I live about ten miles east of the Memory and all of its seedy charm.
It's mind-blowing to think about how quiet and remote the Montauk of 1975 was for the Stones. The Warhol/Morissey estate, especially, gives one the feeling of being at the end of the Earth...I love all the shots of the band in the kitchen there or out front or facing the sea.
I went to the second Boston show in January and when the boys broke out "MM," they showed a photo of the old joint on the screen behind the band. Good for a little chuckle from any Hamptons/Montauk folks in the audience.
A plug: When in Montauk, be sure to visit Joni's on South Edison for excellent sandwiches, salads and wraps. The owner is one of the world's great beauties (both physically and spiritually) and the iPod that supplies the house's music was filled by a Stones lunatic--me. It's "Rev. Radio" and very heavy on Mick'n'Keith and related gems...
