In the early seventies we tried to get New Musical Express (and Melody Maker) in Norway. - Yes, I have the flexi-disc from that time! And I remember a Danish Fan Club (but not the name of it) from the early seventies. We ordered all the bootlegs they had for sale at that time, and pay for them. And then we start to wait - and then we called Denmark - when will they arrive?!! I remember we draw about them. I got Winter tour 1973 and my friend (Geir) got Welcome to New York. (TMOQ) Great memories! And since 1981 - IORR (Member no. 92) We was at his place and packed and sendt out IORR at that time. In 1983 inside Undercover you could get a member of Beggars Banquet- I sent some money to US, so I got a few of these copies as well. I also got the copies of a fantazine called "No Expectations" - and it was! 6 numbers and it was gone. Now I'm waiting to get IORR no. 62 in the post! Hats off to Bjørnulf!! When I saw this tread I had a look and I found the add in Melody Maker from 1974 for the Kilbourn Show. (The first barbarians) That was the way we found out things "in the old days" Hope to see you all out there in 2012 for some new shows - I'm the guy with IORR T-shirt, he,he.
A happy new year to all of you!

You could still see the words "Its Only Rock n Roll" (albeit slightly faded) just beside the back entrance of Belfast City Hall for over two decades afterwards.
Then, when we got a presidential visit from Bill Clinton in 1994 or so the council gave the building a makeover and it disappeared
.......... Yeah Gazza .......that's a shame

The real shame is that they went through the trouble of doing that, and Clinton probably would have liked it the way it was. Though I guess the fact he's a Stones fan wasn't widely known before Shine A Light.

He introduced the Stones at the NRDC benefit show in LA in 2003.

Pretty much it was Mtv or magazines for me. I remember the very first thing I looked up on the internet in 95 or 95 was The Stones. Found a bunch of lyrics to their songs and a biography of the band. Thought it was SO COOL!!!

what did the T and the V mean?
They did have that CD rom voodoo lounge thing and they acted like they had a internet vote for a song to be played liveQuote

It's hard to believe the Stones could have performed live on the internet in '94. Back then it would have taken me about a couple of minutes to download a still photo of the band.

Interesting. You'd think he would have diversified and put his newsletter on line.

The cybervote was on the BTB tour. It was pretty much legit early on, but it was rigged more and more as time went on or dropped altogether.
The partial webcast they attempted was in '94 though. Cant recall which show (was it Dallas?) but it didnt quite come off

I always appreciated that they embraced "the new", even though the internet became obvious, I thought good for them for doing it, back when they were doing it.... and to this day I appreciate the fact they have never gone ballistic (ala Gene Simmons or Lars whats-his-name) about downloading, boot legging or being too nutty about banning their stuff from youtube.... Some bands are militant, as far as I can tell The Stones are not.

They're not - thats correct - although they (and their legal people) ARE (understandably) pretty sensitive about copyright infringement.
