Potted Shrimp,
I'm serious. I saw them twice in '76. Never been more disappointed at A Stones' gig really. It wasn't just me - many other longer term fans realised they'd lost a massive amount since '73. Love You Live confirmed to me how much they sucked at this period in the seventies. Ronnie's twanging on Rooster is an abysmal disgrace. Just look at Keith in that photo above.
Just compare a clumsy lurching HTW on LYL to the uplifting and liberating one on Ya Yas, for example.
I've recently seen the video of the Knebworth show, (which I attended). Jagger was such a jerk really. He thought he just had to turn up and prance about and shout. Everyone cheered anyway. But they certainly weren't the greatest anything at the time. Greatest superstars maybe.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

Thats sort of how I see the band, as 2 maybe 3 different bands . . . when i heard jagger's singing on Rambler in 1975; it confirmed for me that it was over. ("talkin bout the midnight ramblaaarrrrrr") they had become charactures of themselves. Jagger rarely can come close to his soulful on stage singing pre-73. Oh well . . .
