Philly rocks! Can't wait for the show tonight in my hometown where I saw them first in 78 at JFK (and then again in '81).

as for Mick's voice compared to the "old days", you certainly must not be comparing it to the Some Girls and Tattoo You tours, as his voice live is much better than it was back then when he wasn't taking care of himself/his voice live

QuoteShawn20 He brought a smile to my face - the interplay between he and Jagger was wonderful. Too bad there isn't more of that sort of action between Mick and Keith. + 1

Quoterollingon I think that Keith and Ronnie could sit down on chairs and focus on just playing, they don't have to stand, for me it's enough that Jagger moves around I think Keith and Ronnie could play much better by sitting down. I liked it during No Security tour when Keith sat down for Silver. He focused more on playing and singing the song back then. Otherwise, I'd hate it

just saw Bitch. Grohl injected a hell of a lot of energy into that one and Mick was totally into it - sounded great, bet guest and one of the best songs I've heard on the tour so far, by far. 100% rock and roll, no Gwen/Katy b.s.

oh, I see a thread has already been started on this.. anyway, here's my post from the main Vegas thread: having Katy Perry guest on Beast of Burden is sacrilege! The only way that would have been worthwhile is that if Mick f'ck'd her during Keith's set and then they showed the highlights during Satisfaction.

Another great one gong. He had an amazing presence. Was lucky enough to see him a few times in concert. Was watching the "Django" film last night and they played Freedom during a triumphant scene towards the end. Very powerful.

supposed to happen June 23.. when will it be announced?
Forum: Tell Me

so, I was lucky enough to have attended both shows of the festival. Before Keith came on unannounced last night, the stage lights were off as all the equipment was readied, but there was a definite recognition from those in front who could see through the darkness. I was wondering who they could be so excited about? Then the stage lights went on and it was KEITH! All smiles and he probably g

Ian Hunter is a treasure, and his new CD is fantastic. I saw him for the 3rd time in a year on Sunday at the City Winery in NYC. Lame venue and crowd, but he delivered in a big way. His lead guitar player is stellar.

following my "did Stu play piano on She's a Rainbow?" thread, I read a bit more on Nicky Hopkins. What an artist! shame he was in poor health for most of his life. here's some tidbits from Wikepedia: Hopkins played with the Rolling Stones on their studio albums from Between the Buttons in 1967 through Emotional Rescue in 1980 and Tattoo You in 1981, including the promine

first night of their 2013 tour, at the Beacon in NYC, on what would have been Ronnie's 65th birthday. They were smokin' hot and I'm glad I got to see them again. Rushed the stage for the last 4 songs (Gimme 3 Steps, Call me the Breeze, Sweet Home and Free Bird) - was the highlight. Guitar jams galore, great tunes... Tuesday's Gone!

QuoteRollingFreak There aren't many that will truly bring us that close together. Having Bruce Springsteen come out (my idol after Seger) was a dream come true for both of us. Just 3 stunning shows I've seen by Seger that I wouldn't trade for the world. Bottom line, if you are a fan, its absolutely worth it, especially if you haven't seen him recently. He gives an incredib

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 Why take Gaga so serious? I laughed all the way through her performance. She brought a good deal... And yes, I think even the mighty Jagger was scared of her at times. There was a close-up of her when they were standing close together, and she looked like a bruiser. I've noticed about her that while she is a pretty good musician, as a performer and pop icon she h

C'mon, Lady Gaga was the gorrilla of an otherwise fantastic show. I really think she scared Mick a few times, and even Charlie was laughing. That said, most of Gaga's vox were pretty good and at least she followed the arrangement for the most part (unlike Blige in BKLYN)

QuotesanQ Mick Jagger totally blew off Mick Taylor at the end when he had his arms raised. Is Mick Jagger still going to be that full of himself? I sure hope not...I really didn't like that very much. Power tripping maybe. After such a fantastic show, this is what you decide to post? Huh? I didn't even see it that way - Mick T was very much appreciated by all tonight, thank you v

They already have Krist on bass, so is Paul going to play guitar? I assume Grohl will take vocals and drums... Paul on vocals trying to sing Cobain would be painful to watch
Forum: Tell Me

This was clearly done to boost the PPV crowd, and Gaga, Bruce and even the Black Keys (at least in US) are definitely bigger draws than previous guests Bilge, Clark, Flo from Machine and Jeff Beck for the average run-of-the mill music fan who might be considering paying $50 or whatever... fans of Wyman and Taylor will be tuning in regardless - and REALLY hoping that they are there as in London.

I was sitting in the only tickets I could really afford - paid $300 each for tix that were originally on sale for $150 - rear stage/obstructed view. So, I didn't see any of the video montage, etc. but had a good view of the band (sides and rears mostly). The sound there was sub-par except on Wild Horses and YCAGWYW. a few observations: Mick Jagger is amazing and does not seem to have l

so, I bit the bullet and ordered a pair of tix today for $300 each, side view, behind stage. Although it's a steep fee, it's alot less than others have paid and I can't seem to fathom not seeing the Stones in my new hometow. Rock and Roll!
