Keith interview video / Snippet of Mick’s new Song

Lots of news coming at us these days.

After his re-release of Main Offender, Keith is interviewed this time by David Fricke. Sure enough, the level of this talk is high. Why is it only 22:34? It could easily last 4 hours more, IMHO…

Some information (wikipedia:)

Slow Horses is an upcoming spy thriller television series based on the novel of the same name by Mick Herron. The 6-episode season is scheduled to premiere on Apple TV+ on 1 April 2022.

Story:
After a botched and publicly embarrassing training mission, British MI5 agent River Cartwright is exiled to Slough House, an administrative purgatory for service rejects. Known as slow horses, Cartwright and his fellow employees must endure dull, paper pushing tasks and their miserable boss, Jackson Lamb, who expects them to quit out of boredom and frustration. Life in Slough House is defined by drudgery until the slow horses become entangled in a dangerous gambit by Regent’s Park.

2 words: EL MOCAMBO! Hear IORR, Rip This Joint!

2 words: EL MOCAMBO! Hear IORR, Rip This Joint!

Love You Live, 2nd LP, side 1!!!

’nuff said. Got it? We all loved – and still love – the ‘El Mocambo’ side of the double live album “Love You Live” which came out in September 1977. Since then all wanted to hear more of this show in Toronto, Canada. Now, the band has released 23 tracks from that show! Wonderful. A must-have! Release date is May this year. You can preorder at the official store or with the provider of your choice.

Available officially for the first time, the Stones lives shows at El Mocambo are widely considered one of the band’s most iconic live performances. Across the nights of March 4 and 5 1977, the Rolling Stones played ‘secret’ gigs at the 300 capacity venue in Toronto, under the guise of ‘The Cockroaches’, playing alongside Montreal rock favourites April Wine. Unknowing radio contest winners were the lucky music fans in attendance. By the second night, word had got out and it was very difficult to get in…

“We’re up on stage at the El Mocambo and we never felt better. I mean, we sounded great.” – Keith Richards

Keith in Apple podcast / Spare TICKET for Liverpool! / Mitchell’s story

Check this out: Keith is interviewed in the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast. Running time – 29:58

Keith Richards tells host Brian Hiatt about the future of the Rolling Stones without Charlie Watts, making his 1992 solo classic ‘Main Offender,’ his reaction to Paul McCartney calling the Stones a “blues cover band” and much more

==> podcasts.apple.com

Need a ticket for Liverpool?

Well, Peter mailed me that he has one to spare. If you want it, sent in a mail or comment below and I’ll give you his e-mail-address, so you can contact him!

BTW: here is newsanyway.com with “The Stones are rolling into Liverpool

Here is Mitchell’s story!

Hey hey. My name is Mitchell. 27 year old fan living in New York. Seen the boys 11 times so far and got tickets to see them in Paris!

My question: which pit is keiths pit for the Paris show?? I purchased pit A during the presale and it said that pit B is Ronnie’s side. However when I looked on stubhub to get resale tickets for my friend it shows pit b to be Keith’s side. I’m a keith guy so I’m fearing I purchased the wrong tickets . I don’t speak french which doesn’t help. If you could clarify I’d appreciate it!

— That was cleared soon. I then asked him about the photo he had sent in with his question:
Michell and Mich Taylor

The photo was taken the day after their second Philly show in 2013 in Philadelphia. I was 18 and Mick was kind enough to chat for a moment and take a photo. I then went inside and sat on a piano and played some blues. He came in a few min later and told me it sounded good. Also saw the entire band exit the four seasons in Philly before the show. Mick and Keith walking and talking side by side. I got keiths attention and did his head, heart balls salute to him and he laughed and gave me a thumbs up. Beyond cool.

— Next, I asked about the what and where —

I went inside the four seasons Philadelphia where I played on a piano that was sitting in the lobby. He was still outside and eventually came in and walked passed the piano as I played some blues in g (I remember the key haha) and he said it sounded good. At some point my mom saw mick and asked if he thought I could play which he said yes lol. Then she asked him if he thought I should play piano or drums as I also play. He said I’ll make more money as a piano player lol. He was very kind to me as a young adult and it meant a lot. Come to think of it I met Bobby Keys at the hotel and he was also a very kind man to me. We talked about sax players. Sonny Rollins I remember in particular. He was very much a gentlemen.

Saw them in Detroit and Sofi last year. Caught Keith’s solo show at the Beacon. They still kill it and play a fantastic show. I convinced my buddy who’d never seen them to get a pit ticket in Detroit and now he’s coming to europe too haha. He was mind blown.

Took mushrooms at the LA show. It was insane hahaha. Started in GA pit and during JJF snuck up front. Was a particularly interesting show in the sense that it was 60 years to the day Mick n Keith bumped into one another at the Dartford station.

 Great stuff! Thanks for sending this in, Mitchell!

Mick asks us …

Mick asks us …

In his latest Tweet, Mick asks us about songs the band’s gonna play.

Apparently sitting in some living room with an acoustic guitar and a plugged in Fender Strat guitar, Mick plays some chords and the asks us which songs we would like to hear on the upcoming Europe tour.

