QuoteRisingStone Quotedrbryant I have been going to see Eric every 2-3 years for most of the past 25 years. I went to six of the eight concerts in Tokyo last month and am happy to report that he is playing remarkably well. The best show was the last one - he was on fire. He extended the final solo on "Little Queen of Spades" and it was fantastic - youtube took it down unfortunately

I saw my first show in 1973 in Hawaii. I was 12 years old. If I never see another show, well, what a great time it has been. Best wishes to all from Tokyo.

One comment. I wonder if Zurich might be on June 12 rather than June 13. My only basis for this is that the Dolder Grand Hotel, where they stayed previously, is basically sold out on June 12, but available on June 13.

QuoteIrix QuoteTopi Who gives a damn about Finland? Reindeers ? I can understand this feeling. Many of my friends have never travelled outside of the United States and know nothing about the rich histories and cultures of countries in Europe or Asia. To them, a culturally enriching vacation means going to Orlando to spend a week at the Disney Resort or going to Las Vegas to see Kenny

At the risk of confusing things further: I THINK - the 1986 CBS CD's and vinyl LP's contain versions of "Luxury" (from It's Only Rock and Roll) and "Slave" (from Tattoo You) that are the same length as previous vinyl versions, but shorter than all later CD versions (post Virgin 1994 reissues) and some (but not all) later vinyl LP versions.

I go with 1972 - 73 with Nicky, Keys and Price, which I think is the greatest live rock band ever. But, who could quibble with 69-70? Or with the 73 European tour band? Most of us can still remember the first time we heard Brussels 73.

I always wanted to go to Branson. This crazy Japanese fiddler, Shoji Tabuchi, was the "King of Branson" entertainment for years. I used to watch video clips of his shows, and they were Las Vegas style numbers played to an audience of senior citizens. He even had his own theater and he did a rap number with a guy in the band he dubbed "MC Hammerhead". It all sounded a little tw

QuoteGreen Lady I have had "limited view" seats giving a very close side-on view of the stage from about halfway up, and they were good. You can't see much of the screens, but you are close enough to the band for it not to matter much. I'd beware of LV seats low down, as something like this may happen: Limited view side seats aren't as bad as they used to be becau

There doesn't seem to be enough "buzz" about the new album. I think it's time for Keith to make another one of his carefully timed "controversial statements" to the press. You know, Sgt. Pepper is crap, snorted father's ashes, Mick has a little mick, etc. He's usually so good at getting publicity.

It's funny how, all these years later, songs like "Love Me Do", "Please Please Me" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" sound catchy and pleasant, but . . . very old. But then you have the Stones playing "Not Fade Away", with Brian wailing away on the harmonica and it sounds timeless. I guess that's the benefit of the blues. video:
