First impression: the best live rendition of IORR I have ever heard.

For me the most notable are Gimme Shelter and IORR.

Happy birthday Bill! Thank you for being part of the best ever rock'n'roll rhythm section.

Quoterollmops I don't like it. Sorry. Great musicians both but how they use their voices for that song doesn't sway me at all. +1 I love Lucinda but this is not her best

QuoteMathijs Qualitatively Exile and Some Girls might be the best albums, or the most important albums, but I hardly ever play these albums anymore. Tattoo You still gets a lot of rotation, as does Undercover. When I play Stones, it's mostly live, and outtakes. Mathijs As much as I love Stone's studio records, I have always preferred their live performances, official or non-off

Quoteroby There are dozens of guitarists who could have transcended the Stones' post-blues direction. Much better than Ronnie, with brilliance, dedication, and talent. Mick Taylor, among others, if he hadn't left the band. The Stones deserved better musically. What is "musically"? A guitar virtuoso? That would not work. Another composer or musical director? Would not work

Great man. RIP

The solo is great but the band during the solo is too busy for my taste.

Surprise appearance for 3 songs on Jimmie Vaughan gig in London last night. Looked very good and played even better. What a band!

QuoteSilver Dagger Quotetreaclefingers QuoteTaylor1 Exile is the greatest rock album and not least of which because it carries it's consistency over 4 sides of vinyl. It's hard to make a great single album, Exile isn't just an album, it's a place. That's great and absolutely right. Exile On Main St is a place you can visit if you're feeling happy, sad or anythin

Paul Trynka's book suggests that Brian was the intended target of the Redland bust and that he was systematically hunted by the police which contributed to his mental state.

Quotepeoplewitheyes I thought Zak played great at the RAH, but the drum sound was terrible. Muted and quiet. Level 42 were the warm up act, and their drums sounded so much more vital and kicked you in the guts. Is it a simple difference of elec. v acoustic drum kits? I love the Who dearly, and think Roger has an incredible voice, but I have increasingly come to the conclusion over the las

Yesterday was the first time I say The Who live. I can't belive I missed such a legendary band all these years. I loved every minute of it. At the place I was sitting the sound was fantastic. Great to see that, as the Stones, they can also mess up a song or two.

QuoteRutger There are people who think that Harvey Mandel is a better guitar player than Ronnie Wood. There are also people who think that Ronnie Wood is a better guitar player than Keith Richards. Like a guy that plays in a local band told me last week. Many people will also tell you that Taylor 'can play circles around Keith', completely missing the point. I just don't take those

Quotewinos My take from far away in Australia waiting for another Stones tour here since 2014 .....is that Mick & Keith have sniffed the economic breeze and decided there's not enough money to be made this year in Europe. Many economies are struggling so maybe better to wait it out. Maybe they should come down to Australia & NZ for a holiday and tour! There is not much time left

I have never seen 28 penalty shoot out before. It was a rather cautious game from both Sweden and Czechia.

Canada - far too many unnecessary penalties. Weird from such a good team.

Ronnie has a gift to fit with anyone and it always feels good.

Another thing is that, at least for me, rocknroll is music which needs to be played (and heard and seen) live and there must be some sort of visual show by which I don't mean gigantic screens and expensive props but interaction between musicians and with audience. The Stones are the masters playing live. I even believe that they enjoy it.
Forum: Tell Me

Saw it in cinema yesterday. Fabulous. It is the first Stones concert move I have seen where Keith outshined Mick.
Forum: Tell Me

Keith is very eloquent (as almost always) and in this one he was surprisingly patient. He would deserve a good informed interviewer.
Forum: Tell Me

It may be rock, but it is also essence of American music (blues, gospel, country, rocknroll...). Masterpiece.

QuoteRutger I have to disagree. Just My Imagination from Hampton 81 is very good, but the Texas 78 version is even better. It's raw, has truly brilliant guitar interplay and Jagger's performance is at the very top. video: Yes, this is pure Stones. Unmitable.

QuoteGasLightStreet Quotepaulywaul Quotepoor immigrant Keith sounds great !!! You think so ? Really ? We're obviously hearing different things. To me, he sounds perilously close to being out of tune ! He's in tune. What isn't happening is Keith following the song structure, so he goes out of key, hence your idea of "perilously close to being out of tune". I
