She is a chick that a band from Michigan named themselves after & sound to some like the new version of Zep. They look like fun, they sell out fast, the scalped tix are expensive (at least in LA)...I just don't like Zep.

HDS was one of the best, Roger Ebert's quote on him was spot on. Great shot Rockman, looks to be at Dan Tana's (where else)? Wish he had a CD...always liked his music. Loved him in Straight Time.

Groovies are awesome. You got the newer addition of Victor Penalosa on drums (left a really good band called The Phantoms to join)...brother of Hector Penalosa of The Zeros (currently of Baja Bugs). The Groovies really are something hot. I still hope to see em live...but not sure I'll make a trip to LA for it.

Is it just me, or has Ronnie gone from the other guy to maybe the greatest guy in rock? He is always working, he seems incredibly personable, he has been a huge part of so many great pieces of rock n' roll. Sure, Ronnie is well known, but he still seems underrated. I become more impressed with Mr. Wood by the day...esp. in the offseason, when he's the only one still working. I haven

For anyone who thinks there are other threads for him to vent, maybe they should not come to this thread themselves... The Stones ARE old & past their prime. Frankly, I thought Mick/Charlie/Ronnie all sounded pretty good...Keef...is still my favorite musician of all time, but he can't play anymore. No reason for the Stones to hang it up, it's their craft, do what you enjoy.

Rush claims it is local merchants paying off the media so that people rush to buy goods & raise profits. While I do not agree, it is clearly now a political issue (as is virtually all news), and thus, is against the rules here to discuss. I do not make the rules here, and whether or not I agree with them is moot...we should follow them...blindly.

More politics being injected. Rush Limbaugh says it is fake news...thus there is now a difference of opinion in the political world...and thus...it should not be here, as I understand the rules.

First off, just like AC/DC, it makes more sense for someone to tour getting big audiences than to tour getting small audiences, doing the same show. Further, why would any artist ever retire? Presumably, these are lucky folks who got to make a great living doing what they enjoy. What is there to retire from? If bored, change. Retire? That sounds like death. I'm an accountant...I get t

My first concert does not really count. I saw the Joe Ely Band in 1981 when I was 5yo. My family is/was friends with all the Lubbock Mafia guys. My first real concert was The Rolling Stones in 1989 (earthquake benefit) when I was 13. I LOVED that gig. Just after that, I went to see AC/DC at the Cow Palace, then the Grateful Dead in Oakland & AC/DC again just after that. I think 13

Belgrade in autumn sound unlikely. The Mega Concert is going to be early October and BV has said to keep your dates open in Autumn here in the States (hoping West Coast heavy). Adding Belgrade to that just does not make sense.

There is no way each act is demanding $7M for this. Dylan NEVER makes that kind of money while say the Stones can. An even split doesn't make any sense unless there is some sort of friends agreement between the talent...and I REALLY doubt anyone shakes hands to cut out a few million for their own mates.

I hear what you are saying, but wouldn't you think Mick & Keef would still want to perform (well, Mick anyway) and you know Ronnie would (if it were Charlie who was out). They could play by themselves, but why? Maybe create a new band name where the remaining 3 could continue to play together? Why wouldn't Mick & Keef want to play together if they remained a touring act? Why

So the Stones would be HUGE if Charlie or Ronnie passed on.
