"Also expected, the Fonda theater, which has only resulted in a partial audio output, would finally be scheduled for this year on DVD and Blu Ray.The sixties will also be in the spotlight, in audio and video And finally, live CD side, Eagle offers us very good surprises before the summer ..
So the 60's is the On Air release and the surprises for last summer is L&G, Some Girls live in Texas and the Checkerboard Lounge CD releases.
Could be, but stuff already released are hardly «good surprises»?

I know, but Live In Texas and Checkerboard Lounge (albeit extended) were not «good surprises» anyhow, by that time.

From IORR news (July 4):
And from the Daily Mail article (read it with a grain of salt, as always):
"Along with Ronnie Wood, 70, and Charlie Watts, 76, they will release a live compilation album around Christmas."

Yeah, but that must surely be «On Air»?

I added this to I've posted above:
"The news confirming the "On Air" release were first published on July 6, five days after those vague news about the release of a "live compilation" were published on DM, so they could refer to the same record. On any case, let's see what happens."

Ah...bingo - would be cool to see a pic of Mick's home studio.
This may be the closest you'll find.

Maybe you can find it in the news (July 27):

I'm not able to post the pic!

Sorry, Hairball!
I didn't see that KRiffhard posted it. It's difficult to see what the videos are if you're not paying attention enough if anything is said about them, which seems to be my case - I didn't see it.
What happened to being able to see the video? It's been a while since one could see a still of the video so you know what you're getting into.
I remember seeing something that showed the Stone, er, Mick and Charlie, doing Oh No Not You Again on TV and that alone had the energy and attitude of SOME GIRLS. Mick hopping up onto the drum riser at the end of the song... my thought was "COOL!"
What happened!!!?? That did not come through on the LP version. Such a shitty song. I like some Stones-by-numbers songs but when they're Mick-Stones-by-numbers songs it's just a root canal.

With some distant link to your SOME GIRLS reference:
If the band may be seen as in its time having moved along some route from "Dance"/ "Summer Romance"/"Send It to Me" kind of and level of EMOTIONAL RESCUE songs to "Tie You Up (Pain of Love)" /"Too Tough"/"All the Way Down" type and level of UNDERCOVER songs, I would have loved a band effort of a new studio album now to make a movement from the three first mentionned songs in another direction than they did by the last three mentionned songs.

So happy to see this again. A bigger bang is one of my favourite! A real collaboration. Underrated by the fans...

Like they did with Undercover (Of The Night), Feel On Baby and Too Much Blood?

A Bigger Bang is the best album since 1986 if not 1981 IMHO (incl. B&L). I don't know where all the hate comes from. Minus Biggest Mistake (too schmaltzy), She Saw Me Coming (would have been a great b-side, but is too unfinished for an album cut) and 1-2 more, but plus Under The Radar it would have been a very good album, although still far from a classic. I don't expect them to reach this standard the next time (judging from the 2012 track, Crosseyed Heart & MJ's single - all poor efforts) - unfortunately.

I think the main beef people have with ABB consists of two things:
1. A very weak production / mix / sound
2. Way too many songs
The album per se is better than its reputation, imo. But I don't think Under The Radar would have improved it, and imo Biggest Mistake and She Saw Me Coming are both necessary ingredients to uphold the quality of the album.
Songs like Oh No, Not You Again, Streets Of Love and It Won't Take Long were totally unnecessary (imo).
When you make an album with almost as many songs as on Exile, you're bound to fail if the quality isn't good throughout.

I agree, but not with every detail. I actually think It Won't Take Long is the first real bummer since Start Me Up, but I seem to be the only one. Instead of releasing it as a single, the song was totally ignored, played in the wrong speed live twice and then immediately forgotten.
On the other hand I think She Saw Me Coming (which most folks really like) sounds more like an X-Pensive Winds rehearsal. Biggest Mistake is much better in it's full version with longer intro and not faded out.
Anyway, the 13 best songs/ 50 minutes would have been enough - but everybody has another list which ones to drop. I hope they don't pack 18 tunes on the next album, half of them rather poor.

I like playing albums, trying to get into the artist's statement - rather than to shop songs. To each his own...

We're not in 1971 anymore, nowadays nothing comes with a statement, it's all about doing 5 versions of each album, with bonus and remixes, so die hards can buy each version and cash in on a dying market for physical product.
