I have seen John a couple of times over the years. He does put on a good show from what I have seen. I can imagine what they have to go through on stage. Watching fights break out, people needing medical attention, items tossed at them, and I think the most bothersome is all the cell phone flashes. To me at least nothing is worse than Axl Rose telling fans to hit the security guards or Ro

He said the same thing at the concert I went to but I am certain he said it was seeing the Stones that inspired them to start a band.

I am glad I am not the only one that feels this way. Some of the later releases are definitely lacking. QuoteSpud Fingers crossed that whoever engineers the release remembers that this is a guitar band. You'd be forgiven for thinking that some of the "modern era" vaults releases were "The Chuck Leavell & Daryll Jones Band"

I think they will open with The Last Time and finish with Sweet Sounds of Heaven. QuoteJuniorjackflash Would be great but it won’t happen because, dollar for doughnuts, Mick will want to play guitar on it as he wrote the riff, and he likes to come out prancing without a guitar - so I personally think he won’t. Shame as I think if he let Keith do it; it would indeed be a terrific and fresh

I have this 8-track tape just for this solo. I have really wonder why they did not somehow give it to us on the Animals remasters. QuoteNashvilleBlues I'm sure many are aware of the Animals 8 Track Pigs on the Wing solo that loops the end of the 8 track (POTW 2) with the beginning (POTW 1). Here it is!

They have obviously rehearsed several of the new songs which they played at Rackett so it will mostly be refreshing those songs. I do not think they will do a club gig this time, but they may surprise us. Also, I think they will change a few songs this tour and give us a few fresh songs.

I feel the same way about the post Wyman releases. Say what you want about Darryl but it doesn't have the same feel. I also think their album sound has lost a bit as well. I too listened to El Mocambo several times and Hackney Diamonds on vinyl is great. Better than the CD sound. I was at Miami 94, Atlantic City 89, St. Louis 97 so those would be the ones I watch.

See the Yahoo article here: A collection of personal photographs revealing life on tour with the Rolling Stones will go on display after the revelation of a family secret led to their discovery.

So, I have both the green vinyl and the cd. I have listened to them both one after the other. I prefer the vinyl. The CD sounds like there is an emptiness some places and others it sounds like the CD is trying to jump out of the player. Like it is angry.

One thing we all have in common here. We can certainly almost all relate to the title of the songs in one way or another. Whether we like the song or not.

I don't think they can get worse than the last Detroit shirt. They played at Ford Field and the shirt had a Dodge car on it. When I was at the merchandise tent, we were wondering what they were thinking. Quoteclapton71 I thnk this tours shirts are gonna be trash.

So looked through this thread and thought of something. Weren't 8 tracks around at this time? Maybe there was a longer version to fill in the space. It was common that tracks were shuffled around, and some songs were longer to fill in the time. Not sure if this is the case here but it may be a thought. I think there are other songs that are longer on 8 track than the album.

I would like to see them play some of what I call "tour songs". Finger Print File, Lies, Let Me Go, Sparks Will Fly, Out of Tears, Terrifying, Flip the Switch. I guess I am just hoping they play some different songs. If You Can't Rock Me would be one I'd like to see again.

This track got approval from the 11 year old bossy niece of mine so I'll say it's a good track. Catchy lyrics to say the least. Good riff to start. I don't think this one will make the set list.

I have heard they argued at every concert. I am not a fan. Quotedimtim Who can forget Guns and Roses at LA Coliseum around 1990 when they argued the whole show and led to the band breaking up at the time I believe.
