Mulling the possibilities over a cigarette break I came up w/these possible scenarios:

1) @#$%& BLUES -- I just don't see this happening though imagine the commentary track possibilities lol.

2) LADIES & GENTLEMEN... -- Not too far-fetched. I recall an online chat w/Jagger several years back when someone asked why it wasn't available on dvd. Mick responded (paraphrasing here): "I don't know but I'll look into it." Maybe he did. It's certainly not making any $ for the band sitting in the vaults.

3) rehearsal footage that aired on "The Old Grey Whistle Test" -- a distinct possibility, since footage from OGWT was released on some official DVDs a few years back (including, I think, Keith's notorious nodding off interview circa '74)

4) a new "making-of"- type doc. w/reminiscences from Mick/Keith/Charlie combined w/archive Tarle photos and clips from 1-3 above.

I'm betting on 4 but would be happy w/any of these options. We can dream, right?

Well, I hope it will not be that Montreux stuff again.
Every collector has that material already and it's not that great as well.

You may be surprised how many Stones fans are not "collectors" per se -- most in fact I'd wager. I know lots of Stones fans who have never seen this stuff unless I sit them down and show it to them. Believe me, we are *not* the masses or average fans.

It's a damn shame that Tarle didn't have a video camera with him during his time at Nellcote.
