Greep show was fantastic, although I missed the last (my favourite) song due to having to leave to catch a coach... which ended up being delayed by an hour anyway!

The larger band set up complements the new music so well, everything sounded so massive and spacious.

@Mizmazzle yep those are better than any of mine or even all of them combined haha

@Tobi love him! One of my favorite concert photos I’ve taken:

Nick Cave is one of those guys who doesn't look to have aged in the last 20 years.

Finally went with my brother …

… to see the master of sorrow, the highpriest of despair and his mass of joy and hope. Pretty unctuous, and if it wasn‘t him you could say pathetic. But he can do that, he can sing, scream and whine his songs for 2 hrs and it‘s wonderful and you believe.

Only very few questions remain. Like, does he dye his hair? Or, does Nick Cave sleep in pyjamas, and if so are they chambray? Black chambray, of course.

Very happy the Rolling Stones booked one Canadian date on their last tour. Rumours they are ready to confirm some European dates?

[Mizmazzle]

@les-l rad!!

@Mizmazzle tried to share a couple videos but too large, but do know 81 year old Sir Mick Jagger is still running back and forth on a large stage 2 straight hours. I don’t believe 2024 will be the last time i see them live!

[Mizmazzle]

@les-l man I hope not. One of my favorite bands, Widespread Panic, opened for them over the summer when they were here in Denver and I just couldn’t make it happen due to traveling. I was so bummed.

@les-l Sounds like you’re a serious Stones fan. I would highly recommend reading a book called Why Charlie Watts Matters. You don’t have to be a drummer to appreciate/enjoy it. A lot of great anecdotes. I am a drummer and I came away with a new level of respect and appreciation for what he did for the band.

[steelworker]

@Matt Id like to see the Furs

[les.l]

@Jett129 Thank you, i have not heard of that book but i too have immense respect for Charlie Watts, and yes a serious Stones fan. I will track the book down and definitely give it a read!

[Jett129]

@les-l Charlie Watts actually called the author up and thanked him for writing the book. I had sent my copy to @SKT, not sure if he still has it or he’s sent it along to someone else. Pretty sure you could get it on Amazon. Sympathy For The Drummer.

His former home (1976-83) is currently on the market - reduced to £5.5m ($7m+).
You would have to put up with me as a “neighbour”, mind you…

@Jett129 sorry guys just now seeing this and it looks like @les-l now has a copy headed his way. I still have the copy Jett sent me and it’s made the rounds with my friends. If anyone wants to read it, give me a shout and I’ll send it your way. Be fun to keep it in the forum family.
