Who's playing piano on Ronnies song? Nicky Hopkins or Ian Mclagan? First time I heard it, I thought it sounded like Stu.

Man, that's too tough Great quizz though. It's just that I appear to have little knowledge of the singles to get a respectable score.

I can imagine that everyone who was present at the Waldbühne last night will be glowing for the rest of the year from what they've experienced. Having been served with both All down the line AND Rocks Off, I would have been ready to die, if I would have been there.

Great! Thanks for posting

All that matters is that people who are present at a concert are having a great time. And that we had! They are not playing for Youtube or whatever online thingamogog. They are playing for the people who showed up to be part of the experience of joining in with The Greatest Rock 'n Roll Band of the World.

QuoteGreen Lady Matt Lee first as usual; Bitch Knowing that being there is way better than watching youtube videos, I am sure everybody present must have been blown away by this. It is awesome on youtube, it must have been terrific in real life.

I waited a couple of days to see what good memories I would carry with me from last weeks show in Amsterdam, for the rest of my life. 1. The moment Keith started his famous riff to Can't you hear me knocking. 2. Sacha's performance on Gimme Shelter 3. Mick resting his weary head on Keith' chest during Sweet Virginia 4. The French horn opening of You Can't always get wh

QuoteVoodooLounge13 Too many songs on Voodoo??? Do we rail about how many songs are on the fabled Exile!?!? Back in the day we woulda welcomed 100 songs from our boys. Now everything is too bloated or too long or not enough quality songs. For Voodoo, it’s an absolute masterpiece. The crown jewel of their cannon written by a group of men still with something to prove to the world - that they

hehe, Some smart fan remarked after Jumpin' Jack Flash was played, that this confirmed that The Stones made their best music when Mick Taylor was in the band. Some fan huh?
Forum: Tell Me

QuoteTheflyingDutchman Absolutely true. 75 pages already. I don' believe any Stones release reached that number.Aah, I must be getting too old and a bit sour.. To be honest: Blue and Lonesome made us fill 117 pages. And yes, even then some had to bring up Mick Taylor in the discussions. Whoever complains about The Stones repeating themselves: we as fans, are a poor example.

QuoteGasLightStreet Quoterollmops El Mocambo concert rocks hard but that 1997 one is pretty good too EL MOCAMBO and "pretty good" in Chicago 1997 does not equate. Huge difference. Bottom line: We loooove those small venues. They bring up the best in the band.

Lisa was and is absolutely great! Sweet memories of what she brought to the Stones and she certainly deserves to step out of whatever shadows back up singers and follow her own path. I hope she's very happy.

It could be my (poor boys) sound system, but Hot Stuff sounds great to me. Can hear every single note by every single instrument. Lots of space. Maybe it's not everybody's taste, but it's mighty mighty fine by my standards.

Bill had sudden memories of Mick's interaction with Ronnie at SNL. Might have been the moment he decided to call it a day.

Yeah, great. I love the version at Olympia Paris that ended up on Stripped also very much. It's one of those songs that make me happy every time. Stu is the driving force on the studio album, and in Wembley as well.

It's against my (football related) convictions to enter the Johan Cruijff Arena. I've made an exception in 2017 for the Stones. Sound was not as bad as I feared, but I promised myself it was a once in a lifetime experience. Good luck to those who will go, and I am sure you'll have fun. Me, I'll enjoy reliving great concerts from the past.

I have loved the Hampton show for as long as I know, but listening to Wembley on the Tattoo You Super Deluxe, I am especially pleased with the return of Bobby on sax. Ernie Watts (Hampton) might technically be a better player (not sure), but Bobby has a great way to add not too much to a song. Less is better, most of the times.
