Well put plus 1,000...that said remember the Atlantic City pay per view from 89 ??? Clapton & john Lee Hooker guesting..
it seems strange to tyoe Bill Wyma guesting with the Stones... guess thats another sign of aging --if you saw Bill Wyman play with the Stones you're gettin old

Here it is Clapton & John lee Hooker
BTW Equinox I'm jealous as hell that your doing 2. I am holding out hope (its a longshot) of making 1 of the
2 Newark shows

I do remember the PPV quite well. Unfortunately, I wasn't there.

Good luck with Newark. There is a show in Brooklyn on 12/8 that I believe you can still find tickets for.

Can't make Brooklyn dammit... I wasn't at this ac show either dammit. On another note 89 was the greatest year to see live shows....Besides the Stones tour ( I caught the opening Philly gig 1st show in 8 years - from the tenth row for free dead center- got tix from a Stones roadie.... long story ), the Who toured, and The Grateful Dead were on fire. Caught multiples of the first 2 ( Wymans last tour & the Who still with entwhistle) ... and tons of GD including the 3 Alpines "Downhill from here" shows. Gone are the daze....

I was at the second night in Philly. Didn't have a great seat. It was in the years before I got really serious about touring with the Stones. In '94 I saw both Philly shows and walked away wishing i could see more. Of course most of my money and time were devoted to the Dead. After that, though, I've averaged about eight shows per Stones tour

The trouble with the Stones is that Keith insists on playing lead guitar when he is not up to it and Ron was often too drunk when he played lead. The result: Train Wreck!

I have seen them many time and when Ron was sober and focused and played lead and Keith stuck to rhythm they sounded very good. Keith has, however, forced Ronnie to the backseat.

Yes, I agree that Ronnie has taken something of a backseat to Keith. It's a shame because he's an amazing guitarist. He did a solo show in AC in April that was really out of this world. Nonetheless, there are times when he and Keith totally sync up and the effect is really powerful. Check out the Shine A Light film. They were both really on that night.

And Keith can be a pretty strong lead guitarist. Most of the leads on Beggar's Banquet and Let It Bleed are his.

Set list thus far.....



1-Wanna be your man
2-Get of off my cloud
3-It's All Over Now
4-Paint It Black
5-Gimme Shelter (Mary J. Blige on vocals)
6-Wild Horses
7-All Down The Line
8-Going Down (Beck)
9-Out Of Control
10-One more shot
11-Doom and gloom
12-It's only rock n' roll (Wyman)
13-Honky Tonk Woman (Wyman) (Lisa Fischer)

Arguably the best Stones show ever was Brussells '73. Definitely worth seeking out. Oh wait, here it is.



While I liked the musical contributions of Brian Jones more on the studio work, no doubt Mick Taylor was a better live player.

Stones fans will like this, and it's very, very funny
