Saw Neil last night in Napa. Musically he was great but his rambling between songs was a bit concerning. He seem a bit confused and sounded as coherent as Bob Weir. I hope I am wrong.

Not terribly interested but think about it, how about the Stones do a 2023/2024 update to one of their great albums. A 2024 version of Exile or Beggar's Banquet or Sticky Fingers. Would be more interesting than a "new" album that has been rumored for years.

I saw Lou Gramm at a festival type show in Vegas in 2018. He went from a poor man's Robert Plant to a pudgy short guy with a band of poseurs, They knew all the moves from watching Youtube but musically were on par with 9 years olds learning how to play Guitar Hero. Atrocious set. Kind of made Axl Rose of 2023 seem like Mick Jagger. Would I go? Not even with comps.

Might have to try that next year BV. Kudos to your country. Visited both places this year and I enjoyed the people, sights and food. I wish my country made visitors feel as welcome.

It's this weekend and I flew in from a connection in Amsterdam. There are flights and trains into Bergen. Festival runs through Saturday but traveling south to Werchter for TW Classic with Bruce Springsteen tomorrow. I assume its a second weekend in June festival when the days are long and weather amazing.

Doing only Oxbow. He waited too long to announce this and my dance card is booked. I get home from a 10 days trip 18 hours before doors open at Oxbow. I have Greek Theater in Berkeley and Oxbow extras bought for me if anyone looking.

For anyone who wants to go to a festival but hates festival BS this is the one. First of all Bergen is an amazing and beautiful city and they do their festival in a 600 year old medieval fort. Sound was amazing, people are great and last night I got to see the Lumineers cover You Can't Always Get What You Want and meet them this morning in the hotel. Today is Built To Spill, First Aid Kit

It is the best band forum for any band. Why limit it to the Stones? Well done on all levels. Every one of us could add something to make it better, but twice as many would say the change made it worse. This site hits the sweet spot that meets all of our needs. Moderating another forum site I get how much effort is required and appreciate all of BV's efforts. Its a labor of love and
