If they do re-issue GHS, there might be an exciting addition or two to the setlist. They already play Angie frequently on the B-stage, but we may also get Dancing With Mr D, Doo^5 Heartbreaker, or, wait for it, STAR STAR. I think just seeing them play Star Star live again would be worth the price of admission.

I'm assuming the stage, theme and setlist will be the same as the 2019 NA Tour. Note to Stones: Please stick with the Tongue Classic logo. Thanks. edit: if they do come out with a new album and GHS re-release, I'm sure that will change the setlist.

Dead at 103. Cut down in the prime of life. Too many great films to list that will live on for centuries. Great actors in the gene pool, too. Well done. RIP Kirk.

The modded iPod route gives you the ability to carry a music library of many hundreds of CDs in CD quality in your pocket. It's cheap, easily upgraded, can be connected to many car stereo/NAVI systems and Rockbox gives you the option of having that music in lossless format. The real beauty isn't so much when you make your 10-minute drive to the grocery store, but when you take long r

If you want a dedicated MP3 player, you should investigate and consider the modded iPod route. I've done a number of them. I have a 5th generation (sometimes called an iPod Video) that I've upgraded to a 1TB solid-state with a monster battery that has my collection of 300+ Led Zeppelin boots. Another identical modded iPod has my entire CD collection. Both are Rockboxed and loaded with l

As noted above, Roger was in spectacular voice last week in Sunrise, Florida. But during the soundcheck, he kept complaining about the A/C and what it would do to his voice. I have seen Roger scold the audience for smoking pot, saying it would be bad for his voice. He seems to be much more protective of his voice now than he was even 10 years ago.

No thread about the Miami concert would be complete without a complete track of Hurricane Dorian. I've animated each of the 64 NHC forecast maps for Dorian. The image jerks around (especially near the end) when it moves and scales the map, but the position of the hurricane along the track is smooth.

Forgive me if there is a policy against boardies posting pictures they took at the concert. I tried to use imgur to host the images, but couldn't get them to display. I wound up using postimg.cc. Please let me know if they don't display in your browser. Here are a handful of my shots from the Miami concert:

I'm finding that some people didn't follow Mick's giant pythons joke. He said that after watching the Weather Channel, he went out for a long walk, and he saw a lot of large iguanas. But then he started seeing large pythons. Then he said, "All I can say is, 'Send them back!" Most in the audience laughed, some groaned, and some spewed steam out of their ears.

Tonight's concert will be a last moment of normalcy before the mayhem begins for thousands of people there. Some will have their lives changed forever. I hope the Stones make an effort to give them a memory that will help them through the dark times that lie ahead.

They could not have the concert on Saturday. A large percentage of the attendees live in affected areas. Anybody who thinks all you need to do to prepare for a hurricane is go home and close the windows has not been through a mandatory evacuation. People in Palm Beach and adjacent counties are going bat shit crazy already, and understandably so. There are a million things you have to do to pro

The 11pm advisory shows no significant changes. In 2012, what was to become Super Storm Sandy was a Category 1 hurricane just east of the Bahamas and heading almost due north. We had a number of really nasty storm bands in Miami as it passed, over 250 miles to the east. I said at the time that Sandy was a bad storm, to have such an impact from so far away. We all remember what it did to Cuba a

Quotetwo4fun111 Quotebam The current wind speed projection for Saturday evening is not great. agreed...50-60mph at showtime probably wouldn't be acceptable not to mention possible power outages,etc That's a probability map, not wind speed map. Still, it shows between 50-60% probability of tropical storm force winds (45mph or more) at show time.

The two most reliable models -- American and European -- diverge wildly, causing the unusually large cone. The American model takes Dorian along the northern edge of the cone, then curving up to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Unfortunately, the historically more reliable European model hugs the southern edge of the cone and targets northern Palm Beach. Keep in mind the farther south Dorian

There will be a hurricane off the coast of Florida at show time. It's now projected to make landfall in Florida as a Category 1 with sustained winds of 80mph and gusts over 100mph. If it follows the center line of the projected path (very unlikely), it will be a little over 200 miles east of the concert.
