I understand people feeling like it's a slap in the face but the OP is correct. My favorite band has told me that I must fork over an exorbitant amount of money to see them in "the usual barn", as Mick described arenas at the Passaic '78 show. If this was a club or theater, I might be tempted. But to expect me to spend enough money to buy a vacation, TV, guitar to see them n

The vocal intro really reminds me of "Travelin' Band". The riff reminds me of ZZ Top, as already posted. Yeah, we all hope for something fresh and another fix of that buzz they gave us back in the day, but I'm happy they're still playing. I love these guys.

Nicely played but a standard progression in the vein of "Takin' Care of Business" (BTO), "Rock n Roll" (Velvet Underground), and "Sympathy for the Devil" (forgot the band). At least they still rock.

I will not pay $500 just to "be in the building" with all the rich businessmen (who usually leave after an hour or so). In New York the scalpers rule so you can expect the usual "No tickets are available..." Ticketbastard message, 2 seconds after they go on sale. I paid $450 to see them from 3rd row side of stage at MSG last time and I have no regrets because I felt like I w

Quote24FPS The interesting thing about Keith playing Bill's bass parts is when Bill would play those same bass parts on stage, they were as good, or better, than what Keith came up with. I often wonder what Bill's take on those songs would have sounded like in the studio. It was quite a mash up when they BOTH played bass on "Sympathy" in '75.

QuoteGravityBoy Sadly I came to the conclusion that Keith is a selfish prick though. His behaviour towards his band mates at times was reprehensible.

He was never treated as an equal and the fact that K

I watched the '89 Atlantic City show last night and Bill was rock solid. He and Charlie are the quintessential rhythm section; super tight and amazingly they don't even make eye contact. I don't fault Bill for leaving but in doing so he deprived us of some great sounds. The Vegas Stones were much more palatable with Bill, in my opinion.
