LowRyter Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Paul, I might pick them up in Denver or St Louis. Maybe Memphis. Bev and I are considering Dead & Co at the Sphere and TTB in T-town. Talk about a logistics exercise. Hackney is the best new Stones studio in 40 years. Did Chanel sing "Sounds of Heaven, Sympathy, Shelter, or Can't Always Get"? All or some? Someone should post "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" here. Great Stones gospel. 2 Link to comment
gstallons Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The Rolling stones ; GREAT , the thing tat made them so good was , their lousy playing and almost out of tune music . Mick's voice was pathetic. You think they were a garage band playing in front of their neighbors for the first time . Yes they got a little wholesome for a while but I thank the Rock n Roll gods they got back to where they should be . Get Yer Yaya's Out. MMMMMM. As it should be , loud and lousy ! On second thought , yeah I would pay $500 maybe $600 if they would come over but they would have to start playing about 3 in (I take tea at three) the afternoon ! 1 1 Link to comment

Chanel was on all but she really shined on Sweet Sounds, Sympathy…her voice is SPECTACULAR and she has stage presence like Tina Turner…just amazing! I have been watching the YouTube videos of the show and even what I recorded and honestly Sweet Sounds just gets better and better. The Hackney Diamonds album is phenomenal, even the Video for Angry is very special…linking the Stones history with some amazing lip synched graphics to old billboards. As amazing as the music was, the stage and lighting were equally as spectacular. I am tempted to go pick up another couple of shows as well! ENJOY the shows if you go…you will not be disappointed! I would love to see a concert at the Sphere…that will be a very unique experience for sure 1 Link to comment
PJPR01 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The Stones show started at 9:15, ran for 2 hours, about 15 minutes shorter than a normal show per the hard core fanatics…but the opening act of Gary Clark was enough to compensate…tremendous blues player. Compared to the 2019 show here in Houston, it was just as good and equally as enjoyable. Keef a bit more sedate but did a great rendition of T&A… Link to comment
LowRyter Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Yes, I think Hackney is the best Stones record since Tattoo You, although Stripped is really good but it's all legacy stuff. This record isn't in the category of the current big hits. I'm guessing the Stones fans are too old and the music isn't relating to the younger folk. But the music business is changed. The band rocks, they're really solid group, the songs are some gems. So for as what shows and where I'll go this year is a real question mark. At least I can say I've seen the Stones a few time. The last time in 10k seat indoor arena with a 2nd stage and walkway. Mick looked my in the eye every time he turned left, I was his visual stage mark. They played "Moonlight Mile", the only tour they ever played so far as I know. Did they open with Honky Tonk or Start Me Up? or? 1 Link to comment
gstallons Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 It's bad when AARP starts handling ticket sales instead of Ticketmaster ! + you are looking for a Senior Citizen's discount . 1 Link to comment
LowRyter Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 "Cool" passes from one generation to the next. I don't think the Stones or the Beatles will ever go out of style like Frank or Elvis, at least not in my lifetime. I think those bands were not only revolutionary but had enough self awareness and genuine quality that transcends style. They've had a hell of run, from the '64 and still going. Not perhaps at the very top anymore but still near the top of their game. The remaining Dead are able to reassemble and have relied upon a family of musicians and dedicated following. 2 Link to comment

Every live version with its mistakes and innovation is memorable. I wish I had seen them more often…but it didnt happen in the past. Opening song…Start me Up!! When you get 70,000 people all singing and enjoying the vibe…it’s a good feeling! Link to comment

gstallons Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 You know country music is judged by/for it's authenticity . No other music is required to be "real". I don't listen to it but I appreciate the authenticity of it. any idiot can put together silly lyrics , "she thinks my tractor's sexy" . Hmmmmm. I don't . Hank sang his feelings , his history , his life . He was also a mortal who happened to be a god at the same time. He was called out for 6 encores on his first time at The Grand Ole Opry. SIX , yes six . they had to stop the encores because the rest of the show had to continue. This style of music IS Country music . Some artists still have it , this is what people listen for and to . I hope it never stops. 1 Link to comment
