Bill's playing was understated, but always in the pocket - which is the most important part of being a bass player in a band. I love listening to his isolated track on Gimme Shelter - it holds the song together in my opinion ...

Thanks to everybody who was there last night, especially the several international Stones fans we met from Canada, Germany, England and the USA who were in town for the postponed concert and who came along and donated to Beyond Blue. Given the venue is so tiny, collecting almost $300 via a coin jar on the night was a generous effort by the attendees. Thanks also to the sound engineer who work

Quotejamcas Hi, Just wondering if there are any travellers from interstate or overseas, that couldnt change their arrangements and are still heading to sydney ? Regards Jaime There was a large group of Argentinians at Bobby Keys' Sydney gig last night, wearing custom tour t-shirts for their tour group. When I arrived at the gig there was a group of 10-12 of them paying at the door.

Caught them last night. Bobby is still on top of his game, and the organ player is awesome. The lead guitarist had some nasty flubs at time, with a couple of nasties in CYHMK. But overall, it was a fun gig, and it was super to be able to see and hear Bobby up close in a small venue.

I went to Bobby Keys' gig last night in Sydney at The Basement on the off chance that Mick Taylor might make a guest appearance. No such luck, unfortunately. Bobby is still in fabulous touch though. One thing I noticed was a large group of Argentinians wearing customised tour t-shirts with only the Stones' Sydney and Melbourne dates on the back of the shirts - they've come a l

Black & Blue is such an underrated album. Charlie's snare on that album is the best snare sound in recording history, IMHO.

Quotebitusa2012 AFL footy season has started here and a quick look at the fixtures tells me they simply can't have this venue until after Sept in any event. Certainly no time in April/May, they they tour Europe. How about Hindmarsh Stadium? It holds 24,000 in concert mode. Perhaps two concerts may be needed to cater for the tickets sold for the Adelaide Oval show?

A postponement of 6 months or more would put any tour in doubt - there's no guarantee from a health point of view that Keith or even Charlie will be up to another tour in 12 months time.

QuoteWuudy Why do grown ups dress up like the stones and try to act like them? Because there is a market for it, and it pays well. In Australia, for example, there is a huge following for tribute bands of various genres. It's a combination of the fact that bands like the Stones don't tour Australia very often, and when they do the tickets are $500 or more, so the tribute band s
