Some happy few Parisians received a mysterious invitation. Monday, October 29, the management company Carmignac invites the cream of the crop to an exceptional concert at the theatre Mogador. The "bristol" does not mention the title of the show or the object of the invitation, but a tantalizing "the biggest secret event of the year", "the biggest secret of the year". Nothing that much! The musical Sister Act, who currently plays on the stage of this theatre in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, does not appear to justify a such frontispiece. The well-informed rumor evokes a secret concert by the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger and his friends unveiled the dates of four benefits to London and then to the United States in November and December. This "show case" Parisian will therefore look like a dress rehearsal. Behind closed doors, as mobile phones and cameras will have to remain in the dressing room. The Stones are well worth a moment of reflection

The Rolling Stones to play tiny warm-up gigs, says Ronnie Wood
The band may perform under their Cockroaches alias

The Rolling Stones will play small warm-up shows,
possibly to take place in Paris, for their forthcoming
sold-out dates in London and New York, Ronnie Wood
says.

:aimamaSpeaking to NME, bassist Ronnie Wood
said the band may perform under their Cockroaches
guise in breaks from rehearsing in Paris. Speaking
about the veteran band's rehearsal schedule, he said:
"We’re all making a concentrated effort of being there
on time every day, we start at three o’clock in the
afternoon, we go through to dinner time, we have
one break and so far everything has been [like] an
operation, nose to the grindstone. We wanna give
200 per cent."

He said: "There’s going to be little club gigs that we’re
gonna surprise ourselves to do as well, we’ll bung a
few in next week or the week after, so look out for
any Cockroaches gigs or whatever! I don’t know
who we’ll be billed as but we’ll turn up somewhere
and put a few to the test. Tiny, 200, 300 people kind
of places."

Last week, The Rolling Stones announced two huge
London dates for November. The rock legends will
play London's O2 Arena on November 25 and 29
to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They will also
be playing two nights at the Prudential Center in
Newark, New Jersey in the US on December 13
and 15. All the dates sold out in minutes.

Its been mentioned in one of the other threads that before the talk of this (highly likely) private gig leaked, there were rumours of another Paris area club show Thursday- secret location announced on radio, 500-700 fans, some tickets available to public, very cheap prices.

It'll be interesting to see if that show is still going to take place - or if the 21st century version of the Stones' idea of touching base with their audience at an intimate pre-tour warm up gig is solely to play a corporate show for an assets investments company.

Considering they marked the 45th anniversary of their performing debut on the last tour with a  private gig for Deutsche Bank executives, it really wouldnt be a surprise, I suppose.


Edit - I originally typed 'tomorrow' (ie, Wednesday) for this rumoured show. My mistake. Thursday 25th was the rumoured date.

Hold on kids... more news coming!!!

---

Some photos up on facebook seem to be suggesting they're playing this place tomorrow -

http://www.trabendo.fr/

At present there is no show listed in their calendar for Thursday 25th October. It also holds about 700 people so its starting to tick all the boxes.

Trabendo is a very good place !  it may  be the 30 /10/2012  ... :wtf3 :wtf3 :scary :tongui :kissmyass :whatapostronnie :forfucksake

IF this show takes place - whether its tomorrow or anytime after - it seems that there'll be an announcement in the morning, maybe on radio. Theres no details yet of course as the concert is still 'officially' not happening. Word of mouth seems to be the best bet - either that or make sure youre close to the venue in case the tickets go on sale there.

Should emphasise that at present this info remains merely speculation.

To think that 20 years ago I flew to Paris specifically, not for a concert, but to see 'At The Max' at this place, La Géode, at the same complex :

This is the Trabendo, in case anyone's interested  - from what I'm reading, it has recently reopened after an extensive facelift

A '30-40 minute showcase', according to a report by Laure Nartian of France 2, shared on tumblr.com earlier this morning

http://www.francetv.fr/culturebox/les-rolling-stones-au-trabendo-interview-exclusive-du-directeur-de-la-salle-122865

She has also published an interview with the club owner :

http://www.francetv.fr/culturebox/les-rolling-stones-au-trabendo-interview-exclusive-du-directeur-de-la-salle-122865

"It started ten days ago. Around the Rolling Stones, and Encore Productions, the concert organizer, visited all the rooms of Paris small capacity between 300 and 1,000 people," recalls Alexis Bernier, co-director of Electric Dreams.

