Hi everyone. Been back for an hour now and thought I'd add my comments regarding the Frankfurt show. Patrick is correct with regards to the sound and would probably have to agree that the roof being covered did more bad than good. It sounded very "muddy." From my experience it usually seems as if every instrument occupies a certain individual place in the mix, which creates very

It was a fantastic show! I had seen Aerosmith in 1997 in Columbus and, although it wasn't bad, I was happy to say I had seen them and didn't need to see them again. A guy I work with is a big Aerosmith fan and we - along with my boss - decided to drive up to Butzbach to see them. I wasn't too fond of the openers - Stone the Crow? and Edguy (the poor mans Manowar) but, man, Ae

I've just decided I'm going to do Brno and Warsaw this year. After seeing some of the gems they dusted off during rehearsals I decided Frankfurt wasn't enough. I think I'm going to go see the Stones in Brno and Warsaw (I seriously though about the Budapest show as well but, since it's on the Friday preceeding the others I've opted to take the entire next wee off).

My dad used to work for Eastern Airlines in Atlanta from the early '70s until the late '80s. We would frequently travel back and forth from Georgia to Ohio, where my folks were from as most airlines back then gave employees and family members free flying.

Right on Lukester. I wouldn't consider myself the biggest Skynyrd fan but I think "One More From The Road" is proof enough of what Skynyrd was about. Comparing acts such as the Stones and Synyrd is like comparing apples and oranges. The Stones never had and never will have the incredible musicianship a band such as Skynyrd had and Skynyrd never was a band able to reach the le

Those Frankfurt ticket prices are bogus. For gits and shiggles I checked Aerosmith (I paid less than 50 for the Frankfurt/Butzbach show from a standard German ticket agency) and they're listed at €195.00. This world ticket shop looks like it's just out to rip everyone off.

They played their first show on Tuesday (a private Big House benefit show). The setlist was great, opening with Hot 'Lanta and closing with Into the Mystic and One Way Out. I kind wait for the real run to start - last year was great. I've got all shows on CD and each one is better than the last. The Allmans are quite possibly the greatest live band in the world.

I think that, just like Rock and Roll and all other types of music, country is a genre with a lot of different sub-categories. We all probably like a little country. We just don't know it. I think a lot of people like to criticize the entire genre based on what they've heard from maybe one of these categories. Personally I love country - traditional country and modern country that pa

Why do people have to start acting like pricks when simple questions like these are asked? Honestly, the intro isn't hard at all, but I think Keith's doing more than playing. he's posing and doing this and that and you're probably bound to screw it up if you're not paying attention to what you're doing. I always like it when he doesn't get that opening sli

If John Landau was allowed to call Springsteen the future of Rock'n Roll back then, well, I'm going to go off on a limb here and call Ryan Adams my generation's Rock'n Roll future.

Go see Gregg. Gregg's an underrated songwriter and also a very good guitarist. He mixes the set up with solo material and rearranged Allmans Classics. There are also always a couple of surprises. In Boston he did Turn On Your Love Light and a cover of Bob Dylan's Just Like A Woman. The recording sounds great. Sigh, wish he'd come to Europe . . . .

I haven't heard much talk about him (and I get the feeling a lot of people aren't too fond of him) but I really like Ryan Adams. I saw him at a small club with his band, the Cardinals, last Tuesday in Ludwigshafen and they just blew the fookin' roof off of the building. Anyways, I'm always been kind of drawn to his song "Dear Chicago." I've never heard a more
