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!

Daryl, IS the bass player, he's not a contract "gun for hire" he is a
member of the Rolling Stones.

I don't think so, but I'm willing to be convinced if you can show me
any evidence of that. I notice that it's always Mick, Keith, Charlie
and Ron who do the press conferences and announcments (no D.J.), and
who take the final bow together with their arms around each other at
the end of each show, and even just in the credits on the tour
programs, these four are listed as the band, and Daryl is listed with
the other musicians along with Chuck Leavell and the horn players and
backup singers.
