  1. Still I don't think he gets enough credit for his soloing. For example in the days of the early Stones he was their primary soloist, with the exception of Brian's slide work, and those early Stones records are chock full of blues tunes with tasty solos and fills on par with anything anyone was doing at the same time.

    True enough, though with the advent of Mick Taylor he gradually slid more into the rhythm guitarist slot.

  2. I tend to trust the list of concert dates and venues posted by johnroxx, as I called the Music Hall at Fair Park today, and spoke to Jayne Basse, and she said they just singed the papers for the JB LZE to be there on Nov. 18th. Jamie said she though the tickets would likely go on sale Sept. 2nd (Thurs.)..... but that part is unconfirmed. And, any pre-sale date, would obviously come before that.

    Just keep Checking TM every day. I will post here when I find out more . . .

    Here's a Seating Chart for the 3,420 seat Music Hall at Fair Park:

    I've been to several events at the Music Hall, and sitting in the balcony was good, only if you are at the front of the first section.

    On the Floor, you would not want to be more than half way back in the first section.

    Acoustically, the Music Hall is fine, no problem.

    The Dart Green Line Light Rail serves Fair Park, and currently, the last train out from that station is at 11:51pm, but I'd take a car, it's on a Thursday night, and traffic shouldn't be too bad going and coming.

    Thanks, Rover. :thumbsup:

    Btw I see it's now listed on his site again.

  3. I'm not Steve, but--the flyer states that the festival will be over 2 days and that the following bands (in alphabetical order) would play, without specifying on which days. It doesn't imply that they would all play on both days. And it was quite a common, if confusing, way of advertising such festivals.

  4. Aquamarine, someone just told me that it is Sam Cutler, the former tour manager for the Stones.

    Of course! I didn't recognize him out of context, but must have dozens of pics of him in Stones books from that era. Good sleuthing. B)

  5. Have a great time at the Jazz Fest! I hope that you have good weather on Saturday and Sunday. Give us a synopsis when you return. We will re-live it vicariously through you. smile.gif

    Sorry, haven't been on for a bit!

    The weather wasn't great, but it stayed dry for Beck, who was incredible. He played quite a lot of the new album, though the highlight for me was Sly's I Want to Take You Higher--just seemed perfect for the occasion! The next day it did rain during the Dead Weather, who were on at the same time as Van Morrison :P , but they were terrific--100% energy, as always.
