re: #458 albusteve

it is extremely difficult for a band to produce the same powerhouse energy every night…and I know from experience how concerned a band can be about three shows in four nights etc…the Stones do not like playing the huge arenas…they don’t need to either obviously…they do it for the fans, the ‘Stones experience’…they would much rather play a club in Toronto any day and they have…they are a blues band that got out of control…their hearts are in a smoky little club in Chicago/Toronto…it’s true…they could play Robert Johnson all night if you let them

Totally true. Although by playing arenas and getting people out with the rock favorites, they bring Blues to the masses. Always a worthy goal.
