A new Stones DVD, right in time for Xmas. Who the Hell could have seen that coming?
What sucks though, is that the DVD is not the whole show. Compare the track listings with the CD, and it's obvious enough.Last edited by FORD; 09-05-2013, 04:09 PM.Eat Us And Smile

Well.. there you have it.... Live DVD release upcoming, and the touring band are looking for other gigs. Guess that means the 50th Anniversary tour is officially over.
But does that mean The Stones themselves are over?Eat Us And Smile

The Rock Hall is putting on a Stones tribute show, as part of their Music Masters (formerly known as American Music Masters) series, and Fischer was part of it. Then a few days later there was a release that mentioned she had other commitments. An article in the Plain Dealer quoted someone from the HOF that said the Stones themselves wouldn't be there due to "being on their 50th anniversary tour." Bobby Keys will be at the tribute show, though. I am thinking of going, already going to see Jeff Beck the next night...maybe he'll show up at this too.
Annual Music Masters Concert Honoring the Music of the Rolling Stones
Grammy Award-winning drummer Steve Jordan will lead the house band as musical director. Jordan has assembled a group of critically-acclaimed musicians, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Ian McLagan, Bernard Fowler, Bobby Keys, Trevor Lawrence, Steve Madaio, Waddy Wachtel and Willie Weeks to perform. Joining the tribute concert lineup are Merry Clayton and Sarah Dash.

Haven't they been for some time? Not being a smart ass but I'd much rather see Keith and the X-Pensive Winos than this rendition anymore. I don't need to see or even hear Mick live again. The last few times ruined what was back in 78...then again in 81...seeing them on a warmup for the Voodoo Lounge with 2000 people in Michigan...who could ever forget that experience.
Some would say the band ended with Brian. Personally, I thought he wasn't really contributing much to the band...just going for a ride at the end. Others would say when they burned out the bright light that was Mick Taylor. Kinda hard to argue when you look at the body of work his hand was on with them. I've heard a few say when Bill Wyman left they shudda hung it up too. All I know is after "Tattoo You" their albums become a collection of really good songs wedged in with a bunch of crap. Yeah crap. Their last one wasn't even worth listening to twice it was that damned bad to me. The last really good song I can recall them putting down was "Saint of Me" and that was YEARS...ago.
Oh well. I love the Rolling Stones and the body of work. I just don't need to see them live ever again. I'll listen to the boots and occasionally watch the shows.Comment

Go figure - I hated that fuckin St. Of Me tune (and Bridges album - minus Keef's brilliant contributions). I thought Doom & Gloom was pretty damn good - at least it was better than 90% of the shat out there now. I do agree that I have no desire to shuck out $150 to see these old codgers again. Seeing them upstaged by Buddy Guy on the Bigger Bang tour ended all illusions for me.My karma just ran over your dogma.Comment

A Devil always appreciates Mick at his blasphemous best, but to me, Bridges to Babylon was to Voodoo Lounge as Emotional Rescue was to Some Girls or Goats Head Soup was to Exile..... pretty much "songs that were left over from the last record".
Not a bad album really, just not as good by comparison....or even by design, since the stronger songs had already been used.Eternally Under the Authority of Satan