"They came at Trabendo twice. When we signed the contract, five days ago, we did not know yet that would be the group. We felt that something was afoot. Boss Production Still, who has worked for Prince, we just said "now you can not dream finest artist to your room." But from there we could only speculate. "

"In the end, they chose us and we are very proud, because the room was what they were looking for: a place warm and rocking. But what we are most proud of is that the Rolling Stones will play on our equipment, with our sound, our lights. I think the layout of the site has also worked in our favor over the competition. "

I hope somebody gets a good recording...I'll check out DIME and Youtube first thing in the morning!:)

what time does it get going?

Tickets say 20.00 hours.

They also describe the event as  'A Short Warm Up Set'

It doesnt mention anything about an opening act, so this really could be a 'blink and you'll miss it' event.

I'm thinking about that LA show Jagger did in 2001 at El Rey to promote 'Goddess In the Doorway'  - it was only seven songs (including one song performed twice).

So what's the point in booking a club for a special show and perform only a handful of songs ?

So what if they screw up here & there. They do that in regular shows anyway.

Every club show the Stones have ever done before theyve tried to make it as hard as possible for scalpers.

With this one - you were allowed to buy TWO tickets even though only about 220 were available to the public. The buyer's name is on both tickets. Both ticket holders have to bring proof of ID, even though the second ticket holder didnt have to be there when the tickets were sold.

Absolutely nothing done, it seems, to prevent the lucky customer buying two tickets and selling one off for thousands of euro. Apparently, scalpers were all over the place.

You couldnt make this shit up. At a show thats supposedly aimed at fans and which has great prices, they still cant/wont even bother trying to do anything about scalpers.

Ahh. So simple, a monkey could do it.

So finally instead of the fans calling or texting or now FBing or Twitting we have THE OFFICIAL GORILLA doing our job!!! Welcome Grrrrrrregory!

The @RollingStones have arrived at La Trabendo, back stage and ready to rock n roll! #RollingStonesLive #ParisShuffle

Very cool, do we have any friends in the crowd? Scanning the faces for someone familiar..

Everything seems to be ready... Soundcheck went smooth.

I'm taking my pants off!  The Stones will soon be on the stage!!!

Came home tonight to find an e-mail in my inbox from a German Stones fan - and someone I dont really know but who has mailed me in the past - saying he had got two tickets for tonight's show and was offering me his spare one for face value. if I mailed him as soon as possible with my real name for authorisation.

Had I seen it and responded, I could have grabbed a flight and got there early this afternoon.

AAAAAAAARGHHHHH!


Sebi, you are a prince among men and I hope you have the best night of your life. A fantastic gesture by a REAL fan.

The Stones may use Twitter and FB to actualy update us in real time, feeing up on on scene people from doing what technology has allowed The Stones to do since... well, umm... the late 90's via a website and an update!

You're not kidding.

Basically, the reason why this website existed in the first place was because by early 1998 on the BTB tour (around the time the tour left the US) the Stones' then official site stopped posting setlist and even news updates.  It was a doity job and someone had to do it - so we did.

I'm having a pants off dance off just knowing the band is gonna be on stage!!!!!

The Rolling Stones‏@RollingStones

Ladies and Gentlemen, the @RollingStones are on stage!

Oh Gazza my heart breaks for you!! That was your gift from a true fan. omg you must be sick over it. I'm sick over hearing it. What a shame. Missed opportunity. OK well lets hope there is another club show in the works that you can get to. Dont cry in your beer.  Sending hugs...

Ah, not at all.  I don't expect any favours. There were people there who missed out today because of all this scalping nonsense. That's genuinely annoying as they'd made the effort to be there in the first place. I'll hold out for a London club date. Have no interest in the 02 shows but I'd fly to London on the drop of a hat for a small show if I got wind of it and thought I'd definitely get a ticket.

Not really, because the updates are coming at the start of the song. So if theyre posting the 3rd song 'Shattered' just 10 minutes after posting the first one, theyve taken 10 minutes to play two songs.

True, but they hardly need to rely on them to get a crowd of bonafide fans going in a club.

Its the Stones. Any audience should  be capable of getting worked up even if they played Puff The Magic Dragon.

IF I ever get to see them live I won't care if the play SMU and Brown Sugar over and over and I know it.  

I've been using my mp3 player and going from song to song as they do.  Next best thing to being there.

Offstage after main set now.

