Don't know if it's the best store for Stones bootlegs, but Blind Faith stocks the most comprehensive selection of any I've visited in Tokyo. I had to resist the child-in-a-sweetshop urge on my first visit, and remember that a lot of the boots I'm interested in were recorded decades ago, and will most likely sound awful. For any first time visitors, worth pointing out that the

Quotebv And for those who struggle with getting tickets to the shows in Australia, I have two advices: 1. If you’re downright disgusted, And life ain’t worth a dime, Get a girl with far away eyes 2. As a matter of facts, all the scalpers will be stuck with the expensive tickets on show day, and they will beg you on their knees to buy their extra scalped tickets at face value and below.

Overall I agree, comparing 2012/2013 with 1981...but I'm afraid Keith has certainly diminished since his fall out of the tree, and I think despite his downplaying of the incident at the time, it was a big deal. The guy needed brain surgery FFS. I'm sure that it's affected his playing ever since, which must be incredibly frustrating for someone whose life revolves around making musi

One small suggestion for Marquee's solution: rename Tier 3 to GA (retaining the tier 3 FOS). This then satisfies the Tier 1 – access to the area directly in front of the stage Tier 2 – access to an area closer to the stage than general admission Tier 3 – access to the main spectator area rules. I can't really see AEG changing anything at this point, I'm afraid, although it
