Almost The Real Thing


CS2 We have been to see the Counterfeit Stones many times, most recently in November 2006. Tonight we saw them again, this time at the Ashcroft in Croydon. As always, they played all the Stones' classics to an unbelievably high standard, interspersed with amusing film clips and authentic sounding banter.


Sadly the auditorium was only 60-70% full which combined with the Ashcroft's design meant the atmosphere was not as intense as it ought to have been. And I do believe that Sympathy For The Devil is the only one to end with. But when I compare tonight with the miserable effort we saw by the Rollin Stoned back in January, I can say there is definitely no-one that can compare with the Counterfeit Stones.
