I have some sympathy with your point of view. If your only experience of the band live is on this tour then you missed them at their best by 20 years or so. They were without Bill so the rest of the band would have been a little unsure of things however much they had rehearsed. You've had some bitching here that you have only seen them live once. Unfortunately you can't go back in ti

It is right that we, who have so much, remember those who gave everything. I have no great family connection with the fighting in WW2 as my father and uncles were working in reserved occupations, namely on the railways. However, other members will have grandparents who fought, some will have returned but many will have perished. Anyone here have stories to share?

Very good article Kingbeebuzz. It would be very interesting to interview some of these guys - Paul Jones, Dick Taylor, Mick Avory etc - at some length about those formative days before those memories fade and are lost, they are in their seventies after all and look how old Bill Wyman is!

Interesting article and true in many respects. He's right about the quality of early boots, most were terrible audience recordings, I sent a Hendrix boot back to the store one time it was so bad. But, we were grateful to have them. I am amused by the modern collectors who grumble about MP3 quality and have the tech to do their own remixes , we had to put up with seventh generation taped copi

The band still tours now and then with many of the original members but not MM himself. I saw them a couple of years ago with both Paul Jones and Mike D'Abo on vocals and they were excellent. Had forgotten that D'Abo wrote Handbags and Gladrags, which is a classic song, and it was interesting to hear his story about how he wrote it and to hear his own version. Many members also tour

Ian's music means a lot to me even after all these years. His lyrics, many based on his own experiences of a sometimes difficult life, were unique . I still play his music a lot. At one time he was flavour of the month in UK and his voice suffered from too much live work and recording. I remember a live broadcast where he struggled to sing and was fed up with sections of the audience who
