QuoteStonesfan2146 The big question is if Mick will still save his voice or if the illness is totally healed. If he's still a bit under the weather we could think about Australia 2014 when Keith got 3 songs so Mick had a longer break. I'm wishing everyone a great time and one hell of a concert, and best wishes to Mick that he'll be okay tonight. I think Mick will

Mick was having vocal difficulty at Desert Trip last Friday, I guess it wasn't just the heat and dust that was affecting him. "It's like trying to sing inside a hair dryer" Sorry to all you Vegas-ers, but there's no lack of entertainment Wednesday night, either.
Forum: Tell Me

The band seemed willing, but Jagger's voice was affected by the dust and heat, and they couldn't fire on all cylinders. he let the backup singers finish lines in songs for him, as well as rely on them for the higher parts (more than usual). Did love Sweet Virginia (heard the soundcheck Thursday evening), and Live With Me was a welcome surprise - even if it got little reaction from th

Thought both Neil and Paul owned the weekend. Both pretty much as good as they can be for 2016. Saw Neil twice last year, as well as Paul in April. These shows eclipsed any of those. Absolutely electric.

There seem to be GA PIT tickets for both weekends available - but you gotta hover over that section on the reserved seating map to find 'em - not under 'General Admission'.

Not trying to troll here, but a fairly reliable source told me Page & Plant (not Zeppelin) will be playing in some form at Desert Trip weekend 2. If this seems implausible, consider that Plant is playing in LA at David Lynch's Disruption Festival Oct. 8 & 9. Jimmy is out promoting the new Zeppelin Complete BBC Sessions. I know some folks around here have been making seemingly l

I paid $750 for a seat to see 6 full sets by legendary bands at Desert Trip. Yeah, I know it's not as intimate, but compared to being close-ish in an arena for one Stones show for the same price, I'll take DT.

Plant loves to tease about it, but when the chips are down - it ain't happening. It's easy to take statements the wrong way in print, since, when talking LZ reunion, you can't tell if Plant has a sarcastic tone or smirk on his face. (I guess some people want to take sarcasm as 'truth')

I have the Japanese BluRay (1080p) and it runs normal speed (ie. the songs are in the right key - not sped up by a half step, like other PAL-sourced copies). The quality is so good you can actually see faces in the crowd at a distance. After years of washed-out VHS copies, it's like watching for the first time. Be nice if they included 'When the Whip Comes Down', the actua

QuoteRollin92 Why don't you try and speak with Bill? In Rich Cohen's new book 'The Sun the Moon and The Rolling Stones', he claims Mick told him The Stones went on late at Altamont because Bill missed the helicopter, and had to wait for a second one. I'd like to hear his reply to that.

QuoteRollingFreak Yeah, you nailed a lot of it 72hotrocks. The Stones will blow Bob away. I don't think they'll play a Sinatra set, but even with a rocking band I don't think Bob has it to "blow people away" anymore. You kinda just take it for what it is, as he is the weakest. The Stones, or Jagger at least, still cares about giving you a good show. The Young/McCartney

Gabriel's set lists are as predictable as The Stones'. Never plays old Genesis - or much before 1983 - for that matter.
