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?

Mick with Stevie Ray Vaughan and band. Picture is new to me and reportedly taken in Dallas.

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.

To me, this sounds like Mick, not Keith, noodling around in Open G. What do you guys think? video:

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

Don't think so, this is a picture of SRV in 1975.

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

Listening to a remastered version of the Dirty Work album and I notice the similarities between the song Dirty Work and Flip the Switch. To me, the tempo, melody and vocal delivery are strikingly similar. And the drums are way up on the mix on both. Of course ends very differently..but up to that point anyway. Maybe it's the remaster, but I think Dirty Work is a great little tune in itse

My #1 goosebump moment Winter at 3:19 when Mick Taylor solo kicks off Followed closely by: Feedback on Keith's solo on Sympathy for the Devil from Ya-Ya's at 3:22 Some probably shared with others here: You Can't Always Get What you Want at 4:27 as chorus starts to kick in Sway at 2:00 mark "Hey Heeey! Noooow" Moonlight Mile at 2:14 mark "Oh I am sleeping

Good point about Keith's Toronto situation. Hadn't though of that. Funny how they would be brave enough to sing such lines until things hit close to home. Still wish I could confirm if the edit dates back to 1978.

Was this censored in the original video release in 1978? Obscured line begins around 0:27.
