Mamma Mia! I happen to be right at the moment in Positano. The pittoresque Amalfi Coast town in where Mick and Keith wrote this dark masterpiece. Odd to think them, Mick with harmonica and Keith with guitar, going through the song piece by piece in some of these cafes... The contrast is so huge! Anyway, if this town is pittoresque, it is damn touristique as well. Sutely it was different back t

Hmm... Treacle and R-Dog (doesn't that sound like a rap artist), you have a way lighter way to give stars than I do (of course, the context matters), but your thought experiments are interesting. I don't quite accept the 5/5 stars outcome, but I think what is important to notice is that the greatness, at least the potentiality of it, has been always there, no matter how much certain per

Thanks, Dan! Cool to see that most likely a brandnew cut makes the encore spot. If memory serves it has been ages when a new song is played close to the climax of the show. "Start Me Up" back in 1981/82? Historians, prove me wrong... - Doxa

QuoteRisingStone Apart from the HD songs, all familiar selections. Too early to whine about the setlist, I know, but it doesn’t look that promising. Predictably so, in a way. Sorry to be a buzz killer. What this list lacks is a deep cut or obscure song from the past, another Out Of Time. I almost mistook WILD HORSES as WARHORSES lol.

Good point, Dandie. Probably being analytical might give the impression of being objective, but it really means that one is good with words, that is, being good in expressing one views by taking a lot of things into consideration.
