It would be fun to hear your reactions if the Stones would play their great songs with different chords and tempo. Maybe they will, unintentional, the next tour

They already did..... Keith went avantgarde with some chords last tour...especially Beast Of Burden at the O2...

The thread is about bands with zero stage presence. Not poster's with zero intelligence....For my two cents,I have to say Dylan.I admit I have never seen him live and I have all the respect in the world for the music he has produced over the years and his contributions to popular music in general. But live,I just don't see how he is exciting or interesting.Espicially these days. I have heard a couple of boots from the current tour. Man,how do you get past that awful,groaning voice. Plus he doesn't even play guitar anymore. Just my humble...

You know what Charmed i thought the same way i hated Dylan,on record except the very few. When i saw him with Tom Petty and the heartbreakers in 85 i believe,at the LA Forum, he blew me away and blew Petty off the stage including his lead guitar player i can't think of his name right now but you know who. One other thing i went to a few gig's with Dylan and the Dead i think 86 , i know Gazza would know those dates but, Dylan made those show's all the better!

tom petty-just saw him and he seemed bored

Even though Dylan doesn't look at the audience while performing, he's absolutely got stage presence. I've seen him about 30 times, and find his performances to be riveting, though not for everyone.

By his constant reworking of song arrangements and vocal melodies, he's not just singing his songs. Anyone can phone in that sort of performance. His approach takes more concentration because he treats everything as a work in progress which he constantly changes on the fly.

true, but Dylan is also adapting to the fact he is getting older. A lot of these reinventions are forced upon him

Dylan has long said in interviews that he feels it's pointless to say "Hello, Cleveland." Etc.

The connection that he builds with his audience is based precisely on the fact that he does rearrange the songs so intriguingly. And I agree with the earlier post that sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. As an audience member, you have to be engaged with the show to appreciate it. If you go to the show to talk on the cell phone or to your neighbor the whole time, you won't know what they hell happened!

Check out Tell Tale Signs: Bootleg Series Volume 8 to hear some fantastic late-era songs in different forms.

I saw the Seattle arvo show in Feb. '75 of Bob Dylan/The Band. Whilst he didn't really acknowledge the audience, everybody played w/intensity and focus.

Went to see Steve Winwood yesterday.
He has no real charisma. He never was a showman.

But an excellent gig (as always) . No doubt about it. An excellent musician.

Ah jus' like good old sweetcharmedlife to not miss a chance to get personal at somebody over an opinion they don't agree with. BTW Springsteen sucks!

Anyway back to the topic: The Fixx, saw them back in the day and almost fell asleep.

Mike Campbell is Petty's lead guitar player i was looking for. I am not kidding Dylan was playing a Strat that night and took the show over unbelievable,electric guitar playing.

Oasis plan to rope in a 50-piece choir to cover a song by The Rolling Stones at BBC Electric Proms this weekend.

The Manchester rockers headline the Camden Roundhouse on Sunday (October 26) for the third year of the London-wide celebrations.

Traditionally rock bands have hooked up with classical musicians for the shows. And Noel Gallagher has revealed that the band are planning to cover the Stones' classic 'We Love You' with the Crouch End Festival Chorus.

The guitarist told BBC 6Music that the plans sprang from aborted sessions for new album 'Dig Out Your Soul'.

"Out of all the songs on the album, there's two that didn't make it that have got a 50 piece choir," he said. "The original idea for this album was to record it with this choir in Abbey Road and for whatever reason it didn't happen.

"When we got offered the Proms, we called them up and said, 'I know we let you down last time but do you fancy getting up and doing a few tunes?' I think they're going to sing on a third of the set and we're hoping to do 'We Love You'."

Gallagher did not reveal whether the abandoned album tracks will get an airing at the show.
