If they tour Europe next year, I think a stop in Switzerland is a safe bet as they always try to make up for cancelled shows. The Swiss promoter said something along the lines of „Mick promised it to me“…

I think we can be very proud of our band! What started out little worrying to me seems to have turned into the best tour of the last few years! (don't need no powerage comment under this compliment )
Forum: Tell Me

You can definetly tell by phone video if they are playing well. However the atmosphere and overall energy is part of the concert being perceived as good or not and that can only be judged by being at the show. Even a show where they are not playing that well can create lasting magic memories.
Forum: Tell Me

Just a reminder that they did two tour debuts at the last show of the tour in 2022 and they were both not part of the vote: All Down The Line and Fool to Cry. So I guess anything can happen within the rehearsed song list in the last shows.

To be fair, I think Ronnie plays Shattered differently now because Keith doesn‘t/can‘t do the fast chugging anymore (he does the riff stroking up and down) and has missed the bridge sometimes on recenet tours (not this one though). So Ronnie plays the riff with Keith instead of that great counterline and in the bridge he just playes the first solo notes and then moves on to the chords instead of

In 2022, a lot of my favorite young bands were played over the PA: Altin Gün, Nu Genea, Sault...they played more than one tune by each band. Give them a listen! Those were the names I wrote down in the thread we had for the Sixties Tour: Free - Sault (was my favorite song for a while) another song by Sault, don‘t remember the name You ain‘t the problem - Michael Kiwanuka One More Night - M

I‘m sad for the Swiss…in my view they played the better tournament than England and would have deserved to reach the semi finals for the first time.

Quotekeefriffhards QuoteChristopher What great weather for the concert! Hoping to hear Live With Me. Sure hope we get Rambler again. Ready for Heaven again. Hope they haven't dropped it from the set list. Maybe Chanel was too much on this song. She seemed to overpower Mick and not collaborate. Although I am Happy with the 3 Keith songs, no pun intended.

QuoteTestify ...It seems like a surreal discussion...but do you think Ronnie and the others don't know what key the songs are playing in? Really ? Those are the keys they use in concerts. No, some of the keys on the setlist are just wrong and not the key that they are actually playing in concert. But, yeah, I don‘t know who actually uses the key indications because I can‘t imagine Ronnie o
Forum: Tell Me

The guitars are tuned down a half step for Angry (and I think for WWW too). So while it looks like they are playing it in B, the key is actually Bb. Emotional Rescue would be a song in A# or Bb, I‘m sure there are others as well…

QuoteGasLightStreet QuoteMonkeyMan2000 I'm amazed how these key indications behind the songs never seem to lead to problems. Some of them are just plain wrong haha Isn't Angry in B? Otherwise they all look right. They play Angry in Bb, so that‘s true. Mess It Up is in D. Let‘s Spend the Night is G major, Little T&A would be F or Dm and Tell Me Straight is in G. With these two

QuoteSoulSurvivor1990 The 2017 tour as a whole was underwhelming. Zurich being the best isn't saying much, but it's the most well played show and probably the best set list of the tour. Keith did his best playing of the tour at that show. IMO, there were way better shows in 2017 at the end of the tour. Out of the 11 shows I saw that tour (including Zurich), Arnhem and Paris II were ea

Out of the 27 shows I saw since I became a fan in 2014, the performances of Street Fighting Man at the end of the No Filter tour 2017, especially those in Paris, belong to the most transcendental experiences I've had with the band. As they played the song in the last part of the show, they drew it out and took it to higher heights. While it was a great opener in 2018 and 2022, the song never

I don't know where you guys are going with this. I can just speak for myself and I have to say that I really really liked Sasha and think that Chanel's delivery is kitsch ("kitsch" as in: let's make it clear even to the most emotionally blind that it's a song about RAAAAPEEE and MUUUURDEEER). Some people like musicals... But yeah, she's just a few shows in an
Forum: Tell Me

Yesterday I watched a few clips of Gimme Sehlter with Sasha and I have to say it was so much more musical and haunting. IMO Chanel doesn't bring the gravitas the song demands in her over-the-top performances. At points she even seems to lack respect for the song. Sounds harsh but that's just my opinion.
Forum: Tell Me

I'm just at home watching videos. But I'm pleasantly surprised that the two years since Berlin didn't make a difference in their performance! Not much rust to be dusted off here. Mick surely will get more comfortable with the new tunes as the shows progress (except SSOH which was already fantastic) and maybe Keith will put a bit more balls into his playing on Mess it Up. BTW
Forum: Tell Me

Quotekeefriffhards QuoteMonkeyMan2000 Mess it Up and Angry are really unforgiving to sing... Did you really expect Mick to sound like he does on the album. I was just saying those melodies are really quiet hard to sing and they are in a higher registered compared to most other tunes. Mick can surely sing them perfectly well if singing was all he has to do.

I think it's good that they dropped some of the warhorses. Midnight Rambler isn't really a very known tune to the general public and the die-hards always compare it to their favorite version. So, not much to loose dropping this one. (I think the decision that they dropped IORR a few tours ago was much more surprising) I'd love to see SFM being in rotation with Paint it Black. An
Forum: Tell Me

Keith actually revived the Gimme Shelter intro on the 2021 tour by playing it in the position he had used on the Winos Tour, for example. He did it sitting down at most shows, if I recall right, really concetrating on nailing it. Some nights it was so good, I thought it was prerecorded. On the 2022 tour he let it fade again a bit. So it's a good sign that they rehearse it properly!

Our band "Kalpetrane" has just released a new single today. It's called Disco! Here's a live video of us playing the tune. The only Stones connection is that I'm playing a Gibson L-5S, like the one Keith and Ronnie used at the end of the 80's. It's one of the best guitars I've ever played! Hope you some of you enjoy it
