Title: Ben Fong-Torres 1981 Interview with Mick Post by Steel Wheels on Nov 2nd, 2012 at 8:32am
I found this yesterday:
http://lifeyostaticfiles.s3.amazonaws.com/static/user_files/721/media/Ladies%20and%20Gentlemen,%20the%20Rolling%20Stones%21.pdf Some things I found interesting are the following - I copy and pasted them here: Still, just over a year ago, bass player Bill Wyman began talking about retirement. So the question was: How long could they go on? At this moment, the logical answer is: forever. --- I have no misconceptions that I can play to a stadium in the same way we can play to an arena. I think we're running on 15 percent efficiency in the stadium. I don't think we're pleasing the people enough. --- In today's show, you played quite a few oldies... Outdoor shows are different. You've got a pretty large cross-section of people that like the Rolling Stones because they've been around for a long time, and you don't want to pander to them; you want to be able to play new stuff at least half of the show. But yes, it's basically hits, up tempos and a few ballads, whereas indoors you can stretch yourself a bit more and play nearly all new stuff. --- |
