Mark & John in London Dec. 3rd

[Fieneke2]

Quote BBB: "how cool it would be to hop into a time machine to the CLASSIC early DS era."

Hey Nigel, whenever you take a trip with that machine, then be sure to collect me too!!   I missed all the music and concerts in the past, so it would be great to have a second change! Imagine I would be young again too and have engergy to dance the whole evening of the concert!  

Val, although I want to be in the time machine, I think you are right! A reunion won't be the same as it was in those years when Mark, the band members and we all were younger!

I am satisfied when they play some of the best DS songs at the concerts next year and sure will enjoy it to listen to Mark's solo music, especial songs of GH, RPD and of course my most favourite Get Lucky album.

Interesting to hear that David is breaking the ice with the "DS" subject.
It seemed to be for some time a very bitter subject to him and playing and again with Mark was sort of "d.e.t.a.i.". Although not the best guitar player in the world, the way he sounded in the early days of DS was interesting. Now the question is would Mark do it?
We know that John is not against it, Guy will do it, Alan although not interested by Mark current direction would probably do it.

After all Roger Waters and David Gilmour did manage to be together again on the same stage with Nick and Rick or Eric Clapton with fr

The Rolling Stones are one of the bands that are tragic and have become ridiculed and the butt of jokes!   Not the way I would like DS to be seen.  

Guy was asked on his forum this morning if MK and JI discussed reforming DS.  His answer, "It's not on the agenda"!

Leave the whole DS reforming thing well alone - it would just be awful of it happend.  DS - Yes for charity work and other good deeds, not jumping on the reforming band bandwagon - too much water has passed under the bridge - just be happy with things now!!

David was not there. He was invited but he was in the US!

Both David and John told so in an email to me.

I had the chance in 1999 to attend at Wembley Stadium the Stones a night they were all "on" and they were really great, Midnight Rambler was played in hell mode! And Atlantic City 1989 is really a killer show. Now they may be not as great as they were 10 years earlier (shorter show and still much expensive) but certainly not "tragic".

OK, A bit past their sell-by date!

Word is they play along to backing tracks (not miming, just some "assistance".

You can't say they came back "stronger than ever", they'll never be stronger than that late 60s/early 70s period.

saw the stones some 3 or 4 times during the voodoo lounge and bridges to babylon tours, i believe it was 1994 and 1995. the shows were brilliant, still, i would not go anymore, and i own 0 cd's of them.

I dont think that is Ellis Rich, if you Google him he's a large fella.  I think he was just a fan.  Someone there had definitely attended the first gig as I heard them say it, but I couldn't be sure if it was the guy in the middle.

@Goldenheart: MK is wearing a Belstaff jacket, they do very nice and expensive motorbike jackets. No wonder why MK likes them... http://www.bel-store.co.uk/
