Hi I was also there last night. Still can't quite take it in. I actually couldn't believe it was happening; my heart was thumping and the song passed it a blur. I have written a brief report on my blog https://vintagerock.wordpress.com/ Cheers Peter

I saw U2 several times in the early days (1981 and 1982) and they were one of the hottest live acts around at the time. Bono was amazing and full of energy in those days. I remember him climbing up the PA and onto the balcony at Newcastle City Hall, and it was like he was singing directly to you. They had some class songs at the time: Tick Tock, I Will Follow. I still rate them, but I long to s

I saw him three times in the 70s, and once a few years ago. The last time I saw him was at the Maryport Blues festival in 2008, and he wasn't great, but it was still good to see him. I've written some reviews on my blog: chuck-berry 1973 and 1977 chuck berry at maryport chuck berry at Buxton festival Peter

Hi Just a heads up on a new academic text on the Stones which is due out soon. All of the authors are Stones fans as well as academics. The book features chapters by at least two of us who post on IORR, myself (Chapter 9 on the Stones in concert) and Angee (Chapter 7 on Jagger and sexuality). Details can be found on Amazon, and here: The Rolling Stones: Sociological Perspectives, edited by

I think she is really interesting and pretty cool. I went to see her do a performance in the Bluecoat art gallery in Liverpool a few years ago. It was in a small theatre with probably 100 or so people there. She came in wrapped in bandages and asked us to come and unwrap her. My wife and I, along with others came down and took off the bandages (she was clothed underneath ). I still have the ba

Hi This is an error, a mistake, a ****-up. Its not a conspiracy, intentional or fraud. They made a mistake and they are trying to put it right. Stay cool. Its the Stones. In their home town. In the iconic park that they have such a connection with. It's going to be just fine. Wherever any of us stand in the park, it will still be great. I'm by no means a massive Stones fan, but I'

Hi I have been watching this thread with interest. I haven't bought a ticket for Hyde Park yet. I saw the gig at the O2 last year, have tickets for Glasto and I'm holding out in the hope they add a second Hyde Park gig, as I can't make the first. My observations are this. I suspect that AEG / BST festival were intending to use the same stage set as Bon Jovi, and then the Stones cam

The efestivals forum, which is probably the major forum for discussing Glastonbury, is full of posts which are talking as if The Stones are as good as confirmed for headlinging the Pyramid stage on Saturday at Glastonbury. efestivals has them listed as strongly rumoured for Saturday night. They are usually pretty good with their predictions. Peter vintagerock

Thanks everyone. I was at the Sunday gig, and wished I could have gone tonight. Following it on here was just great.
Forum: Tell Me

I could see only a small handful of empty seats. I asked at the information desk in the hope of upgrading my nosebleed seat and was told that it was a sell out. I think there may have been a few tickets that touts had left on their hands, and a few people who couldn't attend on the day, but overall the place was packed, and more full than I've seen it at some other gigs I have attended

Thank you to the Stones for a show that, for me was really emotional. I was moved in a way I haven't be for a long time at several points in the show: The first song just blew me away Paint It Black: unbelievable: the best I have seen them play it Midnight Rambler: I was back in the 70s when I was a kid in Newcastle City Hall The Choir on CAGWYW: just sweet and beautiful I am still

Well said Gazza. I've seen the Stones 11 times now, the first time being in 1971 at Newcastle City Hall and I would rate last night the best I've seen them play since the 70s. I was totally overwhelmed by their performance which reached heights that I would have never thought possible these days. I was hoping for a good show, and feared I would be disappointed, but last night I was tota

For me I was just pleased to be there and see them play so well. I thought the set was fine: a few surprises and great versions of the classics. I thought it all worked well, the guests were great fun, and was definitely much much better than the last few times I've seen the Stones. Wish I could afford to go again on Thursday, but I'm spent up and will have to pay for a divorce if I go

Hi Mick was around in the venue before the show last night with Zoot and the rest of the band. I didn't see anyone asking for an autograph, but I'm sure you could easily have done so. I didn't hang around after the show as I had a 50 mile drive home, so I don't know if he did any signings after. Hope you enjoy the gig tonight, I'm sure you will. Best wishes Peter

I went to see Mick Taylor and his band last night at the Buck Hotel Reeth. The venue is a lovely little pub set in the Yorkshire dales. It holds around 100 people and was packed. Mick's band was red hot tight and he looked well. His playing was pretty good all night, at times he was really fluid, and playing like old times. At other times it just wasn't quite there. Zoot Money was excel

Hi I was at Newcastle City Hall at the early show in 71. Fraid my memory is not good these days, but I don't recall them playing Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Of course they could have played it at the later show (there were two shows that night). Peter vintagerock

Went to see Ian McLagen at the Cluny in Newcastle last night. Great evening. His voice is strong and his keyboard playing as great as ever. Great banter with the crowd. He very clearly said that there will be more Faces dates in 2012. vintagerock.wordpress.com
