I´ve been there, 1990 very soon after it opened. Food allright - not more. Service - normal. But there is a lot to watch and Bill has added a lot

The range of styles they played is impressive and it was mostly new material. +1 The 1972 tour set typically being: Brown Sugar Bitch Rocks Off Gimme Shelter Happy Tumbling Dice Love In Vain Sweet Virginia You Can't Always Get What You Want All Down the Line Midnight Rambler Bye Bye Johnny Rip This Joint J

QuoteDandelionPowderman QuotePietro I could be wrong, of course, but I think Kate Bush's "legend" only extends as far as the British Isles. I don't know anybody in America who cares for the gushiness, the silly clothes, or the pretentious videos. This is a British thing as far as I can tell. It’s like a singer from the Victorian era time-traveled to modern-day England and star

A as side information but interesting: wikipedia about Charlie & the 78 US-Tour: "The tour was the first in which Charlie Watts used the famous Gretch drum set that he continues to play with the Stones to this day, as well as his first employment of a china cymbal as a crash and dropping out his hi-hat when hitting the snare drum, two unique techniques that he continues to employ toda

What can I say: The 81/82 live version of course. This UMT proppelled me into my life. First time Stones live. 21 years young. Followed the band through Europe. When ever I heard it live, whenever I played and still play it in one of my DJ-Sets, it gives me a shot of power, selfconfidence and a "Hey world, are you ready for me?" attitude. A lifetime hymn.

Do someone of you have an idea where to get footage/pictures from the 78 US-Tour. Whenever I see one picture of this tour they look incredible good. Especially the outdoor-shows. Is there a book about this tour? Does somebody know who took pictures like these and where they were published? Please help. We in Europe missed that tour. Pitures like this can cure :-)

Talked once to a band member of Mick´s solo albums: Jeff Beck. Met him in "Nell´s" in New York in 1986. That time the club was very new. And 85% of guests was black. No one really noticed him. Jeff was sitting in the sofa of the basement lounge. I sat beside him. It took a little while but then I realized: I´m sitting beside Jeff Beck. So took all my courage (because I hearded

Bernard. June 29th, 2003, Barcelona. After the fantastic gig in the Olympia Stadium my friend Cordula, a very beautiful girl and me went to the Arts Hotel-Bar. There was Ronnie - for a few minutes. And there was Bernard, walking into the bar going straight to group of friends waiting for him and than he saw Cordula. His head was swinging around, looking at her, looking at us, coming over to us

Well, when we it comes to terms of strange things a fan can do I have to admit this story here: In 1987 I (German guy from Hamburg) visited my ex-girlfriend.
