Wow, well, that is super cool - thank you for sharing! At first it looked like the woman with the band here is eying Brian, not Mick (as the author suggests)... ...but this shot does show her apparently somewhat in thrall of Mick, who seems to be holding court: As to this photo---the next second or 2, the guy with the security guy's leg embedded in his groin would be probably doubl

His editing is pretty damn confusing and hard to follow. @#$%& Blues is just a mishmash. I know he did that on purpose but that movie could have been so much better.

This is super cool. I don't know much about these shows and would like to. Is it written about, in detail, anywhere? Or if people here want to -- can you say more about the context/backstory? how the shows were received? anyone of note who attended? (other than Captain C here), what the Stones thought of theses show? in retrospect, what do we fans tend to think about these shows, performance

Great sleuthing, Voodookitten76 and 2000 LYFH! I reached out to the Living Theatre on Facebook--attached the photo of Mystery Man. Also did some digging around about the Living theatre and it appears that there were a great many people who drifted in and out of that circle, so...it may still be a bit of a crap shoot, but still the new photo is a wonderful lead! -swiss

Cool! I'd never heard that song. I'm not a trained music person (tho I play the violin) but I think that's some key or alternate scale. Another song that uses a similar type of scale or minor key, and includes similar descending sequences, is the Kinks' Sunny Afternoon. -swiss

I'll go very specific: The song "Fever." Any version of it, any era, any vocalist. If "Fever" were a person on a bicycle I'd stick a broomhandle in its spokes as it zoomed by - I don't get how others love it, snap their fingers, grin, and sway to it. Thankfully, not a daily occurrence. - swiss

Quotewonderboy I have conflicting opinions about this episode. On the one hand, the Stones (and Brian and Keith, in particular) were set up and harassed by the police.
