Country Joe 1,411 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 After seeing the Stones a few times in the 60s with Brian Jones, and with Mick taylor, I was at the hyde park concert, and they were brilliant live. But have to say i was disappointed with them at Glastonbury, watched it on TV, thought they sounded ordinary, and their choice of songs could have been better. Not a big fan of Soul, but the best ive seen up to now was Chic with Nile Rodgers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 I don't think keith was actually playing. It may have been the Stella for me but it didn't look right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Country Joe 1,411 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Most of the time Old Keith was walking the stage holding his Guitar by the neck. Good to see Mick Taylor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 They're really old and probably on oxygen most of the time, what did you expect Feck me, Jagger's nearly 70 years old: incredible he's still doing it. I agree with the choice of songs though: crap. For me it was amazing to see Jagger still strutting (sort of) around the stage at his age. If I'm half as fit at his age I won't complain. I would have liked to see them do Gimme Shelter for one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spade 224 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Not a big fan of Soul, but the best ive seen up to now was Chic with Nile Rodgers. Got to agree with you, thought Nile Rodgers & Chic were fantastic. I think its great some of these bands such as the stones still going but they just didn't have it in them last night. On that performance I think they should quit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AirgunGuy 362 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Agree that they're well and truly finished. I love the Stones but Mick was poor...voice was terrible and his movement not a patch on what he used to be like. They should've thrown in the towel long ago imho. From watchin their old stuff on Youtube to watchin that last night was chalk and cheese! I can understand why they still keep going...legacy, fans and a few extra quid but time has definitely caught up with them. I wouldn't pay to see that now!

cragman 2,672 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 You'll get used to seeing shite bands as you get older, these big names, they can't turn the clock back but people think they're getting them in their heyday. McCartney's the same, ditto The Who and others from the sixties and early seventies. I saw the Stones in '76 at Earls Court and they "blew my mind", but 37 years on....No chance. I saw the Hollies last year and Manfred Mann, good sixties bands, and they can still put a good show on, brilliant musicians. The same can be said for Steve Harley, seen him in February and he was very good, all his band could play. I'm going to watch The Seekers in September...They're very very old and might not even live to make the gig, but during my childhood, every young guy fancied the lead singer, Judith Durham, so perhaps the Carnival isn't quite over for them yet, I hope not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
