Seriously, I'm laughing out loud! Who on this planet would care in the least what Joan Collins thinks?? Joan, go back to sleep and bless us again in another 20 tears with your relevant insights.

Good grief, Iggy looks like one of those mummified Pharaohs that have been found in Egypt, with the leathery skin of 3 thousand year-old corpse! Good for him that he is still performing, but he looks and sounds ridiculous. Something wrong with a bare chested 70 year-old man talking like an adolescent.

jmd, thank you for painting a word picture and describing the show. This setlist, with MT, is nothing short of epic. On this board, we have been talking about this for years, and now the Stones bring it in big way. Wow, I am really envious of all who were at this historic event.

OT: remember when Steve Martin was funny and clever? He should have stuck with comedy, his greatest strength. Who can forget King Tut??

I am a Stones fan and I like him. Saw him with EC at RAH, with Derek Trucks. He has a great pedigree.

If this board allows anyone to post, then by default people here should expect complaints.

Not since 1969. Only weed, so I do remember most of the show. My worst was the same year, seeing Fleetwood Mac, the original line-up, and having to lay down and then fell asleep for a while.

QuoteTheBadRabbit I got my first copy of Ya Yas as a Christmas present from my mom in 1970. All these years later I still get goose-bumps listening to it, especially the build-up on Side 2 to a pummelling version of SFM. Holy crap. So cool I can hardly stand it. Well stated. THis album still has a "goose-bump" effect on me too. I have to say that it is the most listened-to album of my

I recently bought the DVD "Soul Power", the documentary of the music festival surrounding the Ali/Foreman fight in Zaire in 1974. Some fantastic music by BB King, James Brown (headliner), and more. Very cool and entertaining behind the scenes stuff.
Forum: Tell Me

I never tire of listening to it. For me, it takes me back to seeing them on that tour, and when I hear the album cuts, I can visualize them on stage. What a brilliant show, a brilliant slice of the Stones' history. Not a weak song on that album. My only complaint is Mick's vocal overdubs on Street Fighting Man, but that is not a big deal to me.
Forum: Tell Me

Great pics and reviews. Thanks to all!
Forum: Tell Me

Shows like this are akin to baseball spring training: it is all about seeing what works, what doesn't, tweaking, adjusting, and getting ready for the official season (tour), not knowing the final line-up until day of game. So, it looks to me like that is what they were doing tonight. THe setlist for opening night may be much different than this, and may well not have YGMR as opening number.

QuoteThe Sicilian QuoteDaveG I think they are doing precisely what many of the "has-been" groups from the '60's and '70's are doing, just on a larger scale. I just read that Three Dog Night will be playing in my area, at a pretty small venue. They will play their hits, with a few more songs thrown in. Do people want to hear the new or more unfamiliar stuff? No, they are probably going t
Forum: Tell Me

That's right: they'll get paid whether or not the venues are full. I think the "50 and Counting" conjures up images of them counting their take from the shows! Though they have performed at benefits and have done free shows in the past, I don't think it is in their DNA to take a reduction or to lower ticket prices.

Well. I was more than willing to pay $6.50 back then (also saw Cream at the Forum for $5.50) but quite unwilling to pay $650.00 for a seat now.
