ClubGig T O

und ein Kommentar von Shidoobee

still in shock as I write this but here are a few moments...

- First - what a great vibe in the room - celebratory -energized and very comfortable &
friendly - we were all in such a great mood including the band....
- Dead Flowers - Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!! - down home - melodic - Mick was singing so well.... he
meant it!
an almost blues version of 19th nervous - so slow I did not know what it was at first but boy was
it sleazy.
- Mick on slide - I thought I was hallucinating
-ONNYA - light years better than the press conference version - threatening like lightning!
- aint too proud too beg!! sounded better than the album version, it was soooo good that I was
almost in tears...
- she's so cold!!! I was a puddle and my gal was making funny faces at me as I nudged her in
sarcasm (I owe her big time though - she bent down in the dark and picked up something white on
the floor that had landed in front of her and handed it to me - it was a pick from Mick - red
tongue on one side and Bigger Bang 2005 on the other)
-New Keith tune was almost reggae like with a killer guitar groove that was Keith to the power
of 10.
- Get Up, Stand up was far beyond what I thought it would be when they started it - a celebration
of human rights courtesy of the mighty rolling stones with the whole audience as back up singers
- felt like we could change the world ... ....magic!!

JJ-Flash encore was HUGE - FAT - SCARY
- whole different energy than the palais (well it was definitley not a sweatbox in the room as the
A/C was working this time)
Ronnie is king - whatever concerns have been experessed about him dissapeared in the
tapestries of sounds he was weaving - alone and with Keith (who seemed to me to be in the
background more - jamming with the band but quietly on FIRE!!)
- Mick was so happy at the end of the night and you could tell the band really enjoyed it - we
are in for one hell of a tour folks - sorry I cannot be more articulate but I am floored by
this show.

Show actually felt longer than it actually was in length for me anyway - 75 minutes that felt like
2 hours perhaps because the band was really taking their time playing each song and not
rushed - what a treat!
The lion has been unleashed - last tour? - I do not think so!

I love this band

Ist das nicht ein schönes Foto!!! Von heute Nacht.

The Rolling Stones
Rehearsals club show
Phoenix Concert Theatre, Toronto, Canada
Wednesday, August 10, 2005

Show start : 9:35 pm
Show end : 11:20 pm

Show review
Tickets were given out to approximately 250 people, some who waited 24 hours in line. Also, the night before at the rehearsal hall, approximately 50 tickets were given to regulars who had been hanging around the rehearsal hall for the past few weeks to see the Stones. Tickets were sold for $10 each and each person in line was allowed only 1 ticket. They had to provide photo ID, and were given a wrist band and ticket for their $10. When they arrive at the concert hall (which holds approximately 1,000 people), they have to provide their wrist band (which hasn't been removed or tampered with), their ticket and their photo ID.
The warm-up act was a band called "The Trews" from Canada. Great band. Hard hitting and fast rockers from start to finish. If there was any dust on the walls before they took stage it was all blown away when they finished. Great warm-up. Two guitars, one bass and drums. That's all it takes to make great rock'n roll. They even played louder than the Stones!

But we were all here for the Stones tonight... On time shortly after 9:30pm Michael Cohl had the great pleasure of yet again introducing the greatest rock'n roll band in the world doing a rehearsals club show in front of a lucky crowd in Toronto.

The stage was all in red. Stones red. On the left wall they had put up three hugh banners with the "Bigger Bang Tongue". The Stones tongue exploding in a big bang. And around the place they had placed a few posters promoting "A Bigger Bang". Those posters soon got into souvenirs for fans picking them down from the walls. The building had a small bacony for VIP's and family of the band, while the less than 1,000 lucky fans downstairs had open admission and could move around anywhere. Except for the fact that they all crowded up in the front of course.

Opening song was "Rough Justice". They played it like it has been performed for ages, but it was in fact the very first time it was performed live in front of an audience. Great rocker with a big punch from their new album. New look on stage. Bernard alone in front at the left. Chuck Leavell could hardly be seen at the far left. Then the four Stones. And Darryl on the far right.

"Live With Me" rocked.

Then "19th Nervous Breakdown" in a strange, almost ballad-like reggea version. Slower than in the original version. Still great and unique. But the crowd was sort of quiet on this one...

"She's So Cold". No more quiet crowd. They all went mad. A fast and hard-hitting version with Mick all over the stage. Just wish it will be permanent for the tour. What a great version!

"Dead Flowers". Just have to love it every time you hear it. Great solo by Ronnie.

Then Mick was all up front with a guitar. He started up the blues song "Back Of My Hand" from their new album. Playing the slide. Singing the deep blues like it was a club in Chicago with four people in the crowd only. Then he moved back after a while and left the 2nd part over to Ronnie. First time Mick was doing slide on stage? Well it was great and again it is kind of strage how great a new song is sounding, performed live for the first time ever.

"Ait't To Proud To Beg" is another one which is rocking the crowd and again you just have t love these guys doing such great songs!

Introductions. Lisa and Blondie have been very low profile. Only Bernard up front mostly.

Then Keith is doing his new song "Infamy". From the new album. Sort of reggea style. Still quite unique, and a great we all can hope they will keep in the set.

