damn, I loved this guy. No one like him, never a compromise, and some of his music was great. Spent much of his life in the face of adversity and never backed down. For artistic integrity, you`d have to search far and wide for someone like him in today`s music or art. RIP

...the sound back in the hall was awful - muddy, full of echo, and with a constant drone, during the quieter passages, of that bloody air condition or whatever it was.

...strange. I felt the Spielberg version of "Start me up" was the best I ever heard. What`s wrong with those "Brown Sugar" details? It`s a ragged old rock`n`roll band, and they are playing much better than 1982. There you go.

with his thick arthritis-ridden fingers, it must be difficult to muster some precise and explosive intros to BS or SMU like he used to decades back, but once he gets into the song, what I hear is still a mighty old powerhouse, underneath all of what they´re playing. To hold down that sound on the stage at such a long show, it`s still a thing to admire, I think, and it`s all Keith`s rock`n`roll at

AC/DC at the end of the seventies sounded like a kindergarten choir someone here said- come on, I`ve experienced them there and then, with Bon Scott still. - I love what the Stones do today, but those Aussies were mean back in the day, powerful.

...couple of weeks ago I saw him in Munich at the Tollwood Festival (nice little fair). He was great. Phantastic band too, he jazzed up his a bit glossy 80`s hits in a great way, and during the last numbers even played some mean rock n roll guitar. He seemed to be far from gone, was in fine voice, obviously takes care of his health and could do a lot more, if he`d find a reason to go out. Very sy

I was five years old, first music I ever heard was "have you seen your mother baby, standing in the shadows". When I grabbed a magazine with a photo of the early Stones - hadn`t known their looks til then - my Mom took it away from me, saying, you`re not interested in that bunch of horrible people.

...in Havanna in the days before the show, there was talk of about 250.000 to max 400.000. I could be wrong but, having been there, I don`t think it was much more than 500.000, if that. I don`t believe that field could have hold 1.2 mio, that`s ridiculous. A great show, but not THAT huge.

-just seen it, one big difference between movie and concert: the show sounded much better in reality, even though I was at the back of the field. The sound on site was phantastic, like an organic thing. In the movie, I hear the awful tinkling of Chuck, and the shortcomings of the guitarists, due to age and too much posing. Still, I enjoyd the film. Rambler and Gimme Shelter were as great as can

for the Rolling Stones in the here-and-now, Havanna was an exceptionally good show. Obviously concentrated on avoiding mistakes, they were tight, but still loose and rocking.

Keith DID actually fall asleep during Fool to cry in Cologne in 1976, landing on his foot pedal, which gave an extensive feedback screech. He then stood up and played on as if nothing had happened. The way he looked, he could`ve been up for a coupla days, and the tune probably didn`t do a lot to keep him awake either...

the most interesting theory to me is, that someone played the guitar part that we know as an overdub to earlier parts that had been wiped out. The riff is simple and complicated at the same time, the player was probably hearing something else whilst inventing it that we don`t hear on the released track. That`s the feeling I get when I play it myself. I`m wondering why no one in this discussion c

point taken mr. Lem -I`ve seen the Who in 1975, those where the greatest shows I`ve ever seen, but still - where`s the option? I enjoyed the Stones in Havanna, but would never claim them to be the band I saw in 1973, which was out of this world.

the havanna show was actually very good, would rate it among the best ones I`ve witnessed since the 90`s. Not to be compared with 1973 or 75, when they first hit me, but still great.

Right. There is so much to do and see in Havanna alone. the beaches to the east, playa del este, seem worth visiting if you want to get out of town and not drive too far.
