Styx- Mr Roboto- Bossier City LA 2-21-20

Styx was one of the last bands to come off the road when the COVID-19 lockdown silenced the live music industry in early 2020, and Styx was among the very first to re-emerge back in early June 2021. I simply love what the group does live these days with the AI-themed "Mr. Roboto".

Rolling Stones- Gimme Shelter- Hyde Park London 7-6-13

the excellent rock documentary film "Twenty Feet from Stardom",  which features interviews with both Lisa Fisher and Mick Jagger who sing this, here is a stunning example of why that story needed to be told.
