Quotetatters Still undecided about whether or not I want to see this tour. Can't really take the sight of Brian propped up at the piano with his arms hanging limp at his sides, not even pretending to play. Ah, do go! You'll enjoy the show very much. Brian does play a bit, and he sings quite a few songs - his voice is strong. The show is almost 3 hours long and surprisingly high energy

Quotewith sssoul QuoteClaire_M P.S. What kind of guitar is Keith playing in the photos above - is that a Les Paul Jr. in tv yellow?! Nice! He's using that one a lot lately, which is more than fine with me! The Ratbag Boogie index has a thread about Keith's juniors where you can read all about it. Thank you kindly, with sssoul. That was a lovely thread you pulled together with all

QuoteSomeTorontoGirl Lisa is such a class act. The more I see - and hear - of her, the more I like and admire her. She's an intriguing lady, very much an artist on her unique path. It was good to see that she is regarded so highly within the music industry. Also rather fascinating is ex-Ikette Claudia Lennear, supposedly the inspiration for "Brown Sugar" and - gasp - Leon Russ

I've been away from the board for awhile so please excuse if this has been discussed before: what's with Keith wearing a powder-blue satin track jacket? Haven't seen one of those since 1977. I'm not mocking him - goodness knows the man is beyond cool - but it seems a surprising sartorial choice for him. Here's hoping that stretchy headbands won't make a comeback

Lady Antebellum. I prithee do not mock me. I find their songs very melodic, a quality that is sadly missing in most contemporary songwriting.

Lisa is so very talented. I still listen to her hit single, "How Can I Ease the Pain." That last soaring note is epic! I wonder why she didn't seem to give her solo career much time to flourish? Soon after she had that hit song (and album) in 1991, she began singing with Luther Vandross, whom I absolutely adore. Why did she only do one solo album? Maybe she didn't have record

The Dennis Wilson one looks like Huey Lewis mated with Glenn Frey. Very disturbing. Joplin, Cass Elliot and Karen Carpenter are quite reasonable and well done.

Quotejamesfdouglas Saw Eric Burdon this summer at a local festival, put the mainstage kiddes (Fun.) to SHAME. That's the key. If someone can't deliver the goods anymore (no matter what age), then perhaps it's time to move along. But every time I've seen the Stones, they blew the opening act - usually someone decades younger - off the stage.
