Quoterebelhipi What a moment to be a Stones fan! Personally i dont mind not having Rambler on the set. Its been played at every show since 2012. It can rest for a while. If Keith was sick. What a trooper, didnt slow him down at all. Cant wait to see them in Chicago He didn't look sick to me. I think it is just part of the shorter setlist due to their age.

Quotefalo01 QuoteMusicwinn Hopefully, next time Keith will play the intro of "Start Me Up" correctly. This time, it went the way we feared. For me, the sound crew f'*&$d it up. Keith had to react fast to replay the first chord and it didn't come out perfectly. Pretty good reaction anyway. Funny thing is that many of us (including me) expected him to mess it up. But

QuoteMathijs I can only say for a band with the lead singer and guitarist are turning 81 this year: Fantastic show, with a quite nice set list! Mathijs I second this sentiment, Absolutely astonishing that they are still going. I remember the chat here during the Licks tour how it realistically should be their last tour given their age and over 20 years later they are still at it. I wacht

It's the Stones, not Mick & Keith, right? To be fair the only difference is Ronnie.

QuoteStonedRambler I actually think the mix is quite good this time compared to other releases. Not perfect but good. The guitars are a bit loud but maybe they just listened to all the folks here always complaining that the guitars are too quiet. I like it but gotta admit it brings out the sloppiness in the guitar section. Especially Keith is noodling around a lot. I don't mind it br

Did they sped up Hand of Fate? Sounds fast but I like it. What a beautiful song is No Expectations. This rendition doen't beat the Stripped one in my opinion but Jaggers voice is stunning on this one!

Quoteslewan QuoteWuudy Quoteslewan sounds much like Lou Reed in his later years. Thus not very original… Well, it is a cover so by definition not original. Same goes for their early work but doesn't mean it is not great to listen to. I ment 'not very original' in the sense that Keith doesn't add or change anything significant. He just does the song like Lou Reed used to do

How great is it that they have embraced the new streaming/youtube way of releasing music. For such a long time we asked for official releases of famous shows or outtakes. Now we have so many live shows, deluxe editions with outtakes and like this Lou Reed cover, just random releases of fun songs!

Quotesyrel There are rumours of maybe a show or two at the Vegas Sphere tacked on to the end of the tour, though nothing conclusive has been posted, and a post a page or two earlier suggested that doing just one or two shows there would be uneconomic. A couple of scattered mentions of Europe - perhaps Autumn 2024 or (surely more likely?) summer 2025, but nothing even to categorise as a solid rumo

Just had a look at the dates as it might coincide with a US trip. Unfortunately I'm not getting very excited about the size of the venues. All basically 60 thousand and over. Understandable as they want to maximize the profit given that there are relative high costs for these short tours. I haven't had the time to go through all the pages on this thread so does anone know if there are

video: Apologies if this is posted before, I couldn't find it. Just came across this on youtube and the comment section had people saying what a gem it was and were afraid it might be taken down soon. Great footage of Rock and a Hard Place and Mixed Emotions plus some casual chat in between. The first half hour is just them having dinner so probably not that entertaining to watch

I love Hackney Diamonds but Bridges to Babylon has a more Stones album feel for me as spent so much time listening to it in '97. Every day on the train with my discman. The BtB tour was also my first so I'll probably go with that one. Voodoo Lounge is the other contender for me. To be honest I won't be dissapointed with any of these 3

If not, she's gotta come up to my place and take me out for dinner at a restaurant of my choice. I think it's a safe bet. If you lose, you're out by a couple of thousand dollars; if you win, she's out by - what

I reckon they will, if they can, tour Europe after the US. Probably next year but who know, maybe later in the year. They might work on the new album at stages but will hold on to it until they toured at least the US and EU before they will release it.

QuoteTurner68 A reasonable document of the tour, the studio songs are embarrassing and unfortunately foreshadowed what was to come. Not a fan of Voodoo Lounge and B2B then? I find those records very different from the two songs on Flashpoint.

QuoteJbeckerfan He is not credited on the album and was not present for the kickoff in NYC. Is he out of the band again like during Bridges to Babylon? Chuck was on the B2B tour or do you mean the album? Mick has praised him over the years, even saying that without him there wouldn't be the Stones any more. I imagine that it is probably because of personal reasons.

Nice song, strong singing from Keith. Odd ending though, quite abrupt.

Fine song but a "filler" IMO but that's only relative to the whole album. When this is a "filler" it means it is a very strong album.

QuotePaintMonkeyManBlack This song makes me crazy. It's beautiful but it reminds me of another song and I don't know which one. I'm only listening to it now for the first time and 1 minute in but I had the same feeling. Maybe the feel of Far Away Eyes?
