QuoteDrummerboy Guess I broke the rules again. Time to call it a day with this forum stuff. Maybe but this thread is really fascinating given all the developments (Mick now back with the Stones as a special guest) and the overall timeline of the posts. Understand why there should generally be a new thread but this topic is really unique in my opinion. My two cents anyway. I've enjoyed

Revisiting what could have been in the 1980's is really just crying over spilled milk at this point. One nice outcome from the prolonged break in the 1980's and specifically not touring in 1986 was Keith's involvement in Chuck Berry's Hail, Hail! Rock n' Roll. He did a wonderful job as the band director and did allow Chuck to finally deliver one great concert. No sma

Quotetreaclefingers LYL, I wouldn't focus so much on the quantity of time but rather the quality, did you enjoy it? By your own admission you don't like to sit that long, so I guess you 'lucked out'. For some reason in Brooklyn, although he played the same number of songs, and told the same number of stories, you got roughly 30 minutes less of concert than the rest of th

Quotewhitem8 As I said above. I just saw Macca's show in Chicago last Wed. It clocked in at 2 hours and 50 minutes. NOT counting the video. He told three short stories. One about Hendrix after Let Me Roll it/Foxy Lady, one about Blackbird and the civil rights movement, and one about Something. And his band, while younger than Paul are all in their fifties, and have been playing with Paul lon

I definitely had the song count wrong when I stated 30 but I definitely recall looking at my watch when he took the stage just around 9:15 that night and then when he left the stage at 11:30pm. Now I am not counting the lenghty video that started playing around 8:45pm leading into his perform

Quotetreaclefingers QuoteHalup QuoteLoveYouLive QuoteBlueranger The thing simply is, that Macca are in better shape than The Stones. Sure enough, Jagger can perform every bit as much as McCartney, but Mick are dependent of the other Stones, where for example Keith, can't do it for more than two hours. Paul are in great shape and can hire the backing musicians he needs. Remember The Stone

Quote71Tele How about a duet featuring Mick Jagger and Keith Richards? That would be a novelty. Didn't you get that with Salt of the Earth? And Happy when it was first performed live years ago.

Specific to Paul, last year his show ran approximately 2 hours & 15 minutes and the setlist didn't really change (maybe 1 song) from night to night. He bascially approaches it similar to the Stones.... yes there are more songs but many of them are extremely short. The one time I caught Bruce for a full concert, the show did last almost 3 hours but the final 45 minutes were basically
Forum: Tell Me

I saw Macca last year. Most of the 30 songs he plays, he quickly rifles through and they only last about 2-3 minutes. Much shorter than your average live Stones song that goes about 5-6 minutes. There are some exceptions such as Hey Jude, were he may go into an extended jam and sing along. Paul spends a lot of time talking and telling stories. I would say if the concert was over 2 hours, you a

We can all hope and wish for the Stones to go an record a new studio album. However many things have to happen (and have yet to happen) for that to become a reality. A duets album would be possible with very little effort directly from the band. The band could completely stop and we could still get this. Given the situation, I would welcome such and album. If you aren't interested, do

I would think there is a chance that It's All Over Now gets dusted off and played in the setlist tonight. Just a guess but it would be a nice tribute.

I found it interested that Mick Taylor was on FaceBook yesterday asking for people to vote for Dead Flowers and to request/post on the Stones FB page that he play on it.

Quotestanlove I have always loved the Stones music and have seen them live 3 times but I honestly don't see why anyone would be excited about seeing them anymore..Its basically the same show ever time and it has been for 25 years..It amazes me that people actually see them numerous times on a tour..Can anyone explain this.

Visiting Macon and going to the Big House is on my list. But if you are a ABB fan and you haven't caught them live at the Beacon, that should be the priority. There are only 6 shows (4 rescheduled from March + 2 additional shows) this coming October. Many indications that will be it for the band that reformed in 1989.

If we are actually talking about "unique"then the venue has to be not typical or unusual for a concert. This basically removes any venue such as a stadium, arena, concert hall, amphitheatre or park that requirely hosts concerts. I was also very impressed with the Waldbuhne and would have to say it would be one of my favorite places to see a concert. But it isn't unique as they
