QuoteHairball Would be great if they did do a new studio version of the Beatles Come Together! The Stones butchered it at Desert Trip, but in a studio setting...it could be fantastic. I wondered about that as well since Mick did mention at the time that it sounded great in rehearsals but fell apart onstage.

Tony, is ReelStones still trade for trade only? I spoke to you or someone at the label a number of years ago when you first surfaced on IORR and that was the case at the time. I'm presuming that is the case and the real reason behind this bit of ugliness with longtime inner circle collectors here.

Over the years, I've had the good fortune to chat with several Stones insiders on social media. Usually, we had mutual acquaintances of a nature that gave us a shared intersection outside the Stones and established me as somewhat legit in the individual's eyes. Most of what was discussed hardly surprised me, but I would never discuss it online out of respect. I was curious about a

I'd say it is pretty much par for the course these days to equate articulating informed opinions with lies and manipulation. Some of us have been here so long we remember when people just argued over who was playing what and stayed civil to one another.

We're not in a private club where only members see what we post. Asking personal health questions is pointless in a public forum.

QuoteHairball Seems a bit odd to go back in time and base entire shows and a residency on an album that's over three decades old - maybe they're recognizing their latter era output has been inferior? Definitely has a Vegas vibe to it all...like a musical/theatrical cirque de soleil show. Strange days for U2...they used to be a pretty good band in the early-mid '80's. Suc

QuoteHairball According to Steve Jordan, Keith's version is actually better than the Stones released version. Can't find a link, but it was quoted regularly here for quite a while around the time Crosseyed Heart was released.
