Went to see Tina on her final tour opener, Kansas City in 2008. From row 3. She was all over the place, belting out every number with force, keeping pace w/ young dancers. A fascinating person & life. '08 seems like yesterday; amazing how quickly we slip into old age and bow out.

The funny thing is that not many of those behind the outide barricades seem to realize that you can also just walk into the hotel and end up with a much closer view of departing members, though probably no chance of an autograph if that's what you're

QuoteHis Majesty Satisfaction was written in spring 1965, recorded in May, released in June in USA. The World Ain't Changed was released in August 1965. The drummer has claimed they performed it live around LA (where Satisfaction was recorded) before Satisfaction and that a performance was broadcast on the radio. No hard proof of that but who knows... the fact that The Last Time was l

QuoteGerardHennessy Okay, okay. I get the point that The Stones have thrown in the occasional - VERY occasional - 'new' track, to dilute the burden of endless warhorse-heavy set-lists. But, seriously. ONE or at best TWO 'different' tracks at specific concerts! It still leaves an awful lot of overly familiar material. Given the amount of truly amazing music The Stones have made

Bad use of the song. Very square and old vibe. Makes me think of dinner at an old folks home. Assume Mick and Keith got a very large check. Can all you can eat ribs and fried shrimp make a dead man come?

QuoteVoodooLounge13 For those who travel the world for the shows (I myself have only gone across the pond to their home turf), how do you find the environment in Argentina? Is it easy to get around? Are there a lot of English-speaking folks? Or is language an issue similar to say France? I've seen plenty of videos of the Stones in Argentina, and the fans there are incredibly passionate.

QuoteNilsHolgersson Yes, I remember Mick was performing in the White House in 2011 with Jeff Beck. People here were saying: oh man he's almost 70, he's out of breath after one song, no way the Stones will ever perform an entire concert again! And here we are 10 years of touring later waiting for the next tour announcement! I thought that too! So glad to be wrong!
