The Bobby Keys film is great. Some great interview stuff with Keith & Charlie. I waited out the TM waiting room. Took about 15 minutes. I ended up getting the exact tickets I wanted in Seattle. ADA seats in the front of the upper deck, Keith side, about even with the end of the catwalk (50 yard line). $100 each, not cheap but not out of line. Could be way worse. We've sat there for some spectacles (U2, Metallica, G 'n R) & the perspective is very good. & the sound there at Century Link is excellent. I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I've seen the Stones over 20 times from a c

SEAHAWKS!!!!!!

just arrived from australia. stunning!

I just finished the book. It was pretty good. I thought it started stronger than it finished. The farther along it went in the timeline, it seemed the less was said. A little rushed. 1 notable exception was the stuff about Mavis Staples (& Dylan a little). Overall I'd recommend it but it wasn't quite as compelling as say the Keith Richards & Bruce Springsteen autobiographies.

word is $50-500, with deluxe packages

Just because of Neil, I splurged & spent $200 a ticket. He looks like he is having time of his life up there. Was worth it just for Don't Dream & the Petty tribute. There were many other fine moments though. I like Stevie but in small doses. They pretty much alternated between all 3 lead singers. Stevie had a little problem during Gypsy but rebounded nicely. The pre Stevie stuff was all great. All the Things You Do, Black Magic Woman & Oh Well were all stellar. I think you would enjoy the show. & there is a built in bathroom/more beer break. Is called the drum solo haha. Too lo

Ya, that was pretty funny. I saw Wilco open for REM around the time of Summerteeth. Great double bill. I miss REM!!!!

The Fleetwood Mac show last night in Tacoma was great. The new blood in the band has turned out to be a good thing. Different vibe now, happier. Stevie & Christine were spot on for the most part. Musically, Mike Campbell is the leader of the band. He spoke more last night than all the times I ever saw him with Petty. He's in a league of his own as a guitar player & this was very much in evidence during the show. Fantastic. He even sang lead on Oh Well. Neil Finn is 1 of my all time faves & he fit in very nicely with the ladies. His take on Lindsey's songs was fresh & very very

will do

Fleetwood Mac tonight. I'm a huge Neil Finn fan, so I'm pretty excited about it. Have seen a few vids of Mike Campbell tearing it up, too. I like Lindsey Buckingham plenty but this new lineup is interesting to me.

I'm about 4 chapters in. Very good so fa, better than most of this sort of thing. The story about not being able to get in to see the Ramones is priceless. & very accurate I think. I hung out with the Ramones a bit after a show just before Dee Dee quit. They obviously weren't getting along. Johnny stormed out to walk (long ways) back to the hotel. The way Jeff characterizes Dee Dee & Joey were exactly how they talked & acted. Very funny: "its raining, let me get my galoshes" haha. I would bet Joey actually said that. The show with Replacements opening for X sounds like it was a doo

BV, the moderator is pretty wired in here. been at it for 40 years, maybe more. think there will be 1-3 shows more than this. really excited that seattle made the cut this time. word is the official announcement is going to be tomorrow. https://www.iorr.org/tour19/ The Rolling Stones North America Tour 2019! Solid Rumors so far: 1. Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, FL 2. TIAA Bank Field, Jacksonville, FL 3. NRG Stadium Houston, TX 4. Jazz Fest, New Orleans, LA 5. Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA 6. Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA 7. Broncos Stadium at Mile High Denver, CO 8. CenturyLink Field, Se

I haven't started reading the book yet (in the middle of the latest John Sandford, a fave) but I flipped through it. A little disappointed that there are no pictures!

here we go again. north american tour in the spring. 14-16 shows. luckily, seattle has made the cut this time. the stones have been an important part of my life & i'll be there. i've seen them over 20 times since 1978. i know they are well past their glory days but i'm sure it will still be fun. woo hoo!

the remaster of "and justice for all" is a sledgehammer to the brain. i mean that in the best possible way.

just picked up the book at B & N. next up on the read pile!

lots of meat products there, haha. if i were going i would make a pilgrimage to Buddy Guy's Legends blues club. Buddy is a national treasure & he's getting up there in age. he was 1 of the last of the blues guys to come out of the cotton fields down south & migrate to chicago. IMHO 1 of the greatest guitar players ever. i've seen him several times & he is always great. i got to hang out & have a drink with him once. nice man. i'm told he pops into the club unannounced, so its not just a situation where they are using his name. he actually at least partially owns it. looks like

i'm at the point where i refuse to buy tickets a year in advance of a show. would love to see him but i saw million dollar piano in vegas & i'm good with leaving it at that. elton was my first rock show in 197cough cough.

it's worth it if you are big fan. more casual fan, get the 2 disc version. i got the full meal deal & am enjoying it. i haven't watched the dvd yet but looking forward to it.

hawks put up a good fight. i thought it was going to be a slaughter.

great show & recording. i picked the right night to go!

Thanks, TCP. I'm just not in shape to go. Luckily, I'll have chemo before next show I have (Fleetwood Mac in November). Appreciate the offer though. I was able to off the tickets at work. Chuck
