It’s possible that The Stones will be in New York next week for the promotion of Hackney Diamonds!
showbiz411.com tells us, that Mick, Keith and Ronnie will be in NY next week and will appear on Jimmy Fallon’s show – either together or seperately, that’s not clear as yet. At Jimmy’s site, you can see Ronnie scheduled for Wednesday, October 18th and Keith for Friday, October 20th.
It’s rumoured as well, that “there is a 99% chance the Stones will put on a live show in New York for fans next week” in a club or small theater…
Well, that they will do promotion in NYC seems obvious and very likely; the club show – OMG, that would be a dream come true. All three of them are in good condition and even have practiced playing so maybe there’s really some chance to see them play a little set in a small venue next week.
They definitely should do this, IMHO!
Rank as one of best albums? Come on, let’s not overstate a highly album with guest Lady Gaga. Impressive for a 60 year old band but doubt many of us are sitting in our music room in 5 years and choosing to listen to Hackney Diamonds over any of the albums you mention except maybe Blue & Lonesome which is fun, but by no means a classic album generally or for the Stones.
HACKNEY DIAMONDS has universally gotten terrific reviews. It may rank as one of the Stones’ best albums, which is certainly saying a lot. BEGGARS’ BANQUET, LET IT BLEED, STICKY FINGERS, EXILE ON MAIN STREET, SOME GIRLS, TATOO YOU, & BLUE & LONESOME are all benchmark albums. Of course they’ve had flashes of brilliance on other albums over the years, but this is an album full of great songs for their songbook. If they do play live, I hope we can watch via YouTube or another streaming source.
Masters of marketing, those Rolling Stones… doesn’t get much better than what they pull off!
