Quotelenoplaf Some more news from france : According to this post, the tour would start on May 2 in the US, RS would be playing Hyde Park Festival and a few more european festivals this summer As for the price of the tickets : expect between 500$ and 650$ Is it worth it ? For a reunion of the original line-up with Brian, Bill and Stu on piano I would pay that much.

Quoteflacnvinyl QuoteBlackHat The November 2012 O2 versions were great. The 02 stuff was better than the PPV version for sure, but I'll still take the 97/98 versions ANY day. Its all about the beat. 1997 - rocknroll (not rock, there is roll) 2012 - jazzy rock "It's all about the beat" - yes, sure, but the beat is hardly there in those 97/98 versions - and no swing at all.

Quotedrbryant QuoteGreen Lady The attendance limit for Hyde Park events these days is 65,000 - still a nice big figure though, provided the weather co-operates.

Sad, sad news...which gave me the same kind of "sick to my stomach"-feel as the news about Lennon's death some decades ago. It's as if someone takes a part of one's life away.

QuoteCocaine Eyes I already AM an insider. Hence, the question about 'why the negativity' to insiders! Because some carry large "Stones Insider!

Quotedrbryant Quoteretired_dogYou can bet that Jagger has a hard time when the band behind him does not sound up to par. Amidst all this money-generating machinery that the Stones became over the past decades, he still wants to "feel good" on stage. That's the only thing that counts in the very moment you are performing on stage. You want it to be perfect. The Stones work on many levels
