Been listening to Brilliant Adventure this week. Wondering when the final instalment in the series will see the light of day. I recently read that there were more than 30 songs under consideration for The Next Day. I’m guessing there must have been extra material from the Heathen and Reality sessions as well.

I don’t need or want to replace them. Just happy that I was around to see them as many times as I have and to have listened to their incredible canon of recorded music for 40 years and hopefully another 20 or more if I’m lucky.

Went to over 150 concerts between 1989 and 2019. Including 17 Rolling Stones shows and double-digit Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen shows. Was lucky enough to see Richard Thompson, Tom Waits, Neil Young, Jerry Garcia Band, Lou Reed, John Prine and David Bowie as well as many other greats. After the pandemic shutdown, I find there are few artists left on the road that I want to see (Wilco, Ja

Purchased this on cassette in 1988 on my lunch during my Grade 11 year. A cool memory for me, my friends and I were just starting to drive to school, and going to the local record store at lunch was liberating and exhilarating. For me, the versions of JJF and SFTD are my preferred listens. Love the cover shot.

Love Petty. Like Steve Earle & Willie Nelson. Respect for Dolly & Marty Stuart. Don’t know much George Strait, but I do play “Seashores of Old Mexico” now & again. Don’t know some of these other artists. Not a fan of “new” country or the curious hybrid of country/hip hop that I have been hearing in places. Mainstream popular music is noise pollution IMO. /end rant

It’s a bloody miracle that the Stones are still Rolling in 2024. I hope everyone enjoys the show(s) they attend and there are some surprises in the setlists along the way. After 25+ years of attending shows, I’m now content to play my records and enjoy the band from the comfort of my own home and automobile. July 11, 2015 in Orchard Park was “The Last Time” for me as far as shows go. I lov

Should be rechristened the “Popular Music Hall of Fame”. They have insisted on several inductions a year and have pretty much run out of worthy acts. Mariah Carey??? That ain’t Rock n roll. R&R isn’t what it used to be and it’s unlikely it ever will be again. The kids today don’t get it.

QuoteSpud I've never had much interest in this timings stuff, but are most differences due to how quickly the track is faded out ? Now that's something that has often frustrated me. Tracks faded out with the band still in full glorious flow , leaving us to wish that they'd let us hear a little more. I wish the outro to Sway went on for a few more minutes.

Lazarus, Dollar Days and I Can’t Give Everything Away are standouts. Overall, it’s a great listen from start to finish.

The Springsteen records since Ghost of Tom Joad have been underwhelming to say the least. I do like Western Stars. And the Rising has many fine moments as well. Magic had a couple decent tracks. I think the 8 minute song you are referring to is “Outlaw Pete”, which was expansive but also terrible. The rest of that record is unlistenable. (I meant to quote an earlier post, which is why t

Not surprised that he covered LC in MTL, but am surprised that he passed on two opportunities to cover a Gordon Lightfoot song at the house that Gord built - Massey Hall.

Quote2120Joe I saw a Dylan show about two weeks ago, Sun Oct 8, in Chicago. He and the band sounded as good as ever. Very talented group. I’m sure if you are a Dylan fan you would have loved the show. I love some Dylan songs but he did not play any that I knew and those songs I do know such as Multitudes was played in an unrecognizable way. The venue stopped selling beer a half hour after the s

Was at the show in Rochester, NY last night. Fantastic stuff. Nine of the eighteen songs played were from Rough & Rowdy Ways (there are 10 tracks on the LP) and they were all played wonderfully, in particular "My Own Version of You", "False Prophet" and "Key West". He also performed "Stella Blue", and a handful of album tracks from his canon. Cell

It will take weeks, maybe months, maybe longer for me to decide what I think of this release. As an older fan, I don't like modern production values and haven't liked modern production since 1981 probably. Occasionally I've taken to a Stones original post '81. "Undercover of the Night" is very 1983 but I love it. "Saint of Me" is late '90s but I li

I’ll give it some time, but I don’t anticipate liking this any more or less than Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge, Bigger Bang etc. The only long players I consider worth spinning in their entirety since 1981 are Talk is Cheap & Main Offender. Every other Stones release has tracks I like enough to listen to on the radio or ones I might even add to playlists today or mixed tapes back in the
