rev:text	When you think of Vegas one thinks of gambling, drinking and strippers. None of the three have ever applied to me. It's no surprise to my friends that I've been doing Vegas outside the box. One of the events was The Rolling Stones exhibition running for an extremely limited time of 4 months. The exhibition is only being shown in Vegas and London. How many people can say that they've done both the Bowie and Stones exhibition in a complete year? There was a discrepancy and deceit with the advertised times the day prior. The staff today were more than happy to accommodate and compensate appropriately. The advertisement in the Vegas paper says that the exhibition features axes (guitars) used by Jagger, Richards and Wood. This includes the axe Jagger stabbed Brian Jones' in the back with. For those who aren't invested in the Rolling Stones or are a casual fan this exhibition was a "Stones for beginners." As a die hard fan there were hidden secrets that both denied and or confirmed all the personal research that I've done since 14. I spent 15 long minutes reading the session log book in detail. To the naked eye it just looks like a notebook in glass. Having actually read the log book and cut notes confirmed what many fans have suspected about Keith Richard's. He was only good for 20 minuets a day. It was made very clear to me in that moment as to why the Exile On Main Street took way too long to release after the initial press release. The remix station was more than just playing with the sliding notes. It was a good opportunity to hear some raw isolated tracks that were skipped by most people at the exhibit. I completed all 5 mixes in 10 minutes. My first concert was the Rolling Stones. Since then it's still the bench mark of expectation when it comes to stage production and band presence. I've seen stage blue print in books, however, it was really cool to see the originals concepts of Mark Fisher in person. Unfortunately he passed in 2013 which is why stage productions for pop and rock shows have fallen low on expectations as he was the master of the industry. The last 3 major Stones tour are still considered the highlight of his stage design career aside from U2 360. Seeing the 1:80 scaled stage models was mind blowing to me. The costumes were really cool. It was neat to see the costumes designed by Alexander Macqueen up close. I was very surprised at how well preserved the earlier outfits were considering the fragile material that was used to look good on camera to accommodate the restrictions of the then broadcasting technology. It wasn't until the 80's and 90's that quality costuming was used to work with what eventually became high definition standards that showed costumes in detail on both the big screens of Stones show and television. The fun part of the exhibition was the replica of the backstage/side stage area. It was neat to play pretend in what felt like a movie set. In front of the area was a screen in which we got to watch a short clip of The Stones 2013 Hyde Park show in 3D. This made me crave another Stones gig. Out of obligation I will address the elephant in the room comparing the Bowie exhibit to The Stones exhibition since everyone seems to be doing the same. The Stones exhibition will never compare to Bowie for a few reasons: 1. Bowie took a decade and half to put his exhibition together. 2. Bowie's consistently changing personality was the backbone and the evolution of his career. He was always moving forward with imagery and sounds. The Stones have done the exact same thing for 50 years. 3. You felt that you knew Bowie as a person whereas with The Stones exhibition it was just noteable badges of their music career on public display. This isn't a bad thing as I love their music, however, I can see how this would be frustrating for those looking for more a rounded experience. The exhibition is worth going as it is cool to see how they view their own musical legacy. There were some notable gaps such as more posters and advertising from the early years. The one thing that did bother me as a Stones fans is that Brian and Mick got brushed aside. Brian was the initial leader of the band. There is more to the story than what was shown. Bill Wyman kept a diary the whole time. It would've been cool to see some of those entries. Charlie and Ronnie are painters. It would've been cool to see their paintings. The Stones exhibition was good for casual and music fans but nothing compared to the Bowie exhibition, therefore, expectations should be expected in accordance with.