I think, he already did something like this before. Of course, the band will play the usual setlist with 2 or 3 variable songs strewn in. One of them will most likely be chosen by  public song vote, as we have seen on the last tours.

If there’s something new to the setlist this time, I wonder what it would be. To be honest, I don’t expect them to change lots of things this tour. I for one would like them to open with Street Fighting Man and playing JJF as last song before the encores. These two songs really kill and should be added to every show. Keith does You Got The Silver really well and I will enjoy hearing him sing it. Maybe they’ll put Brown Sugar back on the list?

Frank from Cologne sent in this message with some nice suggestions:

Hello, I am 66 year old a great Stones-Fan from Germany, your website is very good!! I have sent three messages on Twitter to Mick about the setlists. I think it’s Time to change some songs from them: „Time waits for no one, Confession the blues, Love is strong and why not Drift away“ for example – I am very happy see them at Gelsenkirchen
Greetings from Cologne (Köln)!!

 

Ah, the new album

Stones Sixty Europe Tour 2022

It’s so nice: another Stones tour’s ahead! And, er, ther was another thing …

Ah, yes, right. The new album! Since A Bigger Bang, an album which is much better than it’s title (IMHO, sorry), it’s been 17 years that we waited for a new official studio album.

Oh yes, there was Blue & Lonesome (2016) and I truly love this album from A to Z. But wasn’t that the surprising outcome of the band playing and jamming in the studio FOR a new album? Yes, it was. Now, what about that new album?

In the course of interviews that sourround any tour announcements, we can find several hints about productive days, Mick and Keith spent in Jamaica recently.
Well, here you go:

music-news.com: Keith Richards has been ‘playing a lot of bass’ on new Rolling Stones tunes

nme.com: Keith Richards says he’s been “playing a lot of bass” on The Rolling Stones’ new tracks

And if you like a good read, here’s a nicely extensive article in rollingstone.com with an interview with Bernard Fowler with lots of Stones content. Really recommended.

For me, it’s Gelsenkirchen!

For me, it’s Gelsenkirchen!

Finally, this tour is becoming real. Presale is running!

In case you didn’t get the presale-code from rollingstones.com, it’s very likely the same for everyone: rocksoff

As I looked at the tourdates, I chose Gelsenkirchen for my take of this tour. So on July 26, 27 and 28 there maybe will be no news here at stonesnews.com, because I’ll be on my way to the show.

I will try to get a stream of the show running, too. I only have limited ressources but at least I will try to get that thing running. I don’t know if it will work, but I’ll try. Of course, you will receive the details where to find it before the show; I’ll post it here.

All across Europe (and even beyond) people are heavy involved with travel plans, hotel bookings, buying tickets for one, two or even more shows of this tour. What a lovely buzz! And even if it’s stress and get’s on your nerves… I tell you something: You’ll miss it dearly once this band stops touring!

Sometimes, people sent in e-mails with some lines and a picture, telling about their love for this band or where they have seen them. And I would like to show them to you now. All of them agreed to quote them here. So here we go:

I hope to be able to attend the concert commemorating 60 years, preference in London in Hyde Park (magical and symbolic place for the Stones). Until then.

Keith hopes for gigs in Sweden

The Rolling Stones in Austin - 19-11-2021

Lars Pedersen, journalist from Sweden, kindly sent in this e-mail plus link to an article in swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.

He did an interview with Keith and sure enough asked for dates in Sweden for the upcoming tour. Here are his words:

Hi,

I am a journalist with the Swedish News Agency TT in Stockholm. Had a pleasant interview with Keith last night. A short article was published today in which he confirms the European Tour, albeit without specifying dates and venus.

https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/a/g6OX10/keith-richards-drar-en-lans-for-sverige

A long interview will be published next week. He talks about missing Charlie Watts and the war in Ukraine amongst other topics.

All the best // Lars

As the content of that article is in swedish, I asked Google for a translation. This is, what the translator made of it:

The Rolling Stones are planning a European tour this summer, confirms Keith Richards for TT. – I will put a good word for Sweden, says the 78-year-old guitarist. In July 1962, the Rolling Stones appeared on stage for the first time. The venue was the Marquee Jazz Club in London. The world’s biggest rock band is thus celebrating 60 years this summer and rumors have circulated about a European tour in honor of the anniversary. – I can not specify (dates and places), but it is definitely at the planning stage, says Keith Richards on the phone from New York where he will play with his second band The X-pensive Winos on Thursday night.

TT: Do you think that Sweden will also be included? – I hope so. I have not yet seen a proposed itinerary, but I’m pretty sure we’ll be going in that direction. – I will put a good word for Sweden, he promises in connection with a longer TT interview that will be published later. According to the British newspaper The Sun, the Rolling Stones will officially announce the European tour next week. The premiere will be held at the football club Liverpool’s home arena Anfield in June. Two concerts in Hyde Park in London are also included, as part of the British Summer Time festival, if the information is correct.

Steve Jordan plays drums, just as he did during the band’s US tour last fall. He replaces Charlie Watts who passed away in August last year. When asked if the Rolling Stones are considering quitting after their 60th birthday tour, Keith Richard’s answer is as expected: – I do not think any of us think in those terms.

