It *was* a great show. My first show with Love in Vain and Rooster. Plus abso-primo seats on the B stage rail dead center in front of Mick's mic. Here is one image from the digital cam.

Well, the lab screwed up and didn't do my hi-res CD from the negs on time. Here are some temporary images I scanned at home from their so-so 4x6 prints.
More soon. |

Damn!! Those are some GREAT pics! Looks like you guys were as close as you can possibly get.
About Ronnies slide guitar: To me it looks exactly like the one Keith played in '69 to '71. Which was an Ampeg Dan Armstrong, right? A couple weeks ago I saw it from kinda far away. Others said it's a Zematis? Does anyone know for sure what it is?

The one on the bottom would make a great cover shot for whenever the CDs surface. |

Glad to hear someone else got it.
Any idea on mics/deck/recording location?
Mine was recorded from L4B row 3 seat 9 with a PCM1 (DAT) and Sonic Studios mics. Went off without a hitch. Havent had a chance to get it transferred yet though. |

I love that crouching Keith, too. Sadly, he got slightly out of focus when he crouched. Here's a detail from a sharper one just back from the lab.
More soon.

GREAT PIX STONESLIB!!

Could this be the last time? Should it be? For at least the past decade, those questions have provided fascinating subtext to every tour by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the fabled musical group they lead.
Could this be the last time? Should it be?
For at least the past decade, those questions have provided fascinating subtext to every tour by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the fabled musical group they lead.
These issues are more timely than ever as the Rolling Stones � "the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band" � celebrates its 40th anniversary with a new, year-long tour that included a sonically challenged show Thursday night at the San Diego Sports Arena.
After all, drummer Charlie Watts is 61, Mick Jagger 59, and Keith Richards 58, while guitarist Ron Wood (who joined in 1976) is the junior member at 55. That's almost ancient for a band whose image and best-known songs are synonymous with youthful rebellion (the show-opening 1968 anthem "Street Fighting Man"), sexual tension (1965's "Satisfaction," one of Thursday's highlights) and the sense of defiance and danger embodied by the group's ethos of mayhem, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
So the multimillion-dollar question now for Jagger, Richards and company is: Is time still on their side? Or is it, as the Stones sang in 1974, that time waits for no one � not even a band that has grossed a clock-stopping $1.5 billion since 1989 alone?
By turns impassioned and ragged, lively and lethargic, the aurally muddled Sports Arena concert supported both points of view. The band coasted on automatic-pilot one moment, ignited the next, then coasted and ignited again, until finishing in high-gear with a careening encore of "Jumpin' Jack Flash."
The repertoire, which included such rarely aired gems as "Let It Bleed," "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" and "Neighbors," was generally inspired. The sloppy delivery and cluttered sound that marred many selections was anything but, and the musical tension and release of the Stones' best work was often lost in the din.
Jagger, still lean and wiry, strutted and preened in trademark style, and acted frisky when opening act Sheryl Crow joined him for a duet on "Honky Tonk Women." But he seemed notably less energetic than at the Stones' rain-soaked 1998 rave-up at Qualcomm Stadium.
Guitarist Richards got down more than up, staying low to the stage as if engaged in a knee-buckling battle with gravity. He also sang two of the most earthy and satisfying tunes of the night, "Slipping Away" and "Happy" (the latter of which soared after a false start by Richards and Wood).
The self-effacing Watts � the only original Stone on stage whose hair doesn't take on a darker hue with each new tour � was his usual, no-nonsense self despite uncharacteristically rushing some of his drum fills.
The band's senior member, Watts acted his age and seemed all the more dignified for doing so. Frontman Jagger, conversely, can't age gracefully, at least not so long as he is the visual focal point for a band whose most potent songs still defy (or at least deny) time.
What is sadly undeniable, though, is just how wretched the sound was for the majority of the two-hour, 21-song concert, the band's first at the Sports Arena since 1972. With tickets for the show, which sold out in just 25 minutes back in May, costing up to $303 each (plus service charges), the inferior audio quality was inexcusable.
It was so bad that not only were most of Richards' lead guitar lines hard to discern, but so were many of Jagger's spoken introductions. The faster the tempo, the louder the song and the more musicians on stage, the worse it sounded (rock-solid bassist Darryl Jones and keyboardist Chuck Leavell performed throughout, while three backing singers and a four-man horn section appeared intermittently).
So what might have been a charged opening salvo � "Street Fighting Man," "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll," "If You Can't Rock Me," "Don't Stop" (the sole new song) and the brassy "Bitch" � was instead a jumbled mess.
Things improved briefly with the predominantly acoustic "Love in Vain" and "Let It Bleed." But then came a swift return to audio hell with the subsequent "Monkey Man," "Midnight Rambler" and most of the songs that followed � with the notable exception of "Neighbors," "Little Red Rooster" and "Brown Sugar," which were performed near the end of the night on the small satellite stage at the rear of the arena.
One reason for this sonic mess was the Stones' late arrival, which resulted in the band taking the stage without benefit of a sound check.
Never mind that the group grossed about $2.1 million for Thursday's 13,000-capacity show (roughly the same as for its 1994 stadium concert here, which drew nearly 52,000 people). This audio sludge-fest would have been insulting at any price, place or time.

Thanks one million times again! |
