The guy obviously has a knack of squeezing extra juice out of old Lemons but at what price. When you do a deal with that kind of thing it's hypnotic but takes the natural energy creatively speaking. Instinctively i felt repelled by the album/albums, especially Ozzy.

Quote1962 I can only listen to four tracks: the two singles (both very good), Keith's track (quite good), and the blues (which is not bad). All the other crap is Mick's solo record-like garbage. I don't understand why it was necessary to release an album. Of course I know, because Mick wanted it and old Keith agreed for the sake of peace. (And I haven't even ment

Just tried the album again, slightly off topic there was this guy called Mike ( Longbeachareana72 ) and from 2012 onwards he used to comment on the Stones live sound as un listenable.

Wow, lovely to see Keith in this mood, a shy man finding his confidence in old age, and with that Guitar play on accustic we see the essence of the real hits, the reason millions go to see these shows, the songs that leave an impression and its all down to those beat up fingers not knowing how he does it but just doing it.
