Bruno Toffolatti? ma chi cazzo è...... semmai Guido Toffoletti e lo conoscevo pure uno dei tanti motivi perchè Keith veniva ( e viene tutt'ora) a Venezia....che Dio lo Benedica!!

tornando alle news intervista a Chuck Leavel:

ma mi sembra di capire che lui non veda dei possibili concerti quest'anno ma per il prossimo anno probabilmente si! a quanto pare hanno fatto propio il compitino a regola d'arte un pezzo scritto da Keith Richards, e un pezzo scritto da Mick jagger tanto per non litigare.....dice che sono due grandi canzoni specialmente qella di keith staremo a vedere......poi si esprime a questi continui articoli sulla salute di keith che potrebbero frenare un nuovo Tour, e lui semplicemente dice: da come l'ho visto nelle session Keith può affrontare un Tour completo senza nessun tipo di problemi insomma è in perfetta forma almeno stando le dichiarazioni di Chuck!!




Chuck Leavell chats about Rolling Stones tour rumors, Capricorn show and nature

Chuck Leavell is never exactly idle.

As one of rock’s most prolific sidemen – his resume includes heavy-hitters ranging from Eric Clapton to the Rolling Stones to the Allman Brothers to more recent stars such as John Mayer and Train – the keyboardist/pianist is seemingly always touring or recording.

Occasionally he even gets to scoop up an award, as he did in February, joining the Allman Brothers in receiving a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.

Earlier this year he released a solo record, “Back to the Woods: A Tribute to the Pioneers of Blues Piano,” and on Friday will join his former Capricorn Records labelmates at Chastain Park Amphitheatre for the “Capricorn Experience,” a multi-act show that includes the Randall Bramblett Band, Wet Willie, Cowboy, Col. Bruce Hampton and Paul Hornsby.

On Thursday afternoon, Leavell was getting ready to head off to rehearsal with Cowboy, but first took some time to discuss the ever-persistent rumors of a Rolling Stones tour, his work with John Mayer, how things are with his Mother Nature Network and what, exactly, he has in common with Betty White.

Leavell is always chatty and charming in person, and in case you’re wondering why he’s wearing sunglasses inside of a Starbucks, he hasn’t been infected with Rock Star Disease. A few weeks ago while mowing the grass on his tree farm outside of Macon, a pine cone ricocheted and nailed him in the eye. It isn’t a pretty sight, so to speak, but Leavell promises it’s healing.

We’ll let him tell you the rest.

Q. You spent some time with the Rolling Stones recently…

A. We had our first rehearsal in May. It was the first time we’d been in the same room together in five years. It was just fantastic. I cannot say enough about it. It was just the core band – six of us – and the exercise was basically, we haven’t done this in awhile so let’s see if we still remember. Mick [Jagger] had called me and said, listen, how about putting together a list of 20 or 30 songs that would be good for us to do.

Q. For what reason, exactly?

A. Well, you know, I think mainly to test the waters and see how everybody was, the health of everyone. And the answer is, everyone was healthy, happy, energetic.

Q. So what is the status of a tour?

A. They have not made any announcements, so there’s no official news to report. They [rumored Brooklyn dates] will remain rumors until the band confirms, but we recently had sessions in Paris and worked on two great songs. One, Keith [Richards] brought in called ‘One More Shot.” It’s really cool, great guitar riff. And Mick has one called ‘Doom and Gloom.’ The song sounds a lot different than the title. The theme is that he’s talking to a girl saying all I hear from you is doom and gloom – let’s go party, let’s go dance. It’s an up-tempo tune. They’ll be on the 50th anniversary set coming in November.

Q. Do you think they’re thinking of doing a full tour or just a couple of major market shows?

A. As far as what’s left of this year, I can’t see that it would be very much. But I do think the possibility exists that the band would want to tour again, so I think the answer is yes. Having spent time in rehearsal and the studio recently, there’s nothing but smiles and backslaps and hugs going down. It reminds you of how passionate we all are about doing this and how much you miss it when it’s gone.

And 50 years? It’s such an incredible landmark, isn’t it? I’ve seen Keith talk about how long can the band stay together and basically his answer is that we’re in uncharted waters now. You’ve seen what the blues and jazz guys can do, but rock ‘n’ roll only came around in the ‘50s, so there is no precedent. We are the precedent! All we know is that as long as the band can write good songs and perform them well…and right now, is everyone’s health there? Absolutely.

Q. Even Keith? There had been talk that he might not have the dexterity to do another full tour.




A. Based on the recent experience I’ve seen, I would say Keith would have no problem [going on tour]. I’m waiting for the call. I’m on standby and will remain so.

