The Rolling Stones 50 and counting tour - Next Gig:

May 22 - LA #2 reviews and more to come up...

=> LA Weekly has a nice story to tell from that last gig; here's a taste:
This was what hardcore Stones fans have been waiting for all their lives. This was why they stood in lines for hours, paid too much for tickets, missed work time or begged off from family obligations -- just so they could follow the Stones around the state like true believers, dazed and ecstatic to finally hear those magic skeins of sound onstage for the first time. It was a real moment. It made up for every torture, every test of endurance and patience, every hoop that Jagger made the fans jump through.
Go there and read the full review! (print-layout)

=> The Stones exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland is about to open on May 24, 2013. Among the treasures you can see are a cape, stitched from flags, that Mick Jagger wore on tour in 1981-82, the Harmony 12-string acoustic guitar that Keith Richards played on such early records as Tell Me and Good Times, Bad Times, a sketch by Charlie Watts that was published in a 1966 U.S. tour program, Brian Jones' custom Vox teardrop guitar and the original artwork for 1974's It's Only Rock 'n Roll.

Well, last night was a dream come true for all Stones- and Mick-Taylor-fans! Maybe the Stones have read or heard, what was posted all over the net: that many, many people would like to hear Mick Taylor on more than just one or two songs (i.e. Midnight Rambler and Satisfaction). Last night, the Stones had balls enough to delf into Sway and Can't You Hear Me Knocking - both of them hot juwels from the Mick Taylor years. That led to four (4) songs with the second Mick. All I can say about this is: please, please, keep that man playing with the band like last night!! That was a thunderous start but even then, there's room enough to even top that later in the tour! So please enjoy the videos from that gig in LA:

July 20, 2011(and for eternity) - The Rolling Stones, Sticky Fingers And The Lost Photo Session

Ok, this comes a bit late. But since there are no more news about the possible gigs for Hide Park or anything like a tour in 2012 right now, I thought we could use the occasion and look back over yonder...

Recently, a treasure of photographs were discoverd after photographer Peter Webb's negatives went missing after shooting the Stones for that monster record "Sticky Fingers". Then, out of nowhere, they are re-discovered after a gap of almost 40 years. Let's have a look... oh man, have a look at Keith's eyes ...
