Soldier Field (Chicago), July 8, 1978. I was 16 and could not wait (bceause my parents said I was too young to go in '75). HUGE disappointment. It was general dmission, my cousin was supposed to pick us up at 6:30am but didn't come until about 10:30. By the time we got there, the only seats left were literally twelve rows from the top as far back as one could get. When they came

Mick's dancing seems more cold and forced in big stadium shows and during the first few numbers (although he and rest of the band make always make a great entrance). But there were some numbers during the Licks, No Security, and BTB tours that seem to bring out the dancer in him...If You Can't Rock Me, Stray Cat Blues, Out of Control, Mannish Boy, Tumbling Dice, You Got Me Rocking and

Mick, do you prefer an enthusiastic, animated audience to the corporate dullards who mostly can afford today's prices? Charlie, how did learn to dress so well? Ron, have you ever read the Artist's Way by Julia Cameron? If not, you might want to. Keith, as a father have you ever felt guilty about your serious drug use and the types of people who have profited from it? I woul

Good Times Bad Times acoustic...sweet... Out of Control...hot Dance Part 1...cool... Lady Jane...beautiful I Got the Blues...soul Mothers Little Helper...fun... As much as I love Let It Loose, it might be best to leave that gem alone. I'm afraid it would be impossible to do it justice...but if they think they can, I'm all for it!

During the somewhat recent tours that preceeded the high ticket prices, namely '89 and '94, scalpers/brokers were often getting $300 or more. I think the question became, if people are willing to pay it, why not charge that much face value? Why let the scalpers/brokers make so much why the act can?

filstan, Sorry I missed it especially because November's show was great. One more question since you are local (Chicagoan)...did you ever see the Joe Ely Band at Fitzgeralds back in the 80s when David Grisson and Bobby Keyes were in the line-up? In my view, they were second live only to the Stones (with Peter Wolf a few years ago at Fitzgeralds in 3rd)...not that I like to rank them, on
