QuoteGasLightStreet The sound of HACKNEY DIAMONDS is a real album. Forget whatever is done to the vocals and the horrific mastering - the sound of the album, the mix, the way things sound, it is. BRIDGES has a majority of moments. Flip The Switch, Lowdown, Saint, all of Keith's songs - would fit HD sound wise. HD is the first album to have a true sound since TATTOO YOU. DIRTY WORK is

QuoteRacca1962 Hi All, I am curious about your opinion regarding the appointment subject. There have been several threads before about the best tour of the Stones. But I want to address this now from a different perspective. In this regard, I am not only looking at the setlist but especially at the way certain songs are unnecessarily prolonged. Such as; Miss you, Brown sugar, Jumping Jack fl

Moreover, according to Nick Kent, he was so angry he didn’t receive writer credit for the 3 IORR songs he may have quit the band.So when he said he had a hand in writing those songs he is believable.In those days I don’t think Mick was keen on being generous wi

Old Love. Italy 27th May I'm gonna stick my neck out here and say at 80 that's one of Claptons best ever solos on Old Love. Sunshine Of Your Love. Haven’t seen Clapton react to the audience with pleasure like this in years, and the fans are very vocal about witnessing something special these past few shows. Renewed energy from Eric.

QuoteBig Al I think those who really like Hackney Diamonds, really like Hackney Diamonds. I am taken aback by some of the fawning; and yet, well, it's nice that some elevate it so. If it's rocking your world, then that's super! For me? Hackney Diamonds is OK. It's not a Dirty Work. I really don't know; there's just something that's preventing me from embracing
