QuoteThommie ...of the L.A.Friday version of Gimme Shelter. Is there any better version of that song? Is there any better version of any song? Brussels + London 1st (1972) + L&G Fort W. (1972) + ALtamont in a loop. Thats the best. Anyway - I really really liked both HP versions very much.

Like BV has mentioned already, and the US shows as proof, 16 to 18 shows in 2 months are the maximum for the Stones at the moment. Nothing wrong with that, because nearly all shows in USA and UKwere great and very succes

I really like Bill Wiemanan's attitude, which somewhat reminds me of George Harrisons...

I do not think any reasonable person who knows a bit of British music history would continue relating to the "Lennon & McCartney" label as more than what it is... commercial label. For the vast majority of the Beatles repertoire it is known exactly who was the sole writer of any given song. With very few exceptions Paul McCartney would play in his concerts only "Lennon & Mc

QuoteStoneage OK. Let's assume Goo is right. Then taylor would have earned approximately $4000 x 2 songs x 20 gigs which adds up to $160 000 for the whole tour. Not so bad?

Wyman and Taylor seem to hold different views. Wyman has a strong personality - cynical, down to earth type of person.