Q. You play on John Mayer’s current album [“Born and Raised”]. Were you supposed to go on tour with him before his voice problems occurred?

A. Yes, there was a tour planned. He had gone through treatment for the granuloma. The docs all said he was fine. The tour got reinstated, so we all gathered in L.A. The production crew, the band, and started working. The first two days everything was great, he sang like a bird. The third day he started experiencing a little trouble. The fourth day he saw a doctor and they pulled the plug. We were all disappointed, but of course it was worse on John.

Q. Any idea what the status is now?

A. He’s just gone into treatment again, about 10 days ago. He’s seeing a high-level doctor out of UCLA, so it’s a wait and see at this point.

Q. Tell me about Friday’s Chastain show. How did this come together?

A. Terry Reeves, who manages Cowboy and works with Randall [Bramblett], put it together, brought it to a promoter who thought it sounded interesting. It’s basically to celebrate Capricorn Records, which we all know was a little while back, but it was a magic, golden era for all of us. Not just the Allman Brothers, but Wet Willie and Sea Level did very well, Bruce Hampton had records out on Capricorn. So I thought this was worth exploring and figured we’d make it a light night and go back in time for a little while.

Q. Are you all playing separate sets or will there be some sharing?

A. There will be some interaction, but we can’t all play with each other with everyone’s set. There will be some structure and separation, but some interaction.

Q. Do you think it’s something you’d want to bring on the road?

A. I think it’s something we could do more often, but I’m not sure of taking it on the road for 30-40 shows, but something you could place in the right cities, in the right venues and do more often.

Q. So who out there do you still want to work with?

A. I quite like Adele. I love her voice and I like the songs – I think they’re well-written and recorded. As for other established artists, I was able to be on a show with Sting once. I was in the band backing up a number of artists and he was one of them. I enjoyed that experience; he’s a musical genius, great songwriter. And The Who. If Pete Townshend would invite me I’d be there. Pete’s guitar tech is a close friend of mine, but so far I’ve not been invited. [Leans toward recorder] Pete! Read this! Call me!

Q. What’s going on with the Mother Nature Network?

A. We are working on something that is premature to announce, but will happen in the next 30-60 days that I think will be very significant. But in the meantime, the traffic continues to grow. Our team is so good at presenting the information and changing the website and we continue to uncover stones here and there.

In an election year you would think the environment would be discussed more than it has been. I understand there are strategic reasons for that, but at the same time I think someone needs to stand up and say something about it. Maybe once the election is over we can get back into it. I think that the [viewer] numbers that we’re getting continue to let people know that this is an issue. People do care about it – they care about it deeply.

Q. You turned 60 this year. How was that experience?

A. Can I tell you about my birthday? I played the New Orleans Jazz Fest with my band, but here’s the rest of the story. When I turned 40, I played in New Orleans with Eric Clapton and after the performance at Tulane, my wife put together this amazing after-show party on the rooftop of the hotel. We had Eric and the band and it was amazing.

I went back to New Orleans on my 50th just because I love the city and we were with friends –no work – I went and heard Astral Project and New Orleans zydeco and now I’m back on my 60th with my band playing in the blues tent. After the show, we had the party again at Arnaud’s, and my friend Steve Ferrone, who played drums with Clapton and was with me on my 40th, was playing [at Jazz Fest] with Tom Petty! So Steve came with some of the other guys in the band. How can you beat that? And the next day I got on a plane to start rehearsals with the Rolling Stones. Not a bad way to kick in to this phase of life.

Q. That is not a bad way to celebrate any birthday.

A. One other thing that happened in February was that I received only the second honorary forest ranger award from U.S. Forest Service. They had the ceremony at the Georgian Terrace in the ballroom there, the chief came down, there were about 200 forest service employees. It was a tremendous honor for me.

Q. Who was the first recipient?

A. Betty White got it before me! I’m honored to have my name alongside hers. They give you this absolutely beautiful hat, the original from back in the ‘30s. They just don’t make those anymore

Carnaby Street collaborates with the Rolling Stones for Christmas


The Rolling Stones are collaborating Carnaby, in celebration of their 50th Anniversary, for the 2012 Christmas installations. Carnaby is world famous for its musical heritage as well as fashion and this year’s Christmas designs will be a very special project with the greatest rock’n’roll band in the world.

The Christmas public art will consist of huge 3D spheres suspended throughout Carnaby Street containing gold and silver vinyl records emblazoned with the bands iconic artwork and album covers. The Carnaby arches will also be dressed with the Stones’ iconic tongue and lips logo. The outdoor installation tells a visual story from the band’s creation in the 1960s to the present day.

