The 81 intro with the "Take the A train" from Duke Ellington was not bad either, it fits well with the giutar intro from Under My th

Hi folks, In term of: - where to play first ( USA) - ticket prices - variety of shows ( stadiums,arenas,clubs) - setlistwise ( more changes, more risky) - Payperview Tv show & guest appearence and so on ... the Rolling Stones proofed that , at least since 89, they are at their best, during the first half of their world tours, which always take place in the USA.

Hi folks, I am a hard core Stones fan...but I ain`t a musican...so reviewing Stones shows to me is way different than someone does who is a musican by himself...

Hi, I don`t see how to compare them...The Edge is a great guitarist... but, comparing him to Keith is not fair...I mean, it`s the Stones, man. I don`t like that "Who is better" thing at all...
