QuoteRollingFreak QuoteVoodooLounge13 For me, the White Album has always been an overhyped record. One that could be scaled back to an excellent long EP or a very short LP, depending on how one looks at it. There are some most excellent tracks on it (Julia, Good Night, Dear Prudence), but there is also a bunch of rubbish. The thing with the White Album is no one can agree on the tracks you'

QuotePaintMonkeyManBlack Quotebv The Keith set is usually two songs, just after the introductions. If there is a "situation in the band", like Keith said on stage in Las Vegas 2016, he might do three songs, but usually he does two songs. More later. Am I reading to much into this part ? Yes.

QuoteVoodooLounge13 I don't really understand the need to add current vocals to ancient tracks. I find it disjointed at best. Not sure why they didn't go The Beatles route and just release some collections of outtakes. Those were great at the time they were released. The Beatles, Neil Young, and Dylan have really been doing great things with their vaults for decades - well maybe not

Quoteflilflam Lady Gaga would be my pick as an opening act. She did sing with the Stones on Sweet Sounds of Heaven. I am surprised no one has mentioned her name. She is truly a great singer, having performed duets with Tony Bennett. She could also join the band for at least one number, such as SSOH. She could easily hit the high notes on Gimme Shelter too. Probably because she's a megast

You're correct - she guested on 'Wild Horses' The Corrs also opened a few dates on the US No Security tour in 1999. Pittsburgh & Philadelphia for sure. Andrea also performed at the 'Ronnie Wood & Fiends' gig

Quoteliddas The photo of Ronnie at the Bains-Douches, Paris, 1983, grabbed my attention for two reasons. The first, I visited Paris on a school trip the following year, and one night I slipped out of the hotel to go to the Bains-Douches disco: who could have known at the time that the Stones had been there? Second, you can see a Marshall amp, like the one you see in the following photo ti

At the show in Dublin last week - the first night of the tour - one of the encores was Lennon & McCartney's 'I Got A Feeling'.

Perhaps next year? this year's Grammys honour music released after 1st October 2022 but before 16th September 2023. 'Angry' is therefore the only song on Hackney Diamonds that was eligible.

Quoteslew 25 x 5 for my money is their best documentary. Crossfire was a little disappointing that it ended in 1982. It was almost like the band was admitting that they were great until 1982 and they aren't very proud of their latter day work. Just my take. The movie was subtitled 'The Rise of The Rolling Stones' so the premise was always to focus on the early years. If anythin
