Keith doesn't look enthusiastic at all answering this question about touring to support the new album. Of course, being a professional in this business for 60+ years, he exactly knows how to respond - so it was a diplomatic answer but not a one giving much hope... I think a few one-off shows would be an absolute best they could come up with. A whole tour (15 or more dates) - I cannot see it

Regarding bass parts on HD, back then Darryl Jones was unavailable to join for studio work due to previous commitments (I guess solo stuff or whatever), but from what I am aware, he participated at least on some recordings back in London last year so I expect to hear him significantly on majority of FT.

Flew in from Poland for night #2. Quite an experience seeing Slowhand in 1000 cap. local venue, where that sort of music truly shines. Obviously his playing is not as it used to be a decade or more ago, but he and the band still delivered the goods. Adding "Sheriff" was a nice touch although I would also keep "White Room" or any more Cream material in (nothing can beat Ginger

It is also worth adding that way over 30 copies of the single were sold on eBay for as much as $2500 (!!) , 13 copies on Discogs (average median of $1500) and there are still around a dozen copies for sale on eBay + Discogs. Some of them might be coming from flippers, but I guess several are being sold by industry people and store owners who kept a copy or two aside.

Quotebitusa2012How do “we know some record stores decided to keep a few for themselves”???? Have some record stores actually copped to this? Or are you assuming based on the fact that not all copies are accounted for on IORR? If you checked sales history on eBay and Discogs, it is pretty obvious that some of those who ended up on secondary market were coming from the stores, not flippers. Als

Unfortunately it is obvious that significant number of Cockroaches LPs ended up being handed under the table or went straight to secondary market. For example judging by numbers available in Poland (at least 81-92) and just 7 copies sold in store, it looks that at least 5 were distributed unofficially - one was shown by one of Polish music journalists few hours before on-sale date. Btw, I wond

Nice melancholic song but weird choice for a first single. It hits similar tones as "Now and Then". Considering Andrew Watt's involvement, I would rather expect some rocking tune as first single - unless they store it closer to release date.

Quotegeorgelicks They're not going to be competing for the number one spot on the charts, especially in the UK. A June 5th release date is the most logical; we'll have to see if they can meet that deadline with an announcement 45 days prior, around April 15th-20th. I don't see them releasing the album in the middle of the World Cup; everyone's attention will be focused on that

Sir Paul McCartney's new (and Andrew Watt-produced) album The Boys Of Dungeon Lane will be out on May 29. Likely means Stones album will not be out in similar time frame to avoid competition - there ain't room on the market for 2 big classic rock legacy releases at the same time.

Let's be honest, Ronnie didn't manage to sell out all UK shows on the last run in 2019 and considering high ticket price, it might be hard to sell all 3000 tickets momentarily. I guess based on demand more shows will be added throughout the summer - I can imagine cities like London, Paris or Barcelona getting a gig or two.

Metallica, who is rather a huge global live act, had trouble selling out 2 nights (with 2 completely different setlists) at Stade de France 2 years ago and packed maybe 96k out of 115k tickets available, roughly 83% of total capacity....

Now they will combine 28 shows from 2017-2018 into 3 month tour with maybe 18-20 dates tops. So for sure some of the markets will be down with number of dates - I don't expect more than 2-3 shows in either UK or Germany this time around.

Managed to grab a ticket to Saturday rehearsal. It was really a full-blown 2.5h show with production etc. The only difference is there was no elevated stage but rather all production was placed on the floor with just 1500 lucky ones in the stalls. The show is phenomenal and new songs gel well with classic Floyd material. David's voice might not be strong anymore, but with back-up singers (in

It kinda seems to me that Universal likely backed off from their initial commitment for 18-months marketing / promo activities for "Hackney Diamonds". I don't recall much label support since the "Live" version got released last December - no more singles, cancelled (?) documentary project and kinda lost momentum to keep the album fresh / spoken about. Any inside info why

Quoteschwonek I think the Stones could pull off a multiple nights tour - London, Berlin, Rome, Stockholm, Paris and 2-4 nights in the biggest places possible. But they don't want to - seems they still prefer the old-school way of touring and reaching as many citites / countries as possible, as opposed to limited residencies.
