Quotesnorton I recall hearing that approximately half the machines went to US, other half for Europe and UK. I think most of them went to bars, pool halls and other more adult type establishments...which probably explains why I never saw one in the flesh until I bought mine.

QuoteMore Hot Rocks QuoteLynd8 That's so cool! How much do they go for? And, isn't it about time they release that video on DVD??? God i hope not....... LOL! It was the best a Stones fan could get in 1984 so it still has a place in my heart. Neat to see Mick and Bill interact particularly as he would leave just 7 years later.

OK, some more details. I "came of age" in the late 70s and early 80s and rather than Pac-Man, Asteriods or Donkey Kong, I always went straight to the pinballs in the arcade. So when a local collector shop recently posted a picture of their pinballs on their Facebook page...I saw The Rolling Stones pinball! I sent them a message to see if it was even a financial possibility. Long story

Just never really understood or liked Mick's clothes on 1972 tour. In color they look even more ridiculous to me. Just not my definition of cool...but a lot of bands were also trying to find their image that year.

I really like the tone of the main rhythm guitar on Slave which I assume is Keith. Does anyone know the guitar and amp set-up here? Doesn't sound open G to me and I can't place it as a Fender or Gibson sound. To me, the guitar solo sounds like Keith on a Telecaster or Gibson Jr. Anyone have any insights?

Can we analyse that disaster? It seems like Keith started out OK, bu the rhythm section came in off beat and it took them for even to get synched up. Bill's expression at 3:58 is priceless.

I wonder if this incident left a bad taste about US audiences in Jagger's mouth and led to the band's touring hiatus after 1981. Sort of like Roger Waters after 1977 US Pink Floyd tour. Mick must have been wondering what kind of audience they created...given the band's love for all sorts of music from reggae, funk, country and of course rock. They Stones are a lot of things, but

Have we confirmed Mick Taylor is in the film? Maybe he was called back in case Woody and Keith failed to make it.

I never knew this! I wish they would have shared that sort of thing when the video first came out. I would have discovered Little Richard and The Girl Can't Help It earlier.

Terrific color footage of Stones entourage landing at Love Field (minus Richards and Wood who were "delayed" in Arkansas). Mick looks a bit pissed off about this. Also footage of Cotton Bowl crowd sweltering in Texas heat. Enjoy!

There are a few on Amazon right now I think. It's funny, before I found mine at a thrift store, I had searched Amazon extensively for Stones books I might have missed. Or perhaps I had seen this one an thought it wasn't official as the cover looks a bit amatuerish. Yes! Mine is starting to fall apart, but its not too bad. Just a page or two near the end.

After collecting Stones items for 30 years, I recently discovered the 1978 book "The Rolling Stones on Tour" at a Goodwill store of all places. I thought I was aware of all band-released books and was surprised when I came across this one. I had no idea of its existence! It's an oversized paperback book with an intro from Mick and extensive photos of the 1975 Tour of the America
