marko YCB -- the Stones sound was all fucked up in Toronto -- couldn't hear Keith for the first 4 songs! Ronnie was there, but the problem from my vantage point was no Keef!
And AC/DC fucking ROCKED!! The sound was awesome! The setlist was awesome!
That's the boot you should be looking for! |

about timberlake....jagger's daughters really wanted to see him.....they're at that age...so maybe this had something to do with him being there in the first place.
i was backstage, and i saw mick taking his girls out to see timberlake "perform". |

Hey I got hit in the head with a half full water bottle meant for Justin. Actually some of Justin's fans were throwing water bottles back toward the crowd! They must have had eyes in the back of their heads to be able to watch Justin and know exactly who was throwing water bottles from behind them! I wish I was cool and superhuman like them but in reality I am not. I'm just a fool who got blown away by AC/DC and the Stones from just a stone's throw away! |

I just don't get it.
How come a band like the Stones with their resources and money still often has shitty sound while AC/Dc on same gigs have a real clear and powerful sound. It was the same in Germany.
I found that embarrassing, really !!
Who's fault is it?!

I agree CC.
The Stones SHOULD have the absolute best sound on tour. They can certainly afford the best, most up-to-date equipment and technology. They have their pick of the best soundmen and engineers in the business.
Given all that....why the fuck was the sound so spotty? I don't get it. Anyone have any ideas? |

They probably just don't care. Besides anyone who decides to follow AC/DC ought to have they're heads examined. |

The really bad sound for the Stones at the SARS concert after the amazing sound for ACDC was the ultimate low point for me as a fan of the Stones. I don't know how this could happen and I cannot even begin to tell you how really bad it was. SAD SAD SAD!!!!!!!! |

The really annoying part, is that they knew about the problem from night #1. I complained about the sound at Fleet -- and others complained about the sound at Gillette Stadium. And the problems plagued them throughout the tour -- in the US and in Europe.
I can accept a certain number of kinks that must be worked out in the beginning of a tour. Whether it is sound or lights or lack of a bridge -- whatever! It ain't great, but hey, shit happens.
But I cannot understand how a recurring problem with SOUND can happen. It really is depressing -- it either means they cannot play and they are scapegoating it thru sound, or they have incompetent people and don't care to replace them, or worse yet they have quite competent people and yet they allow the problem to persist. Any of the above are unacceptable given the status of the band and the money paid by us to see them. |

I heard that "someone" or whoever's in charge turned the volume down on the stones to avoid any potential "trouble" from arising...didn't you notice how much lower the volume was compared to ACDC?.... |

Yes. Moshing for AC/DC happened, but was it happening during the Stones? |
|
|
| CousinCocaine |
That was not the reason cause as I said before the same happened in Germany!
And it was the Stones' gig!!
Never before at a big concert witnessed a support band having better sound than the main act!
Could it really be that they cover bad playin with low and muddy sound ?!

i was in the shebeen area and only saw it on the screen, but i can tell you all that for the first four songs, i heard almost NOTHING!!!
let's be kind and fair, this was not a "stones gig" as such...it was a bunch of politicians trying to make themselves look like hot shots, and USING the stones to do just that.
having said that, from my vantage point , i was able to see (on screen) and HEAR ac/dc. |
