Steven Tyler is a strong possibility, I think. All of the guests thus far have been pretty big. His star power would fit the pattern, and his whole image and style is so influenced by Mick, it would be pretty cool, I think. I am hoping it might be Steven.

I love the bit before the chorus where Mick gives Dave G the "two" sign, as if to say, "twice around before the chorus." Fun video!

I love the album. It is a strange mix, but I have always enjoyed this one a great deal. I Don't Know Why is such a great tune, my only complaint being this version should be about 3 minutes longer. I enjoy the rest of the tracks as well... Great stuff, imo.

A quick search yields mostly positive reviews indeed of Undercover. Well. Forget what I said about that in relation to a DW tour then.
Forum: Tell Me

Dandelion, I seem to recall mixed reviews. I loved Undercover, but remember reading some criticism... and then Mick dismissed it later on as "ok". It did not sell poorly, but it didn't do nearly as well as Tattoo You, so I think the band, or Mick anyway, did not see it as much of a success. Of course, we're talking 30 years ago, so my memory could be slightly off about this!
Forum: Tell Me

I have always wondered about this and I believe there have been multiple posts over the years speculating about the same thing. I suspect it would have been DW songs and rough versions of warhorses, as they were not happy with the response they got from Undercover and might have ignored those tunes. I think the Stones not touring after those two albums kept them from a sad sort of embarrassing

Wow, that is a fantastic photo. Taylor looks great, and love how all three guitarists appear to be right into it, having a blast.

Always wanted to play guitar like Richie Havens. Just heard he dies. Saw him perform two years ago.

- I think Undercover is one of their best efforts. - I have not listened to A Bigger Bang in at least 3 years. Maybe more. - I like 'Indian Girl.' - After 2005, I figured I would never bother to see the Stones live again. - I am going to see them in June. Twice. - I want the Stones to make a country album with fiddles and lap steels, etc., before they call it a day. - I woul

Let's keep our fingers crossed! For those still looking, I suspect these $85 seats are sold in spurts, so keep checking. Someone posted elsewhere they got $85 tix late in the afternoon on the last sale date (for the Western cities).
Forum: Tell Me

Mine are GA2 and GA4 for Wed and Fri, respectably. I would say we should not get hopes high of being on the floor. There are no sections listed as "GA" and the $85 tix, I was under the impression anyway, could be anywhere in the arena and we might not find out until the night of. Does anybody have more info on this?
Forum: Tell Me

I am so excited... Going to both shows, got a pair of $85 tix for each show. I am assuming the "GA2" and "GA4" sections listed are seats TBD, right? The $85 tix are scattered about the arena? If anyone knows more about this please inform, or direct me to another thread if it has already been discussed? So f---ing excited for this.

Same here. Nothing coming up. At all. For any number of seats.

Saw the show last night (in Lewiston, Maine). I completely understand about not being a fan of the live shows-- I had a good time, enjoyed myself, liked the re-arrangements (and love it when bands do that!) but this show was not for everyone. Duke was great, though! Played a strat at one point that was just beautiful sounding, a highlight for me (and I am more of a Tele fan myself). The band

Great setlist there for Melbourne. Thanks for posting.

Cool. I am going to see him in a couple weeks. Anyone seen a recent show? I hear he has been banging away at the piano a lot, and not playing a lot of tunes from 'Tempest.' Saw him in '99 and loved all the re-arranged classics.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this, bit I iust came across it. It is too bad this did not evolve into a more complete tune... I love it. Some of the funkiest Stones ever.
Forum: Tell Me

I use the term. '89 on. I loved every show I saw during this period (they are, unfortunately, the only shows I have been lucky enough to attend), but '89 was the beginning of a stage production and a choreographed Mick that simply is not like the band prior. Again, loved those shows dearly... but they were not the same gritty band as they were before. Different guitar sound, more polished per

Going to see Bob Dylan on April 10th. The show is only a couple blocks from where I work so I could not resist. Not sure how great the show will be, though.

I like Bob Dylan's 1975 Bootleg Series release. It was one of those sought after boots for a long time, and I love the official release. One of the best sounding live recordings ever. I also love most of our Stones live albums, but beyond those, this Dylan release is excellent. Also agree with the David Live re-issue mentioned above. Another gem is the re-issue of The Name Of This Band Is Ta
Forum: Tell Me

A lot of those brilliant Stones country tunes (DF, Country Honk, Dear Doctor, Far Away Eyes) had a satirical element to them, in a way that either made fun of or made light of the depressing themes of country music. I think the lyrics of DF tried to bring out that sort of darkly amusing aspect of rural Americana.

I'm not sure who would be the most appropriate drummer... I might have mispoken saying Jason isn't that great. He did a fine job at the O2, but no, he is not as brilliant as his father. I liked the drums in the UnLedded album, whoever that was... Maybe they wouldn't have to settle for just one person. They could choose who they want for specific songs. Even if it was just percussion. It coul

I love what Plant has done over the past decade. I'm not interested in another LZ reunion unless he, Page and Jones can be creative in a studio. I also would like them to use a different drummer than Jason. It was a fun tribute for the O2 show, but he's just not a great drummer, and I think the three of them would do better with their amazing talents and creativity if they were not particularl

Excellent advice, all. So great to have a worldwide resource of trusted music fans like iorr to seek advice from! I am going to look for the box. Amazon U.S. has it out of stock, but I will look into ordering it from my local shop nearby. If that ends up being too much, I like the 3 cd option Braincapers mentions...
