Last night (Oct. 25), the Rolling Stones ended a five-year absence from the concert stage -- and while most of us weren't able to be there, the set list from the show has been posted for our perusal.
Boston and politics go hand in hand, but one thing that Bostonians like as much as an election is their hometown heroes, Aerosmith, and the band is planning something special for election week. The group has announced their intent to play a surprise show next Monday (Nov. 5), a day before we elect our president, as they try to rally their fans not only to vote but to also pick up their new album, 'Music From Another Dimension,' which arrives the next day.
Bon Jovi has announced a 2013 world wide tour in support of their upcoming new album. Because We Can -- the Tour will begin in Canada, before scheduled but not yet revealed dates take the group through the U.S., Latin America, Europe, the Far East, Africa and Australia. Six Canadian dates were announced on Thursday morning.
They call Paris the City of Light, but tonight (Oct. 25), it'll be the City of Stones. Rolling Stones, that is.
Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie of Fleetwood Mac will return to the road in 2013. There are no dates officially scheduled, but all parties have agreed on a tentative schedule of rehearsals, while keeping open the possibility of also creating new music.
Despite guitarist Keith Richards telling the BBC that the Rolling Stones hope to not "charge over the bloody top" for tickets to their recently announced two-city 2012 string of concert dates, that's just what seems to be happening.
Earlier today (Oct. 15), the Rolling Stones announced that they will perform four concerts -- two in London and two in Newark, N.J. -- in the coming months. Those who are unable to make those shows can now rest easy. The final show of the '50 and Counting' mini-tour will be shown live on pay-per-view in the United States.
After months of speculation, the Rolling Stones have finally announced four concerts to take place before the end of 2012. In the YouTube announcement (seen below) the group makes official long-rumored plans to play live before the end of their 50th year together. They'll play two dates in London in late November, and two dates in Newark, N.J. in mid-December.
The Rolling Stones' 50th anniversary year has brought fans a new book, a new greatest hits compilation and a new song, 'Doom and Gloom' -- but it's also been filled with a lot of rumors, and now we can add one more to the list: That the band will headline next year's Glastonbury festival.
Neil Young is timeless, end of story. His age is irrelevant (he turns 67 next month), and the fact that he has not had a 'hit' record in years is of no issue whatsoever. Young, and his longtime band, the ever durable Crazy Horse, are the real deal ... always have been. And last night's performance at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio proved that.
You gotta give it to the Rolling Stones; these guys never stop touring. And it looks like that hasn't changed, because the band's guitarist, Keith Richards, revealed that the group has a couple of live shows lined up in both London and New York.
