Any Rolling Stones fans out there ?

[baxterdavid]

The Rollin' Stone's, in my pers'onal opinion, are highly overrated and annoying.

[crawdaddy]

The Stones played 2nd night of 3 in Tokyo last night and wiped the cobwebs of an oldie not played live since the mid '70's.

'Silver Train'  , with great slide guitar from a young Mick Taylor in this old clip.

He was also on stage last night but can't find any decent youtube clips yet. Went down a storm with the fans last night in Tokyo.     :drinks:

Anyone interested going to see a good band in 2014.
The Rolling Stones will be in South East Asia,Dubai ,Oz and NZ Feb -March and maybe more dates.
May use it as an excuse to meet old friends and relatives from old days when I lived that way in late '60's early '70's.
Great days and a lot younger then.    :drinks:

Two Rolling Stones playing last night at The Cutting Room, a great little place in New York.
Last show of their tribute gigs to Jimmy Reed.
Blues players get better as they get older.  BB King is still going strong at 80+ years old.    :clap:

I really think they should knock it on the head, before they hurt themselves. They just can't do it any more, it's all about mustard really.

[bigbaz]

im sure it would look a bit better if keith richards would mime in time to the music

Rolling Stones at Hyde Park  summer of 2013 on BBC1 tonight.
I will be watching it and just a trailer really for the DVD coming out in November.
Brother in law was there and said the whole day at Hyde Park was great.
Very warm at both gigs, but plenty of good live music.   :clap:

[crawdaddy]

Really good youtube clip of great gig at Wembley many years ago. I was there about 50 metres from stage which was fairly close.

This was original trailer for the film in U.S.A. cinemas in 1964.

DVD came out about 2010 and features the ''exponants of the MerseyBeat.........The Rolling Stones.''

Shows how much they knew at the time.

A bit of nostalgia.

Yeh !  Glen Campbell  stood in for Brian Wilson in 1964- 65 when Brian had medical problems.  His own career was starting to take off and he didn't stay long. Poor fella has got alzeimers now and I think his touring days may be over.   Always loved the Beach Boys music.    :clap:

[webejamin]

Funny you mention Glen Campbell crawdaddy, I'm sure he was with the Beach boys when I saw them in the early days, can't remember where

[Chumbagal]

Thanks-loved it, "those five fellas from England" certainly got everyone rockin!:)

[crawdaddy]

Just a sideline to the video of the TAMI show in 1964,with some vintage performances by so many great artists.
Notably, The Rolling Stones and James Brown.
Leon Russell on piano and Glen Campbell on guitar were playing that night as members of the Wrecking Crew,the house band for the night.
Session musicians for so many great American hit records of that time.      :drinks:

[tonychris]

Thanks Crawdady, really enjoyed the Stones.

[crawdaddy]

A great bit of nostalgia here for all us oldies.    Never shown on U.K.  TV.
Renowned by Stones fans cos they had to follow James Brown at the very end of the show.     :drinks:

Yes Jill, they are still a crowd puller when it comes to live music. I've been a fan since I heard their first single,'Come On', way back about 1964 time.
Their great years ,in my opinion, were late '60's ,early '70's,specially when Mick Taylor was lead guitar.
Still a great live act and Glastonbury has been aclaimed by fans as best Stones gig in recent years.
I knew a few Stones fans who went there and they loved the whole 3 days of Glastonbury.     :D

[jill cockfield]

LOVE EM, LOVE, LOVE EM, they must have something they've been around long enough.

[crawdaddy]

Another great performance of the same song by a differant performer.

Way back in 1974.    :clap:

http://youtu.be/wQPlU5q1CBI

[crawdaddy]

New gigs in Europe by the end of the year hopefully.
Great performance of a fairly well known song, not that long ago to some of us oldies.   :whistle:

http://youtu.be/FUTQrxidVms

[crawdaddy]

I've deleted the last 3 posts cos the videos have been taken down.
If I come across anything interesting for Stones fans ,I will post it,but that's the end of this leg of the tour.
More dates rumoured for Europe by the end of 2013 maybe.      :tiphat:

[crawdaddy]

You don't like them.................fair enough.
As I've said before in this thread.
Differant tastes for differant people.Do yer own thing. Would be a boring world otherwise.     :handshake   

[Tutty]

After watching them at Glastonbury, I can honestly say very dissapointing... If ever you had the urge to run on stage with wheelchairs and oxygen tanks, that was the gig.. :crazy: :rofl:

[tonychris]

Totally Brilliant as always.

[crawdaddy]

All the BBC stuff been taken off.

Closest decent clip I found forGlastonbury Girl.
Really looking forward to the two Hyde Park gigs and I'm sure they will please the fans as much as Glastonbury.

[crawdaddy]

This was the opener of The Stones show at Glastonbury.
May seem a familiar song.

[Talking Heads]

Some people like tea and some like coffee , everybody to there own personal choice as no body is right?
As a dj there are quite a few tunes which gets most people dancing, Mavericks - Dance the night away, is one.
like I say everyone to there own personal choice.
Rolling stones are Icons of British rock music and have created some great tracks and I applaud them for still mixing it with the younger rock groups like kasabian, killers, snow patrol and kings of Leon.

[bigbaz]

sounds like you´re arguing to me

[bigbaz]

haha, see Graeme, u love arguing

awaywiththefairies, i reckon the worst band i ever saw live was genesis at reading fest 1973

[awaywiththefairies]

Having said the thought of them playing made me 'cringe' at the start of this thread, I will say they came across better than expected.  But all the self indulgent guitar playing ,woo hoos etc just went on too long.  Keith looked like he may keel over at any point, and I reckon Ronnie spent most of the set standing by him in case he did.

Michael Eavis has apparently booked another 'iconic' headliner for next year.  Here's hoping its not Genesis

[bigbaz]

cos u love to argue on forums

[bigbaz]

Pack it in Graeme

how can i say ur argumentative when you agree with me

[Red]

Have to agree with Graeme.. I too saw them at the Ealing Club 1961 ish, (Down the steps by the Railway) lived in Hanwell at the time.



 

[zilnor]

No matter which group  or singer you enjoy listening to or seeing on stage, none of them can perform in their sixties as well as they did in their youth.

[Tetley]

I think the worry is..... like any band or not.... its very difficult for someone in later years to play & sing like they did when they were in there 20,s,ive seen ac&dc live , springsteen, in the past couple of years very very good,my veiw is,if you get the chance at a sensible price go and see the old firms wile you still can,because we are all destined to be listening to all this modern manufactured talent less crap (with a few exeptions ) sooner rather than later once all the top bands and performers decide to stay on the islands.   :tiphat:
