Sure, Why Not

The Rolling Stones are pleased to announce the exclusive iTunes release of 'The Rolling Stones - Hyde Park Live' album, following their two successful sold out concerts in London's Hyde Park on 6 and 13 July.

Thanks El Jay.

One of you musical-types: how far down, on average, do you think retirement-age rokk bands transpose their songs in order to stay within the singer's diminishing vocal range?

It just seems to me (and I could be totally off) that a few of the older hits are down a few keys. I don't notice it as much with the Stones, where I kind of like how Jagger's lower register has evolved over time. More ballast and nuance somehow.
But with, say, the Who - there's just no way Daltrey can hit those fucking awesome high notes, and sometimes it's hard to hear it differently when you love the original.

Ooh, that's a great question. I don't have an answer, but I will say this is the saddest version of "Street Fighting Man" I've ever heard a 70 year old man sing.

Another thing these older bands do that drives me absolutely crazy is slow everything down to a mid-tempo gallop.
