@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.

@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…

[SKT]

@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.

Such a great way to celebrate 20th wedding anniversary with my wife. Nick and the Seeds have an incredible way of turning arena into a intimate gig. Overwhelmed - is what we felt.

[Mizmazzle]

@Nocturama that actually seems like a pretty solid deal at $7mill. I mean, that’s a lot of cash…but the cost of homes these days is staggering and that mansion and lot of land looks massive.

Aussies! I recommend you check out this incredible artist as she tours your beautiful country.

[Tago Mago]

Not technically a concert, but this is on the list for next year:

[endo]

wow @Tago-Mago great choice

[Tago Mago]

@endo since my wife and I went to see Nabucco (albeit in Regensburg, not the Arena) we will try to get tickets for Aida. Love the atmosphere of the Arena, such a special venue

[endo]

Haven't seen Aida and haven't been to the Verona arena yet, but it must be awesome. Have seen Nabuco once in the State Opera in Prague.

[Tago Mago]

I went in 2002 to see Il trovatore and in 2019 on my honeymoon to see La Traviata. Wonderful place, truly special

[Matt]

So now I have to decide if I want to go all in and buy MJ Lenderman, Father John Misty with Destroyer and fucking Nick Cave tickets on Friday or do I choose and stay married.

[prpx]

@Matt - stay married and buy fucking Nick Cave tickets!

Another gem last night - Steve Coleman and Five Elements. Some weird and exciting counting patterns (not an expert but i think indian ones) and african influences melodies.
Give them a listen on spotify, i somehow missed Steve Coleman so far and now, enjoying his work very much.

Arena di Verona has a very electrifying atmosphere!
Especially in the late summer evenings.