"Oh No, Not You Again". Better than the version performed at the press conference. Great song from the new album!

Then the Bob Marley & Peter Tosh song "Get Up, Stand Up". At first a song which was straight forward, but then Mick is starting to work the crowd with a great sing-a-long. Everybody is singing and dancing, a great, great song for any size crowd!

Another cover version coming up: "Mr. Pitiful" by Otis Redding.

Then, if you ever was not sure this was a Rolling Stones show, because you got so many new songs, you got three of the greatest: "Tumbling Dice", "Brown Sugar" and "Jumping Jack Flash". They had been on stage for 1h 45 minutes, but it felt like half an hour. How time flies when you have such a great show going. And they don't need to rehearse anymore. Not really. Just bring this show on to Boston, and all the fans will be more than happy.

Final bow. It is all over. The three ex. Charlie is saying godbye for now. Not the first time Charlie is just leaving stage, but the nice thing is he is coming back. On his own. Looks a bit confused. Missing the others. But it is a great memory to bring on to Boston. And talking about Charlie... When Bobby Keys was introduced he hit his drums so hard I was sure Mick was jumping an inch or so. That guy is not old for sure. I am sure Charlie can hit them hard until he hits 100.

Epilogue: We were all sort of family out there in the street last night, Queuing for tickets. Sharing water, muffins, stories. Unfortunately not everyone coming could get tickets. But those who came early, those who did not wait, those who just left once they got the message, got bonded tonight. When we all came back tonight for the show, after a few hours sleep, all looking fresh, there were smiling faces everywhere. Shaking hands. Smiling. Lucky fans. The best and most precious Stones shirts were on of course. One from Glasgow. The Scotland special 2003 T-shirt. Another one from the 1994 Oakland Halloween show. Then all the other specially selected shirts for the night. And after the show they had to kick us all out. Even bigger smile on all faces. No rush. Big kisses and goodbye when we finally had to go.

You have something to look forward to. Bridges To Babylon was great. But this is unique. Hard hitting. Great guitars. Less brass. Less backup. More Stones. And with one more week of rehearsals still in Toronto, it will be even better, if possible. Enjoy the tour - soon it will come to a place near you!

<p>When The World's Greatest Rock Band gives you the chance to get up close
and personal, you do what it takes to be there.</p>
<p>You call in sick to work. You camp outside whatever rumoured venue is
hosting the event, braving heat and rain for a ticket inside. If you're smart,
you bring a chair to get comfortable.</p>
<p>The Rolling Stones played a small concert last night -- and any true fan
knows it could be their last.</p>
<p>Indeed, those who have stuck with the band through its four-decade reign
received news of an intimate concert at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto
with elation ... and a sliver of concern.</p>
<p>''It could be their last,'' said Lori Murray before the concert last night.
''You don't want it to be, but you think...''</p>
<p>Hundreds of fans queued for tickets that went on sale yesterday for $10.
Hundreds got in; hundreds more didn't.</p>
<p>Ray Hansen's decision to join the line at 7 p.m. on Tuesday proved too late.
But that didn't stop him from sticking around the Phoenix last night.</p>
<p>''I love the Stones," Mr. Hansen, 43, said. "They're the greatest
rock and roll band in the world,'' he said, fishing a mini-photo album of
Stones snapshots from his knapsack. ''One of these days I'm going to kidnap
Keith and get him to sign them for me.''</p>
<p>He added: ''They're in their 60s, and they're still rocking out.''</p>
<p>And they're still aiming to create a stir. Their latest song, Sweet Neo
Con, takes a poke at U.S. President George W. Bush and morality in the White
House.</p>
<p>''You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/ You call yourself
a patriot, well, I think you're full of s---,'' the song goes.</p>
<p>''That's the Stones. They take political shots,'' said Sean Burns, 43, as
he waited to get into the concert hall last night.</p>
<p>Mr. Burns has seen dozens of performances, and has been luckier than most,
stumbling upon tickets for two other intimate shows in Toronto in the 90s, at
the Horseshoe Tavern and RPM. Seeing the band live in a small setting is a ''completely
different experience.''</p>
<p>But beyond the obvious musical attributes, many Toronto Stones fans love
the fact that the group loves the city.</p>
<p>The Stones routinely rehearse in Toronto before launching tours. Woodbridge
stylist Angie Mattei heard they were practising at Greenwood College School on
Tuesday night so she and her 14-year-old daughter Alannah drove to the city,
hoping to get autographs.</p>
<p>Ms. Mattei admitted to being a bit surprised when a manager came out to
give her and about 30 other people wristbands for last night's concert.
Alannah was too young to go to the 19-and- over show at the Phoenix, so the
manager brought her and three other children inside the school.</p>
<p>The kids got to watch the band rehearse for about half an hour. ''It was a
real treat,'' said Ms. Mattei. Alannah raced out when it was done, excited and
overwhelmed all at once. ''Mom, you know what? I lived your dream.''</p>

Auch die anderen Teile sind ein Genuß.
Leider ist der Ton komplett übersteuert, aber die Bildaufnahme genial.
