No offense to the poster or to Phish fans, but I personally think this version is quite boring...like most of their Stones covers. I heard them do this live once and it was note-perfect but lacked passion. I know what it is about Phish, but they suffer from extreme "whiteness." I don't care much for any of the classic band covers they do.

If Beck is waiting for Rod to send him that $17,000 cheque for recording costs he's gonna be in for a long wait. When it comes to money Rod Stewart is tighter than a fish's arse....except in the case of court-ordered alimony and child support.

Quoterocker1 Quotesirdoug one of my favorite live shows was during the voodoo lounge tour at the spectrum. crystal clear guitars and overall sound there on a beautiful night. just brilliant. You mean Veteran's Stadium, right? The Stones played shows at The Spectrum during the '69, '72 and '75 tours only.

The Spectrum was a great old place. Much smaller than most modern arenas, and it felt more intimate. I saw Springsteen there in October '09 and it was a nostalgic feeling thinking about all the great bands and events that had been there over the years. And sad knowing that would be the last show I would ever see there.

Chuch was a great guy. Very friendly and he always seemed to be in a good mood. That's why the band liked him so much. He was also very good to the fans. Always generous at giving away guitar picks, setlists, drumsticks, etc. He is sorely missed.

I contacted the seller on eBay and asked him how his ex-girlfriend came to be in posession of the jumpsuit, and he told me she was living in London in the 80's, and was "partying alot" with Ossie Clark and his friends and Ossie gave the jumpsuit to her as a "gift."

I know at least some guitars are (or were) stored between tours at the S.I.R. warehouse in NYC where a lot of bands store their touring equipment - under 24-hour security, I might add.

Parrot Cay is in the Turks and Caicos islands which are flat, so the house "on the mountain" you're thinking about must be the one in Jamaica.

I don't know if the home for sale belongs to Keith or not but it's a beautiful

L'wren Scott is supposedly 6'4" (193 cm) - a full 6 inches (15 cm) taller than Mick - so I can understand why he would want to get lifts built into his shoes. Perhaps those black Nike sneakers he often wears have been altered with some custom inserts.

I saw Keith (and Ronnie) mid-December a the Paul McCartney show in the Apollo Theatre, NYC. He looks tan and pretty healthy as did his wife, Patti. But I do sometimes wonder if Keith is wearing fake bronzer or some kind of makeup when he appears in public. He skin seems to have a sort of unnatural color these days. And his newly white teeth seem to heighten the contrast with his skin tone.

I know the house is on a mountaintop but you might see more of it from below than from the road. I'm sure it's very private and well-secured behind high walls and a gate. Keith built a new house on Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos islands and goes there more than Jamaica these days.
