Quotekowalski Quotestonesdan60 A Bigger Bang. Yeah - it gets trashed here a lot but I still maintain that if it were released in the seventies it would be almost as revered as Exile. If the music on it wasn't compressed and brickwalled as hell it would be much revered. I do respect your point on that..but to my ears it sounds pretty damn good anyway.

QuoteSilver Dagger Quotelenchik No "Satisfaction"? Yep - their greatest tune. If this is their set then they've obviously been on this site and taking heed of the 'no more warhorses' arguments. No Brown Sugar, no Jumping Jack Flash, no Street Fighting Man, no Gimme Shelter and no Sympathy For The Devil, which, as much as I love it, has been done to death. Either that

Stones Now "...as this trendy-type video is just another example of Mick as Peter Pan, always trying to pander to a younger audience..." I don't get that impression at all. This is just Mick being Mick. He's always performed like he does in this video. He may be pushing 70 but if he's still got what it takes to do his thing, more power to him. Or because of his age sh

If there's one Stone I'm not worried about having lost anything, it's Mick Jagger. He sure rocked out on SNL, and from the brief clips I've seen of the recent Stones club shows, he looks as energetic as ever. He lost something on the ABB Tour? I'm sorry you didn't get to see the two shows I did. He rocked like a maniac.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quoteopj Over the past year "The Rolling Stones", have given their fans 6 great live albums, from 6 different tours. I think all those negative "fans" should find another artist to listen to, what about Lady Gaga or Pink, I think that must be something for you. I love "The Stones", and that's that. Best post of the month! Ditto!

Now that I've listened to it a few times, I think it's really enjoyable until they get to the closing warhorses. I was surprised,as someone pointed out how tepid Keith's intros are on the last three songs and how lukewarm they play TD, BS, and JJF compared to how they played up to that point. If they wanted to represent the ABB Tour I'd like one of the stadium gigs from 2005.

It's fascinating for me to see this footage for the first time as I was at that show and right up front. Yes, it was sloppy but still a lot of fun and they rocked despite the flubs in their own perverse way. I don't think they were as terrible as a lot of people say, but certainly inferior to the awesome act they would evolve into as the tour progressed. Whatever the case, I remember b

With the advances in sound technology and the video screens, some shows in the nosebleeds can be quite enjoyable. While not front row, I saw the Stones at Giants Stadium in NJ in 2005 from seats in the lower tier very close to the stage and that was awesome. When they came back to NJ in 2006 I bought cheap seats at the farthest end of the stage in the highest tier. You couldn't get any fart

QuoteDandelionPowderman I've probably listened to it over 100 times by now (both versions) - and this will really be a crowd pleaser!

We may discuss quality and Mick's involvement, but that

Sometimes I wonder if it might be Taylor. In the official video you see keith with taylor on piano but they only show keith's face during the intro. Also, the studio intro is a little more intricate than the way Keith plays it live. Still, i'd like to believe it's keith.

I don't get to listen to the radio much anymore for various reasons. I'd appreciate if anyone can tell me if they've heard it played in the NYC area, and what kind of stations(s) were playing it. Wouldn't it be ironic if an "add on" to a greatest hits set recorded as the Stones push 70 turned out to be a huge hit? It just might become a hit as it seems a lot of non

I definitely hear Charlie. His style is there although I do think they looped him, cut and pasted, etc. for a certain sound. I'm pretty sure I hear Keith doing his open tuned on and off suspended chords but he's mixed very much at the same level as the other guitars so his playing sort of floats slightly beneath the surface of the overall mix. I hear Woody and Jagger on guitars for su
