2 real stories. First one in Cleveland last tour. There was a guy next to me, the kind wood-cutter just lefting his pick up outside the arena, wearing a cap, 60 years old looking a little bit like an old "beach boy". When the Stones begins CYHMK, the guy throw his cap "yuppie". I thought he's gonna shoot his cap with a colt. I couldn't believe the guy knew the so

I read a lot of reviews of ABB and what surprises me is the difference of appreciation among the so called "hard core fans". It won't be long is rated from 10/10, best song in 25 years to "a filler". Even Streets of love got his rates from 2/10 to 6.5/10 Imagine a work for an exam noted from 2 to 6!! It would be interesting to ask to everyone : keep only 12 songs, whi

Heard part of a boot from a London's show. Around 20 songs played in a 3-5 minuts format (no extended version). Jack Bruce has lost his strength in this voice. The sound was not very good too so i didn't buy.

I would add : courage BV, the ONOs, CindyStone and all the others who follow the band for most of the shows, may be 97 more and then it's finish.

Come on not the back, it's the palm for the fortune tellers. In anatomy, the palm is the anterior part and the back the posterior one.

I don't understand why Mick talks about his back (of the hand) instead of palm. What does he mean? English (or irish) spoken needed for this one Thank you.

At least, i could hear some seconds from Get up stand up. Mick doesn't sing the Tosh's part : we know and we understand that mighty god is a living man, you can fool some people sometimes but you can't fool all the people all the time (well said, isn't it, sweet neo con)

Nice to see the stage fitting perfectly with this kind of stadium (better than Boston).

It could but only for their last tour according one of my dream years ago. In my dream (from 1989-90), i was talking with Keith and asked for Lady Jane. His answer was clear : Lady Jane will be played for our last tour

I read somewhere (Shidoobee?) that before SMU, there was a big sound like an earthquake or helicopters above you. So we can conclude, for the opener a mix between Steel Wheels tour and BTB tour : the Big bang saw by the Stones? I use to give points to the set-lists : 10 points for a new song, 8 for one seen only once...until 1 point for a song seen more than 10 times. To give you an idea : O

BOBM : I would guess that Keith won't do two ballads in the same show, although he might. It could be The Worst will be for one show and Infamy for the other Boston show and he will throw in a rocker. Little T&A would be nice for a change, but I don't mind hearing Happy a hundred times. Infamy is not really a ballad, so expect Infamy and The worst for both shows. Sorry to insist

On the august 8 (look at BV report), the set-list was almost done. What's pathetic is to see 5 weeks rehearsing and finishing on something very predictable. So next time, 4 days for the 5 new songs and two more for the hits and basta... SFTD is the opener. ATPTB will replace Heartbreaker on tuesday and MMotel or WOAF for BOB. Keith will stay stuck to The worst until mid september then w

Yes! i saw that TV clip before and i didn't realise. You must be right and while Charlie will be front stage the others or Mick at least will be on the "B-stage" which is not a B-stage like the last tour but just a cat-walk and some squares to move around. The "B-stage" isn't enough large and too close to the "holy infield" to accept a drum kit. We'

Traffic is a good programme with musicians live. In June i saw Robert Plant doing 3 songs from his last CD. For the 15th, i imagine an interview from Toronto (extract last week) and may be the Stones live from the ABC TV.

RJ will not be the openner. Absolutly sure. Before the tour, during the club shows, they always hide the first song. So expect SFTD or HTW.
