I agree with DP.....She's so Cold was strong enough to hook me, sell the entire catalogue to me, and a handful of concert tix to boot. As for the tempos, I'll take the 78'-82' high energy, fast versions of all the songs over what we've been presented since B2B. 19th Nervous Breakdown and Its All Over Now will cease to exist if they get any slower. All Down the Line sounds a hell of a lot better with sweat flying, than it does loping around with plenty of room for Chuck to noodle.

Main Offender came before WS. At the same time as Slide On This, if memory serves...
I seem to remember that Mick, conscious that he had made a brilliant solo album, took care that it should not impair MAIN OFFENDER's possiblities and waited for some time to release WANDERING SPIRIT.

A band without its muse, that writes Down In The Hole, Emotional Rescue, All About You and She's So Cold really has a better potential than most bands

I am.
Their Satanic is very dear to me and still one of the most interesting studio albums the Stones have made.

Hmm, how about 7 discs?
The last disc is from 1968, as are the Child Of The Moon outtakes.

BTW, how did they get Mick to be that "dark?"

He waited until exactly one week after Macca released Off the Ground, lol

Did Mick have a tele-prompter for Glastonbury girl and if so where was it?
It must have been difficult not to sing "waitin' for a factory Girl".

I guess playing "You Got Me Rocking" in that 121212 concert can be see meeting the criteria made in this thread. They had only two numbers and they decided to play this number that is no way familiar to their non-hardcore fans. And as result, almost nobody seemed to happy... (if we follow the Jaggerian maxim that no-war horse song never work to non-die-hard fans).
A kind of cool thing to do.

Interesting. I haven't heard that from anyone who attended the show? The ones I've talked to thought the Stones did a great job.
Or do you mean among us IORRians who weren't there?

I am sure most of the people who were there it was a fine number - but I'm talking about the millions who saw it through telly, and who potentially were PPV show customers (remember the connection). A safer choice for them would have been "Start Me Up" or something like that. Even the great Glasto gig seemed to cause some negative comments; the opening with "Miss You", "Rambler", and "2000" might have been too much for people who want to hear classics. I think that it is great that Jagger didn't take the easy or safe route at 121212.

True, but save SF and Exile, every album has had tracks that didn't age well. GHS has several, IORR has a couple. Personally I don't think Lies off of SG has aged well. Rare are the aforementioned albums that are "timeless." BB and LIB are pretty close, but..... Satanic Majesty is very dated and came before the "golden age", so there is an ebb and flow.
