Do yourselves a favour and order 10 Days Out CD/DVD..The DVD is stunning with wonderful performances from some of the greatest Blues players alive, and some who sadly passed away since the DVD was released..If it doesn;t move you you must be dead up from the neck..

I'm sure many who follow the up's and downs of the band aren't really worried about the sales figures as long as they keep going in some sort of fashion, I for one would trade the lack of a massive world tour for the chance to see and hear what they could pull out of their creative bag without the pressure of performing to a partially full stadium or field. You only have to look

Why the obsession with ticket sales?..Is it that the failure to sell out these stadiums is an indication that the bands popularity is on the wane and as fans, points to perhaps the closing of part of their glorious career?

One of the hardest working bands i've ever seen...and to be honest they blew the Stones off the Knebworth stage in 76...and I only went to see the Stones!! Can't knock their spirit in the present form, but if ever a band was dogged by bad luck they win the prize "what song is it you want to hear?"..."FREEBIRD"

Please try and let the above reprinted article be a closing statement on this thead.

It was one hell of a hot day..and IMHO the last show of the classic Stones era, before they, for me, turned into stadium act with all the bells and whistles.. They were shambolic, at times sounding as if they were falling down a flight of stairs whilst still trying to play, but give me that over the slick productions they deliver now.. I managed to keep my camera with me all day and Ron threw

Bloody funny though!...Lighten up, remember for the vast majority of people out there that would be hard pressed to name 2 Stones songs, for them, they are just "celebs"..Unlike us, who inhabit this and other fan sites, who can tell someone what was played on any given day, in any month of any year, in what key etc etc..

I have already bought this set..It is a fantastic souvenier of one of the seminal festivals of the 70's, and for those of us lucky to have been there, and lost all the bits and bobs over 30 years a great way to remind ourselves of a great day out. The package is great, and for the price damn cheap.. Henrietta was very helpful during the ordering of the set..and I have no complaints.. I�
