Quoteletitloose Yep, I have said it before here....Liam Gallagher was the one guy I caught live right in the eye of the hurricane - Loch Lomond to be precise. He was mesmerising. A total force of nature. Stock still at the mic. almost daring folks to throw stuff at him. Fearless, in a way I guess Iggy and Rotten were before him. Or maybe he's just too dumb to duck!

Quotemickschix I know that you'll think that this idea is ridiculous BUT how about a GIVE BACK TO THE FANS TOUR!?? Reasonable ticket prices, rotating set lists, longer shows with an intermission, ( with their catalog, playing 21 songs is NOT acceptable when McCartney goes out there for OVER 3 hours, playing 36 songs or more!). You know that I love this band and defend them to some ridiculou

The legacy is based largely on their first 10 years together. Their accomplishments in that time period speak for themselves. That is, Keith's decline in recent years in no way diminishes the glory of Satisfaction and Jumpin' Jack Flash (to name but two). As for hanging around too long, they've been accused of that for at least 35 years. I suspect, however, that they are no d

Jagger, Presley, Mercury, Iggy, Springsteen, bah! Liam Gallagher kicks all their arses! The way Liam stands stock still, with his hands behind his back, staring at his shoes, in front of stadiums full of people, the kid's charisma personified. Moreover, he's always good for a quip, and he managed to con Patsy Kensit into marrying him when she was still cute.

The Beatles records sound like crap in stereo through Revolver, with instruments in one channel and drums and vocals in the other. On the early records, mono is the way to go. Many of the early records were recorded using only three or four tracks. Leave the Stones recordings in their original state, be it stereo or mono.

Great band, but they lacked stature in the States. ;-) All we'd hear is Itchykoo Park and Lazy Sunday. I only discovered the full extent of their brilliance much later.

After the intense period of band activity from 1962-83 (particularly 1962-67), they've earned the right to work when they want, where they want. While their output has clearly suffered, that's just the way it is, and they don't owe any apologies therefor.

I was listening to the Hull non-Tommy disc last night. The little differences, particularly in Young Man Blues, Shakin' All Over and My Generation, are remarkable. The bass tracks that are brought in from the Leeds show on six songs are a muddy rumble that lacks the clarity of Entwistle's bass parts that were actually played on that night.

I've been attend concerts regularly for 37 years, but I don't like headphones and I don't like ear plugs either. So I avoid headphones and try to limit ear plugs to events where I really need 'em (e.g., Motorhead). However, my hearing always tests at the low end of normal. On the other hand, my wife might as well be a ventriloquist. Because she moves neither her lips nor
