QuoteGasLightStreet I've never come across anything that the Stones themselves said they had something or anything, for that matter, to prove. They just wanted to play music. They still do. So that hasn't changed. Perhaps they have never overtly said it, but I think the spectacle of their shows demonstrates they are trying to prove something -- bigger, better than anyone else, l

Well, not that my opinion makes any difference, but after listening to the IORR/RTJ mp3, I'm not overwhelmed with the mix either. The overdone reverb on Mick removes the intimacy of the club gig. Unfortunate. Now, I'm in the camp that now loves LYL. I admit, I didn't at first when it came out, but it was live Stones, so I played the hell out of it, 8 track, cassette, and viny

QuoteWoz QuoteBashlets It won’t even sound like the stones. I’m out LOL! Overreact much? No doubt this sucks but it will sound like the Stones. Probably not. Watch a Winos video. Jordan beats the hell out of the drums. Charlie has a smooth jazzman's touch. It will sound like Keith Moon sitting in, although Jordan can keep time. Duck

I was being very kind when I limited my description of Dave Matthews' "singing" as "droning"...

I can't tell you how happy I was to get the official "Bridges to Bremen" and have the Bob Clearmountain mix of "Memory Motel" without Dave Matthews' droning on it. Duck

While I always look at these stupid things -- effective clickbait -- I don't put any stock in them. They're designed to provoke an emotional response -- usually a disagreement -- and get you to keep clicking. This is the website that apparently has no idea that two of the tracks on "Got Live If You Want It" were studio recordings mixed with audience noise, at least they

Can only speak to my experience, but I was able to transfer all my Google Play Music purchases to YouTube Music without any problem. I bought all the Stones Archive releases GPM had for sale when they came out. They are now in "My Library" on YouTube Music and they all play without commercials. I've now probably uploaded more than 30 albums (converted to mp3) to "My Libra

Quotepeoplewitheyes Certainly it was a braver choice of single than, say, Crazy Mama or Hand of Fate. Solid rockers, but a little formulaic, even then. I agree with that. Both tracks seem pretty pedestrian to me, Hand of Fate being the better of the two. When I bought the album in '76, I gravitated to Melody, Memory Motel and Fool to Cry, in that order. I never felt it was a bad album,

QuoteMadMax Quotetreaclefingers QuoteMileHigh QuoteChris Fountain QuotePietro QuoteHairball It's an embarrassing song to the Stones legacy. I love the guitars though, and the groove by Charlie and Bill really gets going strong midway. But it's Micks vocals that ruin it for me . They are silly and contrived, wanting to sound like the singer from KC and the Sunshine band. KC

I saw "Live In Texas '78" in the theater when it was out for that two day run prior to the release on disc. I'm sure it had a lot to do with the mix, THX Certified Theater Audio, etc., but I was completely knocked out by the drums in that show. I just remember the kick they had and just how they stood out. His playing was incredible. That said, played on a good stereo, h

Lennon refusing to perform without letting Yoko squeal on stage is in Philip Norman's biography, "John Lennon: The Life" and in his McCartney biography, "Paul McCartney".

When LAGTRS came out on official video, I read that the audio came directly from the audio track on physical film stock. The actual film that was the source for the official release was found in Ian Stewart's garage and it was in almost pristine condition so it was used for the official release. The multi-track audio masters have yet to be located. So that's why the official CD audio

Don't know if you ever got an answer to this... Japanese and U.S. blu rays are the same region code so they will play on a U.S. player. Sometimes extras are formatted in the DVD standard, but that's OK in the case of Japan since they also use the NTSC standard. I have a number of blu rays purchased directly from CDJapan and they all play fine on a standard U.S. blu ray player.

You don't need a region free Blu Ray player to play Japanese Blu Rays. They are the same region code as U.S. Blu Rays, Region code A Region A: North America, South America, U.S. Territories, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and other areas of Southeast Asia. DVDs are another story. Although Japanese DVDs have the same video format as U.S, NTSC, they ARE a different region code. U.S. is