Presumably a JJF encore to follow?

JJF now.

throw in Brown Sugar, JJF and Satisfaction you have the last three of the arena shows, add whatever Keith's two will be... plus one two like Live With Me or Dead Flowers or the other reheased deeper cuts!!! and I think we see what you're paying $800 for...

I agree. They are practicing set lists, not just random songs from their catalog.

True, although most warm up gigs take place a week or two before the tour starts proper.

The first 'proper' show isnt for exactly a month yet.

But with so many spies out in the world reporting about what they are doing in the studio, there are no surprises anymore. As they practice more they will fit in/remove songs from the setlist.

Brown Sugar now

interesting no Keith song... he has done one in most warm up gigs, if not all...????

I was thinking the same thing about KEEF's set, maybe there wont be one anymore? That started because, uh I forgot why, it was some kind of an argument that caused it. Maybe its all behind them at this point in time. There wasnt a KEEF set in the beginning so maybe they dropped it.

RPM Club 1994
Horseshoe Tavern 1997

Keith has been singing a lead vocal on one song since 1972 and on two songs since 1989.

Reason it wasnt there beforehand was because he never sang a bonafide lead vocal on a studio song until 1969.

This is an abbreviated set. There's no need for Mick to take a break if theyre only playing 70 minutes.

so good!!

I dont know about how the rest of you Rocks Offers feel but I'm completely happy with the club show setlist. You know they rehearsed these songs and we did get the new Doom & Gloom, and Route 66 & Champange and Reefer are relatively rare. They threw us a bone. Midnight Rambler is always a treat and not played continuously, personally I love that song played live, its one of the best songs they do! OK I know the MISS YOU haters are all over that song but its one of MICK's favorates so that always makes it to the setlist, as does Brown Sugar. Overall I think it was a good setlist accept they didnt do as many songs as a live concert. For $750+ they better up the number of songs!  Cant wait to hear reviews regarding quality and performance!

They are saving Lady Jane.
They will debut it when I am in the house!!!!!!!!!

It's just another story!

I think I would've been quite happy with that setlist, had I been among the fortunate few.

Have they EVER started a show with Rt 66?  (By the way, that was written by a guy who lived a few blocks from where I'm sitting now...Bobby Troup of Harrisburg PA)

Midnight Rambler in a club. If that doesn't appease us, we're just too damned picky.

So where's the torrent? What's taking so long?  :wtf3

I need a day off!

So nice to be watching setlists with our crazy RO family.
Nice to see you guys, Angie and Albert!

As far as I'm aware, at least one (the first) of the El Mocambo shows opened with Route 66, but the setlists and running order of those two shows remain a bit hazy.

Aside from that one - never.

Review from "Libération"  

French :

http://www.liberation.fr/depeches/2012/10/26/concert-surprise-des-rolling-stones-a-paris_855834

English (sort of):

The Rolling Stones 50-year career, gave Thursday evening a concert in Paris more than an hour to a few hundred lucky having won a place at 15 euros in a small room in which the public is left won.

"It was crazy, the audience was completely loose, it was amazing to see them in these conditions, especially at this price," exclaimed Eric, a fan, leaving the concert by the legendary group at Trabendo, small room in the north-east of Paris.

The 350 tickets for sale on the morning were snapped up in a few minutes.

Many guests completed the public from a gauge of 700 seats, including Daphne Guinness, Natalia Vodianova, Henri Leconte, Raphael or Nagui.

Shortly before the concert around 2100, the four musicians came to the front door saloon artists and signed a few autographs before winning the boxes.

During the concert around 1:20, instead of the originally announced 30 minutes, the Stones played a dozen pieces, launching the festivities with "Route 66" before singing hits like "Start me up" or "Miss you "and a previously unreleased their latest anthology," Doom and Gloom ".

"I can not believe we are still standing. I thought  one or two of us would be sitting but we're not" launched Mick Jagger during the concert, according to the official Twitter account of the Stones.

"It was amazing. I would move as well as Mick and be as enthusiastic as him at his age," welcomed former tennis player Henri Leconte at the end of the concert.

"It was fantastic. These guys make you feel so young, like a child of ten years," exclaimed the flagship model Natalia Vidianova, accompanied by her son.

"They were excellent, I am a fan for 50 years, I ran early to get tickets this morning. Knew they were repeated in Paris, he was going to pass something. The sound was very good, powerful, "said a spectator fan.

