Reply #178 - Dec 12^th, 2012 at 10:33pm What is this - kareoke night with Kanye? How many songs he gonna do? Hip hop seldom translates well live. And anyway he's a shitty rapper and can't sing either. Plus he can't dance or move. And looks really stupid tonight. Sorry.

Sir Paul rocking the house! You rock!

Man sounds fucking GOOD. Helter Skelter - didn't someone call that earlier today? I thought 'no way'.

Excited to hear the Nirvana thing with Grohl et al. (not a big Nirvana fan at all, but this could be interesting, to say the least).

Given how many songs the Who have played, it's safe to assume the Stones could have played more if they were so inclined. Saving energy for tomorrow night?

Thats what I thought too. However, it appears that the exclusive deal they had already signed with WWE for the PPV show forbade them from playing longer even if they and the promoters of this event had wanted them to.

Reading between the lines, I suppose WWE could actually have refused them clearance to perform at another televised event, but a compromise was reached.

So, 2 billion pairs of ears hear Fallon advertise the pay-per-view. But WWE contractually obliges the Stones to leave them wanting more. Interesting.

Reply #195 - Dec 13^th, 2012 at 8:06am Who knows the real reason why the Stones only did two numbers. I don't think any of us will ever know, unless someone has a connection to Stones, Inc. and their lawyers. it was a benefit concert and the Stones did their part. Did I want them to do 30 minutes? Sure, but I was happy with ten.

I was at the concert. There were some amazing moments, and I hope they raised a LOT of money because it is sorely needed.
I spend the day in Red Hook before going to the show, and it is sill reeling from the hurricane. When I delivered supplies to New Dorp, Staten Island about a month ago I could not believe the complete devastation for miles around us.

My over-riding impression of the show was that it was way too long. The organizers needed to be more forceful in handling the rock gods. They let too many acts play too many songs.

The highlights for me:

For me, Roger Waters and Eddie Vedder stole the show. They were impeccable. I thought our boys were very good (I wish that every band had a two to four song limit). They were pretty much the only act that had a project get promoted live on the show. This should help the PPV sales. Appetites have been whetted.

Bruce was great, of course, and The Who rocked the place. I had just seen them last week at MSG, and I loved the way they were weaving Moonie and Ox into the live performance. Not sure if the Moonie part could be truly appreciated by the TV audience last night. Note to Roger: keep your fucking shirt buttoned.

Lows: Buschemi blathering....other celebs blathering...Kristen Stewart....Blake Lively...even Colbert and Jon Stweart both talked too long. Kanye running around in a dress to a recorded soundtrack. Bon Jovi...everything he did. Clapton and Chris Martin should have both joined some other act rather than take up time with individual performances.

I have to admit, I left during Macca. It was already after 1:00 AM and I have two REAL Stones shows this week!

WTF were they thinking....putting together a Nirvana reunion that wouldn't start till 1:15 in the morning?

Obviously there were no clocks backstage.
