QuoteBrianJones1969 Can anyone think of any Rolling Stones songs that were intended to be recorded in the key of, say, G, and then some problem with the tape machine causes the final speed of the recording to either speed up or slow down? Of course, for many years some of the songs didn't really sound right aside from the LP versions because of such speed discrepancies. Aside from the

QuoteMathijs QuotePalace Revolution 2000 I love the Australian shows. I have often thought about this: the pics from the tour all seem to be small-ish venues, small-ish crowds, daylight gigs; Smallish venues? They played the regular venues for any rock band of the day, with an average of 20.000 in attendance, just as average on the '72 tour. Mathijs +1 at the time, the US and Canada

Quotecrumbling_mice That's exactly my point sleepy, I can only recall his slide playing and even that I don't rate so highly. He was ahead of the game for a white guy but others soon caught him up and surpassed him in that area. Crumbling Mice, you're certainly entitled to your opinion (as we all are---and the MT years are my favorite as well). But remember this, Mick Taylor

QuoteSleepy City Quotestevecardi You want bad Stones live, grab the Got Live LP (although the EP of the same name was great).

Abbatoirs easily over Knebworth. These shows are probably the high-point of the tour in terms of performance and consistency. Keith playing on June 6--the night his baby died--is really intense: you can almost feel his pain coming out of his playing. The version of "Midnight Rambler" from this show is especially powerful: more than enough to satisfy those who think this song hasn't
