Thanks for putting together and posting. I only saw Maya once, with Coco Montoya on guitar. Little-know kid at the time, he forged a solid blues career, like so many BB guitarists. Great guests on this! Can't wait to listen.

David is keeping the music alive. The 2nd half of his Broadway show is Talking Heads only - and the part of the show that got the audience alive. Though I would love to see them tour.

It's a basic song. Though many singles by many musicians are meant to appeal to the least common denominator. Made to dance to or be a stadium anthem vs generating anything deeper. I'm waiting to hear what else is on the album, especially lyrically. The range and speed of the fingers declines with age. Great melody, biting wit, surprise or add social commentary and the ability to pai

Sadly, but to be expected in any band's catalog, even the Stones have had some that were maybe best left undercover of the night, rather than released officially.

at 86, guesting on a song is about as much as any musician can do. If Charlie has some drumming on the album, maybe jazz/blues covers over the years during sessions - unused at the time, but Charlie, as usual, in the groove, whether first take or just a jam?

Quotesouldoggie QuoteMathijs I always wonder how people can say they were at a 'bad' 1975 or 1978 show, and then say the 1994 or 2002 or 2014 show was excellent. Any 1975 or 1978 show is about 100 times better than any show after 1990. There simply is no contest. Mathijs Totally agree. Cleveland '75 and Cleveland '78 were absolutely fantastic shows.

I think they were trying to fit in with the times and appear more like newer, hipper bands of the time: punks. Play faster, rougher with more snarl/growl in Mick's delivery, shorter songs, push out some energy and be on and off in 75 minutes. And at 75 minutes it would have been a long punk set at the time. Such a big change from 1975. But at the same time they were trying to change pace in

I would love to see them together. At least here in the States, Nick has toured with Los Strait Jackets backing him. I loved Billy Bremner's guitar work and vocal work with Rockpile and loved his work with The Pretenders, filling in seamlessly for James Honeyman-Scott. A shame we do not hear more from them all.

With all the upfront investment in stage, video, effects, rehearsal, visas, entourage travel, legal work......and maybe most critical, sadly, insurance...an overseas 15-20 date tour has to be challenging. An illness or injury and a show or 2 or cancelled, or sales lagging (70,000 people in each of 30 US stadiums is not happening like in the 70s thru 1981. 42,000-45,000 more like it, if that) or

Who fan from before I was 10 yrs old, listening to Tommy when it came out. Have seen the band over a dozen times in different incarnations, and they were still killing it, even post-Entwistle in the 2010s. Roger was in good voice. Pete still playing with power. But saw them on the orchestra tour early in Covid and, wow, had things declined. Roger has lost a lot of power, and Pete seemed lost a

I have a close family member who suffers from schizophrenia, with paranoia, among other serious illness. It's a horrible disease. Very few effective meds exist today, and those that do carry heavy side-effects, leading to sufferers often no complying with treatment and instead 'self medicating'. And that never goes well.

I think most on the 'never played' lists earned spots there for a variety of reasons. Some are bad and were bad to begin with . Others did not age well.

Procol Harum was the first band I 'discovered' on my own in 1972 at age 12. Prior to that my gateway to music was a much older brother who loved the Stones, Beatles, Who, The Band, Dylan. Procol had lyrics that were often way outside the norm - definitely not the formula of boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl of 60s and early 70s pop. Musically, the Hammond organ and grand piano, with the o

Thanks BV. There are so many big and little details to arranging a tour by any band, let alone the Stones. I's dotted, T's crossed on everything from venue availability, contracts for everything, finance, personnel availability, routing, insurance, transportation, visas, permits...mind boggling detail. I can only imagine the piles of paperwork. A machine with many moving parts.

Cleveland is an easy 3 hour drive from Buffalo. Also a short ride from Detroit and Pittsburgh. 5 hours from Toronto. Plenty of places to stay. Plenty to do around town. The only negative of the last show I saw, in Pittsburgh in 2021, was the crowd's lack of energy. The band had 'it' still.

Thanks for the upload. I agree, we may very well need something fun and uplifting to listen to...often...in 2023. I only saw the B-52s once, opening for The Who in 1982 in Orlando, in a rowdy, super drunk, violent crowd. First time and only time I have left a show a little early over worries about a crowd. Fights breaking out everywhere. The B-52s did not get very far into their set when
