'Scales Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Haven't noticed any comments (though I may have missed it) but quite a lot of 'Full Concerts' up on the tube now from the gigs the other day. I'll probably have a look at the Stones first, but if you've seen any of it what do you reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Well, here's my two cents, as a "local" so to speak, and a baby boomer. Number One, there really wasn't anyone on the bill I wanted to see, Number Two, the average age of the attendees was going to be mid 50's (it's been called "oldchella" as opposed to Coachella and I'll admit that I don't like crowds as much as I used to. Number Three, if you could even find one within a decent range a hotel room was going for $600 - $800 per night Add that to the cost of the tix, meals, etc. and well... I'm thinking I'll just sit at home and wait thank you. I can fast forward to whatever I don't want to see (which would be most of it). My two cents only and YMMV.

'Scales Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Finally watched (most of) the Stones. A couple of things occurred to me: 1. It seemed more of a struggle than the 50th anniversary tour shows a couple of years back, then again it was outdoors, using someone else's PA (I assume) and with a bit different crowd (as per others' points made). 2. The old blues number off their upcoming album was pretty cool - maybe the album could be just right at this point in their career. Still rocking along at any rate, particularly Ronnie I might watch the Dylan concert next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't those hotel prices getting ridiculous? Deb and I have seen some as high as a months rent for overnight! No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
