Oh Ya......Creedencelives....if your handle indicates a love of CCR could you email me, I have some questions about getting hard to get CCR.

Creedencelives.....thanks for the flashback. One point to add....I always got the feeling they used a delayed start as part of the hype. One of the more poinient moments of L&G is the begining, in the dark you hear someone saying lets get this thing going.....probably due to the long delay between acts. I recall in Vancouver it taking close to a hour to get the show going, many trips to t

Things are only funny if you understand them. Obviously never fought your way to the front of 65,000 folks or you would understand my 'jest' (that means joke) about the grope, sometimes you touch stuff in an ocean of folks you can't even identify...is that clearer, less perverted.

I got talking to a guy the other day that had the best concert croud funny story I had heard. It caught all the elements of a the good old stadium festival seating fiasco and it happened at a Stones show. Seattle, 1981, first show (girl falls off walkway and dies night). They open the doors early so folks can trickle in. So our story teller gets there early with his party friends and they stak

During Licks at the Tacomadome, just prior to the show I was walking through a unlit parking lot and spotted two of Tacoma's best, their police cruisers parked in the shadows, trunks (boots) open and they were in the process of tighening up their flack jackets and loading their Glauks. I position myself to pass right behind them, they take no notice of my approach. I get right between the

RockR......one word you used makes any band alright...."tradition"......kind of infers the Stones made their own mark and will not be topped.

Lets look at the history and some Stones quotes (paraphrased). a) History of R&R shows was numerous bands, more than two, everyone played just a few songs, the Beatles never played more than 35 minutes (once popular) but were fronted by many bands on any given day, the Stones likewise.....so history says more than one band. b) more bands started to have a history, more songs to play.
