That's quite a musical journey for them to end up playing Glastonbury and as said, what a way to say farewell to Live performances.

Very sad indeed, Mott and Bad Co. were both great bands. My special memory of Mick Ralphs was when he played at a friend's birthday party in Henley. My mate knew Mick's ex-wife and he happily agreed to come along and do the gig. It was held in a marquee in someone's garden from memory, quite an evening!

Hey Bob, really enjoying your Room 1009 Podcasts. Some great stories amongst the (obviously) great music. It is highlighting what a dedicated, adventurous and perhaps obsessive bunch us Stones fans are!

There were indeed several sound problems at the second RAH gig and Roger had to restart a couple of the songs, as has been widely reported. For him to say "all I can hear is the drums, etc" is surely more a fault of the amp levels/mixing desk/Roger's in ear monitor rather than Zak's playing. To say he wasn't happy with Zak's performance seems odd and to sack him seem

A treat for anyone in London coming up in November........ Fans can feast on unseen Rolling Stones pictures Photographs of The Rolling Stones that have been gathering dust for 40 years will form part of a new exhibition in London. The pictures, many of which have never been seen in public, were taken by Michael Joseph in 1968 for the Beggars Banquet album. The photo shoot took place

QuoteMonkeytonkman A little off topic, but I leave in just over a week to to see the Dead and Company play the Sphere in Vegas. Never a huge Dead fan, but when I was living in Canada, I became great friends with a dead head and he told me about travelling around north America in a van following the band. It left an impression on me, and I thought that when I returned to Europe, I was gonna buy

QuoteWelshEdge1 Quotemakustone I just found this... It says 4 shows in London. Is it fake? Rolling Stones will return to London for four huge gigs I guess there is just enough space for four in that gap from Copenhagen to Berlin but I think that's too much. Funnily enough, I was listening to Mark Goodier's breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 in the car this morning and he also said th

A mate of mine was sitting next to Ronnie at the O2 gig back in 2018. When Ronnie got up to 'leave' my mate said "where are ya going"? to which Ronnie replied "I'm on in a couple of songs time"! Can't argue with that...........

I went to a screening of Beatles '64 last night. It is well worth watching with plenty of previously unseen footage, shot by the Maysles brothers, not just of the band but also focussing more on the fans and how they reacted to all the Beatlemania craziness that was happening.

Hey Irix, many thanks for posting that link. It was great see the television coverage of the event. What a night it was! The logistics and technology behind linking up approximately 700 musicians across five different stages to synchronise together was remarkable.

It was not too long ago that one would associate an eighty-five year-old with the Second World War generation; now it's pop-stars from the 1960's. Time does indeed plough on. Quite agree
