I love the internet: within two days you can listen to a show all over the world in quite good quality! And, even better, the Stones sound quite good too! Finally the tempo's aren't dragging as they did in 94 and 97, it seems to rock more now.
But what's with the crowd in the Fleet center? They seem to discuss daily life, children, education and politics, but listening to the Stones doesn't seem to enter their minds! There's even some idiot making some really weird sounds like he's choking himself...and the endless shouts to "sit down"...don't they understand it is a R&R show and you have to DANCE?

Ech! Hog-tie 'em and pitch 'em out! ONE, SINGLE, shout directed at my ears to "sit down" and I will go nutsy, I'm pumped up on meds so I wouldn't test the waters! I'm mid floor for the arenas, so I doubt many, if any, will sit. |

Some poor sap wasn't dancing, just standing up and he got shouted down where I was - and I mean I sympathized with the poor guy totally, but standing doing nothing during "Wild Horses"? When I stood up (through 75% of the show), I was dancing like a madman, and I didn't get any yells to siddown.
Maybe because at the end of the songs I yelled "Rah-neee! Rah-neee!" and was pulled down once by my father at the end of "Rocks Off" when I yelled "YEAH! YEAH! RONNNIEEEE! YOU FUCKIN' RULE!"
My heart still speeds up just thinking about it... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... "Rocks Off" live...... sounding absolutely phenomenal...

That's what I've been telling people for years !!! Most of the people who pay to see the Stones in the U.S. don't know or care much about the Stones. They just go because it's the "happing thing du jour". I have a recording from Hartford 3/28/99 where some girl talks from start to finish. I saw it at Gillette Stadium Thursday night, and have seen it at other Stones shows. It's a fact. That's why the Stones could never get away with playing obscure songs to often. The majority of people want to hear only the hot rocks, if they care at all. |

matthijs - glad the prozac has helped...;-)
I seriously thought you were going to top yourself before the week was over.
In the same way that I didn't share your recent negativity, I'm not terribly impressed by the live mp3s...
Keith's mistakes are pretty obvious and Ronnie's solos are not as great as some Ronnie aficionados had us believe... |
