Let's see if they can pull it off without it being laughable. I'll give them credit, the trailer gives me more hope than when I first read about it. Its a hell of a lot for them to tackle, storywise, Timthoee singingwise, but so far it seems more positive than negative. I kinda can't believe Dylan was even amendable to be approached, let alone give notes for the thing.

Fair. I thought I heard that a group has to play there at least either 4 shows, or 2 weekends to even make it worth it for the venue. And obviously charge a good amount. So it just seems that would be difficult with the Stones. Like at best they do a Friday and a Sunday show, but then they'd stay for 3 weeks to do that? Doesn't seem worth their time, or the Sphere's. And a one off

Quotespikenyc It will be interesting to see how they do the Sphere for the Eagles. Scenes of deserts, highways, josuhua trees, horses and the Beverly Hills Hotel? An old friend of mine is insistent that the Stones will play the Sphere. He says Mick has already started the conversation with Azoff. I dont believe it, but you never know? I think the Eagles one will be pretty boring by compar

I literally just listened to this, and A Passion Play over the last two mornings on my drive into work. As a big early Jethro Tull fan, to me Thick represents the end of that great run. You had This Was, which was great blues rock, different than what they become. You had Benefit, which was good, though I've always thought uneven. Anchored by some few choice songs. You had Stand Up, a tru

Yeah, they do a reasonably famous cover of it. At least one of the more well known covers, especially considering it had to have been one of the first. I like a lot of Grand Funk Railroad but I never found their cover of it all that good.

Quotemidimannz I now recall on the Hyde Park concert video seeing a countdown clock behind Charlie’s drum riser. I always thought they went out and played the set and that’s it…. If Keith wants a long solo he’ll just take it. It appears to be more “programmed” than that. It’s not a criticism, just an observation Most of the bands at the Stones level are kinda clocking it in to the T. Thats f

Quotehockenheim95 It's awesome that Bob does this kind of releases but it's sad to see all The Band stuff is missing. This was an essential part of the show and I love them both equally. I would agree with this. Dylan with the Band backing him were on fire on this, but the Band were equally brilliant and I'd love to have seen, at least a few, of their sets as well.

Quotetreaclefingers I always carry earplugs for that "just in case it's too loud" scenario. Mercifully I haven't had to use them for the Stones the two times I've seen them this tour. They are doing the sound right. In general, the Stones are almost always playing outside too which helps. I can't think of the last outdoor show I saw that was "too loud"

QuoteDGA35 Quotecrholmstrom QuoteTornAndFried Roger Fisher was a fantastic guitarist. What was the reason he left the band? Was it over songwriting royalties? Or did he just get tired of touring?

QuoteDGA35 It was good to see the original band reunited for the RnR Hall of Fame induction a few years ago. Agreed, and they crushed it. Very professional and really rocked it. Sad, but unsurprising, it was very tense behind the scenes. If I remember correctly, they really had to twist Ann and Nancy's arms to get them to just do one song with them.

Quoteroryfaninva That original Heart band was something special. Ann's voice was and still is magically powerful. Nancy's guitar playing and energy has always been excellent, but the guy's backing them up were equally a huge part. Roger Fisher, as shown here, really is responsible for a lot of that sound. As is Steve and Mike in the rhythm section, and Howard Leese on keys and a