"It was crazy, it is always the best. Was jumping from everywhere, the public was furious," said another fan, George, telling that Mick Jagger had a few words in French and played the harmonica.

After the doors closed, the organizers were let free in the room a few fans who were unable to obtain the precious (tickets).

"I waited two hours, but I found myself 3 meters from Mick Jagger. It was so good to see so few committee," testified Sonia, one of his fans who could attend the concert at the last minute.

Front of the room, some fans evoked rumors about new concerts surprises that could organize the Stones, including Olympia.

Information representation for private investment funds Mogador Monday has already filtered.

Short review on ROCKERPARIS:
http://rockerparis.blogspot.fr/2012/10/the-rolling-stones-trabendo-paris-oct.html

Oh no not you again, glad I didn't bump into you, we could have chatted about the South if Paris, your trip to the country side and the barn...

Anyway, I Guess I can die and go to heaven now after seeing them dead center row 2,FMS !

...Ok Im not dead it seems so I'll make a couple of comments...obviously it's hard to be very objective after spending an hour with Mick about 5 feet away ! The best part was the wait...well not really but we knew the best moment of the day, hum the year...ok let's make it the decade was ahead of us!

They played for 1 hour and 10 minutes and were clearly happy to be here, smiles, eye contact...Mick looks above the crowd mostly but Keith looks you in the white of the eye, fascinating! Keith played what he had to play perfectly (not the rhythm guitar monster he was in 1972/73 obviously), no bum notes I could hear and a monstrous slashing guitar on JJF, too bad he didn't get a vocal spot. Not enough interplay I found with Mick on MR like during the NS tour on the B-Stage, instead Ronnie was noodling around rather unconvincingly. Ronnie was a bit messy but the overall sound didn't help, it was very loud and not very distinct, in fact Mick sang a few times to a closed mike...Of course Chuck is the "musical leader" these days...counts in and Mick looks to him (signals one could say I guess) for the transitions and song endings, that's ok. Mick doesn't take things too seriously, how could he, with quite a lot if eye rolling, but does the job and enjoys it!

Best quip of the day, Mick after three songs in a very hot atmosphere: "You'd think some of us would be sitting by now but we're not !"

Too bad they didn't open with Doom & Gloom because as I thought it would it cooks big time on stage ! Route 66 of course was a great way to start too.

Rs.com have published a review :

THE ROLLING STONES PLAY SURPRISE GIG IN PARIS

Tonight the Rolling Stones pitched up at a club in the north of Paris for an impromptu secret gig and rocked the house to its foundations.

600 lucky fans packed into the tiny La Trabendo rock club to witness Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood launch through a quick-fire barrage of hits, as well as one or two surprises.

After rehearsing in Paris and recording two new belters, ‘Doom and Gloom’ and ‘One More Shot’, as soon as the band hit the stage it was obvious they were out to have a good time and to celebrate five decades of treading the boards.

Right from the start, The Stones went back to their Marquee Club roots and launched into ‘Route 66’. Mick bantered with the crowd in French whilst Keith Richards cranked out his bluesy licks on ‘It’s Only Rock and Roll’. Then the twin guitars of Ronnie Wood and Keith trading on the Muddy Waters classic ‘Champagne and Reefer’. Charlie Watts, as always, occupied the drum riser with quietly amused dignity whilst emphasising his rock ‘n’ roll credentials throughout the set. Charlie WAS good tonight.

With long term keyboardist Chuck Leavell and bass player Darryl Jones also in tow, the Rolling Stones tore through a set which included ‘Miss You’, ‘Tumbling Dice’, Start Me Up’, ‘Midnight Rambler’ and ‘Jumping Jack Flash’ and the live debut of new single ‘Doom and Gloom’.

Mick Jagger was all frenetic energy, strutting around the stage and working the crowd, whilst his Glimmer Twin Keith Richards proved he is a master guitar player, effortlessly throwing shapes, laughing and joking with the band, foot stomping as always, as he turned out classic riffs. Hissidekick Ronnie shone throughout but especially through the funk of ‘Miss You’.

This was the Rolling Stones stripped bare, a fast rattle through the Stones’ catalogue, drawing upon five decades worth of material, all sounding as fresh as ever.

The crowd – who only paid 15 Euros for their tickets- went wild as the Stones came back on stage for an encore of ‘Jumping Jack Flash’ and ‘Brown Sugar’…a hot and sweaty night, the Stones back where they belong.

