What I am impressed with is how much fun Taylor looks like he is having , especially when he does his bit of prancing around the stage. He has never done this at any show of his own I have seen and stood still for years with the Stones. And OMG during CYHMK we actually saw the Rolling Stones as a guitar driven group again. LOL and it looked a little tough on Mick to even put his ego into the back

I have been to theater shows, and actually up front for the Enmore and the Astoria during Licks, and have to say IMO, being at the rail this tour in the pit for the London shows blew those all away. If you get the chance and don't do it, let your friends line up and kick your butt all the way home from the show. The only thing that was better (is Linda lurking here to confirm?) was to be up fro

Besides what I posted before, I forgot Beast and I had drinks with Bobby Keys one night until a younger female came by and took the bar count from 3 to 4. Quick as a heart beat we lost his attention without so much as "later." no "bros before ho's" sentiment there!

I have been lucky enough to meet Bernard many times, Lisa a few, Tim Reis ( even have pictures of us drinking together) , and have been mistaken by Blondie in Milan for someoen else which led to an interesting conversation ) As for the big 4 I have actually met Ronnie several times, but to be honest most were very momentary encounters, an art gallery showing in Saint Petersburg of his works,

AEG has done the impossible and made us all miss Micheal Cohl. This flex pricing/. discounting is there Karma for the way that they did the bait and switch for the Hyde Park shows, selling Gold and Diamond Circles and delivering the wretched Tier 1 Tier 2 product.

One of her greatest achievements was keeping John alive for us until the nut case gunned him down. Without Yoko to distract, amuse, ground him, we would probably talk about John the way we do Jimi and Janis. John met her because she was already famous in her own right Not Beatles famous, but she had her own buzz going. In the 90's, I forget exactly who the idiot host was, but she gained m

At the O2 shows, there was a seperate line at the entrance for the pit. As you entered the main arena area you got the wristband, then it was a sprint up the escalator, into the arena proper, down a flight of stairs to the floor and across the length of the floor. Beast and I sat at a table having drinks not far from the arena entrance. About 30 minutes before the show the line started to grow an

Looking at all the rehearsed material, it's weird for me to realize that the only song worked on so far that I have NOT heard live is Moonlight Mile.

You are correct that there will be a small section in front of the stage that can be accessed by those with General Admission Tier 3 tickets. This will be the same as any other gig and will be available to anyone that arrives early enough and can run fast enough and are prepared to remain in that spot throughout the day. Wow , is it possible AEG or the Stones or Whoever has seen the light th

I understand tier 1 and 2 have a separate entrance. I get that supposedly we can get out of our pen, wonder around and come back, though I cannot find where that is confirmed. But now somewhere in all of this I have read, I think, a hint that we will have earlier access to that FOS area? How? Don't all gates open at the same time? Now if that is true, and nothing else works, then Tier 1 and 2
