QuoteSilver Dagger I wonder what made Dave Clark finally sell them? Perhaps he needs the money. If he needed the money, he'd reissue the catalog for the Dave Clark Five, which has been out of print for some time. They should release entire shows in DVD box set series -- what a fantastic time capsule, and a chance to see more of the lovely Cathy McGowan.

I don't get why Keith would be still standing on the cake -- is it because this Brownjohn fellow was Keith's friend? By the way, that looks more like a cartoon representation of Brian Wilson than it does of Keith. And the model of Mick, it looks more like a MAD Magazine version of Peter Noone. I never really thought much of the front and back cover artwork for this album; the only

Should've shown up to play a track or two as a featured performer. Would've been one of the evening's highlights, to prove their staying power. Could've picked up more album sales and a few new fans. Might've resulted in an increased media presence ahead of their next tour, not to mention the new album.

The Stones didn't break up because of her; so, no. They also didn't have her in the studio wailing lunatic mantras into a microphone... As far as Mick and Keith spending less time together, that's just a natural progression. They have many differences in personality and taste, and as they mature it gets reflected in their social lives, etc. By the way, Yoko began by stalking

I saw the Zombies last year in a small theater venue, and there were signs posted prohibiting video and/or audio recording of any kind, and that if you were caught recording you'd be ejected. So, what's the problem? Since when has bootlegging been legal? The smartphone craze has just made it too difficult for these laws to be enforced. For those who think it's "cool&q

Time Is On My Side live in 1981 is a world of difference to the version(s) recorded in 1964, or even played live that year... then again, it wasn't exactly the same band, was it?

QuoteBowieStone Elton John, Neil Diamond, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Slayer all made retiring announcements within the same week. There’s a shift in the business. More the gradual winding down of an era that lasted far longer than anyone could have imagined 40 or even 25 years ago. A workaholic only stops working when forced to by ill health.

I've enjoyed talking about this new studio album they've been working on, but it gets a bit old after a year and a half. I think it's time they started working on a follow-up to another studio album. That way, we'd have something to keep us talking about until 2020.
