I was there, and I just called up a Google image of Tim Ries to compare with the guy I saw playing last nite behind Chuck. And there's no doubt, it indeed was Tim Ries playing the 2nd keyboard.

I think it was Tim. I spotted the guy behind Chuck and asked someone next to me who it was, and he said "it's one of the horn guys." Definitely not Matt Clifford.

Ronnie was very loud and prominent on nearly every song. The days of showcasing only his paint-by-numbers slide workout on the abysmal You Got Me Rocking...and you don't hear anything else from him...are obviously over. But he hit some incredibly bad notes. His solo on YCAGWYW had some dreadful clams. It was a sloppy, sloppy show last nite in Montreal, though I have to admit I enjoyed

Love Train is a 70s soul/disco classic, and the Stones' version doesn't hold a candle to the original from the O'Jays. Still, I was thrilled that Mick added it to the setlist 3 years ago. Like I need to hear them play gawddam Shattered one more freakin' time. Now _there_ is a song that's a piece of shite. I find it _very_ amusing that so many here bitch about the Stone

I know where Ned Devine's is, but I have to admit I've never been inside. But it's an easy walk, serves draft beers, and if the music isn't too loud would probably work well.

The Shidoobee gathering doesn't meet _any_ of BV's criteria: it's a long 45 minute walk from the arena, it will feature ear-splitting music barring any chance of conversing, and it will be filled with beer-swilling Shidoobeans intent on getting plastered before the show.

Though it ain't saying much to call ABB the "best Stones middle age crises" cd. Rather like suggesting that Saved By The Bell is the best post-classic age TV sitcom.

My advice to anyone interested in these Rolling Stones SACDs: GRAB 'EM FAST, while you still can. It is my understanding from someone originally involved with the SACD project 3 years ago (NOT an ABKCO employee) that ABKCO has already deleted the SACDs of the Stones from their catalogue, and is now issuing the remasters only in standard CD format. (In fact, in some countries, the SACD/CD

I own _every_ CD and vinyl they ever put out, and hundreds more studio and live boots, too. But the truth is, the new CD is a piece of crap. Absolute generic drivel. There are 2 good songs and 14 pieces of filler.