The installations will launch on 8th November 2012 and will be in place until 6th January 2013. In addition there will be a Rolling Stones pop up shop on Carnaby Street. This will be a curated space that will sell limited edition apparel and prints, plus the band’s new greatest hits collection GRRR!, released on 12th November. A limited edition canvas shopping bag will also be available for Carnaby shoppers.

The Rolling Stones/ Carnaby relationship began in the 1960s, when the band would often frequent the shops on Carnaby Street, and just round the corner on Broadwick Street where they rehearsed for their first live shows.

‘We are delighted to be working with the most famous band in the world. They have been instrumental in defining popular culture and epitomise the essence of Carnaby’s music heritage’.
Simon Quayle, Director, Shaftesbury

Carnaby is London’s most exciting destination for shopping and leisure, with a unique mix of global fashion brands, independent stores, unusual boutiques and award winning restaurants. No other area in London can boast such a distinctive heritage for fashion, music and youth

beh il grande Chuck dice che Keith ce la fa'...stanno tutti bene e sono felici...speriamo bene

Si mi sono sbagliata guido toffoletti

Un utente di Iorr ha fatto una statisca relativa alle press conference pre tour .
Al contrario di quello che mi ricordavo (dai 2 ai 4 mesi prma) questi annunci sono stati dati sempre circa un mese prima dell'inizio del tour (tranne in casi eccezionali es. la caduta di Keith). Questo per dire ai tanti che cominciano a preoccuparsi perche' il tempo pare stringere, che cosi non e'. Visto che questi possibili concerti dovrebbero svolgersi a Novembre, e' piu che normale che non siano ancora stati annunciati.

Anch'io penso sia cosi' Isy, pero' mi domando: ma se lo annunciano 1 mese prima come si fa per i biglietti? sarà un casino per prenotarli....o no?

rosso57

ma se faranno questo tour dovve posso trovare i biglietti

se lo faranno, troverai i biglietti tramite i soliti canali. avrai aggiornamenti a tempo debito ....forse

Ma quindi in novembre esce un'ennesima raccolta tipo 40 licks (50 adesso) con 2 canzoni inedite giusto?
Non credo uscira' qualcos'altro vedi appunto 40 licks anche quella volta aspettavamo l'album ma almeno gli inediti erano di piu'.........ah quanto ci fanno soffrire...
Spero di sbagliarmi naturalmente; che esca un album e che vadano in tour anche se per il 2012 mi sembra veramente impossibile ormai...
Il documentario penso che noi non lo vedremo prima del 2013 .....o magari per qualche via traversa

Recuperato documentario 'perduto' sui Rolling Stones, in vendita dal 6 novembre

19 set 2012 - Sarà in vendita dal prossimo 6 novembre "Charlie is my darling-Ireland 1965", il documentario "perduto" sui Rolling Stones. Il filmato, dalla durata di 50 minuti, fu girato nel settembre 1965 quando la band effettuò due date in Irlanda. Sebbene copie pirata del documentario siano sempre state reperibili, il lavoro non era mai stato ufficialmente immesso sul mercato. Nel quadro del cinquantesimo compleanno degli Stones, la versione restaurata del video - riporta "Billboard" - sarà proiettata per la prima volta il prossimo 29 settembre al New York Film Festival. Oltre a mostrare il gruppo nel backstage, con imitazioni dei Beatles e di Elvis Presley, gli Stones eseguono, tra le altre canzoni, "Satisfaction", "Time is on my side" e "The last time". Rispecchiando l'isteria che avvolgeva la band in quegli anni, la canzone "I'm alright" termina anzitempo perché il pubblico invade il palco e costringe Jagger e soci ad essere portati via dalla polizia per la loro incolumità. Il regista Mick Gochanour ha spiegato che sono stati necessari otto mesi di lavoro solamente per le sincronizzazioni in quanto il tutto era stato registrato su un obsoleto nastro a tre piste. Come già riportato da Rockol,
la veterana band pubblicherà il prossimo 12 novembre una raccolta-monstre che includerà, a seconda delle versioni, dalle 50 alle 80 canzoni.

"Grrr!", questo il nome della compilation, sarà impreziosita da due brani inediti, frutto delle recenti session parigine in compagnia
di Chuck Leavell alle tastiere e Darryl Jones al basso, ovvero “Gloom and doom” e “One last shot”, che hanno visto per la prima volta dal
2005 - anno di pubblicazione di "A bigger bang" - ritrovarsi nello stesso studio Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts e Ron Wood.

Prendiamo quello che viene allora sempre oro colato per carita'

Dal Twitter ufficiale dei Rolling Stones........come lo interpretiamo ? come una smentita o solo come un consiglio di non comprare biglietti a rischio da canali che non hanno a che vedere con i loro ?
