The Rolling Stones Emerge From The Vault with ‘No Security San Jose ’99!’

0

The newest addition to The Rolling Stones’ acclaimed “From The Vault” series looks back on 1999’s No Security Tour with this release from San Jose, California. It will be available on DVD and SD Blu-ray (both accompanied by 2 CDs with the audio from the show) as well as on triple vinyl on July 13, 2018.

The Rolling Stones’ No Security tour ran from January to June 1999 through North America and Europe. It followed on from the colossal Bridges To Babylon tour and took its name from the “No Security” live album recorded on that 1997/98 tour. In reaction to the huge stadiums played on Bridges To Babylon the conscious decision was made to book smaller venues for the initial North American leg of the No Security tour.

This show was filmed at the San Jose Arena in front of an audience of a little over 30,000 (intimate by Rolling Stones standards!) at the end of the North American run. Previously unreleased, it captures the band in top form playing a set that spans from mid-sixties hit singles up to the then current Bridges To Babylon album.

The set list spans from the mid-sixties hit singles to the Bridges to Babylon album, including a bluesy, dramatic version of ‘Midnight Rambler’, a dark and swaggering ‘Out of Control’, and the rarely performed live, ‘Some Girls’ and ‘Saint of Me’. The show was an electrifying, anthem-packed, cross generational hot ticket, concluding yet another chapter from the band that wrote the book on rock ‘n’ roll.

The Infamous Van Halen Tour Rider As An Infographic

0
It was 1982, and one of the world’s most ostentatious glam rock bands kicked off a massive tour, but not before sending its demands to the venues it would be rocking. In what is considered to be one of the most ridiculous riders of all time (a rider is the list of amenities required by a band that the host venue must provide), Van Halen requested some items that define the phrase “over the top.”

Paul McCartney announced the first four dates of 2018 tour, and Canada gets him first

0

Paul McCartney announced the first four dates of a 2018 tour entitled “Freshen Up,” which will support the release of his new solo album Egypt Station, and all the dates so far are in Canada.

Egypt Station is McCartney’s first solo LP since 2013’s New. “I liked the words ‘Egypt Station.’ It reminded me of the ‘album’ albums we used to make. Egypt Station starts off at the station on the first song and then each song is like a different station. So, it gave us some idea to base all the songs around that. I think of it as a dream location that the music emanates from.”

McCartney also said he’d like to play a bit smaller venues in the future. “It not only takes you back to where you started, but there’s the intimacy in the audience, and you can have a lot of fun. And you sometimes don’t feel like it’s quite so precious. Because if there’s 40,000 people who paid all that money, you’ve gotta think about pleasing them. If there’s only a couple hundred, and we’re all having a party, you just think, ‘We can throw in “Matchbox,”or we’ll throw in an odd number that we’d only do at sound checks or something.’ So they’re good fun for that reason.”

I saw him last summer in New York, and easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Good Lord, he’s a Beatle. Go catch him.

Paul McCartney ‘Freshen Up’ 2018 Tour Dates
9/17 – Quebec City, QC – the Videotron Centre
9/20 – Montreal, QC – Bell Centre
9/28 – Winnipeg, MB – Bell MTS Place
9/30 – Edmonton, AB – Rogers Place
