Doing the whole traveling salesman thing today in Wilmington, NC. rob05c, if only there were a way to figure out my optimal route..? Tonight I'm going to see the Rolling Stones. Right now, my life is an odd mix of great and exciting stuff and scary and uncertain stuff. It's an odd time. I'm looking forward to spending this weekend with my wife and kids. Overall, life is good and I'm extremely fortunate. Hubski is crazy bugski this week. My apologies to you all. Lots of multiple comments etc. edit: for example, this comment posted but still took me to our 502 screen. mk, forwardslash Thanks for your patience. Have a great day everyone!
rob05c, if only there were a way to figure out my optimal route..?
Have you seen the stones before? I've got 9th row for their Detroit show! I actually think they're one of the more terrible bands to see live but sitting that close is going to be a whole different ballgame. I've got good Eagles tickets too. This is kind of a classic rock summer over here...
Tonight was my first show. I'm curious, why do you think they're terrible live?
I just think they're one of those bands that sounds better on the studio albums than live sonically (which I personally place a premium on). But their stage show is such a spectacle, and they are such living legends, that I have no doubt that the show will be incredible (especially how close I am!) and really mitigate my main gripe :) How was it? Curious to hear your thoughts. Another mark against them is that they're so big they play stadiums and I HATE stadium shows in general as they automatically sound worse and lack energy.
I hate stadium shows too. We were FAR away. They sounded pretty damn good though. They're a bit loose, but I liked that. At times it seems like Keith is just doing abstract noodling, which is awesome. Despite the spectacle, they're still just a band and I think that comes through in a way that it doesn't for other larger than life acts. Mick is a freak of nature. That guys stamina for his age is insane. I want some of his stem cells :)
