Of the shows I saw probably Levon Helm. Not his fault, saw him in Arkansas and he had lost his voice a few days before the show. He couldn't sing or say anything that night. The Governor of Arkansas even presented him with an award and he couldn't even say thank you (but he was definately appreciative). Missed his voice dearly that night - hoping to see him again for redemptio

David Gilmour replacing Sid Barrett. Don't get me wrong - Sid was more of a lyrical genius than David - but Sid's future was bleak - even if he had continued with the band. And luckily - Roger was then able to create some great lyrics himself.

They buy from brokers who have the seats and charge the consumer up to 100% more than the original broker. If you need to buy from a secondary ticket source, the best bet is to find a local broker who

Before you get your hopes up.... The "millions they have been offered to do a series of shows" is more likely just a series of private dates (ala Deutsche Bank style), paid for by the financial services giants (banks, investment firms, insurance companies, etc..) before they accept government funds to "bail" them out, at which time they'll no longer be allowed to spend

If Jimmy calls the touring band Led Zeppelin it will only be for the money. It would be better if he called it Zoso or something other than Led Zeppelin but ticket sales might suffer as a result.

Quotebaxlap It would seem that the Stones' philosophy about touring in a down economic market was summed up 30 years ago: "When the sh-t hits the fan, I'll be sitting on the can."

Every band should play some obscure or lesser played cuts if for no other reason than to expose even the casual fan to other material they may have not heard before. By doing that, the casual fan may buy an album, explore other unfamilar songs by the band, or simply gain a greater appreciation for the band. The best personal example I have for this is back in 1989 the Stones played 2,000 Li

"I don't know if the Rolling Stones would have used auto-tuning on "Paint it Black" if it had been available to them. After all, they recorded it in 1966, when your options for making a song sound better were limited to recording it again and hoping you didn't screw up as bad the second time." Did the Stones use auto-tuning while recording ABB? You could also m

Don't get me wrong - I was at the show - but Ronnie was MIA He was on the t-shirts, programs, etc... added to the show only about 2-3 weeks before the concert - after Pete Townshend dropped out. I think Pete dropped out after the show was rescheduled.
