..............what can you say to such as statement?... :-)))

I think that Marc Ford has joined again. Saw them opening for the stones in Gijon, 1995. Their show wasn't a fast show, maybe because they didn't want to "steal" part of the stones show. The crowd didn't like the show. I liked it, but it was a wrong show for a stadium, very slow and with many minuts of guitar solos

would love to see pearl jam support the stones at slane..

GNR???Don't you mean Axl Rose solo?He owns the name so he can even have someone else on lead vocal.

He left again. He's touring solo now. Said it was too tough to stay clean with the Crowes and he didn't want to relapse.

Sad news...Marc Ford is such a great player. I didn't like the crowes without him, for me they had less feeling

according to the Croatian newspapers, a great local band Elektricni Orgazam will be the support act for the Stones in Belgrade

van morrison confirmed for slane!!!

really? where was this mentioned. I'd be happy enough with that

Morrison was the main support act at Slane in 1993 when Neil Young headlined,

Also joined Dylan onstage there in 1984.

Nothing on MCD's site or on any news searches.

i'm a HUGE fan of the Crowes. but they were appalling when they played with the Stones at Wembley. for two reasons

1. the sound was abysmal

2. they picked completely the wrong setlist. if you have 45 mins to impress / keep another bands crowd interested, don't start jamming out slow songs. kick em in the nuts with your classics

mind you. every other time i've seen them they've been dynamite. proper rock n roll

I was there also....I must agree. The Crowes walked through their set. They did not exert much of an effort.

confirmed the other day on hotpress website

Thanks

Their website confirms the Werchter and Nijmegen shows per google. Its a subscription only site, can you copy and paste the whole quote? Appreciate the info.