They came to Paris, they played, they conquered…and after an hour’ set, they were gone.

Whilst thousands will witness the band on their four arena shows in London and New York later this year, few will get to experience the Stones deliver in such an intimate, sweaty environment – it was a night to remember.



Set List:

Route 66

It’s Only Rock and Roll

Shattered

When The Whip Comes Down

Champagne and Reefer

Doom and Gloom

Miss You

Tumbling Dice

Start Me Up

Midnight Rambler

Jumping Jack Flash

Brown Sugar

I wonder why they still write the keys of the songs on their set lists. They were on Charlie's plexiglass last tour too. I would think the band knows 'em by now!  :nooslajaleisk

Seeing that huge pic of Keith makes me so happy. Where's the naysayers now? I see a guitar god!!!

I LOVE that giant pic of Keith!  Makes me smile just looking at it.  Thanks for posting it.

I wish they would just take the mix of tonights gig, give to bob C. and have him ready it, and put it on Stones Archive... I would snatch it up so fast...  So many would... that review was nice, i have a feeling the knocked it out of the park tonight...

I'm sure the folks at the Rolling Stones website had that review written and ready to publish.

Any more of those giant pics?! Thanks, LadyJane! :)

What a Nice Setlist! They should give it to us for the 6th downloadable Stones Archive!

I would have like to be there for: Route 66 (I'm not sure but i think they only use it as an opener in 1963 for BBC show "This is R&B"), Champagne & Reefer (Only the Stones at last on that inFamous blues), & Midnight Rambler (It was already played in a small Club at the Marquee Club but it was too much long ago)!!!

For information... I remember Lady Jane being rehearsed at every tour since 1989... I only find out a 1989 mention in Nico, but I'm sure they rehearsed it some times... (And we don't talk about the sixties live version with Brian... they should have reheased it too! ;O))

ThankXXXXXXX for all the great posting here! Great Job everybody! & Thanks for the Big Keith picture, it makes my day!

One Love & Love Is Strong!

I remember reading articles in 1989 of them rehearsing Lady Jane and possibly including it in live shows.

What a buzz after so long! If i was there, my pants would have exploded.

MR was done at the Enmore in Sydney, but i guess thats slightly larger than a club show.

Look at that smile on Charlies face. Priceless.

From what I've been reading it sounds like the Stones are doing great. Where's the folks that said Keith could no longer do it?

Those who saw last year's videos I guess, you know the Costello , Summlin' and Little Red Rooster vids...looks like he was just terribly out of practice, works for me !

People were worried Keith might not bounce back... He definitely had fallen apart by 2006/07 and not everyone rebounds... There's been some breath holding to be sure.

Keith Richards is Keith Richards. Normal rules do not apply to him.

Anyone who didnt 'doubt' that Keith could pull it off is kidding themselves. He was quite visibly falling apart on a regular basis for much of the final year of the last tour, had undergone surgery after an injury which could have killed him, was having problems with seizures - and since the tour ended, by his own admission, he had hardly pulled on a guitar for years. Add to that the fact that the man is pushing 70, has long term issues with arthritis and is an alcoholic. Had he been in good shape before now, we wouldnt have had to wait this long for some shows.  People seem to forget some of the eye witness accounts of several of the shows post-Fiji - especially the early shows on the fall 2006 US tour and some of the European shows in 2007.

The main reason why the band have had sporadic rehearsals in the last year was to see if he could still cut it. There was no way Jagger was going out on the road and embarrass himself if Keith wasn't functional.  Chuck Leavell even mentioned a couple of weeks ago about how Mick, Ronnie and Charlie were playing well - and when he mentioned Keith he didnt just say that he was playing well, he mentioned that he'd 'built himself back up'. Without going into detail, there were absolutely concerns within the Stones camp about how limited his onstage playing would be and how to get around it.

There's definitely been some lifestyle changes in the recent past (he's pretty much off booze and was only drinking water the whole time they were at that Somerset House bash in July). And the first thing I looked at when I saw that great photo of him onstage with the guitar were his fingers. Maybe its just me but they dont look quite as gnarled as they used to be.

To expect him to be anywhere near the level he was even ten years ago, let alone 20, 30 or 40, is fanciful, but its refreshing to see him on a stage again and apparently playing well - and even better that its with the Stones

the rehearsal was better. It was very nice but you cant imagine building a Stones gig around it.

