Anyone have a prediction for ticket prices for the Vegas residency? Will Bono and co. demand that the purchased tickets are non-transferable as a goodwill gesture to their denizens of loyal followers in order to keep prices reasonable?

The full band live version of Youngstown is pretty great, yes. I had forgotten about Ghost of Tom Joad. It is a strong record, and likely his best effort since Tunnel of Love. Like I said earlier, outside of 4 strong tracks, I thought the Rising was overrated. It was interesting and appropriate that the Boss would craft a direct response to 9/11, but overall the LP is weighted down by som

Take this from a guy whose handle is "JimmyTheSaint". Bruce lost “it” as a songwriter after Tunnel of Love, IMO. A few decent songs here and there since, while he retained his skills as a performer and entertainer. The live shows with E Street have remained strong. For comparisons sake I believe that post 1987 Tom Petty proved to be the better songwriter of the two, which is surp

I've had the pleasure of seeing E Street live a dozen times. Been there, done that. On a related note, my wife has been trying to secure tickets for Harry Styles with no luck whatsoever. Astronomical pricing.

I went to over 150 concerts between 1989 - 2019. Was already slowing down in 2019, as I only took in 4 shows the entire year. I have pretty much decided to retire from attending live concerts. I've seen pretty much everyone I needed to see, including the Stones, Dylan and Springsteen double digit times. Was lucky enough to catch John Prine, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Jerry Garcia Band and Ri

But it was a specific five who would cement Hawkins's reputation in music lore as an elder statesman. Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson eventually left Hawkins en masse for the United States. They backed Bob Dylan and then made their own mark as the Band, with critically hailed albums and hits such as The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, Up on Crip

I like and admire Peter Wolf and have seen him both as a headliner and an opener in the last decade or so. Having said that, J Geils band simply doesn't have the songs to be considered America's Rolling Stones. Neither does Aerosmith, nor the Black Crowes. To be fair, the Rolling Stones have no parallel. The Faces might be their closest match and they do rock and I like them, ye

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. However, the 'singing drummer', never looks quite 'right' to me. There's something almost comical about it. I'm thinking of the goofiness of Rin

Had a couple good nights in there a few years ago. I liked the club, good music, lots of partiers. I was disappointed that there wasn't more Stones music in the rotation. One of the nights I was there they played lots of funk, Bowie and even some Steely Dan but only a couple Stones numbers.

Would Emotional Rescue or Undercover be considered for deluxe versions? Or IORR and Black & Blue, for that matter.

I think so. It's not the Stones without Charlie, IMO. They should bill themselves as Jagger/Richards if they want to go forward together. Jagger would have no difficulty putting together an all-star band to back him on a solo tour while Keith has the Winos if they both feel the need to perform.

Sirius did have a dedicated RS channel. At some point it went away. Possibly when it became SiriusXM? The Stones should have their own station. As should Bob Dylan and Neil Young.

Still not a word of these allegations in the New York Times, print or digital. The NY Times legal beat would likely know plenty about the two lawyers involved on behalf of the plaintiff and I'm guessing that based on the sordid pasts of both attorneys the editors are skeptical about what has been alleged. As suggested earlier, this was a very active and highly scrutinized period of Dyl

Heylin Weighs In “It’s not possible. Dylan was touring England during that time, and was in Los Angeles for two of those weeks, plus a day or two at Woodstock,” in upstate New York, Heylin told HuffPost. “The tour was 10 days, but Bob flew into London on April 26 and arrived back in New York on June 3.” “If Dylan was in New York in mid-April, it was for no more than a day or two,” he added.
