I have this buried away somewhere on DVD. I didn’t like it very much when it first came out. But I find that I love the recent Hampton and Leeds releases. What’s the general consensus - are the two new releases better than LSTNT or is my memory faulty here?

Quotewickerman While a visit in Australia and Asia is long overdue, I think logistics and risks of such tour are too tough to handle. - Part of Asia is still closed due to Covid restrictions - Japan hasn't fully reopen yet. - Australia and NZ had very tight set of restrictions - that can be reimposed if another variant or virus emerges. - Distances travelling between Asia and Australia

I went to Munich, Brussels and Stockholm. I thought they were all good, but Stockholm was greatly helped by the fact that they opened in the dark (roof closed). Maybe it’s just psychological, but everything seems crisper and more alive with the darkness and the spotlights/light show.

Quotedeeeskannnie Quoteazera45 The T-shirt for the Brussels concert has a greenhouse on the front. Does this have any meaning to Brussels? This is (are) the Royal Greenhouse(-s) of Laken, a borough of Brussels (FL/D: “De Koninklijke Serres van Laken” – FR: “les Serres royales de Laeken”). It is, most definitely, though maybe one of the lesser-knowns, a Belgian landmark. There’s a distinctive

I was able to make the show in Brussels. Arrived around 13:00 and the taxi had to drop me off a block away because roads were blocked. Saw the huge crowd in front of the hotel and realized the Stones must be staying there. I was sooooo tempted to cancel an afternoon meeting and hang out in the lobby for the Stones. But at the end of the day, I was a good boy and went to work. A friend dr

These kinds of threads do better when the Stones aren’t on tour. As it is, everyone is too busy with the tour, setlists, videos, etc. to get too interested in Beatles threads. Obviously, you put a lot of time into your your very long and well thought out post and so it would be a shame to waste it. I would bump the thread after the tour is over - it will probably get more attention then.

QuoteMichaelLassen Since the biggest study I´ve found concerning the effectiveness of wearing a mask (done by objective research in Denmark) showed little to no evidence of any significant effect, my answer is a big no.

In Japan, Covid has never been a major cause of illness or death (1/3 US population but 1/30 deaths). Population is older and Vaccination rate is not that different (80% two shots 65% three). So it’s either because of masks (99% wear both indoors and outdoors) or because obesity is very low, or both. It might be that masks don’t help that much and it is the obesity that is causing problems

In Japan we usually wear masks but not “N95.” I am thinking og getting some for The next show because if I test positive, I won’t be able to come back to Japan. No disrespect to angreat city, but I dont want to spend a week trying to work from a hotel room in Brussels while I try to get a clean test result!
Forum: Tell Me

In Japan, close to 100% of the population wears masks, even outdoors, although it has never been required. I was in the pit in Munich and didn't wear a mask. If there is a US tour, I will probably wear a mask because if I am sick, I would not want to pass it to so many US fat people, who seem to die at a much higher rate.

First flight in 2-1/2 years was nearly 16 hours from Tokyo to Munich, flying towards Alaska and over the North Pole to avoid Russian Airspace. And why? To see the Rolling Stones, of course. The afternoon of the show brings loud thunderstorms and panic sets in - could it be a wet show like the Bigger Bang show at Churchill Downs? Or even worse, possibly cancelled?

I saw the Stones at Amsterdam Arena in 2006. It was an echo chamber. I didn't realize they just renamed the old stadium, and I already made hotel reservation. Oh well. Just need to get front of stage. All these years, and they haven't fixed the echo?

I recently watched the video for "It's Only Rock and Roll" on the Stones official youtube channel, and noticed that the audio is completely different from the released version.

I think many of us are retired, often because there are no longer people that want to pay us to work. And we may remember fondly the excitement of getting up and going to work for people that wanted us. That’s what the Stones have - and will always have. They are blessed and if they enjoy what they do, I can’t think of a reason they should stop.
