David Frickes opinion is the same as Gazzas, its an opinion. If you love Springsteen you're going to love it, if you like Springsteen you'll like, or grow to like it, if you hate him etc.

The seats for Twickenham which I got through the fan club were okay but the fanasylum Holland package was good even if there was no hospitality for Rotterdam. Hi Brand :-)

Got it Friday but haven't listened yet. It comes as a ltd ed combo with a DVD (and only cost me £9). Bruce seems to split people here but he has written some great songs and its nice to clear the palette between listening to Stones all the time. 2 Stones notes: There is a crack down on ebay sales of Albert Hall tickets, please Stones do the same to stop rip off touts.

Since 1982: first night at Wembley 82 was a push and a struggle, remember becoming part of a human chain that went across the pitch jumping up and down to Brown Sugar. Santiago De Compostella was pretty wild too. Been in wilder crowds so I'm glad Stones audiences have toned down so you can enjoy the music and not try to survive (after the Pistols in 2002 I was bruised all over and had a bl

Keith would say the record has the perfect version and in concert its different every night (cue 'God joins the band' comments). Check out your boots for Before They Make Me Run, it seems that the number of chords in the intro change on a regular basis.

Orlando Bloom at a press conference for the new Ridley Scott movie on April 7th: As for the Keith Richards rumours - "I've heard the rumours as well as you. I think if he makes an appearance it will probably be in the third movie and we'll see what happens".

Saw three shows, two Wembley and Leeds. Thought they got better as they went along.

Modern new bands or cult established artists not The Pretenders, Bryan Adams or Crowes. If the Stones want to bring a young audience in AND show they can be as good as twenty somethings.

I enjoy Springsteen although I wouldn't consider myself a fan (which as I have all his albums shows how much of a Stones fan I am), fav album Wild, Innocent And The E Street Shuffle. Bruce has appeared with various Stones at the RnR Hall Of Fame bashes and played at least one cover (Street Fighting Man) in concert. Have no doubt that at least some of the Stones like him. To me he came o

These people are queing to pay their last respects to their spiritual leader and you compare it to getting tickets for a concert as a technical exercise. What are you trying to say? That Stones fans show more or less devotion than the Catholic Church? Sorry but this is sad and a bit sick.

The Holland leg was good with a couple of hiccups (no hospitality for the Ahoy) but the Fan Asylum people worked hard to make it up.

Trivialising the death of the Pope to the level of getting tickets for a concert. Very sad.

Like them, got a best of and the stuff they did with Dylan. Really liked Robbie Robertsons first album although it is a bit 80s now and, dare I mention it here, has U2 on it.

Heard it, just okay. They live in the shadow of their first two albums and wear their influences on their sleeves too prominently. You can hear Street Fighting Man and some Who in there. They remain massively popular in the UK and just sold out MSG in the US but I think they got to the 'oldies' band status now.

First show in Phily 89 was long but there was a power outage. Have to be one of the 75 shows, one of the NY or LA shows clocks in at 160 minutes.

I agree with Gazza it'll end when the reaper calls. A Last Waltz scenario sounds great however they would charge high prices for tickets and probably telecast (which means they can get pay per view bucks quicker than waiting for all the editing, sound etc for a cinema release). Any way when they have guests on stage it has never really been that wonderful for me, not a musical event mo

Saw them in December 1980 in Southampton, about 3,000 people. It was okay but seeing them in 2003 with the Stones made me think their set list hadn't really moved on that much (although i would not critisise the Stones so much for this).

25x5 needs updating but it could be done. Rewind however is stuck in the 80s and should only be used as an extra (perhaps on an updated 25x5). As we now have the Beatles Anthology and Stones Off The Record set perhaps they should employ an archivist to pull it all together in to a multi disc set. Once the Stones and Allen klein are dead I'm sure it will happen.

Releases depend on the label releasing (use to be strange fruit), the artist and the money involved. The Stones appeared on the BBC before they were signed with Allen Klein whose interest lies in the publishing, but the four remaining members of that line up would have to give permission or more Klein/Stones litigation. there has only ever been speculation about the possibility of release, no
