Many people who have heard Johnny Winter for the first time and ever intended to learn the guitar will have thought to themselves: Leave it, you'll never be able to play like that. There is no way to master this instrument anywhere near as well as Johnny. He also had a blues feel that was absolutely unique (It's My Own Fault on Johnny Winter And Live). I would have liked the lists of th

As far as the sound quality is concerned, Shepherd's Bush is surprisingly good. Many other vault releases are unfortunately catastrophic, especially Miami 1994 and Wembley 1982. Of course we won't get those Guitars in Your Face mixes from 1969-1982, unfortunately ... So even songs like Saint Of Me, which should have some AC/DC guitar power treatment, are rather disappointing, always hav

Quoteflairville I think Moon sounds bloody brilliant, Ronnie’s a bit lost but the rest of the band are on fire, especially Keef! So is my impression, too. The bluesy structure of the song is more prominent on this live take. I'm very satisfied with this.

I think that's an interesting point. In my opinion, the old, real Rolling Stones no longer existed after Leeds in 1982. They were moving towards being their own cover band in their performances, not so much with their albums. Their albums offered some surprises. A Bigger Bang and Blue & Lonesome are among my favourites. Of their performances after 82, only the 94/95 tour, which is record

Whenever I hear examples of the 1969 tour, I regret that there are no more official documents (except the ones we have). Everything that was professionally recorded should be released well mixed (no Sam Wheat). Our appeal to ABKCO regarding the New York concerts has so far been unsuccessful - unfortunately.

With Ronnie, I have the feeling that he could play just about anything if he wanted to. His solo performances outside the Stones in particular show that. It's a matter of taste how you rate his solos on the current tour. I'm rather less enthusiastic about them, to put it kindly. Why this butchering at SMU, TD and YCAGWYW for example? I'd rather listen to his solos in LA 75! Or the

I would have no problem if they skipped it. I never liked this disco track. I remember that Keith pointed out the Blues structure of the song. Thus, it would be interesting if they played it as Blues.

QuoteMuddyw Well, with the exception of Mocambo there is no hope on a decent, well mixed and produced live album release.
