Quotestone4ever QuoteLongBeachArena72 Hard to judge from the sound on that clip. On the plus side, I didn't hear any bum notes from KR. On the down side the entire band sound as if they are underwater and on thorazine.

Quotestone4ever Put it this way LB. You asked does Mick do solo's , nodding towards Mick possibly being more competent than Keith on SFTD. I'm saying i have seen no evidence that Mick could play the solo on SFTD. I'm not saying he cant, but nothing that's been shown on iorr or anywhere else shows him playing that sort of solo. You can't compare what you haven't see

Since I can barely tie my shoes unassisted, far be it from me to know what you need to do on guitar to be considered "competent." Since he's been playing guitar on and off stage for 50 years and has no doubt written hundreds of songs on guitar, my guess would be that he has spent thousands of hours at least 'strumming' a guitar. Whether that makes him 'competent'

QuoteStonedRambler Quotestone4ever I thought Karl Danson was a great replacement for Bobby at first, he respectfully stayed with Bobbys style and approach while adding his own brilliant distinctive touches. But know i think he has strayed a little to far away from Bobby's original Sax parts. Probably just me because i was such a big fan of Bobby and the way he played. Agree. As Karl said hi

QuoteHairball Ray Davies comments via Daily Mail UK: On July 27 Sir Mick Jagger released an urgent EP, Gotta Get A Grip/England Lost, targeting Brexit, immigration and terrorism. That afternoon, sitting in his front parlour, Sir Ray Davies CBE, considers his chateau-dwelling contemporary’s edgy effort. ‘How inspired,’ The Kinks kingpin hisses, his voice dripping with sibilant sarcasm.

Just came across this: Garcia played 2,317 live shows with The Grateful Dead. If you add up all of his various side projects over the years, you come to around 1,300 shows. That's a LOT of concerts outside your core band!

QuoteHound Dog Long Beach yes that is the one. One thing I also wanted to mention is that Dead & Company with John Mayer is absolutely awful to me. His vocals ruin such great songs. We saw the final show of last summer's tour at Shoreline and really dug it. I agree about Mayer's vocals. I knew very little about him as a guitarist ... and, man, that dude can play! He lacks Jerry

Quotestonehearted Quotepowerage78 Mick is the engine of the band. I thought it was Charlie. Mick is the look of the band, it's presentation. He's the famous one, after all. As a business proposition, which is really what the band is these days, Mick wears dual CEO/CFO hats.

A brief update to my feelings about the two new songs: While they continue to underwhelm me, musically speaking, there are 2 reasons I'm able to go back and re-listen ever day or two: --Mick is in, by latter-day standards, excellent voice. He's reined in his thin, reedy affectedness for the most part, and really dug deep for what I regard as some nearly vintage rock'n'so

Quotestone4ever I would say that the other three would still do it if the ticket prices were a fraction of what they are, it would have to be a much smaller scaled down production though, i don't think Micks interested in doing this unless its big big bucks.
