Good man, but I'm not going to the Stones alone. I met a girl here and we're going together. Make sure to tell me BSS is and how absolutely pumped I should be. Also if Amy, Feist, and Emily are all there.
Most importantly Feist
I'm going to state for the record that Broken Social Scene (and all its little side-projects) is the most overrated Canadian band since Loverboy.
I saw the Stones here in Halifax on Sept. 23rd. The details of the show are a bit of a blur (
) but it absolutely
poured that day - it was the single biggest rainfall of the year by nearly double! That being said, I was about halfway between the main stage and where the b-stage came out to you - and it was an AMAZING show. The Stones came out and played just as hard here in the rain as they would have on a clear night, and they rocked hard. Nearly every song was extended into a jam (Sympathy for the Devil
) and they played some pretty rare tunes, too.
We had Sloan, Alice Cooper, and Kanye West opening for them, too. I didn't catch Sloan, but Alice Cooper played one of the best opening gigs I've ever seen, and although Kanye seemed like he didn't really want to be here (he'd play a song, then leave the stage for 10 minutes, and then come back for one more track and leave again - I think he only did about 4 or 5 full tunes) when he was on, he was
on.
One of the best concerts I've ever been to, and that's even while I was hypothermic and soaked for twelve hours in autumn rain!
If you get a chance to go, shell out the money and see the Stones. You won't regret it, and you might not get another chance in the future.
