QuoteSighunt What is really maddening to me is that we get 27 CDs of Dylan & The Band 1974 Live Recordings to extend Sony's ownership of its Dylan copyrights, but yet we may never get an official release of all three of the Stones recorded 1969 performances at MSG. Very sad. Well, Dylan fans just happen to be lucky, since the Dylan people are control freaks who want to keep the copyri

Of the deluxe tracks this is the one I think is the most 'Tattoo Youed'. Jagger took the old out-take and updated it to fit his mouth here and now, not even trying to copy the 'original'. I like his fragile and smooth delivery in the early versions - there is a peculiar charm there - but the new, finally finished version has the Tattoo You-like determination, the dude knowing

QuoteSpud Sadly, I don't think they'll release a live album of the HD tour whilst there may be plans to extend the tour into other markets. It's always been almost as though they think that if fans can buy a recording of the show first, they won't then go and see it live. Or, perhaps more likely, they would want to include material from other tour legs in the product..

QuoteTheflyingDutchman QuoteTravelinMan I highly doubt Jagger was playing acoustic on a basic tracking session. My gut tells me it’s Taylor on acoustic and Richards on electric and this was done when Hopkins was in Jamaica. Maybe they overdubbed in LA, but it’s strange that’s Taylor’s memory of this particular song if he had no input. I can imagine that you don't exactly remember what yo

I have always taken the story of "Lynyrd Skynyrd blew the Stones off their own stage" just a fabrication of English rock journalism to bash the Stones. The big and bad Stones were during the 70's an easy and obvious target to show one's credentials as a serious, critical rock journalist... Surely an uprising new and hot band blowing off the degenerated old semi-gods is a cool,

Funny to think that Mick might be the fittest person of his age group there at the stadium watching The Olympics. And ironically coming from a culture not that well-known about healthy life style... How many of those athletes there on the field today will be that fit when they hit their eighties? Mick, of course, is an anomaly, but generally the rock stars and professional athletes seem to liv

They will continue, tour by tour, forever, as long as health allows. That's why I think it is useless to predict anything, since any prediction is based on speculating about their health, and that's not civil. And actually none of our business. Like Horace once put it: Carpe diem. Or like Keith Richards updated it: "I'll just keep on rocking, and hope for the best".

Wow! The magic of track - the key components, tempo, drive - is already there - despite not having yet the distinctive electric Open G. I wonder if this is the riff Mick initially wrote. If so, Keith's handling of it actually just changes or develops it in nuances with his idiosyncratic feel. Makes also sense why Keith calls his own contribution as 'arrangement'. But then again, we

In a way he continued from where Alexis' Blues Incorporated left us: his Bluesbreakers was a sort of high school of British blues musicians.
