Im not disappointed and he’s not my little hero.And I bet I have more money than you think, but all I’m saying it’s a boring place.Im not questioning why he moved there.Im just saying it’s funny.If you lived here, which you obviously don’t, you would’ve,what’s that big word you used,be”cognizant” of that.Quote

Taylor1I think I’m more qualified than someone like you who has never been there to talk about what it’s like there.America has many spectacular places like the lands in Utah and California, beaches like the Big Sur, Floridaand Cape Cod . Great, exciting cities like NYC, Miami, SanFrancisco.Thats why international tourists flock to them.There are no tourists who flock to Weston or Fairfield County where it is located.There are no forests for hunters or tourists to look at beautiful mountains or lakes.Its bland upscale suburban living. Going to Starbucks or the ice cream shop is the big Saturday night event for most people.Again,a great place for families.Very wholesome.But if I had his money I’d live somewhere spectacularly beautiful like the Isle of Capri. You should really go to Weston and see for yourself ,before you judge my comments Im not upset he doesn’t live in the city. But it’s not a country estate really .Its pure upscale NYC suburbia.Which is great.It just strikes me as funny that the rock n roll King lives there.Next time you are in New York you and I will take a ride to Westonand hang out at the ice cream shop.Maybe Keith will be thereQuote

Taylor1Ive lived within 20 miles of Weston most of my life.It is not surrounded by forests.It has wooded areas but they are not forests.There is nothing that beautiful about the topography.No mountains,large lakes or ocean.It is not country living either as there is quite a lot of suburban development.Mostly upscale white people.No museums, nightclubs, or sports teams.The closest city is Stamford, about 10 miles away.And Stamford is a small city.Weston is great to raise kids or if you want a real upscale suburban existence, but it is boring.Its great like I said to raise your kids and wiz over to the local Starbucks, but not a wild place.Thinking of the guy throwing the tv out of the hotel room in CS Blues, I can’t picture him living thereQuote

Taylor1You are right,he lives in an adjacent town to Greenwichcalled Weston which is also bland suburbia.Located about an hours drive north of NYC. it’s even more boring than Greenwich.Its not on the Long Island Sound ,and it has nothing special in terms of topography.Nice upscale suburban community with no nightlifeNice little town,expensive.Pretty woods and foliage, but not like living on the Isle of Capri or the South of FranceQuote
bye bye johnny
Keith doesn't live in Greenwich.
Bland suburbia...
Let's see. It's not far from Long Island Sound. Keith's home is surrounded by forests.
It's similar to where I live: across the lake from New Orleans, surrounded by trees and bayous and it's generally quiet.
Explain what's boring and bland and in comparison to what doesn't qualify as boring and bland for you.
So you're uptight and disappointed that Keith lives in the middle of nowhere.
I looked at it on Google Maps - tons of trees around. That's forest.
You have a skewed vision of what life is it seems. You describe what it doesn't have as if it's not the city.
How enlightening.
Gee, it's not a city.
Goddamn. Stop whining.
I've been all around New England and New York. I know enough, I've seen enough. I just don't understand why you're so disappointed. It's like your little hero has let you down. It makes zero sense. And you keep bringing up Starbucks etc, like that is some kind of barometer for culture - it's just a coffee place. For whatever reason you're using that as a gauge. It's fake.
If you had his money... you don't have his mindset or life experience. Money has nothing to do with it. There's probably very good reason for why it was decided to live there and it's clearly reason that you are not able to be cognizant of.

Giles Martin or whoever will be able to do some improvements, possibly, but ultimately as mentioned by others so often in discussing new reissues, you will have to contend with "brickwall" mastering, and my guess is that the basic sound will remain the same as or very close to the original, though even more compressed and then turned up level wise. Which is not bad, the original I mean...although it is not state of the art it does have its own "sound" and tone, something I noticed from the beginning and hope is retained in this update.
My point though is to say, not to expect miracles, possibly it will sound a little better but probably not earthshakingly different. If you didn't like the sound before, you will probably not like the sound now. Again, I think the sound and ambiance of the original fit the material perfectly. Its a smoky, dense sounding mix and reeks of the time and place.

That's all pure speculation. Wait until it's out. In exactly 37 hours from now you can hear the 1st snippets of GHS 2020 on iTunes (NZ-Store) - [Music.Apple.com] .

Not sure why it matters so much where Keith lives, or why...shouldn't we be arguing over GHS deluxe bonus tracks or something relevant instead? lol

The question is what was his job. Was he engaged to improve the original mix or was it his job to do a completely new and modern mix? We will hear on Friday
A new mix is a new mix. There's no way to improve the original mix. That would require a board with memory and to my knowledge that didn't exist in 1973.
It wouldn't be surprising if there is a little more clarity with Giles' mix.

Technically you are right but of course Mick can say "it should sound like the old mix but with improved sound" or he could say "here are the original tapes. Now you can play with it however you like and create something completely new"

and what a pleasure to have such a different "dancing with mr.d" - great slide work by mick taylor, horns.....like an outtake from exile!
This guy says Taylor was more of a writer than guitarist on GHS.That Taylor was a writer of Winter .Taylor played steel guitar on Dancing With Mr D? He also says his acoustic guitar stands out on Angie.I can barely hear his guitar on Angie.And he says Taylor plays “wah wah pedal” on Heartbreaker. Is any of that accurate?Quote

"Goats Head Soup is the band’s greatest tribute to the soul idiom, a love letter to the blues music that so captivated them and a riveting showcase of Mick Jagger’s vocal abilities at their most zestful and anarchic."

Probably confusing steel with slide guitar.
