Quotexke38 I bought RL a couple of years ago after having come accross some YT-footage of I and I (which now seems to have been removed). I was actually quite disappointed with the RL version, as MT's playing didn't reach the heights of the YT version. I can't remember which concert the YT I & I footage was from, it may have been Newcastle.

Forum: Tell Me

Some less highly rated albums work because they include a few strong tracks and some work because, despite the absence of really noteworthy individual tracks, they come across well as a unit. As far as I’m concerned, neither is the case with ER.

QuoteElmo Lewis Thanks, stonesrule, I knew you would have the facts. You and I have discussed Gene before. He was not the source for this story though. Just some poster on the LS board. Thanks as always! I really wish you'd share more with us about your days with Skynyrd, Elton, Jimi, etc. - Stoneswise and otherwise. According to Gene: "Ronnie had been drinking and that tongue

Quotetreaclefingers In fact, making it illegal seems to exacerbate the problem, and create an entire criminal culture to go with it. + 1 The Mafia would not have developed the way it did had it not been for prohibition in the USA in the early 20th century.

Quoteslew Yes, without them spreading the word it would have taken some of the old bluesers a lot longer to be recognized by the musical mainstream.
