Quotemstmst Side note: Last Saturday night stumbled onto a movie on the independent film channel (IFC) called, 'Grand Theft Parsons'. This is a fictionalized account of the theft of the body of Gram by his manager who granted Gram's wish to be creamated in the Joshua Tree desert. It is hilarious, and I recommend it - anyone who's a fan will get a kick out of it. Yes, quite h

Hey kinoliksmith, if you really love her you will not let some stupid ole restraining order keep you away from her. Remember, your love is stronger than paper. But take some chloroform and duct tape with you just in case. And remember, the deeper you dig the grave, the more it shows how much you love her. Good luck!

Well most of us have all heard the version with Keith singing lead...wasn't this basically a scatch vocal for Mick? Leads me to believe that Keith wrote the whole damn thing and maybe even recorded the rythym tracks without Mick even being there, as Mick was so busy shooting Performance.

Is this the show where Keith changes guitars during the opening number Not Fade Away? Seems like his guitar was in the wrong tuning, or broken string or something?

QuoteSlim Harpo Elmo is right: you want to tune to G or maybe easier at first open E. Just tune up your A string to B and your G string to G#. There you go. You can play 6 note chords. Work on your intonation (being in tune) but damping unwanted notes isnt such a problem in open tunings.

Well lets just suppose that Ronnie simply is not in love with Jo anymore, and he would gladly turn over half his estate. He would still be worth millions- a lot more than 99.999% of us.

Does anyone remember the article in, I think it was Time or maybe People, that had a review of this show. The reviewer described the singing as "barnyard vocals". I saw the 2nd S.F. show a few weeks later-my first Stones concert, and was completely mesmerized, they rocked so hard! 50K plus people jumping up and down and dancing like crazy.

How about on the studio version of SFM where Mick sings "yeah" on one track and "no" at the same time on another track after the second "sing in a rock 'n roll band" line? Also, on JJF doesn't the tambourine drop out for about 30 seconds part way through? I read somewhere that the tape split, causing this.

As duly noted by sssoul, surely Keith would have mentioned meeting Elvis in print, and would probably have continuously exaggerated the story over and over to the point where he and Elvis went on a week-long fried peanut butter and banana sandwich bender. Like the cock 'n bull story where Keith met Muddy Waters, who was painting ceiling of Chess studios.

I would agree that trying to compare Keith and Gilmore is like comparing apples to oranges, but I think most of us experienced guitar players would agree that there is at least a certain minimal skill level required to get your point across, and that both Keith and Gilmore are way past this skill level. Below this certain skill level lies suckiness. One of Keith's strengths is that he doesn
