I find it interesting...rather, irritating, that Streisand's people blame the ticket price on the orchestra. If you can't get an orchestra that lets your prices be reasonable? Tour without one. McCartney and the Stones both blame the prices on their screens and stages...so if it's a problem, tour without them. We don't *need* these huge setups. We need a couple of simple sc

You know, if they never play Paint It Black again, I wouldn't be the least bit upset. It's never really worked live, and lately it just sounds tired - it definitely doesn't want to be a warhorse.

Found this in Best Buy yesterday... thought I'd give it a go, I really liked 4 Flicks and while the content on this one isn't quite as nice, it still looked to be a good set. Zilker Park is obviously the highlight of the whole thing, loads of cameras, if you've ever seen a Hamish Hamilton directed concert film, you'll recognize his directing style immediately, although he s

I'd say a little over 50% of the 69-71 shows featured a busted guitar. Once he switched to Les Pauls in 72ish, he stopped smashing them, in part because a Les Paul is much harder to crack than an SG. The exception to that, of course, was the fourth MSG show in 1974, where between Keith and Pete, they smashed all of his guitars at the end. In the Schecter era, I think there were only on

On record and stage, '68-82 represents pretty much the definition of rock music. With the exception of Black and Blue, they didn't really misstep much during this time. And a long time it was, too. Following that, 94-99 was a pretty special time, Voodoo Lounge album and accompanying tour, Stripped and the club shows, B2B album and tour, and No Security. I really wouldn't hav

Stones, U2, REM, the Who, Crowded House, and Oasis are my personal favorite groups to collect shows from.

Ugh, Keith looks and sounds awful. On the upside, that was the best Start Me Up I've ever heard Ronnie do. Good stuff. T

Re: Mick coming out of the stage, they tried using the lift on NFA rather than Sympathy on the first few Voodoo Lounge shows and decided it worked better during Sympathy, and I agree. Seeing Mick just casually stroll on stage like he's anywhere in the world, and then THAT vocal line starts and suddenly it's a Stones gig. Classic. However, my favorite "modern times" open

I'm kinda in two minds about whether I want Saitama on there - on the one hand, it was an amazing performance, perhaps one of the top three or four of the tour that I've heard, but on the other hand, the setlist is almost exactly the same as Rio (Rio has YGMR, Get off of My Cloud, and Saitama has Sway and Paint it Black, but I think it's the same apart from those). Personally,

Try and remember, before you go blasting any groups fans as compulsive saddos, that you are posting on an internet fan forum. We all give up rights to make fun of other uberfans the minute we hit "post message." That said, Queen made some excellent records, along with having the most consistently brilliant live show of the late 70s-mid 80s. From 79-86, they were unequalled on stage.

I was always surprised Let Me Down Slow and Look What the Cat Dragged in never made it in the live show... you know, it's a shame they don't give their newer stuff a little more credit... they could make a killer show out of post DW material... Just imagine, if they were to do a few clubs to give the recent songs a last work out before they disappear into oblivion... 1. Rough Just

I don't mean to hijack someone elses request, but if you felt like posting the Passaic show I would be forever grateful... I'm a new convert to the Rolling Stones, and the only live things I've heard are YaYas, Flashpoint, Live Licks, and some early 70s show.... Brussels something or other. Anyway...
