I spent 2-2 1/2 hours trying to call and/or get through to tickets.com for Bruce's show in Buffalo in 4/12, and by the time I got though, only 300 level seats were left! I guess I am going to have try to go the day of the show and see if I get lucky with a ticket drop.

I myself would be very surprised to see anything officially released from the 75/76 tour for many of the reasons sited previously. Would Mick Jagger ok archived releases of performances from this time period which might detract from their legacy? Hard to tell. It is difficult for me to get past Jagger's singing style during the mid 1970's and several of the audio boots that I have heard

I would certainly place Midnight Rambler as being in the top five of songs that I still enjoy hearing at a Stones concert (although many of the versions I have heard during the 2000's with maybe the exception of the HBO special featured on the Licks DVD to my ears have been lukewarm at best), however, not necessarily for the content, but in the way it rocks with that fast tempo and instrumen

Nice videos. For all the historians out there, was this the first time Jagger is seen playing guitar on a video. Unless I'm mistaken, Jagger didn't actually strap on a guitar on the live concert stage until he played on Fingerprint File during the 75 tour, correct?

Regarding the which is better, I think this is another one of those "apples vs. oranges" argument. I think the guitar stylings of Mick Taylor suited the period from 69-74 aptly while Ronnie Wood's guitar skills were appropriate for the 75-82 period. However, I think on extended solos, Wood just doesn't cut it. I have listened to several booted shows from the 75-76 tour (which

On my wishlist besides the fan favories such as the El Mocambo shows: I would be very happy if they released the 5/95 Paradiso Club gigs (as an audio/DVD set) as the venue and setlist was a departure for the time period. The other gem of a show that has been circulating as a bootleg for years (but I don't know if this was ever professionally recorded?), was the one-off Nicaraguan Eathquake

I have really been listening to this disc a lot and overall, I think it is great. The one blemish I can't seem to get past is what they did with the aforementioned Lucky in Love, which by some measures may not be the greatest bootlegged tune circulating, but I think they could have taken a risk (and with some cosmetic surgery), released this with the original lyrics intact rather than create

Coming home from work and reading this post has been really gratifying as a Stones fan. The release of archived material, whether it is on CD format or not, is something that this fan has dreamed about for quite a long time.

Alright, suppose the Stones do actually tour next tour. As a long time fan, I love the Stones just as much as anybody, but I've had to stop and ask myself this question: Is it really worth paying exorbitant prices to see 70 year old guys play stale warhorses and whose musicianship has significantly deteriorated?

When thinking about the Beatles, it astonishes me what they accomplished during the 7 or 8 years they were together (excluding the late 50's through the Cavern days).
