Rolling Stones Rehearsals At Soldier Field 1997
By Steve Rhodes
The Rolling Stones opened a world tour in 1997 at Soldier Field and while it wasn’t well-received by our esteemed local rock writers – and for good reason; I was there with a colleague from Newsweek and found it to be a boring, sorry spectacle – it’s always interesting to watch a band behind the scenes and in rehearsals, and that’s what Meeuweschijt brought us this week with some YouTube uploads. Let’s kind of mash a few things together and take a look just for old time’s sake.

“On September 25, the Rolling Stones brushed off its opening night jitters and performed a vigorous set of mostly pre-1980 material that also contained a few notable surprises,” the Music Box wrote back then.
“As the lights went down, strange effects pumped through the $3 million sound system and with a pyrotechnic flash, the band launched into a raging ‘Satisfaction.'”
Here is the rehearsal of that opening.

This Amp Now Goes To 30
And Is Now In Chicago
“Brad Jackson, owner and creator of Jackson Ampworks, stopped by Chicago Music Exchange to release the newest Jackson Amp, the NewCastle 30. The design of this amp was purposefully kept simple to make it easier to dial in and to keep your tone as pure as possible. With the power scaling features power scaling which allows the amp to scale between 30W and 1/8W seamlessly without any tonal change!”
