When a company is worth almost $20 billion (usd), you can be sure they've greased the political wheels at all levels to insure they retain their monopoly stranglehold and pricing policies.

Yes Vancouver was great, although they played 2 less songs than Palm Springs and one less than Seattle. Awesome light show and screen graphics / setup, but overall I thought the one in 2019 was better. Jeff sounded good for the most part, though he leaned on the backup singers and telepromper sometimes.

Quoteumakmehrd Bloody rights !! hopefully they get to the Northwest for a gig... Seattle or Vancouver Oasis reportedly disliked grunge and the Seattle scene, so don't get your hopes up. Also lack of population density compared to the East Coast or SoCal.

I think their first album is brilliant but they kind of lost it after that. Their live cover of I Am the Walrus from that era is pretty great too, with the extended outro and all.

I'm hearing it won't be the original band besides Liam & Noel. Pity. Bonehead was kind of their understated secret weapon. If they do stadiums in North America, they will probably be fewer and farther between. UK will likely be a bloodbath for tickets.

That was a great show/tour. Apparently it was finished in 2018 and was going to be released with a short run in theatres to coincide with the 2019 Australia tour. But... nothing happened.

So it's filmed at The Sphere and being shown exclusively at The Sphere. "Let's just take the video we used at the shows and add some additional shots of the band and the crowd and call it a concert movie."

His films are mind-blowers for sure. Even his more recent ones are provocative and heady. I saw Santa Sangre opening night around 1989 and everyone left the theatre speechless, although once the shock wore off, there was plenty to dissect. It's a pity about Dune. It either would have been the most epic psychedelic sci-fi film ever, or a total train wreck, but it did set the stage for fil

Once I got over his 'gravelly whisper singing', it's a jolly fine album for an octogenarian. His bass parts are rather buried, but with some close listening they are indeed discernible. Nothing fancy, but sturdy and rockin'. I wouldn't call the album 'old timey', but it ain't exactly modern, either. A fine tribute to his musical legacy.

We played on a bill around 2012 in Vancouver with a Heart tribute band 'Barracuda' that featured Roger Fisher. They were quite amazing. I guess he's not a full time member but makes appearances on the West Coast sometimes.

The new 4K remaster looks and sounds great. Saw it in Imax last week. You can hardly see the 35mm film grain. Theatre was sold out and the crowd quite enthusiastic. Yes, a musical reunion is very unlikely. They couldn't top those 1983 performances anyways.

I noticed in She's So Cold they included the "...when you're old..." lyric which seems to have been missing from past versions I've seen. Could be wrong, though.

Highly recommended. Very comprehensive, warts and all. Great pics and footage, with occasional voice-overs by Keith that tie it all together.

From what I gather, Jagger and Bill remained friends, although Bill said after his truncated live guest appearance in 2012 that they 'never forgave him for leaving', so there's definitely mixed feelings (emotions?), probably still to this day. Bill stood up for Ronnie to become a full band member before the 1989/90 tour, so I can't imagine anything bad between them.
