The capacity of Hyde Park is now 65,000. Two years ago it was 70,000 but after last summer they have brought it down. The capacity for some shows has been as low as 45,000. Sad when you consider the crowds that assembled there for shows in the 70's or the 200,000+ for Live 8.

I saw him in London in 2004 and he was excellent. I'd like to see him again but have always avoided it in case it spoilt the memory of the first show. Bit silly on my part really.

Cream Baker (Sweet wine) Bruce (Sunshine of your love) and Clapton (Badge, alot afterwards) Ultimately the arrangement that we all come to know and love is down to the band as a collective unit, so doesn't that undermine the importance of the songwriter as an individual?

Coach and horses, Greek Street, Soho. It doesn't have a stones connection though so does it still count?

He was good when he does guest slots with the band. I wonder why he is brining in a replacement guitarist instead of giving Nils Lofgren a more prominent role?

I read somewhere else where it was suggested that he could be considered the first stones drummer. I don't remember where i read it but it mentioned that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones used to jam in the breaks of Alexis Korner's with the rythum section of his band. Deffinately was Ginger Baker on the drums and may have been Jack Bruce on bass. I need to look where i might have read

According to Ian Maclagan Ronnie Lane left the band as a result of Rod Stewart not letting him sing his own songs, that was the catalyst i think. Kenney Jones said something similar once, after RL left it was a matter of time. I think its a bit unfair that the blame is put on Rod Stewart or Ronnie Wood. It was a band of five so realistically it was down to each of them a bit. Also Rod Stewart as

As much as peopel slate there music, there live show is always fantastic. There ticket prices are always fairly resonable. They do have those expensive at the upper end but there are always decently priced tickets to. Even the most expensive tickets don't reach the Stones hights.

Why is someone a nutter for suggesting we shouldn't cull wild animals. There is still no proof of the spread of bovine TB.

I was there on Saturday. It was annoying but the boss did start 30 minutes late. I think the council went to far especially given that the whole evening was so quiet.

Didn't Mike Love disown his son after raising him because it turned out he wasn't the biological father. I'll stick with stones, as @#$%& up as they have been they never shit on their kids.

I remember being quite shocked and upset when his death was announced on the news. I had seen him with The Who at the end of January and he was brilliant. Funny to think a decade has passed by, shows how little or much we did with the time.

My sister had twins and the first time i went to see them we went to lunch with her inlaws in a nearby pub. Had too take loads of baby crap with us.

I bought a couple of really shit guitars off ebay a few years ago. They were all unknown (or now forgotten) makes. I did massive work on all of them which is why i bought them. I scalloped the neck on one, turned one into a lap steel. The only one that was properly junk was a shortscale bass which i took massive delight in smashing onstage at a wedding, don't think that was what the happy couple
