The show was amazing. I'm in awe. Greatest rock'n roll band ever.

Set list:

1. Street fighting man 2. Let’s spend the night together 3. Tumbling dice 4. Out of time 5. Out of control 6. Angie 7. You can’t always get what you want 8. Living in a ghost town 9. Honky tonk women 10. You got the silver 11. Connection 12. Miss you 13. Midnight rambler 14. Paint it black 15. Start me up 16. Gimme shelter 17. Jumpin’ Jack Flash Encore 18. Sympathy for the devil 18. (I can’t get no) Satisfaction

Viewed most of the videos of the Stockholm show and the band was on fire.   Greatest Rock and Roll Band!    

I was disappointed though in Miss You. It seemed an uninspired performance of one of my favorites.  Angie I never liked as well as just about every ballad by a rock and roll band. Out Of Time they hadn't performed in 50 years.  Wonder why?  My guess is that Mick and Keith didn't write the song and probably the publishing rights were recently purchased by Stones insiders.

Wish they would play Impact Arena in the Big Mango.  Perhaps they could be Blackpink's opening act!     

Actually it would be really nice if they played TJ's or Emmy's or be on a flatbed truck outside Delirious!

You're right BBG!   I wonder why they have added it to their set after all these years?

Very observant ,PD. Miss you was probably one of the least enthusiastic numbers that night. Shame as its one of my favs too. Start me up and Lets spend the night together,  Out of time  was among the highlights if I had to pick any, but over all it was a great night.

I had to look it up.  Chris Farlow's version was a huge hit.

 

This one was great.

Don't despair.  The Pattaya Music Festival is in Jomtien on Friday and Saturday night.  Rumour has it Dylan and the Stones will be performing together. Spoiler alert they will be performing Like A Rolling Stone, Cocksucker Blues, Pattaya Pattaya, The Overstay Song, Country Roads, Hotel California,  Zombie and Jomty Anal Alley.   Dylan will be doing an acoustic version of Gangnam Style. 

Traffic will be quite heavy on Jomty Beach Road all weekend. The stage is by the Night Market on Soi 9.   Not sure if vaccination cards and masks are required or not.  If so Sheriff Grunt will do his usual effective job clasping cuffs on miscreants.

I think I might find out where this group is singing when I am in Manila in a few months!

Here's this weekend's lineup for the bands on the beach opposite the Night Market at Jomtien Beach Soi  9.   I have no idea which bands are good but my guess is that the bands going on later are more popular.

It probably is difficult to get into the limited seating area unless you go early.   The last time i figured I'd go to the nightmarket to check it out but it was uncomfortably crowded.  Perhaps the best place is on a blanket further down the beach.   Not sure how aggressive the BIB will be enforcing no drinking on the beach.

Haven't heard of either.

You know its a record breaking summer with endless great concerts and festivals when you basically ignore The Pixies live a week ago.

Another festival next weekend, Way Out West, albeit at the west coast, I'm not going there. Great lineup.

Instead of going to Medusa, music fans should have flocked to Jomtien!

No incidents like this have happened this summer with hundreds of thousand people attending. 
 

Nick Cave closed a festival last night. Didn’t go, too far away from here. One artist I have to see before Armageddon.

Barfine-able? 55

Not the Stones obviously but I wonder why bands with a smaller audience but still very well known don't perform in TH. Especially in a place like Pattaya with its large visitor numbers and expat community. It's a ready-made audience for those bands. I think it's some kind of visa issue which prevents Western musicians performing (you'll see a few in Bangkok but they probably only play for beer money). Only the Filipino musicians seem to get a pass.

It's a big missed opportunity by Thailand IMO.

yes, visa issues Jimmy. And also very likely the promoter would vanish with the takings....

some years back on soi 6 Jomtien, before it turned into the massage meat market it became, there used to be the Bristol Bar. Just a little one unit place. Every Sunday the owner held a 'come-one come all' for local expat musicians to jam outside the bar for local charities. A basket was passed around for a collection.  Until one Sunday immigration came along and arrested everyone for working without a visa.

This was about the same time that they also raided  the local Bridge club and detained god knows how many 70-80 year old guys and gals for gambling.

Just back from watching the new Elvis film at the Cinema (for me 100 times better than watching on a TV), heard a lot of good reports on it so went to find out for myself, it was worth paying the £9.50 imho. 

Also more enjoyable sat in a very comfortable armchair (with recline) with a pint of Camden Helles and a glass of Rioja.

I remember reading the headlines of the paper as I was delivering them on my paper round at the time. Where does time go ?

I went to see The Stones last night in my Town,  ok not the real Rolling Stones but a tribute band playing 'The Rolling Stones Story' 

What I particularly liked was the big screen showing events of several era's and info on the songs they were singing, which I thought was a very clever idea and made it all the more interesting. 

The Band itself I thought were excellent, particularly the girl singer who I thought was fantastic, she would not look out of place as a backing singer for the real Rolling Stones imho. 

All in all a very enjoyable evening and would highly recommend going to see them.  

 

 

 

Good to hear this song again, which unfortunately Mick and the crew can't play on Stage anymore.

Just watched it this aft and Tom Hanks, brilliant as per. But I can’t think I’ve ever saw him play a bad guy before. Road to Perdition maybe.

Tom Parker was no more a Colonel than the guy who makes chicken, so finger licking good.

Big Momma Thornton : You Aint Nothin But a Hound Doggie . makes me want to shake my bootie. 

Elvis borrows Hound Dog song from Big Mommy Thornton and not gives a single shout out. Elvis version good toos.

I am not really a fan of C and W music. Much too alike song after song. There are exceptions.

I like some of Willie Nelsons and Charlie Rich's efforts.

One of Willie's, "He was a friend of mine", is especially poinient. I think it was written by Bob Dylan?. With the anniversary of Stoolpusher's, (Brett), passing coming up in October. I play it now and again.

Still brings tears to my eyes.

I have booked a trip to Europe coming home via Pattaya. I leave the day before his passing which was Oct 25th.
