Another throwaway cut from a retro-album. Practically every song is a weaker version of an earlier one. Hate the way the drums sound.

My guess is that Wyman will show up at one of the rehearsals and he'll gage how things are between him and Keith and they'll jam a little bit. I think Wyman would would obviously want to be compensated for any participation, either studio or stage, but I don't think he would try to hold them up. He would not want to be taken advantage of, but I think he'd maybe like to show hi

The Rolling Stone's version of 'Like A Rolling Stone' absolutely blew chunks. It's not even listenable. Bob's version of Brown Sugar, which I saw live at the Wiltern in 2002, was rollicking, fun, and rocking. Maybe Bob has faded recently, but you better not count him out. His last three albums are better than anything the post-Wyman Stones have released.

QuoteKSIE I saw two shows in '78: Philly stadium, and Cleveland stadium. Both were kinda ragged and not-so-good. Yeah, I was in Cleveland, and it was a mess. I even remember hearing a boot of them playing (at the Fox theatre?) or somewhere from the tour and I wasn't impressed. Maybe being inside with a smaller audience in Texas helped. Hampton '81 is pretty damn good, as was the

I'll tell you one thing, they did a masterful left field move with releasing the Brussels download. N O B O D Y saw that coming. It's not just fifty years of making music, it's fifty years of dealing with the jag offs in the press.

Not a one of you was positive. Even bringing up old late night comic jokes from 1989 like 'Steel Wheelchairs'. I hope they kick ass on stage and you can't get a ticket.

If you have the DVD boots with the NME appearances, mingled with the Ed Sullivan ones, you can watch him go from confident, exuberant entertainer, fade into the background, and re-emerge confident again as a 'colourist. It looks like he was fine on stage at the '68 NME from photos, although we have no idea what he contributed musically. And then the almost agonizingly sad crackup on the

I'm sure this all has to do with money. The Super Deluxe Box Set is probably an afterthought. The big bucks (if there are any) are in the two-CD set, period. It's obvious that really hard core collectors have a way of getting the really offbeat stuff already, so why go that route? I don't have the Jumping Jack Flash promo vids from that singles boxset because it was a rip off. I�

John certainly belittle the Stone enough, basically declaring that they were not in the Beatles league, musically. He liked their funkiness but not all that 'fag dancing'. Something tells me protests too much.

Jimi was just starting to jam on other people's albums when he passed away. He'd contributed to a Steven Stills album and was reputed to be hanging out with Miles Davis, though no tapes have surfaced. I thought Jimi was only friends with Brian, and might have shied away from the rest of the group, but he seems quite comfortable here. He might have gotten around to jamming with the rest

With the sudden glut of Stones product, no one seems to be discussing this one much. Anytime in the past we would have been dissecting and discussing each performance. Where else are you going to see/hear a pristine live performance of 'The Last Time', an astonishing 'Little Red Rooster', 'Satisfaction', 'As Tears Go By', and '19th Nervous Breakdown�

Maybe a way to deal with the sour economy is to scale back the production. I don't a giant bridge or fire breathing robots. Some of my favorite Stones concerts were very stripped down affairs. It should be about the music at this point.

Well, then I guess I'll listen to my Brussels boot, Ed Sullivan DVD, Live in Texas DVD soon, and the Some Girls reissue. This all seems very decadent to have all this at once. And the screwups with the new Brussels download in the U.S. are kind of unnoticed. We went from famine to feast, with more feast on the way.

Okay, 12 pages in to this, I'm confused. I live in the U.S. If I download the concert, it will be of inferior quality? And, I will not be able to make a personal CD from it?

QuoteCome On only me that haven't heard a descent version of Satisfaction live is my conclusion right now.... I dig the Leeds version, even though it's an atypical arrangement. The problem with Satisfaction is that it's almost exclusively played at the end, when they're winding up and trying to wham out every warhorse before the fireworks start and they dash for the limos.

Listening to the 1st show right now. Bill certainly doesn't sound like a 75-year-old geezer. He's really mixing it up, with well known tunes and not so famous. He played Slim Harpo's 'King Bee' and talked about playing the zooming bass part with his fretless bass on the Stones' version.

The first DVD is killer, with everything (except maybe some backing vocals) live. Very daring, selling themselves with some pretty adult music, instead of going the Freddie & the Dreamers route.

Bill has toured somewhat continuously with his group. But Mick Taylor has been sporadic at best. Does anyone think he's really up for major involvement with the Stones? The pressure would be immense for him to replicate the player he was 40 years ago.

It seems that Keith could be laying the PR groundwork to get Bill to do something new with the band. He's been saying, for Keith, an awful lot of nice things about Bill's playing, lately. And maybe he is nostalgic, looking back at where the band began, and remembering Bill. At any rate, Bill might decide to have nothing to do with the current Stones.
