Tell Me :
Talk
:-)
BV, I appreciate all your efforts in running this site and I hope you got into the Belly Up tonight, but......do you really believe the 1%-er who paid for this show is lowering ticket prices for the rest of us? My pair of Petco tix cost $433 and we were sitting in the bleachers. We should be thankful to the billionaire that the prices weren't higher?
I don't begrudge the Rolling Stones playing for big money or playing private shows, I truly don't, but suggesting that this private citizen is doing all of us a favor is a big stretch. I don't believe the band's paycheck tonight will give any trickle-down benefit to the rest of us plebeians who fill the stadiums.
plus, this is not the version of LIFE that I read. Stone Alone? Yeah.
Fair enough.
And believe me after the Fonda I am very glad not to be amongst them right now.
But... the bigger question..
The Rolling Stones are playing in a (normally public) club that you are near, how could you not at least stand outside?
If I hadn't already had plans tonight I would have hung around there too. No hope of getting in, but maybe hopes that a door would be open and we could at least hear it. It doesn't sound like that's happening though.
Anyway, if you try to get into a small show like this you probably won't, but if you don't try you definitely won't.
Yes, he could get in.
The setlist was pretty good. Let's hope we can get some information from tomorrow's concert, if that really happen.
How? It was the same old crap with a couple 'rarities' thrown in.
The rarities on the setlist are what made me think the setlist was good. Let's not forget this wasn't a common "secret warm-up" for the fans, since they've played on a birthday party or something like that. Also, you don't see/listen to Crazy Mama or I Got the Blues on their concerts too often.
Screw the reports I want video man! I already know what the reports are going to be like. I mean if you're at that show, who cares if Keith missed the opening chords to BS or Mick rushed the singing in a song or two. The opportunity to see them so up close and personal is going to trump all logical and realistic reviews and reporting.
I guess Lisa didn't get to do her Diva on steroids thing with GS missing from the set, I was wondering how that was gonna go down in that small room.
At least that entitled lot didn't get Moonlight Mile, Ha!
peace
Haha...the Stones are back at the hotel
That's quite a flight of fancy, my friend
With onlystones toasting them all!
It's always funny seeing their best songs named as crap on a Stones fan board
indeed i remember one poster just the other day saying that i can't be seen with you was over played...
i don't know. the set list certainly implies they were contracted for an amount of time and weren't planning on staying longer than they had to though :-)
Talk about your favorite band.

The money this private person is paying is going directly into the tour budget, i.e. theoretically he is saving us a few dollar on ticket prices, like a sponsor.
If you don't like the fact that the Rolling Stones play for money, go figure out, they have done it since 1962. Just read Keith's notes in his book LIFE, day by day. He noted every single pound, shilling and pence they did every show from the very first one. Getting paid as a performing artist is acknowledge of fame and success. Still.

People turning up uninvited standing around outside a "Private party".. I don't know,but seems stalkerist to me.

Of course they play for money since 1962, everybody play for money. I would have prefered to see them playin' in Seattle (in front of 70.000 fans)or other rumoured place instead of private party in Solana beach.

In the last 20 years they've tried to rewrite their bisexual history , so much so I'm offended even though I am straight, still to quote Claude in Hair, " I wouldn't kick MJ out of bed".Quote

Did the Stones sing Happy Birthday yet? Did Mick and Keith harmonize on the end bit?
So that's why Mick gave it to Ronnie on SNL...$$$$$$$$

I guess Keith doesn't get his cameo spot in the club gigs.
This tour will be a grind as they work their way through Eastern North America as the heat is building through June and July. While I would also have liked to see some other Western dates, the decision to have a few more leisurely paced days in Southern California will pay benefits in keeping them more fit for the long haul.

Since this is a club, I wonder it everybody's going to stick around till closing time and drink and socialize. The Stones included. Perhaps a slightly drunken jam towards the end with Mr. Whitworth on keys and the new wife singing along?

i don't know. the set list certainly implies they were contracted for an amount of time and weren't planning on staying longer than they had to though :-)
