Yea, thanks a lot Andrew and Ronald! Chris reminds me here a bit of Lou Reed, the outfit the glasses... very cool!:-) Ok, his voice thounds like voices sound in the early morning :-) but listen to his singing in the end of ,,still so far" (after the solo)- stunning! I love it when he sings with...

[quote: ,,In the real concert world, artists plan their concerts and set list with the record company..."]

Maybe in the popstar- mainstream- world Chris never wanted to be part of. But not in the world of thousands of music loving bands!

Mr Blues, I exaclty feel the same as you, in every point! And I bet there is nobody else who has influence on the setlist as Chris himself. It must be so boring for him and his band??!! And I don`t understand the argument that he has to do compromises to earn money to carry on making records. There ...

No surprises?! ((

Of course there are bands out there who change their setlists very often during one tour though they don`t have nearly such an enormous backcatalogue than chris.

Cause I´m a bit sceptical in regard to the forthcoming program (again the same old hits played in the same old style and same running order?) I´ll wait till the first reviews from the January- concerts. But if there are any surprise, I´ll by my tickets at the box- office in the evening (cause of the...

Festhalle (Frankfurt)????, Olympiahalle (München)????, Porsche Arena( Stuttgart)???? Very optimistic toumanagement

...of course i feel the same with regard to best-of- cds, but we should always keep in mind: there is no other artist on earth (even amongst the younger ones) who`s such a enormous output of new material. So we should be a little more patient ;-). Compare it probably to the Eagles who`ve released ON...

I wonder if the new Josephine version is really that kind of sound he always wanted?!Cause it has nothing to do with the bluesy banjo-version he played live. It`s more like the french-version from the 80ies with the funky-pop guitar. Even the other rerecordings have not really much to do with blues ...

On the back of my espresso logic -shirt Canada and the US are printed as ,,touring dates"! So it must have been in spring 94.

Yes - we discussed it somwhere before- the pictures don`t fit to the music, not very professional. On KKK Blues the bass came from play-back.

Indeed, the older songs seem to be new recorded versions!

Did you know this awful version of stone: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxV2A27FrPE ,

I know PIGS MIGHT FLY only from a live bootleg from 83, probably a cover song? It`s a great blues- rocker and would perfectly fit to his new style.
