QuoteJalfstra I can't help feeling that this is just another way of taking the money out of the fans' pockets. Soon you will be able to buy canned farts from the band members. But if then again.. If it makes people happy to spend their hard-earned money on it, who am I? It's called the market and the Stones didn't invent it. People are then free to buy or not buy and

QuoteTheflyingDutchman Ron Wood is one of the few musicians proving that life is unbearable without humour. His musical skills are a matter of taste. It's his essence... don't take yourself too seriously, it's no coincidence that history has it that he was the author together with Jagger of IORR, which is also the name of this site. I also like how he plays... I really like his

I found this burning version by Black Limousine, its Zemaitis sounds amazing!!! ...by the way...if you are interested in Ronnie's guitars, here is an overview of his guitars.

A few words about this tour, the band seems to really play well, especially the last concerts, for me the setlist is fine. SMU at the opening is fine, I think it doesn't hesitate to be a more suitable song, although I would like them to surprise us like they did in 94/95 with NFA, it was a welcome surprise and in my opinion it worked very well with all the stage effects of the time .

QuoteDoxa QuoteSwayed1967 Both Out Of Tears and Laugh are well-crafted ballads, that’s for sure. I almost wanna cry when I hear them. It’s disappointing when your favorite artist pours his heart out into a song – I mean it’s clear that Mick gave 150% for both Out Of Tears and Laugh – and yet the end result is a generic and underwhelming listening experience. Good songs that could’ve been wri

If you mean this Zemaitis, if I'm not mistaken Ronnie also played it on this tour on at least one song. However he rarely uses it... I love this guitar!

There have always been different schools of thought about live shows, for some it should be faithful to the live recording, for others it is more important that it conveys the live atmosphere, but not necessarily the rest, if the band makes a mistake in the concert it goes away, in a recording comes back every listen, which is annoying. At the time recording techniques were not like today, it wa

I would like to say something that may seem banal... but when the Stones get on stage they are real, authentic and above all they convey that sense of fun that other bands don't convey. They experience their mistakes and limits with fun and carefreeness. Many rock bands and artists should take them as an example.

Quotejosepi Keyboard has been doing the main driving guitar riff in Whole Wide World. Watch the fingers, then listen to the pregnant pause at 1:29. Chuck (or Matt) didn't do the riff, but a guitar can clearly be heard playing the wrong chord(s). Other than that, I have no problem with keys lifting some of the weight. Stones sounding great on HD tour. The only problem here is gravity!>&l

Excellent live, I had the CD but it had a metallic sound, this is good! There's also that little masterpiece that is Breathe on Me...I think this is superior to a lot of things by the Stones or Bob Dylan, fantastic lyrics and great melody. Great Ronnie!!!
Forum: Tell Me

I think it is physiological that tours like those of that period with many dates, have some concerts and they are not sold out, especially because they were the first tours with quite expensive tickets. I remember many people who couldn't afford it, were outside the stadium hoping to find cheap unsold tickets.
Forum: Tell Me

I don't know, but I remember that the VLtour didn't have any dates in Italy, so I went to see them in Basel Switzerland, the first date was sold out, but I found tickets for the second date and it was the best Stones concert I've seen, with some songs they had never played live like shine a light and others. It was fantastic!!!
