sh*t, he bankrolled that second staples center gig on the licks tour the last time around.
As one of the fortunate ones to win great seats to that excellent Staples show, I got no problem with the guy.
I also have no problem if he wants to bankroll a free "Bigger Bing" tour. |

That review said: a low-key Edge
?? I was right next to him. He was with Bing and Lance, and all 3 of them stood the entire show, grooving with the head knod action, and sucking cold brews. No, not micro-either. Not one break, standing right through Keith's set...and we had comfy seats with room. They stayed from pre-start to end finish, none of that early "I'm so important" leaving early business that Depp did at Hobo #2. They smiled and enjoyed it as we all did. At one point, the Edge is singing to Dead Flowers, calling on his cell phone for YCAGWYA and holding it up toward the stage, and then singing the lyrics into the phone "Ya Can't Always Get What Ya Want". I wouldn't call that "low-key". It was a great night for all. Everyone was a fan that night. The only thing that separated us was a few hundred million in the Bank! HA!
Side note: As I was making my way to my seat, this guy next to me says "I think I may get the set list tonight." He sounded so happy, I turned and looked and it was Gary Shandling.
The set list was tight, Mick's energy amazing, Keith's amp was in front of us for the "semi-b-stage" for a bit. No delay, no mix, just straight from his guitar to our ears. A memorable night.
P.s. I came here for the pics link on Shidoobee, and I must say WOW! GREAT SHOTS HERE, both new and old material. Thanks!
(Edited some of the notes not important, it was a great night. Just so much better than Wiltern. No one going to be seen, just going to see the Stones!!! I will never forget...I hope! ha!)

Hi MacDaddy. Thanks for your reply. We had originally planned to be at all 3 shows, Anaheim and the Hollywood Bowl #1 and #2, but while at the Portland Stones show, a very close friend died suddenly (Edit: I received the news on my cell phone, he did not pass at the Portland show - he died at home, here in California). His memorial was scheduled for Tuesday. It was not possible, even by an early flight to leave and return in time for the Tuesday show that same night. We did get a wonderful experience at the 2 shows we did get, and maybe that was meant to be. Many friends, I felt like I was at a family reunion. Great fun to be with all of you. With the loss of a good friend so suddenly, it's all that much more sweet to enjoy the time we are together.

Sorry for the edits, but sometimes I read what I write after I post, and it does not appear to be clear. Or it rambles on and on ... and on! ha! |

Unfortunatly not. I almost had a ticket lined up but it fell through at the very last second. I work around the corner from the Bowl so I drove Highland on my way home and was insanely jealous but amped for the fans. I should have pulled a "Dan" and tried to sneak in.
Anyway, Sunday's show was a blast. My wife and I were able to get our first sitter for our 3-month year old and it was a dream to have our first "date" without the baby with the Rolling fucking Stones.
Now I need to secure tix to the forum show in March so let me know if you get a line on any extra cause my Stones juices are flowin'. |

Thanks mac. I'd give anything to make it with you guys to SD but, like you said free nights are few and far between. It's a tough adjustment from the freedom I had just months ago but well worth the sacrifice. Anyway, I appreciate any help on the forum gig. Have a frickin' blast in Diego! can't wait to hear about the show! |

Hi VoodooChile. No, our next show is SBC in San Francisco, then to Vegas for the MGM show. That's as far as we've planned for November.
Thanks Mac.  |
