DoomandGloomWell yes, but the Beatles didn't invent the concert or hard touring. The Beatles did not perfect the concert either, they played on poor sound systems while the wild crowd is blamed for their clumsy presentation. If there is a place they fall short, it was the mega concert. A short 3 years after Candlestick Park the Stones' toured in what can be considered the benchmark tour for all bands to follow. Keith is said to have reached out to Harrison after the 1969 tour to encourage The Beatles to take advantage of the advancements and use of stage monitors but George said it was too late for The Fab 4. As far as the GRRB I give it to The Stone, The Beatles are merely the greatest entertainers in world history, they are bigger than rock 'n' roll, bigger than religion, bigger than you know who.. Whatever the label RS are The Beatles only peers and they're playing all this month, remarkable, those who slam their sets are just not old enough to grasp this achievement. Some of their greatest moments ever came last year, CYHMK in LA, JJF @ Glastonburry, Charlie leering at Katie Perry.. More to come.Quote

In this tour alone these guys have proved to be the greatest rockers of all time. First we watched Keith savagely struggle to prove to his mates he was up to the task, Mick suffered a great loss canceling a leg of the tour on the other side of the world and now Bobby goes down. Each time they muscle up to the stage and offer whatever is left in their tanks because they are The Rolling Stones, the embodiment of the rock and roll spirit.
Yes...Doom & Gloom I agree to a degree....I have seen the Stones 50 times dating back to 1975....Are you aware that the Beatles had done around 1000 plus gigs before the Stones played 1 and also plagued by great loss surrounding their lives. Have you ever heard Keith say that the Beatles kicked down the door and we zoomed in right behind them. No matter how you look at it, it is a draw and the Stones themselves would be honored to that judgement.The Beatles slogged and did all the F'NG hard work for absolutely every band that came after them.

Just in case anyone hasn't realised... the game was played in the same stadium that THE ROLLING STONES are playing in next weekend.... Perhaps he was there to case the joint and not watch the game...

Off to the airport in 3 hours...LOL every tour or tour leg ends I say "whew , ok next time more self control" And then...now for the first time multiple shows aren't enough...I'm off to rehearsals! I can't believe at my age I'll be hanging ouy on a street just to hear some muffled music and loving every minute of it. I can't wait to catch up with old friends, meet new ones, and just be a part of the Rock and Roll Circus that is now over 5 decades long. We groupies have come a long way from Cynthia and the Plaster Casters

Should we expect rehearsals this afternoon - Saturday?
In Oslo they rehearsed on a Saturday but not in Paris.
Do I take another drive down to the place and wander up to the building?
Is there a list somewhere or are you referring to the couple of songs mentioned in this thread, like "Memory Motel"?Quote
crawdaddy
Love the songs they have already rehearsed
