I'm a bit worried by what I've heard so far. A bit too much motorik/ambient and not enough CSNY for my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard a couple of tracks and it has become a little more electronic (even the drumming sounded programmed on one track) however think it will transpose well love. Enjoy the concert anyway!

I've heard rumours they were doing Villa Park, but heard no more. I should go really, as they are one of the bands I'd love to see before I die, or should I say before they die. yeah I'm not a huge fan but just figured "why not" ... I'm doing ElO and Roger Waters this year already , 2018 can be year of the oldies Edited March 1, 2018 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted March 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2018 I would like to have seen the Stones in the 1969-1972 era, but I didn't. Finally caught them in 1982, way, way past their best years. I certainly wouldn't bother now, especially at those prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 To be honest I'm getting fed up of concert ticket prices. Anything that's popular these days, the price gets hiked up. Add the hotel, food, drink etc, and it's a very expensive night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda agree , indeed when they toured last time I was dead set against it as they were old even then , but then I saw the Who a couple of years back and they sounded great (Daltry's voice has gone a little but he's learnt to adjust ) so figured , heck why not ..if nothing else I'll get to hear Gimme Shelter live Equally 2 of the best concerts I've been to in recent years have been The Cure and Depeche Mode and whilst they aren't the same age as the Stones they were infinitely better at 50+ than when I saw them back in their heydays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's reading this, he will get why I called him Roger Walters. It's a little in house joke, taps nose.

Mooney, you’ll be pleased to hear the Jonathan Wilson album isn’t all ambient as the pre-release single suggested. Only given it one listen but there are some good tracks on it.

PieFacE Posted March 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just bought tickets for this... Incredible line-up. Think I counted 26 bands I wanted to see. NIN to Nick Cave to Arctic Monkeys.... glorious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
