Review by Neil Morganstein

The crowd went crazy as Bono joins the boys for I Know Its
Only Rock n Roll. Bono does some improvising with going to
a gogo and changes the lyrics to going to Chicago. The
first part of the the show features more rarities including
a Peter Tosh cover as well as a bluesy version of I Just
Want to Make Love to You. The Stones always finish strong
with the classics Bitch, Honky Tonk Woman, Jumpin jack
flash, Brown Sugar and Tumblin Dice as the only encore.
Overall the smaller venue allows Mick to really connect
with the audience. The acoustics were rough , but the sound
men could do a better job.


Review by Robert Bagel

The part of the evening most everyone will talk about came
during It's Only Rock and Roll. There was general disbelief
for several seconds as Bono of U2 appeared in a neat black
suit, his hair seeming shorter or more slicked back than on
the Elevation Tour. He stood hesitating near Charlie for a
while, and then joined Mick front and center. Twisting the
usual lyrics, Bono sang to Mick "Do you think that you're
the only man in town?" Mick planted tongue in cheek and
rolled his eyes, making for an extraordinary rock and roll
moment that was nothing short of classic. Bono seemed a bit
stiff in his black suit, in the midst of the literally
rolling Stones who had already sweated well through their
colorful garb. As Keith interacted with Bono, and Ronnie
sneaked in behind hitting Bono in the ass with the neck of
his guitar, the U2 singer loosened up. This paid off with
Bono doing great ad-libs as he does with his own band's
songs, singing "Going to a go-go" during the usual "I know
it's only rock'n'roll" part, evolving it into "Going to
Chicago", which Mick joined in on. Bono then went on with
the "I like it" portions, expounding further into how
he "Loves Keith" and "Loves SIR Mick". Bono got off a few
characteristically great screams of "I like it!" before he
vanished from stage as quickly as he appeared. Even
controlling for the easy guest appearance appeal of it,
this was one of the very highest points of the show.

The late treats in the show came in the form of Rip This
Joint and Can't You Hear Me Knocking, with the latter such
a well organized journey through Bobby's sax, Mick's
harmonica, and Ron's guitar-all the while Charlie, Darryl,
and Keith nailing the rhythm-that I hope it becomes as much
a part of every set as Jumping Jack Flash.

As soon as pics surface would someone please post them!!

I already posted this on the news forum but I wanted to put it here so someone would find me some PICS!! Please let it stay?! :uhoh: :angel:

Oh, don't worry! It is definitely staying...PLEBA is kind of its own little community, so I wouldn't close a thread just because it is dicussed in another forum. I just linked to the thread because it had more information and other people's comments in it that I thought some PLEBAns might be interested in. :)

Just read this on MTV website
Long considered a rock god, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has a new goddess, and it's not a slinky, young babe ? it's his new album.

Goddess in the Doorway is due November 6, his publicist said, and Jagger's first solo disc in eight years includes such highlights as a track with U2's Bono called "Joy.".:eeklaugh:

I wonder if there are any bootlegs out there????!!

That's old. His solo album came out LAST Nov. 6.There was a scene in the special 'Being Mick' that showed Bono recording that song with Mick and then they went to lunch together!

THANKS for the pic LadyMac! I was sure some would turn up! More will surely show up so keep looking girls!!

From the Chicago Tribune:

Bono paid a little visit to some old friends while in town Monday to tape an "Oprah Winfrey Show" on Third World debt. He strolled unannounced onto the Aragon Ballroom stage to join the Rolling Stones on "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It)" on the final night of the British rock band's weeklong, three-concert Chicago residency.

It took a few seconds for Bono's presence to register on the audience; the singer wore wraparound shades, a black suit and looked as if he'd put on a few pounds since U2's last tour, resembling the lost Blues Brother. But fans gasped and cheered as the U2 front man began trading lines with Mick Jagger, then improvised a bit of Smokey Robinson's "Going to a Go-Go," while the Stones singer smiled. "That was a surprise to me," Jagger cracked.
 
Hey!!

He did NOT get fatter!! :angry:

Anyway, that's so cool how he improvised Smokey Robinson even though it wasn't his show, then again, I like to think that Bono upstaged Mick. :D There were only two reasons why I bought Goddess in the Doorway: 1) God Gave Me Everything, which rocked, 2) Joy, Bono's appearance on which I learned of after reading the list of guest artists on the back. Bono outdid Mick on that song; Mick's voice sounded weaker.
