Since this thread is back on the main page, I'll just plug my band's gig for tonight. Although there are youtube videos available, I don't think I'm actually in any of them (band has been around in various formats since 2005+/-). The Doug Harris Band will be at Two Doors Down in Maryville, TN from 10p-2a EDT (118 E Broadway Ave, 37804). If you happen to be in the E. TN

In my mind, it all comes down to Ian Stewart, who, as an original Stone, was allowed to make decisions on his own. It was him that demanded and, as "road manager" most likely arranged for an acoustic piano to be on stage. I have a feeling that the band viewed it as "his instrument". Chuck is a hired keyboard player. He gets what he is allowed or allotted. If I had to

Sure... Everyone can keep a diary. The question is really, "Should Roadies PUBLISH their stories"? To that I say yes, if there are stories worth telling. Although not a roadie, one of my favorite "behind the scenes storytellers" was Gil Markle. His Diary of A Studio Owner blogsite is a treasure not just for Stones fans but music fans in general. Sadly, Gil passed away

Hate to see so many people having so many issues. More proof that there is little "rhyme or reason": I logged in two separate times 14 minutes apart on February 27 during the pre-sale and bought 1 ticket each time to the 5/22 London show. I received an e-mail with the SECOND ticket I purchased attached on March 9th. I received an e-mail with the FIRST ticket I purchased attached

Although I liked their music and would say I'm a fan, I only actually have a couple of their albums and the Greatest Hits. Somehow, back in the '80's I happened to be aware that Roger Hodgson was releasing a solo album "In The Eye Of The Storm". From the first moment I heard it, it's been one of my favorites and, to this day, I almost always have a copy on CD in th

Two things from this article I wish I could get clarification on... 1) "...two huge steel towers which will have to be lifted into St. Mary's stadium by crane." If the towers are being transported by truck, what stops them from being assembled inside the stadium? Possibly just this stadium's design? 2) "200 people on crew and seven tour busses" I guess it�
