Stones at the Ricoh (4 Viewers)

[stevefloyd]

Is that because they were crap?

I had a band we we never sold any singles either.

Ive been in a few bands and we never sold a single single although we had to give autographs a couple of times...found that weird I hope someone made some good money off them lol

The Stones at the Ricoh might also be a catalyst for other big acts to go there. Name wise there’s non bigger than the Rolling Stones worldwide.

Led Zeppelin at the Locarno in 1971 ?

U2 at the General Wolfe, Rolling Stones also did a gig at a venue on Fletchinsted Highway might have been where the Highway Club is now.

The old Matrix Club?

tbh the response to the band is exactly what they get wherever they turn up nowadays - some saying great, some amazed they're still alive, some saying they're has-beens, some saying how much for a ticket?!? The Wasps bit is pretty irrelevant to that, really!

There'll always be the odd person who says they were never the same once Brian Jones died, too...

Last time I was in a band I got myself a stalker. A super fan who had my name printed on a tshirt and who kept sending me love letters.

Very scary, but after a few months he just stopped and apparently had gone and joined the navy.

 

[stevefloyd]

I too had a stalker he came round and had guitar lessons and his missus was a real fruitcake

Ooh, I like fruitcake.

I like it with cherries in

 

[Otis]

I have a reputation for popping cherries so tend to avoid them.

 

[Grendel]

There are only three groups that have sold more than the Stones and Pink Floyd wasn't one of them.

On a highway to hell with that one

The bad boys of pop now tired old millionaires going through the motions.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Unlike regional and government investment where 99 percent is concentrated in that shithole that is Birmingham, when it comes to class

The bad boys of pop now tired old millionaires going through the motions.

still be a good show

It will make a change to tennis balls and whistles.

One thing the Ricoh has always managed to attract is big name bands.

Just a shame they fail on that front when it comes to sports clubs

I was one of the 12 or so at General Wolfe for U2. Bono walked round floor and sang to each person. Spoke to him a few months later at Lanchester Poly gig, much more that night.
Seen U2, 3 or 4 times since.

Rolling Stones at Ricoh Arena is a great coup for city of Coventry.
Unlucky SISU never mind.

Yeah I guess Seppella is fuming she didn’t lay the formula price of £10 million for half share of ACL as well as liability on the loan as she’s missed out on a 50 grand booking fee.

She's fuming but not about just this one item.

 

[Adge]

I wouldn't bother Adge, go down to London on the piss instead, as it's the day before the league 2 playoff final

To be fair squire I was planning on both hopefully.

No she's fuming because she never got it for free.

Think the Foo fighters are not that far behind them to be fair.

I know-great isn’t it!:emoji_grin:

Saw them at Coventry Theatre 1970 when Mick bounced around the stage non stop for 2 hours, don’t expect him to do that this time. It was the weekend Brown Sugar was released and Cov was the first time they played it live. Perhaps no longer the best that’s if they ever were but are the biggest that’s been to the Ricoh, will I go, no, but to the rock fan to have seen the Stones live is a must i’d think.

Don’t be surprised if he does, we saw them at Hyde park 5 years ago, 90 in the shade
And Jagger never stopped dancing from start to finish and covered every inch of stage.
How he did that for over 2 hrs at his age was incredible,

Is Keith Richards actually still alive ?

 

[Captain Dart]

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Henderson, Hunt, Ramage & Joe Cole reunion!?

 

[The Great Eastern]

The old Matrix Club?

Saw Caravan backing up Mott the Hoople at the Matrix rather a long time ago. MTH hadnt gone commercial at that stage and were a honest to goodness rock band.

 

[Otis]

He died in 1972.

When I saw the title of this thread I assumed that Wasps were paying to get the exterior of the stadium clad in pebbledsah.........

Pebbledsah? Yeah, with McNumpty paperwork up the scaffold on the trowel.

I saw Caravan once (at DMH). I fell asleep.

She must be a Wasps season ticket holder or similar. I can get tickets this morning.

Best not to ask the price is my advice, stress or not

Wasps - God no wash your mouth out - shes Sky Blue through and through - season ticket holder - found some ticket website that had 24 hour advance tickets - and of course God does know what she paid but i am not in the know - my plan is to keep it as a known unknown