A friend of mine who knows Costello said that Elvis blamed himself for Keith's shambolic playing at the Chuck Berry tribute at the start of the year. Keith hadnt planned to play and was just handed a guitar which hadnt been strung properly.

Well, that Youtube link from yesterday has the boys cracking through two hot songs. I need more more MORE!

Good point, I now remember thinking the same yesterday during the show, I mean I had other things to "worry" about but I did take a close look at his fingers at some point after realizing he was playing fine and if I hadn't seen the scary close-up pics over the years I probably wouldn't have noticed anything. How it could have improved I'm not sure. On the other hand I was bit more alamed by his slightly glazed look, but there has to be some impact of his crazy lifestyle over the years ;-)

when you get home you'll be watching without pants.

It's tight and bouncy - those guitars bounce around those riffs man. It's beautiful.

Maybe its just me but they dont look quite as gnarled as they used to be. Good point, I now remember thinking the same yesterday during the show, I mean I had other things to "worry" about but I did take a close look at his fingers at some point after realizing he was playing fine and if I hadn't seen the scary close-up pics over the years I probably wouldn't have noticed anything. How it could have improved I'm not sure. On the other hand I was bit more alamed by his slightly glazed look, but there has to be some impact of his crazy lifestyle over the years ;-)

science and clean living, hopefully there's medications helping him heal... and if he's not getting loaded on booze, he won't swell up and it would clear up his mind too...

I'm listening to that clip again - there's nothing else like the Rolling Stones and never will be. We're living at a very good time. The best band in the land is at it again.

When the whip comes down sounds awesome! Stones will be Stones.  :wtf2

I'm so very proud of Keith!

No puede sacar fotos interesantes, incluso del interior solo tome una, habia mucho control y yo estaba junto a la chica del twitter oficial de los Stones (preciosa por cierto) y lo que menos queria era que me sacaran del evento.

Just wish that embarrassing GRRRRegory was not on stage with them...

Better than having Blondie up there...

NICE TO SEE THE BAND AGAIN AND KEITH LOOKIN BETTER.
BUT ITS LIKE A LOCOMOTIVE THAT HAS TURNED INTO A CHOO-CHOO TRAIN.

Wow I am so glad they did this show just before the public ticket sale for the Newark shows today. I'm going to try for the second show. MICK is so smart, talented, cute, adoreable, and sexy as hell! I love them all so much and I'm so happy they are pulling it off at 50 Years and Counting!

I hate to quote in ALL CAPS, but yes, it's chugging along a bit, odd, it didn't feel like that on the scene !

Are you guys listening to it through laptop speakers? I have it running through some gear and it sounds good!

THEY'RE 70! The only valid thing we can complain about at this point is the prices, imo.

And just think - BB King is 17 years older than they are.

I have the video on again and I'm rocking right along with it.

It was interesting that Mick didn't sing the slur on When the Whip Comes Down. They really sound good. A little rusty but it sounds much better than their other warm up gigs of the recent past.

I think Keith's fingers just show up like that on the angle. I'm pretty sure there is nothing you can do once the fingers start going because of arthritis.

Sounds nice.

Are Chuck & Darryl the new backing singers?  I dunno...I dont think that beard's going to go with a short skirt.

That dude even offered me a place to stay if I was willing to take the chance and come over. Delighted for him that he got in.

I remember reading articles in 1989 of them rehearsing Lady Jane and possibly including it in live shows.

Yep..it was rehearsed at that girls school in Connecticut where they prepared for the tour. No tapes ever leaked, unfortunately.

Unlike some other warm up club gigs, no 1st time played. Or 1st time covers.

A cool set list though. Esp Rambler.

However, nothing to get me excited about the upcoming arena shows.

I felt they did an excellent job with the Beacon show's set list.. it felt special. I paid $600 for that show and felt I got every pennies worth.

Willing to pay. Just want to something I havent already gotten over the past few tours. They've done an excellent job IMO each tour dusting off or bringing out songs we hadnt gotten previously. But from this show and the rehearsals it seems like all rehashed stuff I've seen plenty of times.

I believe it WAS the first time Doom & Gloom was played. And I've only ever seen Rt 66 once, and that was 13 years ago.


I'm all for giving the Boys crap when they deserve it, but the only kvetch I have about last night's show is that I wasn't there.
