't understand why people here get so angry about the fact that somebody sells something that others clearly want to buy. CB is long past his prime, that is clear, but the logic of the argument that he must quit and stay at home because some people here don't find his performance worth it is twisted.
Based on the same logic I demand that all people without whose work the society could live and whose work is really not worth the money they are getting for it stay voluntarily at home and stop recieving their sallary. My estimate is that about 80% of people in US and Europe would be unemployed then. I wonder how many of those people here that demand CB's retirement should quit their jobs based on this logic they so passionately express here.
Plus what CB does is based on market, he takes care of himself. He doesn't get state salary for doing absolutely redundant or often even counterproductive job as millions of state employees do. I find that much more disturbing than the fact that some musician sells tickets to his shows that don't live up to the standard he set 60 years ago.

Not everyone knows what CB has done in the past and will remember him as a clown who can't play.

He can work with whatever he wants, but he should not be on a stage anymore because he can't play and he is making a fool of himself, people are laughing at the old man and that is not funny. Not everyone knows what CB has done in the past and will remember him as a clown who can't play.

Point to anyone who is laughing at him. Your grasping as straws to fill out your pathetic and incredibly disrespectful argument.

Incredibly disrespectful?
It's people like you who can't handle the truth.
