Looks like Bill didn't make it in to any of the pics whatsoever - not even any of the pics in the booklet. A shame....

He was never exciting or engaging. He just kinda stood there.

Seems reasonable.

He just stood there? I always thought, he was the bass player.

But in this case they have to remove Mick Taylor in all the old pictures as well - he just kinda stood there. No jumping around at all. And what about Charlie?

Charlie? He just sat there.

Here's my preview piece for The Arts Desk on El Mocambo as well as SIXTY and the upcoming tour. All I can say is, while there may be complaints about the sound of this release V LYL side 3, everything negative drops away once you drop the needle on the tracks. Or should do. Maybe not on this forum.... the Black & Blue cuts are my favourites, then the club cuts - a fantastic Little Red Rooster that's different by some ways from Love You Live, and an incredible band performance. Mannish Boy sans the overdubs is less scrappy and shouty. The final trio of Luxury, Melody and Worried About You - fantastically loose but bang on target. There's some kind of bouncy electronic track going on in Luxury that has to snake dance with Keith's guitar to find its place... It does. There's no argument with the music - review based on online files. Can't wait to get an actual physical copy.

Imagine being lucky enough to have been there to watch that!

Always nice to see STU playing his major chords boogie on stage!




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

absolutely

What will you do when receive the record?

Was thinking of inviting friends for a listening party with very loud music and lost of alcohol ... but I am not too sure that I will be able to wait for the friends to arrive!

Like the conversation at the end of tumbling dice:
"Ronnie is inviting you all to his room - will be tight - bring your own beer"

something like that

Nobody wanted Mandel yet he was specifically invited to play on the sessions? I think you need to read the interview he gave on the topic.

Richards wanted Perkins because they got along great, and Jagger wanted Mandel because he was more experimental. That’s why they were invited to the sessions. In the end, they compromised with a British guy.

Is there an interview with Mandel on his Stones auditions?

The thing is that only a few guitarists were specifically invited by Jagger (Beck, Wood), but most were invited by Ian Stewart on advise from other musicians like Eric Clapton. Apparently the Stones weren't really on the ball of great guitarists. Wyman commented that it was Clapton who advised on Mandel and Perkins, and Wyman has stated in an interview that they thought all the effects Mandel used where just gimmicks and not fitting the band.

Whats your top Three songs on this release?

There is not a top songs, all they are very good played, the band was on fire, you can listen every instrument in excellent perfonrmance.

it was a great setlist!

Helpful hint: record distributors got the album on Monday. And if you know the wrong people...

Spoiler alert: guess who plays piano on Worried Life!

At the Keith/ Bobby Keys birthday party after Hampton '81 show, I saw Bob Clearmountain standing next to the Saxophone cake and simply told him, "Man, you got great ears." Still true.

I'm also reminded of the Country Club Jagger-Beck mini-concert. After a handful of covers, aware of the ongoing "Stones Feud", I saw a half-chuckle when I cautiously asked Mick, "How 'bout some Cockroaches?" Next song: Miss You.

Have a great loud weekend with this fabulous release.

Right!! Nothing to complain about for this one. Just 2 more days for me (cd for me, i think, unless store i go to has the vinyl <-- definitely possible)

This is a truly, truly absolutely truly fantastic release! Spoilers now...

The sound is utterly fantastic, much drier than the previously four released tracks. The playing is FANTASTIC, nobody ever played better than this, Preston and Ollie Brown turn it into a party, and Jagger has never sung any better than on this release (in fact so good on Cracking Up that it could have been done in a studio back in the day...). They left a few of the overdubs as well, like Wood's second guitar in Cracking Up, a harmonica in Mannish Boy, and the first solo of Worried Life Blues.

I think this might be the best live release from the Stones. It even blows Ya Ya's out of the water....

Now I’m really excited after reading this.

I have to agree. Bar Brussels 73, and maybe even including that, this is the best live set they'll ever release. Hard to pick a top three - a top 24 is an easier task ...

Ok ok Brussels is mythical...

Top 3 is hard to pick, but on number 1 is Dance Little Sister! Stones RnR doesn't get any better than this. Why they played this one only a few times is beyond me!

Thanks to you and others for the positive comments on the Arts Desk piece ... I did try to contact Ollie E Brown via his real estate business to see if I could talk to him about El Mocambo and the Stones, but alas, that didn't work out...
Agreed re Dance Little Sister, which is peerless...

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it

That's pretty wild about the effects that Mandel used were just gimmicks and not fitting the band . That is just too true not to believe about the Twins .
