Now that the boys are on a break, let’s compare this one to the Forty Licks tour. Now, at first I thought they’d never top the Forty Licks tour. Why not? The 3 show idea was simply brilliant. It gave them the opportunity to vary the set lists. On the other hand, the A Bigger Bang tour is more spectacular. It’s got a huge showy stage. The music also sounds real good.

So the positive things are:

• It’s more of a show.
• The music sounds great.
• They have some new things to play.

Some negative stuff is:

• The set list hardly changes.
• No theatre shows.

I think the Stones are doing great. It’s hard to top the Licks tour, but they’re doing a very good job.

The biggest change is the show-part. They’re in incredible shape, they’re all wearing cool clothes, there’s a huge stage. It’s a really cool. From behind your computer it might all not sound very impressive, but my guess is(I live in Europe, I haven’t been to a show yet) that it’s really spectacular and a good time.

I hope to see some new stuff after this break, and I’m sure they’ll do something new. When they’re in Europe, I’m going to see as much shows as I can.

The shows are great and the time goes by really quick. You don't worry about the set list when you are there.

Sway for Columbus !

Yeah that's what I'm saying. Seeing it on your computer it may look boring, but when you're at a show it's gotta be pretty cool.

Forty Licks:

1) More even sound... consistently in the groove

2) Greater Variety... played all kinds of stuff at all kinds of venues

3) An integrated "12 piece band"

STYLISTIC, INCREDIBLE MUSICIANSHIP, COMPLEX


A Bigger Bang:

1) Somewhat more uneven sounds... some songs the best u ever heard, some "average"

2) Less variety SO FAR

3) More focus on the basic 5 guys with the rest as gingerbread

POWERFUL, RAW, BASIC
