There were Deaf Interpreters at the Ronnie side wing side of the stage. Mick never used that wing. There were several Deaf Interpreters changing. It waas great to see them working, dancing to the songs, whene there were no lyrics.

We arrived into New Orleans the day after the Houston show. It was a great seven hours drive, one hour queue due to roadwork, and half an hour stop to get gaz (petrol !!!) and Burger King fast food. With one of the safest and most reliable friends, and drivers there is, I felt safe in between lots of heavy traffic all day. I wish I had more time to do more roadtrips in America, we saw the swamps,

Just read the letter from Bill to the rest of the band, it is several pages and very detailed. Not a big drama. As matter of fact, not everyone do work in or for the same company all their life. It is possible to "build" a drama, sure Bill did have some comments about missing songwriter credits, like when he played "Melody", also when Bill played Glastonbury on Friday June

Posted above: "Wyman is a renegate" Oxford Languages "renegade" noun a person who deserts and betrays an organization, country, or set of principles. "an agent who later turns out to be a renegade" Bill Wyman did not "renegade" The Rolling Stones. He quit, or resigned, like you resign from a work or a company, to move on in life. His resignation

Road sign near the NRG Stadium, and the Merchandise Truck on the Green Parking Lot today Saturday April 27: The Tour Program is back, missing in the 2022 Tour in Europe. There are two different Tour Programs, one standard, one "hologram". They say the hologram is more pages, but I don't trust them. May be it is just a fancy front page?

The large rain dump forecast has moved from late afternoon into early afternoon Sunday, so hopefully the heavy rain will be over by the time most of the fans queue up to enter the NRG Dome.

Tim Ries will be touring with The Rolling Stones during their Hackney Diamonds Tour '24 in USA & Canada. Like in the past, Tim will be performing with his own band between Stones show dates, typically the day after the date of the Stones show in some cities. Charlie Watts loved to sit in with Tim at several of the Tim Ries shows, being a jazz fan himself. The Tim Ries shows were often

Quotegeorgie48 In Europe I (we) usually go "home" the day after the concert (unless there are more concerts in one town like in 2002/2003). My next four travels on this tour are 6h by car, 3h flight, 1h flight, and then 3h Las Vegas to Seattle flight, all direct. Even LA to Houston was a 3h flight. USA is so much larger than Europe, staying on the tour is easier than going "home

Tim Ries and Bernard Fowler will be doing shows the day after the Stones shows, in the same city. I have three shows confirmed and three pending. I will check out the details, and publish all confirmed Tim Ries shows soon. Personally, I like to move on, but the day after the show you are exhausted, if you can stay another night, sure it is better than moving on immediately.

The Rolling Stones are rehearsing at the NRG stadium in Houston Texas this week. Yesterday I could hear they did "Sad Sad Sad", among others, but I left. The NRG is a closed dome. Traffic noise in the area is just crazy, roads all over. Also, staff at the NRG ask me all the time why I am on a public sidewalk. I will not ruin the great experiences from LA, where studio staff were all fri

Midnight Rambler was reherased more than one night in Los Angeles. They have a whole new album to perform on this tour. Do not be surprised if the Houston show will be a bit different from the past tours, but they do still know how to do Rambler. It is just so many other songs to be performed, they all have to line up in the queue, and the crowds on this tour are the judges!

The trucks with the generators on high power at the side ramp, made it hard to listen to the music at the studio on Friday April 19, so the common crowd of 15-20 fans gathered at the front entrance. The last part of the set was more powerful, and easier to hear, even from the main entrance - Sympathy, GS, Sweet Sounds of Heaven, Satisfaction. During "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" Paul M

Thanks for your report Dan! That neighbor across the street with the Stones tongue T-shirt was truely a proof of how LA is working. Is there a dozen or so people hanging around at a studio?

A day at the rehearsals. This is from my notes last week, Thursday April 11: .... Whole Wide World (two takes) She's So Cold Let It Bleed (two takes) Can't You Hear Me Knocking (three takes) .... Just publishing a list of songs make no sense. One song from Hackney Diamons, works great every time they do it. Then a rarely played song, some of us will be lucky to hear it live

You might say that a Stones show is based on four - 4 - parts: The first part of the show, the Keith set, the second part, and the encore part. The Keith set is usually two songs, just after the introductions. If there is a "situation in the band", like Keith said on stage in Las Vegas 2016, he might do three songs, but usually he does two songs. More later. The first part is the

The rehearsals in Los Angeles have been far above any of my expectetions. I have been going to Stones rehearals since the 90's, for mainly two reasons. First of all I am restless and impossible as a family member once I know my favorite band is somewhere, and I am not there. Secondly I am of course interested in seeing them, and if possible, hearing what they do. In the "old days&quo

QuoteJMARCOU A long time ago I noticed that rehearsed songs are much more appealing than songs performed on stage. That is because they try out a lot, and some songs never work as they expect, so they just move on. The "final product" is looking great now, I don't think it could have been better. Houston will be great.
