Jamz · 6th February 2006, 02:21 AM

No tapes...all live. Congrats!
Start Me Up
Rough Justice
Satisfaction
Guitars mixed nice n' hot...Jagger in the mix...as it should be.
Well done.

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 6th February 2006, 02:25 AM

I love the Stones. 60 years old and rockin'!

Sounds Great · 6th February 2006, 02:26 AM

Are you kidding?

These guys looked exactly like you would expect rock and rollers that should have quit decades ago.

And where was the mixer? Vocals come in about the second line. Guitar solo after about 8 measures? Asleep at the wheel.

I thought the whole thing was laughable.

Oh, did I mention they sounded like total crap?

Bravin Neff · 6th February 2006, 02:27 AM

Don Was produced it. I thought it was sweet.

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 6th February 2006, 02:28 AM

Dude, I don't know to many guys dancin' like that at 60. :)~

and your point?
Go listen to a Steely Dan record. Games back on.
Cheers.

FFTT · 6th February 2006, 02:38 AM

Are you kidding me.
It's a wonder they're still alive!

They're having fun making oodles of money doing what they love to do most.

henryrobinett · 6th February 2006, 02:47 AM

Yeah. I thought ghey were incredibly sloppy, Munch was on it. But then I remembered how frigging old they are and my attitude changed. Damned good for a bunch of old farts. But I never liked the Stones. But I admire their stick-to-ativeness. But they're a little too corporate, you know? It's a huge corporation propping up a bunch of old guys. I can admire that too!

Go listen to some old live Stones. They have always been a sloppy band live. You don't go to a Stones show for the same reasons you go to hear Yes or King Crimson or a Perfect Circle. The Stones are about not giving a S----, and they make you feel like flipping off the world. Their sloppiness has been a risky but integral part of their sound for 40 years. If you don't feel the happy anarchy of it all, you're never going to be a Stones fan.

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 6th February 2006, 02:55 AM

for the Stones it was tight...

I think that is a poor excuse. Did you see Pink Floyd at Live8?

As far as I am concerned they should do it right or why bother?

You want to keep young people turned on to music that us ol' fogies are into and try to get them back to rock and roll roots? This isn't helping.

I can hear it now:

Grampa? That is the Stones you always bragging about? Yeah, pretty good, for old folks, eh?

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 6th February 2006, 03:03 AM

but they are doing it right. There sound is sloppy!

Yes, this is what I was thinking. Kids thinking about old fogies. I was watching it with my boys - 13 and 15. They were laughing. What can you say? They make a lot of money.

All right, I see. I have never seen them live. And I am sure glad, especially for the kind of money they get.

I've heard 100 cover bands play Satisfaction and sound a ton better then they did.

Sounded like noise to me.

tommyd · 6th February 2006, 03:07 AM

It's the Stones for Christsakes! 40 years later and still rockin', LIVE.

I'm 46 and I was laughing.

I was in a band when I was about 14 that played Satisfaction. I'm quite sure we sounded a lot better.

smarsland · 6th February 2006, 03:20 AM

The Stones "reinterpreted" their previous hits.

It wasn't good, but it was fun and cool, and certainly a lot better than the sh*t from last year. Very few bands could have gotten away with the crap they dropped tonight... but THEY can do that.

FFTT · 6th February 2006, 03:21 AM

Hell I'm 10 years younger and I can barely remember the parts to stuff I wrote 5 years ago.

Try remembering the parts to some 400 songs you've played over the past 40 years
without your mind getting completely scrambled.

Then drag yourself and your arthritic fingers up on stage and do your best in front of a millions of people LIVE without the slightest bit of nervous jitters.

It's only rock and roll

Sounds Great · 6th February 2006, 03:31 AM

I put the headphones on and listened to the Stones. It sounded really really bad. If it were me playing, I'd be embarrassed. Ok, whatever. I'm out.

Winey · 6th February 2006, 03:36 AM

I LOVE the Stones... They were awful today.

it was quite bad. aside from the foh guy being asleep at the wheel, mick's vocals were all over the place, no sense of pitch whatsoever, richards guitar playing sounded like a 10 year old playing a HONDO, and watts' drumming was pitiful at best. the stones were great and all back in the day but they need to know when to give it up. i think their in-ears deliver electric shocks to their brains to keep them alive.

all that being said...
i'd rather have that than britney, justin, mariah, or any of that other garbage.
and at least they didn't use tape backing or anything.

GO STEELERS!!!!!

Oldone · 6th February 2006, 03:42 AM

Ah, we have spoiled our children....

Guys, this was all live. I can't remember one group that was entirely live over the last 5 Superbowls. They all use tape. The last two generations are used to having their music served up perfect and autotuned.

This band was never about perfect sound, it was about the energy and rude, naked rock and roll. This is what real people playing real music sounds like.

Ever wonder why Britanny and Beyonce never sound out of breath while dancing and singing? It's because they are performing to tape..

The industry has serverd us synthetic sounds and feelings in music for too many years and when you hear what real music sounds like, well I guess you get the whining.

And I am not even a Stones fan. I should say I was proud of the boys; all that youthful energy jumping in front of them and not one heart attack amongst them trying to keep up.

No4PCs · 6th February 2006, 03:46 AM

Oh, Stones will be play live in Rio, Copacabana beach for free, day18, for 1.5million crowld .

.

i agree with you completely. except that is not what real (talented) people playing real music sounds like. it was really sloppy, and off. it's great that these guys can still run around the stage at 60 or whatever, but the musicianship just wasn't there at all. except for wood's solo in the second song, the slide was wicked. i don't mind slightly off vocals, etc. a better performance is better than autotune etc, but this was weak.

KEEP WINNING STELLERS!!!!

Matt Grondin · 6th February 2006, 03:49 AM

For what it's worth, I thought the Stones were terrible... no where near the league of Paul McCartney's performance last year. He slayed everyone last year... the vocals were amazing, the band kicked ass, and the energy level was through the roof. Essentially, the exact opposite of the Stones performance tonight. I always thought the Stones were one of the most overrated bands in history and I like very few of their songs. I think it has become taboo for these 40-50 something baby boomers to NOT like the Stones... there are many, many artists from that same period of music that are far better and have written much better songs. That said, to all you Stones fans, your boys sounded pretty rough tonight.

Kenny Gioia · 6th February 2006, 03:53 AM

I thought that they sounded great and Mick is in ridiculous shape even if he was my age. Which he is not.

Those songs were boooring though.

I guess I'm used to these shows doing medleys and not full songs.

Those songs need some more parts and more lyrics.

(I twy, and I twy, and I twy, and I twy, I can't get no.....)
