Hard to imagine the Stones on tour in 2024 and they play the stadium in Glendale AZ tonight just a mile or so from my home. Saw them 3 times, starting 1969. DECADES ago! Not one ounce of interest for me now but for a good 45 years they really were the world’s best rock ‘n roll band. In honor of their history, here is a favorite early song. #RollingStones#Stones#Arizona

Today in Labor History March 18, 1968: The staff of San Francisco's "progressive" rock station KMPX-FM walked out on strike citing a lack of control over programming & "hassles over the whole long-hair riff." Performers like the Rolling Stones, Joan Baez, the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead requested the station not play their music as long as the station was run by strikebreakers.

For the first time in its illustrious 114 year history, the historic London Palladium will host a monthly orchestral residency beginning in February 2024, which will see iconic artists’ music celebrated.
This was an entertaining, but curious, gig. It isn't a tribute act - no sequinned sound-alikes strutting the stage here - it's a a full rock-n-roll orchestra fronted by three dazzlingly talented female vocalists. They blasted out hit after hit - knowing that the audience is probably unlikely to remember an obscure B-Side from a 1968 single.
The songs are played with joy and panache. The singers are outstanding - filling the Palladium with their roar. There are really only two problems.
First, is the audience. I know it's fun to rag on Boomers - but the event staff were constantly dashing around telling the oldies that they weren't allowed to record the gig on their phones. The youth of today, eh?
Secondly, as delightful as it was to have Cerys Matthews as a host, it seemed a bit of a waste to have her merely recite Wikipedia trivia for each song. She did her best to get the audience motivated - but I think it was a bit too late on a Sunday for the Boomers.
The residency continues with music from Bowie, The Bee Gees, and Phil Collins.
