QuoteJumpinJackOLantern Quoteslew Mick is always very guarded in what he has to say. Part of what makes him facsinating and somewhat of a mystery. Frustrating is the word that comes to mind. About fanship, one point: One should not control one's idols!

I hope for new song material. However, there are some problems about the conditions. As I have said in another thread: ................................. New material distributed in the ordinary way through an album meets with a stumbling stone.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotebuffalo7478 A lot of members of IORR have invested lots of time and money in seeing the Stones over the years. Many (including me) have heard Miss You, Satisfaction, Start Me Up, etc a few times too many, and would prefer to hear other songs from the band's extensive back catalog. They have not done anything to 'add' to some of the warhorses in years

QuoteHavo in my opinion they should do at least 5-6 of their so called "warhorses" in every concert. I know, I know--we heard satisfaction--brown sugar-JJF-SMU or TD a lot of times. But stadium or Arena shows are totally different. Come on---everybody of you is clapping the hands , when they start with SMU! these are songs, which 85% of the audience would like to hear!!!

My moment of sentimentality eventually: For the latest 50 years of my life, "There've been good times There've been bad times" But all this time there've been the Rolling Stones! Simply, thank you!

I suggest another title that makes possible quite opposite interpretations and therefore no distinct sentimentality: "Not Fade Away"

One must feel sorry for them that are called whiners. We must not be harsh with them. They can't have an easy time, given the level of the first concert (as far as I have heard it).

Usually in connection with Stones concerts, I hope for variation , not too many warhorses and so many newer songs as possible. Until tonight I have only listened to songs from the first concert through the PC at my work. But tonight, tonight!!! Now I can say; Some of the warhorses sound completely revitalized. It is as if this was a concert on the first tour they were played, so fresh do

I wonder, I wonder: Might the Rolling Stones become a three guitar band for a possible ensuing album and then for concerts during 2013! What about two guitars doing some kind of underlying weaving and a solo guitar on top of that? Wish thinking, of course, from one, that is not attending any of the four concerts of 2012.

I am pleased by the fact that both the new songs were played. Usually I like to hear even more songs from later years. However, on the present occasion to me the two new songs take as starting point for a new possible development of the band stylistically the period of their transition from their late 60s singles to the '68 - '72 albums. Then, paradoxially, it is in harmony with

Listen to the musical representation of coming down again on "Coming Down Again". Its sheer greatness at that representation. The feeling and mood of the song. In one approach to GOATS HEAD SOUP,take this song as the key track of the album, and listen to the album in the light of such an interpretation.
