You could add Malaysia if you wanted to get technical Singapore was part of Malaysia when they first played there

Fairfax media have an archive of Stones pics which can be found here some cool photo's of the 60's tours. Not much for the 73 tour unfortunately however

"As far as I know Keith has never been paid to play any guitar" Mathjis I've got an old-70's I think-Gibson advertisement somewhere that features Keith (playing a black Gibson if I recall correctly) I imagine he would have been paid for that?

Charlie's song choice on his desert island disk show is pretty interesting. Two of them aren't even songs-a cricket broadcast from 1956 and a Tony Hancock/Sid James comedy skit. Jazz, classical but no R&B Blues, early rock and roll etc

Tom Waits was great. Liked the bit about him feeling intimidated when Keith turned up with a truck full of guitars and a "guitar valet"
Forum: Tell Me

I liked the bit where he talks about some rock music sounding like a marching tune, saying it's no good without the roll man. He gives a brief demonstration of such a song, sounded vaguely like we will rock you

Capaldi seems to be doing a Keith impersonation at one spot in the promo for Dr Who currently being flogged on ABC in Australia

70% Was Brian a "member" of Blues Incorporated? as opposed to playing with them from time to time?

If we're going to get technical here, a sousaphone is a type of tuba and tuba is the Latin word for trumpet. So I was kind of right

Tuba yes-that's what I meant!

No doubt this has been posted previously but still good for a laugh. Possibly only available footage of Keith playing (or pretending to play) a trumpet video:

my 6 favorites 1-YCAGWYW Brussels Affair 9/10. would have got 10 but the sax solo goes onto a bit too long 2-Little Queenie Ya Ya's 9/10. would have got 10 but I guess its not really "live" with the overdubs 3-Midnight Rambler Brussels Affair. 9/10. would have got 10 but they play it a bit too fast 4-Love in Vain-Ladies & Gentleman. 9/10.

Doxa's close I think. I've seen every Stones gig in Melbourne since 73-apart from the night time gig in 73- as well as Jagger's solo tour. The 73 concert was easily the best but as they say the past is a foreign country. Last weeks concert was I think the best of the modern era stones that I have seen and for the reasons set out by Doxa. Last time they were in Melbourne (I'm n

In 2012 Rolling Stone placed MT 30 something in its 100 greatest guitarists list. The commentary referred to his "brilliant" imitation of a harmonica in All Down the Line. Can't quite hear that myself-anybody else?

I came across this in my travels which repeats the generally accepted view that James Brown wiped the floor with the Stones with his performance at the 1964 TAMI concert. The author describes the Stones performance as "bland and compromising" I beg to differ. Brown certainly gives it his all and was no doubt a very hard act to follow. However the Stones in my view rise to the

Interesting read Rockman. I read somewhere once that Rolf Harris was on that tour as well?? Weird combo if true

thanks Rockman -the dangerous minds website is pretty scathing about Mick's performance. There's lots of interesting non stones material there-I liked the Screaming Lord Sutch doco
