I respect you suggestion and can understand where it comes for. However - this is like the issue of smoking at the end of a meal where various people meet together. For some it is obvious, other would say they would not come in the first place, or would just leave early. Still: almost ALL would enjoy a get together dinner without the smoking ceremony around the table just as we finish. So the &qu

The Who The Doors Quite lately I became a bit tired of my RS playlist, as it happens from time to time. The Who never found their way out of the playlist, but the doors did. I searched for a download of “Absolutely live” as I was away from home and from my vinyl copy of AL, including all the “bumps” of the record (scratches) which I learned to regard as an integral park of the song.

Shows were great. Sound was great. They were relaxed. Everything went like Swiss watch. I think that, as far as my humble opinion goes, the highlights were: 1. Ronnie Wood. Not only his contribution, but also the fact that as a Stones fan you surely like to see him in such good shape. 2. Mick Jagger - well... like wine. He just gets better all time. 3.

This was the first ever tour of the Stones where I was able to attend and had a genuine feeling, in a calm and non histeric way, the feeling this is gonna be my "last RS live experience". My HP gigs last summer were definetly under a strong feeling there would be European dates following and I knew I'm gonna do them too. I planned for 2 gigs - my experience with the Paris ticket
