Dylan being nostalgic. What a load of crap.
I saw him at Jazz Fest in 1998. He was doing Tangled Up In Blue and Grayson and I just stood there and shook our heads for almost the entire song. ONE because the groove was exceptional and Recile was kickin' it and TWO it took us almost the entire song, ha ha, to figure out just what the fu*ck song he was doing!
F*u*c*k everyone that goes off on the nostalgic line of shit. You are the kind of people that grew up in malls. Grow a beard, climb a mountain, cut yourself by actually doing something, get some dirt under yer nails and grow up. You're not in the mall anymore.

I would bet almost nobody knows what any songs are from Exile if you stopped them in the street. It wasn't - and isn't - a big seller or their biggest album or had any hits on it. It's critically hailed and like wise by big time fans but overall it's an album with a bunch of songs on it nobody's heard with a terrible cover. Even Mick thinks it stinks.

Stinks was my own interpretation of what Mick said.

He's the one that pointed out there were not hits on it. I'm assuming he meant something in the Top 10 or whatever - I guess his point being simply nothing that was #1.

All 2 of them.

Tumbling Dice wasn't a 'hit' in those regards (even though it's probably one of their all time best five songs). He said - I forget which book it's in, I guess the red one, that it's got a horrible mix, there are only a couple that can be played live (which he is obviously wrong about since I know they've played Sweet Virginia, Rocks Off, Rip This Joint, All Down The Line, Shine A Light, Happy and Loving Cup that I am aware of)
Exile has sold more than Who's Next? I really doubt that.

Sales figures for double albums are very misleading, how they go gold and platinum and all that. With the exception to the CD sales, you can easily figure HALF of what they sold amounts to actual people having a copy of it. A couple of million? As a double album, that's just a million copies. That's not exactly HUGE. How many copies of CD records they've sold since CDs came out would certainly be a bigger amount since it's only one record now. But something tells me it has yet to even sell 5 million copies. Success and definitive are different.
