The stated intent of the film was to recover, or remind people of, the aura of danger that the band projected. Hence the choice to not show the band's contemporaneous wrinkled faces. I think it worked.

QuoteMathijs Quoteterraplane I suppose if Ry recorded the guitar parts for Let It Bleed and Keith did a sponge job ie, copied them basically note for note (which is what I read somewhere) then wiped Ry's track, wouldn't Ry Cooder not be paid performer's royalties/fees for some of the tracks? If that is the case, then I could see why he would feel aggrieved. What is interest

For Zip Code show last summer, I sat as close as I've ever been to the stage, and for least amount of money since the Licks tour. I don't think we'll be getting the same deal this fall, with the show going back under a roof and in major markets.

People need to distinguished between "slick" and "produced." There is nothing slick about A Bigger Bang. Much of it sounds like it was cut live, with minimal overdubs. But it is arguably underproduced or undercooked. Exile On Main Street is raw but *produced*, in the sense that there's a lot going on with instrumentation, background vocals, horns, arrangements, etc. St

If '81 was a dud, Mick Jagger and his coke-addled voice was the chief culprit.
Forum: Tell Me

Yup, Mick solo led directly to the 1989 sound. You could even go back to Mick's experience with the Hall and Oates Orchestra at Live Aid. I think Chuck was responsible for bringing things back to earth a bit for the '94 tour (suggesting they could get by with just one keyboard, for example). And they've pared back even more since '12, which was a pleasant surprise.

Guys, I did not intend to rekindle a debate about the relative merits of Mick Jagger's solo material. All I'm saying is that PC is harmonically complex and interesting. The more curious question to me is: Knowing that people were not commercially receptive to Ambitious Mick, did he at some point say "F it; I'll give them 'Oh No, Not You Again' instead"?

For better and worse, Mick was never, or wasn't often, stuck in the I-IV-V box. Brown Sugar, for starters: the intro is up and down the neck. Moonlight Mile ... High Wire!

Okay, so here's what I'm talking about: I don't remember who plays piano on the "Primitive" title track but on the intro, after Cm-Bb and Cm-Bb-Gm, he plays a tension chord for two beats that sounds to me like a C9/E. And then the last chord before the band kicks in is a Gm/Eb. Like I said, very hip.
