QuoteNikolai Huh? You're saying that he recorded the album (ie, Jan 3-4, 1982 - the versions that were released), then re-recorded the songs with the band and THEN re-recorded them acoustically, before ditching the last acoustic session as well? Yup. I've read it more than once - the Dave Marsh book, and the 33 1/3 book on BITUSA. Don't forget how productive he was in that

This is a follow-up to my previous post entitled "Ya Yas Project Revisited" from a week or so ago. Myself and several fellow Stones fans from another board have crafted a very generic petition that went up yesterday and should appeal to the masses. Please keep in mind that we may not get complete consensus about what should and should not get released from all Stones fans which is why

Lynd8-as long as your talking about polls, my next post was going to be along the lines of a general survey of sorts...Since there is so much material (and we might not get agreement from everyone on this about their preferences), do people on this board prefer to acquire material from the early years 63-70 (i.e. ABKCO/Decca/London) or from the time frame of when the Stones got their own label 19

MSG 1969 (as featured in Gimme Shelter) is probably the best! For my money, the last time the Stones performed Jack Flash with any conviction and passion was probably on the 89 tour (the version from the broadcast of Atlantic City 89 ain't too shabby either)..

Although I saw Elvis in his declining years (approximately 6 months before he died?) in my hometown of Rochester, NY, the guy still demonstrated moments of greatness. Wen he didn't forget the words to some tunes, his voice was strong and powerful.

I've read several of these posts regarding the topic of "why tour?" Several of the responses are very articulate and insightful. Unless the Stones return with a different type of show than what they have been peddling for the last 10-15 years, I won't be going. I am one of the few people who are advocating that they not return to the stage.. I don't want to see my favorit

I for one think the 78 versions of Honky Tonk Women are more spirited and energetic than the 75-76 versions. However, the other night I was watching Gimme Shelter which I had not seen in a quite a while and I got such a shit eating grin on my face watching the segment of Mick Jagger performing Honky Tonk Women at Madison Square Garden in 1969 that it made me realize that this segment was indeed a

Let's see..... with exception of the Bigger Bang tour, I caught the Stones at least once on every tour since 1972, bought all their records (and later CDs), spent a fortune on tickets, hotel rooms, travel, Stones related books, magazines, and of course-dropped serious money on rarities and bootlegs!!! I've probably helped the Stones to live a lifestyle that you and I can only dream of!!

Oh boy!! Another new Las Vegas style tour that will feature 2 songs from their latest album (why even record a new album?) and padded with the same warhorses that are sounding worse with every tour!

I have to agree with several other posts regarding Honky Tonk Women...That particular song USED to be one of my favorites to hear in concert and on every tour since Steel Wheels it has just gotten painfully awful to listen to...The piano solo and extending of that song just turns into a dreadful Las Vegas shlock number (LOL)....

Although I have always been a fan of the Ya Yas version of Rambler, I would have to say that Brussels is in a league all its own. That particular version is downright scary, and epic at that!
