Another link. Gene Krupa was the celebrity drummer in Goodman's classic 1930s line up. He was hugely influential (and is also credited with the first recorded drum solo). Check out "Sing,Sing,Sing" - you've probably heard it before. You can be sure that Charlie Watts was very familiar with his work.

QuoteWild Slivovitz I guess that Jagger has been prescribed a 5 days antiviral treatment, so the doctors assessed that in a week he should be ok. That's just a guess, though. That's my best guess as well. A colleague of mine who has underlying health issues got such treatment when she contracted covid same time as me. She recovered much more quickly than I did and without the residual

Loved seeing him do this one live. Don't think there's much chance of that happening again, though. Great song.

Met him at a book signing once and he refused to sign any photos, albums, etc., from his Stones era - anything later was fine.

What nonsense! The Junior gives Keith some of his most iconic sounds and coolest looks. The stuff of legend.

Talking about female guitar slingers, Joanne Shaw Taylor would surely appeal to a lot of Stones fans and introduce her to a bigger audience. She's very good live.

No just a cheap re-issue, making money of the same idiots who will buy this anyway….. Among them probably me!! More of the licks tour to come, don't worry I dream of a DVD from Paris, Bercy 2003...

Quotebv I prefer to stay at hotels. They are regulated by the authorities, you may have breakfast in the morning, and there might even be a restaurant on the premises. AirBnB and other apartment rental services are nice for the end user, but they are killing local city culture.

I was in GA and turned up early (about 1 pm) and had a good view and sound throughout despite being further from the stage than I would normally choose. Spent most of the time sitting on the grass, only standing up when a band was on. There was one big surge towards the stage once the Stones were a few songs into their set, so we had to grab our stuff fast (we had anticipated this). Those who

That setlist is more than "slightly tweaked" from the '76 European tour. Bring it on!

Seen her about ten times over the years. Great guitar slinger with a sultry, soulful voice. Mainly blues-based and very good live. She would have been my last pre-covid show, but it was cancelled at short notice for Joanne and her band to return to the States. Unfortunately she's not coming to Scotland when she returns to the UK for a (very) short tour in April.

Really? My understanding is that being fully vaccinated - i.e., both jabs and a booster - still provides more protection against omicron than no jabs (and vice versa, of course). I would agree with slewan's four points.

QuoteWitness It is not certain beyond doubt, that is, with the large audiences in mind. I agree. Whilst I've always been - and still remain - a massive Chuck Berry fan, I suspect that your average stadium concert attendee would not groove to these 50 plus year old classics. I disagree that they're "too much hard work for them". Chuck Berry is in their DNA!

This is not atypical reporting from the British right wing tabloid press. As an observation, the Stones and their people have always managed to generate maximum publicity and keep their names in the press. Remember a few weeks ago when a load of us were predicting low ticket sales and general doom and gloom? Now the whole world knows that they're on tour in the States and not playing on
