Ronnie Wood - Memphis Tennessee (Soundcheck) - Manchester Opera House - 27 November 2019

[@raykrocker994]

So under rated.An amazing guitar player.

I agree, Ronnie has always been one of my favourite guitar players right back from the days of The Faces.

Back in the 70s I was a young Faces aficionado, ( with hair ) saw them countless times, best nights of my life. One time at the Sundown in Edmonton North London. They were belting out a song when who I assumed was the house manager walked on an blew in Rod Stewarts ear at the end of the number. Rod took to the microphone and asked the crowd upstairs in the circle to stop jumping up and down as plaster was flaking off down below!!! They then went into the next number ........ You guessed it " Memphis " the crowd went berserk!!! I was right down the front hands on the front of the stage. I looked round and I swear to god the upper circle was flexing to Ronnie Lanes bass. Happy happy days, a musical education. The circle stayed intact, me old man gave my shit because when I got home at silly o clock I'd forgotten my key, and I missed my paper round at 0530 that morning. Still a massive fan, without hair

[@sharonsimmonds3197]

By the way, it's not Sharon Simmonds it's her hubby John, she's a fan of Bowie, not a bad choice!

The rapture will happen without a doubt. The rapture will happen much sooner than many believe (much less than 10 years according to all the environmental, weather signs , israel timelines, astronomical etc showings: luke 21:11 . It will happen without any warning , not one , in an instant , catching masses of people off guard just like God always does, ie the flood , sodom and gomorrah ~ a rude awakening . Matt. 24:44 jesus said Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. No one knows the exact day or hour the rapture will happen is a certainty . THE RAPTURE CAN HAPPEN NOW at ANY TIME make no mistake !! . Please awake to Christ Jesus which is the ONLY hope NOW and dont let yourself find out it IS all true later when its too late and you have been left behind in the most terrible times the earth Has Ever experienced Before and ever will...for anyone who sees this and doesnt know what to do please If you havent given your life and heart to Christ Jesus you will have REAL BIG problems way bigger than any problems you have Ever had If you are left here on earth after the Rapture . After the Rapture The USA , Worldwide , will face More evils , Inner city chaos, firearm wars etc etc ,power and water , food shortages , military invasions,mass executions (yes much blood will be required by antichrist ) etctec than it Has EVER been seen Before and you surely dont want to be Here then . We Have Time NOW to change , please seek Christ Jesus while there is still time to save ! no one knows the day or hour of the rapture ,But the rapture will start out just like any other day .....The Rapture will Take Place In the day In Broad daylight, sunny day , In an Instant FLASH without ANY warning , and there will be peoples Driver Ids, cell phones ,wallets found in various parking lots , Purses bill folds Found at work etc etc with NO explanation , and People VANISHING so No One can refute it has taken place. . romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Many of those that are left behind were seen in deep regret and many hung themselves on fences on interstates , and roadways and different places, their cars left by the roadside and many others also used their cars to kill them selves wrecking into things . It will be a horrible time , and regret will cause many to commit suicide . NOW is the time, dont wait until its too late seek Please Christ Jesus NOW. Those not going in the rapture and left behind , who rejected Christ Jesus' Love, and those that are practicing sin will have a big nightmare when left after the rapture example woman dancing in topless bar practicing sin , will NOT go in the rapture when it happens abruptly , and many other examples of willfully practicing sin daily .matthew 25 :1-13 parable of the 10 virgins, 5 were wise 5 were foolish and payed a severe price . Acts 3:19 all unrepented sins19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

[@2009framat]

@@dermotgillespie5138 I was talking about a LIVE CONCERTS. It's a whole different thing. I saw him several times since 1980. If you compare this Soundcheck (!!!!!) to Berry's concerts (!!!) Wood's soundcheck is still better than the best Berry concert I ever attended. If someone has absolute no right to turn in his grave it is Mister Chuck Berry himself. On one Berry gig there was not even a bassplayer and on another occasion he argued with a woman in the audience after every second song. On another gig he always told the back up band wrong keys and told the audience they have to learn a lot. And that is only what I saw. To be honest I never met anybody who attended his live concerts who said his live gigs were as good as his records.

Ronny’s talent was wasted on the stones. He became a back up to Keith. With the faces Ron played rhythm and lead at the same time like Pete Townsend. We never heard that beautiful tone ever again. Black Crows copied it and made a career out of it but it was Ron’s .

The Crowes obviously borrowed from the Faces like any good rock band should. But if you listen to anything besides "Shake your money maker" the Crowes found their own sound. That was a very arrogant hipster like comment. You are probably wearing a mask too arent you?
