Still Life sucked and the 1981 tour was a disaster. There is a reason they never toured without backups again. Even the astilbes knew they were not very good in 1981.

What a total load of bollocks.

i agree, in my youth it was my first connection into the Stones, and its still my favourite tour !

for the love of stanlove what is stanlove talking about?!

Who bloody well knows. But he has seen the videos...

Saw a few couple concerts on the tour, dead crowds all over the place.

Ah.

This old lot of crap pops up again.

Try again.

Fake statement.

1981 tour was huge. Your Fox News ego won't change history. Get over yourself.

Fox News? What are you even talking about.
Nobody said it wasn’t huge. It just wasn’t very good.
Second song of the concert and the crowd was acting like they we’re at a college lecture. The whole tour was like that.

Wow...that's a great clip, love it. Love to seem them play like that again.

This is a fabulously designed item...they put some thought into it. It'll sell like a bitch and they'll just keep printing them.

Good for them, on a very worthwhile release.

Not sure where mick64 was looking, but it's till available for preorder everywhere, including udiscover and the official store.

[shop.udiscovermusic.com]

[therollingstonesshop.com]

Highly overpriced, and intended for a niche market of diehard/collectors, but more than likely there will eventually be price drops as is always the case.

A little off topic, but I after reading a bit about the background story of the El Mocamba club show, a question came up.

The Stones came to Toronto in February 1977 for the Toronto club show and reserved some time for rehearsals. Keith was arrested in his hotel room on February 27th, 1977, for possession of a serious amount of heroin (and intent to traffic) and some cocaine. He was released on bail (I assume the same day), so he returned to the hotel.

The El Mocambo shows where on 4th and 5th of March. So practically Keith had 4 or 5 days to sober up and do the first show. So my question is: did Keith get clean in this short period (cold turkey)? It seems unlikely to me, because I can't imagine that 'after three days of climbing walls' someone is able to stand on his feet normally, not to say perform a show. I know, we're talking about Keith Richards, not a good example what is 'normal', but anyway it's still pretty impressing.

More likely would be that he was still into heroin the week after the bust. But if that's the case, didn't he take a huge risk of getting caught again and face years and years in prison?

Really curious how he got in shape for the El Mocamba shows. Does anyone have information about his condition on stage during those shows (probably not too bad, regarding the good reviews of the two nights)?

Ordered the CD set.. Price for the vinyl is too rich for my blood

According to Bill Wyman he went out and copped some junk for Keith. So....there's that.

Well, I guess at this point at least CDs are also old school.

Ordered mine at platenzaak.nl.
Really excited about this release. Curious what Clearmountain did with the mix.
The bootlegs were not very hi-fi.

Just as long as the guitar plays, let it steal your heart away

The acetate sounded great, warm, lively and raw.

Can’t READ the Japanese site nor find a way to have it in English
The US link for Sound of Vinyl sends new straight to an Australian site for them and the product is not on there.

You're probably right, I never read that one. First I ever heard that story was from the Keith book, don't recall anyone ever bringing that up before, not on this msg. board. Hence why I thought Keith was the first reveal.

I remember reading it and feeling it was a bit of betrayal on Bill's part. Maybe that was something that should have been kept private between Bill and Keith. And I thought it could have created ill feelings between the two. It doesn't appear so, and as you noted, Keith did mention it in his later book.
