Thanks for posting. Love this passage. Chuck is a sweet & talented guy. "Back in 1981 I did an audition with The Stones. Ian Stewart was my contact and the person who picked me up at the airport. We hit it off right away. They had heard about me and contacted me to come up to Longview Farm in Massachusetts to try out. It went well, but I didn’t get the gig right away. They took Ian

Life Magazine July 14, 1972 Mick Jagger Cover (article starts on page 30) Great article. Amazing photos of Mick. And this quote: "The Rolling Stones! Are they still among us? How can they be? In history's first disposable society, where everything from graceful landmarks to diapers to rock groups is used and thrown away, how can the Stones survive?"

Quotecrawdaddy One of my fave videos from the Tour. Mainly cos of the emotions that must have been felt by so many at that gig, as were shown by the girls on the rail towards the end. What a beautiful moment. What an amazing band. They are still moving people to tears after all these years.

QuoteWild Slivovitz Great episode yesterday. Yes -- Great Episode. Dark, complex, moving. I'm loving this series. Terrific cast, great storyline & characters. You just have to give it time as they develop the characters and the story. Bobby Cannavale & Olivia Wilde are as good as I expected them to be.

Very sad. Athough they were a very big band and sold millions of albums, I never thought they got enough respect for the great music they created. They had a whole lot more talent and range than they get credit for. It's such a shame that Scott's demons often got more attention than his great talent and may have cut short his life. Here's a beautiful STP song about a perform

QuoteTurner68 One of the best interviews with Keith about guitar playing that I have heard/seen/read Absolutely. This is a magnificent -- one for the ages. Matt Sweeney breaks through the barriers & gets to the pure, unscripted, unrehearsed Keith. Bravo to Matt & the team that put this beautiful interview together.

Another fantastic show by the Rolling Stones. Not much to add to what's already been said by other reviewers. Great crowd, beautiful summer night, great music. Explosive start with Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Loved Mick’s harp playing and interaction with Keith on Out of Control. Midnight Rambler continues to be a showstopper.

Jimmy Miller played drums on YCAGWYW. I think Charlie has said that he was having a hard time getting the right feel of the song, and when Jimmy Miller sat down to show him, Charlie told him to just play it himself. As many here have noted, Jimmy Miller, in addition to being a great producer, was a talented drummer.

This clip always gets to me. I always thought Keith dropped his guard here and spoke about Brian's death from his heart. With all the turmoil, conflict and confusing surrounding Brian's exit from the Rolling Stones and his death, it easy to forget these were young men who lost a former band mate and friend who shared the journey from a dingy flat in Edith Grove to fame, fortune, and

QuoteNaturalust I don't think they do. They have standard speaker monitors all over the stage and you do see both Keith and Ronnie returning to their "sweet spots" often, probably because they are more comfortable with the sound there. Seems strange since the technology is so good these days but some musicians can't stand them because the do cause a bit of a disconnect fro
