Hey, Stones fans! Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 5th, 2024, because the Old Town Blues Club in Temecula, California, is about to shake, rattle, and roll with the sounds of Love You Live, a tribute to the one and only Rolling Stones.
The Gig
This isn't just any old tribute show. Love You Live takes you back to 1976-77 when the Stones were at their peak musically and in popularity. They're recreating the raw, live energy from the infamous "Love You Live" album, recorded during the band's tours in Paris and Toronto.
Doors open at 7 PM, and the band starts at 7:30 PM. This is a 21-and-over event, so leave the kiddos at home. The venue is 28636 Old Town Front St, #102, Temecula. Don't forget your ID!

- Bret Alstadt: Lead Vocals
- Andy Doty: Rhythm Guitar
- Mike DiSanti: Lead Guitar
- Mike Emory: Bass
- Hector Toro: Drums

And let's not forget the backup vocals from Elisha Van Slyke and Connie Smith. These folks aren't just playing dress-up - they're bringing the Stones' music to life.
What to Expect
This isn't your run-of-the-mill cover band. Love You Live digs deep into the Stones' catalog. Sure, you'll hear tracks from the "Love You Live" album, but they have some surprises for die-hard fans, too.
The show is based on the Stones' 1976-1977 tour, just before the release of "Some Girls." Many critics reckon this was when the band was at its absolute best. So if you've ever wished you could hop in a time machine and catch the Stones in their prime, this is about as close as you'll get.
The Venue
The Old Town Blues Club is the perfect spot for this gig. It's got that intimate vibe that'll make you feel right in the front row of a Stones concert. If you get peckish, they sell table snacks but leave the outside food at home.
Why You Should Go
Look, if you're a Stones fan, this is a no-brainer. But even if you're just curious about the fuss, Love You Live puts on a show that'll knock your socks off. They've got the music, the energy, and the attitude that made the Rolling Stones legends.
This isn't just a bunch of guys playing Stones songs. Love You Live captures what made the Stones' live shows so electric. It's raw, energetic, and as close as you can see the real deal without a time machine.
The Music
Expect to hear all the classics. "Brown Sugar," "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Honky Tonk Women" - they're all on the menu. But Love You Live also digs into some deeper cuts that'll make the hardcore fans grin from ear to ear.
And let's talk about that harmonica for a second. Andrew Gonzalez is a guest player, but don't let that fool you. He channels the spirit of the Stones' blues roots, adding that extra layer of authenticity to the sound.
