Per the advertisements and posts that I have been reading, I am happy beyond belief that ABKCO is going to release an expanded version of Ya Yas. Unfortunately, even though I would have liked a COMPLETE show, I am happy for what we are getting- great sounding, unreleased bonus tracks (that I will most likely compile into a complete 1969 show of my own to listen to with the original running order

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! I still can't believe after all these years of listening to Brussels that the Stones could sound that good! Sadly, even though they would have their moments of brilliance on subsequent tours, after this

I get a chuckle when I read some of these posts because it just goes to show you that music, just like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder...For instance, Doxa's quote that the Stones are sloppy and uninspired at the Rock and Roll circus but yet are "better and tighter" at Hyde Park...Sorry, I can't agree with that. Although there are a fair share of folks who think the Ston

Quotebassplayer617 Does anyone here seriously think that Mick gives a rats-as% about the legacy of recordings that have been bootlegged and released over and over again? He is a businessman, and not as filled with self-importance as some fans would like to believe. For example, look at the famous Charlie Rose interview from 2002. What did Mick prefer to discuss? His film career! This is a man

Although this was recorded early on in the tour and sounds a little ragged at times, this soundboard two CD set of Welcome to the Voodoo Lounge on Godfather (which contains the COMPLETE audio version of the professionally shot video souvenir sold at Stones shows) is pretty darn good.

Unless they truly do a 180 and surprise me, most likely the Stones will play the money-making same big arenas and/or stadiums with the additional back-ups, along with the obligatory warhorses... If that is the case, my ONLY request (along with opening up the vaults before I'm too old to appreciate it and/or dead) is play every show like it's your LAST show (your competitor Springsteen d

QuotePalace Revolution 2000 This song just has never worked live, period. It's a pity, because it is easily one of my allround favorite Stonescuts. Jagger can't settle on a melody approach. Since it is so low in the register he keeps jumping up into some note that fits in theory, but doesn't really sound greta. In the studio they just have him up in the mix with the low voice , whi

As a Rochesterian (which is approximately 60 miles from Buffalo) I have fond memories of seeing many great rock and roll shows at this auditorium. Often times, great artists like the Stones bi-passed the Rochester War Memorial which was too small a venue to accomodate them or other artists and these artists would opt to play the Buffalo Aud or nearby Toronto instead. The Stones played Buffalo twi

Aside from the heated debate on the Stones' touring prowess- on another matter- this writer was most impressed with UrbanSteel's post of the Baltimore & Boston shows from 69.

I purchased the Giants Stadium VHS show from the merchandising section at the Syracuse Voodoo Lounge show that I attended in 12/94. Although the Stones were a little ragged around the edges at Giants Stadium as it was recorded 6 or 7 dates into the Voodoo Lounge tour, I actually prefer the performance of this pro-shot video rather than the pay-per-view Miami show recorded in 11/94.

I thought the medley of "Under My Thumb" into "I'm Free" at MSG '69 was awesome. They should have played it this way through the entire '69 tour. The slower version of "I'm Free" in the beginning of the tour (as featured on the bootleg Liver Than You'll Ever Be) doesn't do it for me...

Thanks to all for the recommendations! One of my favorite Neil CDs is the MTV Unplugged show from the early 1990's. I really like the tunes that were played. I know at one time it was released on VHS. I am assuming that this has never been officially released on DVD. Does anyone know if there is a good audio/video (DVD) boot of this show?

Dick's Picks #34 is definitely a highlight. The Dead were playing pretty well for lots of shows in 1977. The Rochester, New York show of 11/5/77 is a standout.

Even though I am biased, however, many fans and collectors consider that show to be a keeper worth acquiring. In my opin

I'll just add my two cents here- I have been collecting Sister Morphine products over the last ten years and think that this is a great Stones dedicated label.

They are sensitive to customer needs and I have ALWAYS received titles
