Got through watching the Wiltern show on Bluray. Jagger appears to be having a good night on stage. I think the CDs could have been mixed a little better and cleaner as far as sound fidelity. What makes this release, like the El Mocambo, a nice collectable worthy of picking up, is the song selection (Everybody Needs somebody to Love, That's How Strong My Love Is, No Expectations) given the s

I've been playing guitar since I was 15 or 16. I have accumulated a ton of great guitar books which are much better today than when I first started out. I don't read music very well but many of the books utilize tabulator for finger placement and also have CDs and/or you can download the music that comes with the book on-line. With regards to a first guitar, don't allow yourself

Happy belated b day to an exceptional guitar player -Mick Taylor. I, like a lot of Stones fans relish the time he was with them (and not long enough as far as I am concerned). I also have fond memories of meeting Mick Taylor in my hometown in upstate New York. He was so gracious and kind in our interaction together. Thank you Mick for your great contribution to the Stones musical evolution!

Quoteliddas Never understood why people consider the 89/90 tour to be a sort of recreation of the studio versions. Only because Devil returns to be a piano driven song? Very simply it was Jagger's 88 solo show template adapted to the stones. And Jagger's solo show was heavily influenced by what the big acts of the time where doing (Jackson, Madonna, Police, Prince, Bowie etc.), by
