"LICKS was the best series of shows I saw since Voodoo. That's true for the first leg of the tour (USA). Believe me, some European shows were a distaster.

Yesterday night, I watched "Live at the Max" in DVD. It's really incredible to see how much the quality of their performance has decreased. Songs like Tumbling Dice and Brown Sugar and IORR were just swinging at that time. The playing of Keith was incredible. For me, he was at his best during the SW/UJ tour. Now, I have the feeling that these songs are sloppy. It is importa

Playing can't you hear me knocking on a Telecaster is stupid. This song would sound much better live by being played on a Gibson.

Btw, who likes Moon is Up ? I would like to know how they got the idea to play that song live in 99 I am suprised that so many people do not enjoy sparks will fly. The bridge in that song (after "sharks will cry...") is maybe one of the best Keith moment of the last decade. This chord progression has something very special, especially when you know it is played in Open G. It i

About So young, has it been re-worked by the stones during the VL sessions ?
Forum: Tell Me

For me, VL is a pretty good album but not a masterpiece. When I listen VL outtakes (voodoo stew), I feel that this album could have been a real classic, even better than Some Girls. By removing the fillers, here is my track list (of course with the raw mix): 1 Love is strong 2 Sparks will fly 3 You got it made 4 Brand new car 5 So youg 6 Baby break it down 7 You got me rocking 8 I g

Hi, One question about one of the most incredible stones bootlegs:Get Your Leeds Lungs Out!. Is there any version available with the first two songs of the show (ie. JJF and live with me) ? If not, is there a way to obtain them ? Thanks, nm

TD is always welcome when the Stones play it well. The problem is that they rarely play it really well. The song relies much on Jagger's mood. When jagger swings, the song is good. Another problem is that Ronnie is not able to play the solo correctly. The version played at "Stade de France" in 2003 was a complete disaster. But the version played at the olympia two days lat

Paradiso 95 is the best live version ever.

Thank you Mathijs. Now, I understand why I haven't been able to reproduce the studio version of Gimme Shelter properly.I also understand why the song has a different feeling when played live (in standard tuning). For the new tour, it should be played in open E again. That would be great. The same goes for JJF which should not be played in open G anymore. When played in open G, th

Mathijs, Are you sure that Gimme Shelter was played in open D ? I always thought it was played in standard tuning. Where did you get this information ? Thanks, Nicolas
