hey kids, stop your squabbling. get over here and watch uncle buddy do
his promo for the pbs broascast tonite!

I think even superrevvy will admit that when he's become the 'voice of reason' on this board, we've become a little dysfunctional.

me be allowed to do my thang, that is all i can ask. without being slandered
as mister alcohol and drugs and stupidness. have my faults, but the inability
to love is not one of them. blessings.

I enjoy your rants'n'raves senor superrevvy!

well, with gazza on an apparent trip to seek truth, justice and the stonesian way...we do have an opening....up for grabs...

...and I would've nominated Rolling Hansie to the interim role, but I hear/read he's a bit of a stalker!

See ? That's how those silly rumours get started.

I LOVE THOSE LOL'S!!!

But not for myself mind you...it's very 1990's. By the sounds of it then, you might in fact like to be considered for the 'Voice of Reason' post temporarily left vacant by Gazza.

I will confer with StonesTod and we'll put it to the bored this afternoon.

TTFN!

Is no one as freaked out as I am that the 'Richards' thread is gaining on the 'Jagger' thread in terms of absolute views?

I think it's time for these sticky's to come down before Keith digitally eviscerate's Mick! OK, I think there may be a joke buried in there somewhere.

some great pictures here, excl. quality

except when it comes to the future of the stones, keith richards is the whole story...

nonetheless, tonite's pbs broadcast should turn the spotlight back on mick bigtime

I haven't seen the PBS broadcast yet. No reviews from anybody here?

Haven't been able to watch it yet. All the links I click, I get the message "We're sorry, but this video is not available in your region due to rights districtions".

Keep On Rolling

yeah but how about all the IORRaquis in the USA?

the whitehouse has uploaded this behind the scenes vid, which i havent had
a chance to watch yet...

as announced, mick tweeted very short answers to a bunch of questions during
the broadcast. no questions about the stones made it through and as for the one
question that mentioned superheavy, the superheavy part of the question was
ignored. he singled out buddy and the drummer Narada Michael Walden for praise,
and said him and Jeff had had very little time to rehearse "commit a crime",
a song that neither one of them had played before. all the tweets are here:

(feel free to make a seperate thread, i'm not knowlegable enough to say)

Louisiana Red dies at 79; Alabama-born slide guitarist found success in Germany

Red died Saturday at a hospital in Germany, just a few nights after the
president and his wife had hosted B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger
and others at the White House for a celebration of the blues.

He would return to the United States periodically for tours, and in 2009, one of
the first things he did after again setting foot on his home turf was to send a
copy of his latest album to the country's first African American president, Barack Obama.


He landed a deal with Chicago's influential Chess Records after playing a song
over the phone for label co-owner Phil Chess, who sent him a bus ticket for
Chicago. The man who picked Red up at the station to drive him to meet Chess was
Muddy Waters, who was to become one of the label's biggest stars.

Waters and some of his band mates, including harmonica player Little Walter and
guitarist Jimmy Rogers, played on some of Red's recordings, and he appeared on
records by other blues artists including Waters and John Lee Hooker.

"He's kind of one of the originators," Kim Wilson, singer and harmonica player
for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, said Monday. "His career took off in the '60s,
and he had a little bit more of a modern sound than Muddy and the guys from the
'50s. He was a real pivotal guy for people like me, and he was a very, very
good songwriter.

"He's a blues guy, a real blues guy — not one of these guys who call themselves
blues people. That's an important distinction," Wilson said. "When guys like
that leave the planet, quality control goes out the window."

Odd to see Jeff Beck arms and shoulders covered. He looks like Roy Orbison.

I think Mick needs to reign in his onstage antics a little bit.
Watching him point, squirm, shimmy, and pose seems a little bit awkward for an old man like him.
Sure, he can still do it (somewhat), but it all looks forced and unnatural.

Well,everybody here knows how greatly I admire Jagger ( "awe "should work too. ) but I must say I don't totally disagree .

the stream is apparently working now, even here outside of the united states

As much as I admire the spark and gutsiness of Proudmary I must say she's off limits here. To accuse Rolling Hansie of being a stalker is simply preposterous.

yeah! but to accuse revvy of the exact same thing, no problem.

LOL superrevvy .
You put a smile on my face with that one .

I have a request ,though.
Doesn't your keyboard have a shift key or is it just a litle failure from you ?
No offense meant of course.

I agree. The first song was too much, over the top, but the rest, specially Commit a Crime, was great. I don´t know about Miss You, I don´t dare to watch it.

At your request, I'll try to be more conventional in my use of capitalization,
especially when I am pretending to write coherently. But when I am pretending
to write incoherently, all bets are off.

Gary Clark Jr was great.

Gary Clark Jr was great.

I was very impressed with that young cat (I'm trying to bring that word back into vogue, bear with me please), especially his tone. How does he do that? One can imagine Jack White just writhing with envy.

I enjoyed the whole show last night. Like at least one other person said, never seen Jagger so out of breath. He could sing, but his speaking was an effort - isn't that odd? The only mildly negative thing I'll say is yeah, he could have dialed it down a bit - his gestures & such came off as exaggerated. But it's perfectly understandable, he was doing his arena act in a small room.

It was nice to see a young black blues guitarist play with some funk (Gary Clark). They all seemed to be a little peeved, including Buddy Guy, at how fantastic and fluid Jeff Beck was. Beck almost seemed to be holding back from overpowering the rest of them.

Mick seems out of shape on stage. Yes, he is older, a bit more decrepit. I'm sure he'll get better with some concerts under his belt. Ronnie, Charlie, and Bill (if he decides to join) are in much better stage shape than Mick or Keith. Miss You wasn't bad. It looked like Mick was having trouble with his own lyrics. Above it all you could see that he was in control and a genuine bluesman. Maybe he didn't pick cotton in Mississippi, but he sure learned the musical blues form. It's really sad that Brian Jones flew apart. It was his love and knowledge of the blues that informed the early Stones.

Mick spoke of blues singers who are no longer with us, then did
MY. Wonder if it was like, we "miss you" being around ?