I especially like this one last sentense, hehehe …

Keith & The X-Pensive Winos play NYC tonight!!

Keith & The X-Pensive Winos play NYC tonight!!

Just a few hours and Love Rocks NYC starts!

As headliners, I think that they will play near the end of the show… they rehearsed 3 songs apparently.

Judging from the picture of Keith’s tweet below, Charley Drayton doesn’t play the bass tonight.
‘Sprock’ from Twitter wrote: “Will Lee bass (replacing Charlie Drayton who is drumming for Bob Dylan on tour now)” – so that’s why …

Announcement moved to March 14?

The Rolling Stones - Houston 2019

It’s possible, that the official announcemend of this year’s tour could be moved to March 14.

English tabloid The Sun has a notice towards that date. This could be true, because usually we expect some signs to appear from the Stones’ social media. But so far, it has been quiet…

The article, too, suggested Liverpool’s Anfield stadium as one possible tour-stop. Apart from one or two gigs in London’s Hyde Park, that would be the only other venue in the UK so far. But if they moved the official tour-announcement from March 9 to March 14, then there’s apparently still time left for more negotiations… In the end, let’s remember, we most probably will get a list of 14 tour dates! Can’t wait!! 🙂

The Mirror, too, adds to this story, mentioning ‘a source‘ telling The Sun (among other things), that the next album of The Rolling Stones could see the light of day already (ggg) THIS year!

The source went on to tease that the band are going to release a brand new album this year as well as they celebrate their landmark year.

Mick and Kieth [sic] have reportedly been working on new material in Jamaica and are now busy recording their new tracks as they put finishing touches to the new album.

The Rolling Stones - Houston 2019

 

Another possible tour-stop: Amsterdam!

The Rolling Stones, No Filter Tour, Miami, August 30, 2019

Among the list of possible venues, we can consider Amsterdam added to the list of possible venues!

So one of the 14 expected shows this year could happen in Amsterdam. That’s what’s the rumors say. And if I look back on similar rumors before the official tour announcements of earlier Stones tours, by this time, these rumors more rather than less turn out to be true.

What do we have so far?

First – the official tour announcement is expected Monday, March 7

Second – the tour will most probably take place during June and July 2022

Third – we can expect about 14 shows all across Europe.

Fourth – as this is the 60th anniversary of The Rolling Stones playing live on stage, and given the age Mick, Keith and Ronnie have reached, it’s just natural that they keep on playing once the Stones tour-engine has gathered momentum. I don’t think, they are looking forward to get over it, but rather would prefer to never stop rolling. But, alas, that’s not what’s gonna happen. But let’s just wait and see, how the tour proceeds. I won’t be surprised it they add more dates at the end of the official list of dates. You can be sure that this band will receive offers for gigs enough to keep them playing for us for the next 2 years every day and or more. But that’s not gonna happen. Nevertheless, they enjoy playing live too much to stop earlier than nescessary… we should not loose hope about more dates added to this tour – on top of the 14 dates that are going to be announced. I for one, won’t… 😉

Folks, I must say it again: as fans, we can… no, we must consider us  e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y  lucky to be fans of THIS band. 60 fucking years…
Jeezus, holy crap, I love this band!

The Rolling Stones, No Filter Tour, Miami, August 30, 2019

Madrid added for possible tour date!

Stones in Spain, 1990

According to mariskalrock.com, The Rolling Stones could play Madrid this summer!

Under the headline “The Rolling Stones could be about to confirm a tour of Europe: Concerts in Spain?” (The Rolling Stones podrían estar a punto de confirmar gira por Europa: ¿Conciertos en España?), the site mariskalrock.com suggests, that Madrid could well be among the list of concerts, that the Stones will deliver this summer!

Stones in Spain, 1990

Rumored timetable for the 2022 Europe Tour

The Rolling Stones in Austin - 19-11-2021

Austrian tabloid OE24.AT again shares more detailed information with us.

Under the Headline “Neue Stones-Pläne für Wien” (New plans by the Stones for Vienna – accessible for me via VPN with standpoint Europe), they write:

The Stones keep event organizers and fans on their toes. The tour is rescheduled. Right now, there are two possible dates for the Happel Stadium in Vienna: July 22nd or 23rd.

July 22 was planned – now the new routing of the Rolling Stones could postpone the sensational Vienna concert in the Ernst Happel Stadium by one day. Mick Jagger wants a three-day regeneration break between the respective performances and since the Stones are now planning a concert in Lyon, France on July 19th, the greatest hits show in Vienna could probably “only” happen on July 23rd. A date, that was originally planned for Munich, but the Stones now want to rock there on June 5th.

With their new tour plans, the Rock-Dions [sic – they probably meant ‘Dinos’] are keeping organizers and fans on their toes: The tour plan is currently being finalized and is being improved almost daily. They collect offers for 14 European concerts. However, everything should be fixed by March 9th. On that date, the Stones want to officially announce their 60th anniversary tour. The Vienna concert date is considered to be fixed – either July 22nd or July 23rd.

Woah, that’s nice! 14 dates!!
