Ed Lada 2,792 Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I had an opportunity to see The Rolling Stones in Berlin last summer at a reasonable price and not too far form the stage. I didn't go for a number of reasons. The concert was the day after I returned from a visit to the US, the venue was the Olimpiastadion in Berlin which holds about 70,000 people for this kind of concert and is in my opinion a pretty shitty space. Last of all, although I grew up with the Stones, I just don't care for any of their work after the early '70s. My wife went to the concert with some friends and she loved it. But you have to understand that they grew up in communist Poland and to see a legendary band, who's music was banned in their country years ago, had its own special cachet. I am not against dinosaur acts in general, I have seen some great bands in their prime, and others long after the bloom of youth has faded on them. I have enjoyed many of the old bands still touring, I am going to see Fleetwood Mac next July and I am looking forward to it. However some performers just need to accept the fact that they are getting old, very old, and maybe its time to stop. I saw my hero Springsteen in 2016 for the 2nd time (the first time in 2003) and as much as I hate to say it, it's time he should consider retirement, at least from the huge arena shows. Bruce was fantastic of course, but his age is showing, his voice is wearing out and at his age, he just doesn't have the energy he did years ago, who amongst us older folk does? I would have loved to have seen his recent Broadway show however. There are a few acts that come to mind that impressed me. I saw Ozzy Osborne in 2012 and again with Black Sabbath in 2017 and I thought he was amazingly good, I would venture to say better than he has been in years, maybe he has finally sobered up. Another exception is Eric Clapton, I have seen him live in 1997, 2006, and 2013 and he was better each time I saw him. I saw Robert Plant this past summer and although he can't scream quite as well as he did when I saw Led Zeppelin in 1977, he still put on a good show for an old rocker. ZZ Top also did a good show in Potsdam about 5 years ago. I think one thing that helped is with the exception of Clapton, all of these shows were in smaller venues holding a maximum of about 30,00 people, some as few as 4,000. I think an intimate venue creates a warmer feeling and intimacy that benefits the older performers. In short, in my opinion, it is cool to see the heroes of our misspent youth and relive the days and revel in the memories of their music. But at some point, many of the performers become almost a parody of themselves and it is sad to see them struggle through their classic hits. I would rather keep the memory of the band in their glory days than to see some ancient facsimile on stage struggling through their repertoire. I want to leave a live concert with the music still pounding in my ears and feeling excited and awestruck, not feeling sorry for the old farts going through the motions on stage. Oh yeah, I'm not getting any younger either. I can't stand in a crowd for hours, seating in some of the venues is quite steep and sometimes aggravates my vertigo, the stairs are hard to negotiate, and I just don't always have the physical energy that I did years ago even if my mind thinks I do.

Foreverslow 256 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Saw the Stones the last tour outdoors. Was not impressed compared to 20 years ago. Watching Mick jumping around like he is Richard Simons rocking to the oldies, you are waiting for him to dislocate a hip or something... Like PB, I never missed a BB King concert. His last 2 tours were sad, especially the last one (sat 11 rows back, center). He looked so weak(even weaker then years earlier when he was suffering with diabetes) and could not play like he used to. His band was doing what they could to put on a good show. Saw Johnny Winter a couple weeks before he joined Jesus's cloud 9 all star rock band. They literally carried him in a chair from the tour bus up a set of steps in the back of the venue onto the stage. He played very well, but was exhausted after 2 sets when the roadies lifted the chair and carried him back to the bus. The worst is Robert Cray who still headlines for some bands. Just a broken down old blues player backed up by a group of dicks who have no reverence for what he accomplished. No brilliance unless he is cranking through one of his old hits and the fingers go on autopilot. You want to cry when you remember him in his prime. Getting back to the Stones, anyone catch the Ronny Woods weekly show on AXS TV? He will be interviewing somebody, hear a tune in the background and forget about the guest as he starts strumming the diddy on his guitar. Reminds me of Disney's Dug the Dog. The guests are like WTF?? Who thought it would be a good idea to give him a tv show? Be care going to legacy shows. They can disappoint you pretty easily. Link to post Share on other sites

Rasputin22 2,715 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Indeed! Bill had been hanging out in the Islands for years in a faded bandana and some scrimshaw stuff on his fingers and around the neck. He was pretty broke but lived a pretty simple if Spartan life.

I thought it was quite good and since my brother has lived for about 30 years in Asbury Park and other Jersey towns near Bruce's hometown of Freehold, NJ, I recognized a lot of the places that Bruce talked about in his days there. Not too many artists or other public figures are so willing to open a lot of their inner thoughts, insecurities, problems and fears in public like Bruce. In his music, his book and also on the Broadway stage. He needs to do that obviously (or he wouldn't take the risk), but it takes a lot of guts. Link to post Share on other sites

QBF 527 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I saw the Stones in concert around 1965/1966 and thought they were much, much better on record than they were live. Today, the Rolling Stones are really getting up there in years with Keith Richards (age 75), Charie Watts (age 77), Mick Jagger (age 75).

A guy in the Chesapeake 1,674 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 2 hours ago, Shootist Jeff said: I saw the Stones in concert in Abu Dhabi back in 2014 - at an outdoor arena. Paid extra for the "golden circle" tix, which is the area nearest the stage. All standing room only. They had a big T-shaped stage that extended out into the crowd. We were at the base end of the T and we could practically touch Jagger's foot as he came out and played. I think we paid maybe $250 max. Holy shit, they were amazing, especially for a bunch of old dinosaurs! If you get a chance, definitely go see them before one of them finally dies. The music was really good, and they just played practically non-stop for 2 hours. Mick was the Energizer bunny up on stage. And now - the tour's postponed - don't know why yet - I asked, but, the arena wouldn't let my band fill in for them..... Link to post Share on other sites
SPORTSCAR 703 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 First saw the Stones in 1973, two concerts on the same day at a 13000 seat venue, one in the afternoon and one at night and they were just brilliant. Two of the best rock concerts of my life, memorable and hugely entertaining. Saw them again at a stadium venue in 1995 and they were quite ordinary, just going through the motions even back that far. Mechanical at best, they looked bored on stage. Pay big bucks to see them decompose on stage in their Topping Up the Superannuation Tour in 2019? I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites
Excoded Tom 1,556 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I saw The Who's last tour. I was in high school. So that was a while back. I wish I had seen them when Keith Moon was alive. Speaking of dead rockers, they were replaying Howard Stern's interview of Artimus Pyle over the weekend. He talked about the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash. He watched the left wing come off as the plane went into the trees. He set out through swamp and a plowed field and found a farmhouse, where he was given the traditional Mississippi greeting for bloody strangers who wander out of the woods in the dark (he was shot.) He managed to yell out "plane crash" and the kid who shot him immediately went to helping him. He said the kid later claimed to have shot "over his head" because "you did not want to be the Mississippi kid who shot Lynyrd Skynyrd." Link to post Share on other sites

Mid 3,077 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Quote Orginally slated to begin in April, the tour will now begin in July with new dates to be announced in the coming weeks. Jagger will need to rest after completing the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), sources say. The minimally invasive procedure allows Jagger to avoid major surgery — doctors are able to repair the heart valve using a a catheter that accesses a major artery without opening the chest. https://www.stereogum.com/2038730/mick-jagger-undergoes-successful-heart-surgery-fleetwood-mac-will-replace-rolling-stones-at-jazz-fest/news/ Link to post Share on other sites
