Recently, I read something about two rumoured shows (02 World) in Berlin in October 2013. Does anyone have more information about Berlin or a planned European leg of the tour?

Just curious...couldn't find anything about a five song choice for Anaheim...

Well, why not? I couldn't believe it when I read Tom @#$%& Waits either
Forum: Tell Me

I totally agree. They haven't been that good since the 2002 Licks shows.

Honestly, I think even Justin Timberlake was a nice surprise and he made Miss You sound fresh. I could do without Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani and Keith Urban, but Tom Waits and John Fogerty are simply great and so were their guest appearances. Florence Welch gave Gimme Shelter a wild Patti Smith touch and I even liked Let It Bleed with Dave Matthews back in 2006. Hope they will have Eddie Vedder (Wai

Peter Wolf would be a great choice for both Boston shows. Such a great singer and performer. He could sing nearly everything with Mick. "Nothing But The Wheel" is one of the greatest duets I know.

QuoteHanns Rainsch Has anyone who attended the show noticed this guy? I can't imagine something like that in Europe... This guy's funny...

QuoteCarlG They protest many shows in the Bay Area for years. I couldn't believe they protested U2 and Peter Gabriel. So sad there is so much hatred and stupidity. Well said.

I don't think telling people they're gonna die and go to hell for their sins is protected by the freedom of speech. I'm sure that if he was a member of a muslim sect, the OPD would have shown up immediately.

Well if such guys appear in front of concert venues in the Bay Area I don't wanna know what happens in Omaha or Cheyenne In Germany this guy would be most likely arrested for hate speech. Can't understand that people walk by without reactions. What a lunatic!

QuoteGRNRBITW i'm expecting 1972 all over again and i predict it will be 1972 in about 3 years.
Forum: Tell Me

IMHO anybody can complain about anything. But that doesn't mean everyone else has to agree. Some people seem to have absolutely unrealistic expectations about the Stones and the way they should perform. And it's true: One year ago I expected them to do some 18-song-warhorse-only-setlists with trainwreck performances in a kind of Licks/ Bigger Bang part XXII. I was really surprised and e

I think this is by far the best guest appearance on a Stones show since Bo Diddley in 1994 or Solomon Burke in 2002. No Expectations would also have sounded great with Waits. Hope they keep on bringing up real musicians and no more crappy celebrity rockers like Keith "Shopping Radio" Urban...Gary Clarke Jr. was a good choice, too.

QuoteGRNRBITW QuoteHanns Rainsch Judging from the stuff I listened to, the playing on the 2012/13 tour is much better than on the final Bigger Bang shows. Most of the songs, even the warhorses, sound fresh again (just listen to Brown Sugar from the Echoplex). They added some nice songs to the setlist, had great guests (Tom Waits!!!, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Florence Welch) and played 23 s

Honestly, Tom Waits is the only other artist in the world I would pay hundreds of bucks to see him. Even more than for the Stones because he appears quite rarely. His last tour in 2008 had less than 20 dates in theatres.
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteGreen Lady HAPPY - much as I love Happy, I wish Keith's set hadn't become a fixed part of the warhorse parade. Totally agree. He should do at least one ballad. Slipping Away. Thru and Thru. All About You, maybe a good cover like We Had It All
Forum: Tell Me

Emotional Rescue is a true gem. Hope they bring back She Was Hot, too. Killer song. Worked much better than Sway.
Forum: Tell Me

Quotekharrison Most likely Taylor with one song again. What a shame. Honestly, I never got the whole Taylor thing. I always found his playing rather aseptic and too technically focused. IMHO Midnight Rambler from Roseland 2002 sounds much better than any of the recent renditions.
Forum: Tell Me

Hopefully they will perform another song with Tom Waits. They should give him Mick Taylor's spot
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteTonyz I never understood the appeal of Wild Horses. Just play Moonlight Mile! I'd also prefer the latter one. No Expectations would be a nice change too.
Forum: Tell Me

She was quite good in "Man On The Moon". That alone is better than anything Gwen Stefani ever did.
Forum: Tell Me

This is a dream coming true. One of the few artist of his generation who still releases perfect new material and also one of the very few in the business who never sold out. Waits would never advertise a Mercedes car or something. Just two days after the crappy guests at Staples...
Forum: Tell Me

This is for sure the most interesting guest they ever had on stage!
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteWuudy Tom Waits will be playing with them. Really excited about this. What song do you guys think he will be playing on? Tom Waits!?! I can't believe this! It's past 4 in the morning here but I'm gonna stay up until he's on. Tom @#$%&' Waits! That's even better than Dylan or Springsteen.

Mine is "Old Ideas" by Cohen. Also like "Doom and Gloom" alot.

What a horrible disaster. To me, it seems that there is no proper solution. Here in Germany, where gunlaws are enforced much harder, we also have experienced horrible (highschool) massacres. No one can control people inside. Mental illness and sheer madness was an issue throughout the history of mankind.
Forum: Tell Me

Honestly, I never cared for Mick Taylor. He is not part of the band. I actually think his style is not that great and I would prefer a 2012 Rambler rendition without him.
