These guys still know how to rock.

Mrs.E and I went to see them a couple of years ago at the beginning of
the
"Licks" tour at the Fleet Center in Boston. It was horrible because of
the
disgusting sound system at the Center.

This performance was actually better, sound-wise.

You think?

The garage band down the block is tighter than the Stones were tonight.
How the H do you flub up "Satisfaction" after 40 years? You could see a
couple of the guys were really frustrated- I thought the bass player
was going to climb right up into the drummer's lap for a while there as
they struggled to get their licks together. Lot's of unhappy glances
exchanged every time somebody screwed something up. They were literally
"jamming" instead of performing. Very disappointing show.

My suggestion, fewer drugs and less booze before a performance- and
more rehearsals.

Yes sir...I don't know how the Stones justify their outrageous fees.
Have to admit, I've never seen them live...(my son wouldn't let me go
along with him & his buddies when they played the Maritimes last summer)
but age & lifestyle is really creeping up on these guys.
I like to hear them the way they sounded in the 60s.
Now I don't think they're a reasonable facsimile of a rock band.

I agree. I thought they stunk last night. Maybe that is because I
generally never cared for them.

My wife and I did get a kick seeing all the teenyboppers scream and jump
about over them......a bunch of 60 some year old drugged out has-beens who
are old enough to be their grandfathers.
