QuoteVoodooLounge13 I still need to buy the super deluxe GRRR boxset. Couldn't bring myself to buy it when it came out due to the atrocious cover and price. Was waiting for it drop, and it went outta print faster than the price dropped!!! Voodoo - are you talking about the CD greatest hits set with the 45 etc. in the big box? I have one that I could sell you. My email is dp&#

Quotecrholmstrom I listened to a tape of Jeff's last show yesterday. He was still on top of his game in November. Johnny Depp didn't really play on that many songs & the songs he did play on weren't terrible. I was front row at the Boston show Oct. 6. No question Jeff was still at the top of his game. Such a shock, to say the least. As to Johnny - it added some star appeal

Related: Just watched Elvis. Easy to be skeptical, but turns out it really is fantastic. Showing it from the point of view of The Colonel, played brilliantly by Tom Hanks as is always the case, is a stroke of genius. And then there’s the soundtrack. And if it takes a somewhat typical and predictable arc, and makes you want to see the real 68 Comeback Special, still - 10/10.

re: 'They're old men with a dwindling fan base. Very few casual fans will even know about these ancient tours.' When I travelled from Boston to Lyon this past summer to see my 41st Stones show, the one thing I sort of most remember thinking is - these guys are bigger than ever! While waiting to get my Lucky Dip tix, it was insane (some people were kinda losing their shit - and

For those Nick Cave fans,and those just curious as to why he warrants a thread like this - he just released 4 films now available to rent or DL. The one Distant Sky, Live in Copenhagen can serve as a great intro. to Nick and the Bad Seeds. The 1st 3 songs are quiet (but intense in their own way) but by the time he gets to Higgs Boson Blues, things pick up considerably. Well worth the watch. Ri

On a more positive note, I was in the front row for the Beck/Depp show at the newly opened MGM in Boston a couple weeks ago, (right behind center field at Fenway Park - nice enough 5,000 seater). I enjoyed the heck out of it. Beck came out and did 45 minutes or so - reminding the crowd why he still remains simply without parallel - some jaw dropping moments. Then finally out comes Johnny, and

QuoteVoodooLounge13 She looks like a completely different person with the short hair. I’m a huge fan of Warhol’s art but admit idk much about him or it really. I’m going to have to look up and see if his movies have ever been released on dvd or Blu-ray. Voodoo - if you have Netflix, there is a very good series about Warhol. Good starting point to learn more about the artist and the man.

hey Hairball - yeah I had those tix for Jeff and ZZ for Boston and it got cancelled when Dusty Hill fell on the tour bus or something. We were able to transfer them I think for when just Jeff played the Orpheum in Boston - I think sitting in on the soundcheck was even better than the show itself after! I of course did not want to spend that much, but when I saw front row available (for less tha

All reports are DEpp is NOT on the upcoming US tour. Just got a front row for Boston - $285 with the fees. Ouch. But for me, worth it.

QuoteMononoM Many got bloc 421... I got 421 in Lyon, as did 2 other people I was with. And I saw several LD wristbands up there. Honestly, for me - I didn’t mind though.

Someone from the organization does. Then we can teach them how to organize the picking up of LD. It was a mess. TOTALLY. And so unnecessary. And the woman giving out the Tix was a total bitch. VERY stressful. And the 3 pairs I saw (including mine) were up in 421, way up high.

I was at the show and LUV’d it! Just great. As to the great dropped GS discussion - is it ‘possible’ maybe Sasha didn’t have Shelter in her? She did miss a show, right? Something to ponder. It ‘does’ require the vocal gymnastics of the show, and at the end of 2 hours in that heat.

Just back to my Lyon hotel (a total ordeal, but I’ll save the details). I thought it was a GREAT show - even without GS. My Lucky Dips got me up in the boonies of 421, across from stage and up high, but could see screens fine. And they were LOUD. Like really loud, but sounded great! Out of Time - a 1st for me - loved it as did the whole crowd , and then DEad Flowers, and then f’in Angie! OMG
