Quotebobo I also like ABB a lot, but can’t stand the two Keith songs. Extremely weak an almost an offence to spoil minutes to them during a show. Have to agree with you, I once saw a live clip of Infamy and for some reason expected Mick to be out there with the harp but of course he wasn't

...that the song went on too long already. It's hilarious, they're going on high octane but Keith doesn't really bother about any particular lyrics. You hear Lisa trying a shy attempt to get him back on track and when that actually seems to work, Charlie approvingly raises an eyebrow in her direction. Keith however almost instantly continues into his mumbo and looking at Charlie cl

Quotecrholmstrom QuoteNikkei "Levelling The Land" is an album that feels like a best-of but you gotta be into the Levellers I guess Love the Levellers. Sadly they never made much of a splash in the states. Great to know I'm not alone! Perhaps they were just too topical for the record company to give them a chance internationally...

Even if it was marked as OT the topic would meet certain "too far out" criteria. Was Mick knighted for showing proof of being a good person?

The Stones are close to Streisand territory, no nuances there, but I figure a lot of bands learn a lesson about their fan demographic by way of pricing errors

QuoteNashvilleBlues QuoteNikkei QuoteNashvilleBlues Economics 101. Supply and demand. Except that it's not. When even John Oliver reports on the scam that's equivalent to the sparrows shouting it from the rooftops Are you saying that if people didn't buy tickets/records at such prices, they wouldn't drop the prices? C'mon now. It may be a bit more nuanced than simple
Forum: Tell Me

The conundrum actually is that with an honest supply-and-demand setup you'd likely have much pricier tickets than with the model they currently perpetrate

This is way too close to the first Hyde Park show in 2013, even down to havin HTW way too early in the set. They ain't gonna open with Last Time because they still consider themselves to be the Stones

QuoteIrix Quotehockenheim95 What's the advantage of hearing Wembley 82 on CD than hearing it on Spotify? Sound quality, because Spotify is vastly data-compressed (lossy)? didn't even think of that because of the wild quality variety of the bootleg world but yeah

Very weird: some dude on twitter just confronted me and basically everyone who wished Mick a nice holiday with the link to a clip that alleges similarities between LIAGT and a song from 2008. My initial assessment is that the key is the same and the groove is similar. In my opinion it sort of sucks and becomes less similar as it goes on. The guy from the other band also plays a harp, wonder where
