Hilarious:

The Rolling Stones - 50 & Counting Opening Night - Los Angeles Staples Center - YouTube

Man. This is bad. Like some random bloke said on the comments, i was fuckin sure this video was edited by someone trying to make fun of them. This thing is official! I mean, wtf? This is really bad...

 

[LemonMelon]

Hahaha the best part was the horribly mangled Wild Horses montage that jumped from mid verse, to chorus, then to the solo then the outro with no proper transitions. The band sounded horrible and the crowd shots were embarrassingly unenthused. Whoever edited that should be sued.

If you have any interest in paying $500 to see them don't watch that video.

 

[LemonMelon]

Fucking hell, on second viewing I noticed the zoom-in on the $50/$75 merchandise. They're determined to show everything great about Stones concerts, aren't they?

Btw, do you know how much it costs, the Brussels Affair limited box? I dunno if you are familiarised with the Stones, but the Brussels 73 gigs were always considered the ultimate live Stones. And it was only released on MP3 and on this box.

It's more expensive than a used car.

On the plus side, I love their song Sway. That's a good one.

 

[djerdap]

Sway is one of my favourite songs of theirs. Mick Taylor is the man. It truly is bizarre that he is on tour with them and playing only one song per night. I don't think it's a health thing since he plays shows quite often. At least do a 5-song set with gems like Sway, Can't You Hear Me Knocking and Ventilator Blues if you don't want to do 3-guitar arrangements for the whole set. The best musician in the band and the guitarist during their golden phase is getting the same amount of attention as Gwen Stefani. Mind-boggling.

Fantastic show last night! Highlights for me were Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler with Mick Taylor, choral arrangement of You Can't Always Get what You Want, Mick talking about LA traffic, Honky Tonkin Woman, Sympathy for the Devil and of course Dave Grohl guesting on BITCH.

[Outsider]

Yes it was!! The audience was so energetic and I didn't sit down at all. I'm so grateful I had the chance to seem them on this tour since I've never had the opportunity before. Amazing. I am so happy right now.

 

[djerdap]

Well it was about time.

Spoiler

They played Sway and Can't You Hear Me Knocking with Taylor last night.

 

[DRay9911]

Not directed at you, but i'm noticing more and more that MT fans are never satisfied. I'm really beginning to dislike them.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Anybody know who the special guest is tonight at the show in Chicago? I'm thinking about grabbing a last minute ticket, but if it's anybody lame I'll probably save the money.

 

[djerdap]

Taylor Swift, believe it or not. So it must be fate for you.

Have fun at the show

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm guessing he'll go for a $650 ticket.

[DRay9911]

kinda wish i had gone now too...

not that it matters, but they sang 'as tears go by'

 

[LemonMelon]

Swift's ass looked very nice tonight.

She dressed down for you, GAF, and you missed it.

Even if that necessitated him selling 2 pints of blood and a quart of

[martha]

Wow. She's smaller than him.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

She seems like she's not totally standing up straight there. On one of her old MySpace profile things she said she's 5'11". How tall is Mick?

 

[IWasBored]

I'm So Much Taller Online?



My drivers license says I'm 5'9". I'm pretty sure I never made it past 5'8".

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I think I'm about 5'9" right on the money. Haven't been officially measured in a long time, though.

Mick's like 4 feet tall.
