Re: Tales from the road
i just watched that video again the other night... its a nice contrast on how the Stripes never seemed to do a 'regular tour' but made sure to enjoy themselves and make their way around the community as a part of learning from others and sharing their interests with more than just paying fans
gotta love it

Re: Tales from the road
My favourite thing about this thread is you don't have a bunch of tri-coloured records, liquid filled 12"s, or an entire Rob Jones sub from the past tour. Just some incredible memories and a few souvenirs that really only you hold value to.
Memories are the best part of anyone's collection.

Hey, it's just a fucking record. Chill.

thanks. Yeah it was a monumental occasion.hsp88 wrote:glastonbury shot is killer
You might notice the strips of white gaff tape on the Fender Rhodes road case. That was our (not so subtle) way of requesting songs.
John and I would occasionally write songs on tape, and plaster them in places the crowd couldn't see: monitor speakers, under mic stands, etc..
Never having seen a set list.. ever, it was our way of prodding Jack into obscure/fav songs when he was pacing the stage, summoning the next explosion.
