Quotestonesrule How many of you posting on this thread ever actually saw Stu playing piano at a live concert? Glad to say I saw him twice - In 1978 and in 1981.
Forum: Tell Me

Isn't it that Stu was only able to be on a few dates of the tour for some reason?

Here is the US, I remember seeing those GHS clips premiering on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. The ads beforehand made one think they were going to actually see the Stones play live on TV, but it was cool to see the videos...long before MTV popularized such!

Glad to hear some good reports! Silver Train, yeah! I'd only for Mick to ditch that thing he's been wearing for SFTD; it just looks odd. I''d like to see him just wear a cape like in '69 or the one he wore in 81-82...At any rate, just glad to see the boys still rockin'!!

Soem things were actually better in 1997/1998 but overall this is the best of the modern times. Somehow there seems to be more reality now, maybe it's age, maybe it's because they seem to interact more with their fans suddenly. Maybe bec

Those people in the pictures are pathetic. Do they not know they are on planet earth where human beings get sick no matter how famous they are? No one has a right to expect any more than ticket money back if an artist has to cancel. The Stones aren't responsible for their travel expenses. I've seen the Stones six times and I knew every time it was a gamble that they would all be healthy

Let's face it; The Stones have been touring since 2012 with a very limited contribution from ex-Stone Taylor. It's silly to expect much more from MT. It is what it is.

Quotecarlorossi Quoteflilflam We should not dismiss the work in 2006 as having little quality, because this is not true. True, they were just erratic. Keith could be really on one night and amazingly off the next, same with Ronnie, but we expect that of him. Keith not so much, so the bad shows really stuck out. Right on. I was lucky to see them on a good night - IMO - in 2006, at Giants S

What IS interesting to me is not rehashing what we all know, but I'd love more info from insiders about what we don't know. For instance, when Keith got off heroin he said he was giving up drugs. As a teenager, I believed that meant everything and stupid me was actually surprised to learn he was still doing coke and smoking weed, plus drinking a lot. Now we all know he was doing cok

Thanks for all the replies to my question. Like I said, I've seen them in '78, '81, '89, '02, '05 and '06 and feel blessed to have caught them on good nights on each tour.

GHS was the first album I ever bought when I was an impressionable 13 year old. My older brother had already turned me into a rabid Stones fan and I bought Goat the day it came out. I loved Mr. D and still do. Someone said it's a dance or groove tune that doesn't hit the mark. Maybe the Stones never intended it to be either of those genres. I don't know how to label it. It is w

First of all, the Stones are my favorite band of all time and I'm really bummed that I couldn't get to any of the 50 and Counting shows. I feel blessed to have seen them six times, plus Keith and the Winos twice. When I read comments by people who say "this was my 54th show, better than Podunk #1, but lamer than Somewhere Else #2," I have to wonder of seeing so many shows, or

Personally, what I'd be THRILLED to see and hear is for them to do another guitar driven version of Sympathy ala Ya Ya's or LYL, and drop the drum loop. Of course we'll never get that again given Mick's insistence ever since '89 to try to stick to the original studio arrangements on all songs. But what a thrill that could be..especially if they include Taylor. Oh well,
