Bring back Grace Potter

Grace Potter is pleasing to look at but Gimme Shelter was a bad choice for her voice. She would have done much better with something like Wild Horses, Dead Flowers or Shine A Light.

Sorry if this was discussed before. She confirmed me on Tweeter a couple of hours ago that due to scheduling conflicts, she will not come down to South America with the Stones. Sad news guys.

old news.......but great news.....wish that would have happened on the zip code tour

Nope, she's to big for them...

Just speculation, as all of this is, but 57 seems an odd time to try launching a solo music career, could be another reason...

From her webpage bio..


Ms. Lisa Fischer is stepping into the spotlight at last. After four decades of singing background for icons like the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, and Nine Inch Nails, Lisa is finally offering her own humble, heartfelt song, accompanied by her inventive new band Grand Baton. The past 18 months have been a whirlwind, with performances at the Newport and Monterey Jazz Festivals, at the Hollywood Bowl, and in major cities all over the world.

The unexpected success of the Oscar-winning documentary Twenty Feet from Stardom (2013) altered the course of Lisa’s musical journey. The film told her story, complete with clips of her 1991 Grammy-winning R&B hit “How Can I Ease The Pain,” live footage of her legendary duets with Mick Jagger on “Gimme Shelter,” and glowing testimonials from famous colleagues like Sting, Patti Austin, and Chris Botti. It showcased her virtuosity and vulnerability, opened a window on her sometimes lonely life on the road, earned her a second Grammy award, and left audiences eager to see and hear more.

Lisa set out on her first tour with no recordings or video to help book and promote shows, headlining first in small clubs, moving quickly to festivals and concert halls. Journalists, music business insiders, and supporters jumped in to spread the word. “Her glamorous-girl-next-door quality makes fans all over the world think she’s their own secret discovery.” (Broadway World) “A sublime experience,” “phenomenal times infinity,” “mind blowing,” “an intangible souvenir that will remain in our hearts and minds forever.” (Facebook followers) “Transcendental!”(The Huffington Post) “She brought down the house in the single best show I’ve seen in the many years I’ve visited Birdland.” (The New York Times) “You know you’re in the presence of greatness when the hair on the back of your neck stands up. On her own stage, [Fischer] exuded supreme confidence. The display of vocal magic was mesmerizing . . . quiet and subtle until the mighty shout was unleashed . . . .” (The Edmonton Sun) “[A] wondrous instrument that can seamlessly blend classical, jazz, soul, gospel, rock and folk.” (Minneapolis Star Tribune).

Lisa has found ideal co-conspirators in Grand Baton. The band’s organic fusion of African, Middle Eastern, and Caribbean rhythms, psychedelic soul, and progressive rock awakens and ignites Lisa’s flexibility and freedom of expression. “Collectively they bring amazing musicianship, hearts and souls and most importantly a sense of playfulness,” she says. “It’s a dream to be sonically surrounded with this kind of sensitivity and care.” The band has helped her realize her lifelong desire to make music that heals but still rocks the house. In performance, she draws from an eclectic palette of influences, whether putting her stamp on Led Zeppelin and Little Willie John or recasting rock anthems from her tours with the Stones and Tina Turner.

With all due respect, clearly Lisa should refrain from putting her stamp on Led Zeppelin songs, imo. Apologies for the poor audio quality in the clip.

I think soft jazz is more Lisa's forte but of course these things are subjective.
