Will this not be issued on vinyl?
Forum: Tell Me

Wow. I bought Voodoo Lounge, Stripped, and Bridges to Babylon on vinyl when they came out. Somewhat before vinyl became cool again, I guess. They all sound great and are all double LPs. I was hoping for a vinyl issue on the Stripped deluxe edition coming out, as I've got all the other Eagle Rock releases.

A friend of mine came across this (presumably) Russian EP. Does anyone have any information about this (date, whether it is a legit pressing or a bootleg, etc)? Paint it Black Ruby Tuesday As Tears Go By Lady Jane

Fingerprint File is fantastic. I never really cared for that song until now. The only complaints I could possibly have about the whole thing is the lack of audience presence and Mick's singing on most songs. But the whole thing is so insanely energetic it hardly matters. And I would also like to complain about Amazon pushing back the ship date on my Vinyl LA Friday show.

Just got it today, and I haven't had a chance to properly view it or listen yet (and I haven't seen much of it before), but first impression is that I'm pretty surprised at how coked up they are, even by Rolling Stones standards.

At least tickets will cost 20% less since they will most likely have to pick up a new drummer on the cheap. Grasping for a silver lining here.

I have to admit. Your post initially shocked me.

Agreed. All the piling-on was a shock, as I didn't see anything wrong with your comments. Edit: I agree with the original post. Not necessarily the post right before mine.

By "mixes", is it the same exact backing track with different instrumentation/overdubs, or is it related songs like Honky Tonk Women/Country Honk? If the former, that seems like it would be really hard to pull off. I would like the HTW/CH thing, although it's probably a stretch considering their studio work ethic these days. At this point I would be grateful for even one more new s

There was some talk about one of the Japan shows being filmed and/or broadcast. I had a hunch some of those rare tunes they did in rehearsals might be utilized. Not sure what happened there. Maybe Australia? Considering there is already an official live document from this "tour" (Hyde Park), maybe that is enough for them. Personally, I'd like to see some more of the bootleg series

Good interview. Couple of things: Mick seems to have picked up an odd habit of referring to himself in the second person. "You never know.", for instance. That's a common saying. But half of his recollections are that way. It's like he's distancing himself from himself. These interviews for this leg of the tour (Keith, and now Mick) are very well done (in the fluid/

Billy Preston got two solo songs in the middle of the set with the Stones backing him. He was an American black man. He was never made a member of the band. Therefore Darryl Jones should get two songs in the middle of the set with the Stones backing him.

Is there an audience tape out there? Jagger sounds pretty wound (coked) up (Going to a Go-Go-"We're gonna @#$%& all night"). He first introduces Mick Taylor before Let Me Go (40:00 on the post above). I've heard stuff about how Taylor wasn't mike'd for the soundboard, etc, yet was too loud. but I don't know anything about that, so what's up? Why isn't

Oh no. I keep seeing rumors about this and hoping they go away. Not to speak for others on IORR but I bet we might have as close to a consensus on this issue as we are going to get on anything. As for the broader fanbase, apparently Mick knows better than me. I think they need new marketing people.
