Were you able to hear plenty of bass?
That's my buddy Daryl Jonesfrom Chicago, thundering his Lakland (also
made in Chicago) jazz bass guitar.

man, that guy can play!


Cool that you know Daryl.


Yup...that's what seemed to penetrate the house walls a bit.
When I went outside (cold, windy, rainy night) everything, including the
singing & talking was very clear.
That's a pretty good gig he's landed, if you don't mind touring. I
believe the Stones chartered an Air Canada plane to fly them up from the
Boston area.. so no long bus rides in the middle of nowhere for them.

I feel really kind of bad for the guy in that he has been their de
facto bass player since '94, so that's four massive world tours and two
studio albums (I don't think he played on the latest album and I don't
think Ron Wood did much either, I think Mick, Keith and Charlie did it
as kind of a "virtual" band heavy on the overdubs) but they have never
deemed to credit him as a band member, it's always the other our of
them in the promo shots and taking the final bow at the shows,
relegating him to sideman status, doesn't seem right, The World's
Greatest Rock'n'Roll Band should have a bass player! Hey I"m not
saying he should get the same full cut as the rest, he didn't write any
of the music and the next-least-senior member, Ron Wood, has been with
them twenty years longer, so work out the money however you want but
just give him the well-deserved title of band member after all this
time and good work.
