Mick would reply : "when we were extremely controversial in the 70s we would sell out arenas and large ballrooms. Now we’ve kinda disappeared from the ’media-drama’ radar but we sell out entire stadiums. I dont think we’re on the losing end of the game..."

Quotetreaclefingers Had they released a couple of singles off LIB, let's say HTW, and Gimme Shelter (b/w Country Honk) and left Country Honk off the album with HTW in it's place you may have THE album of 1969 and possibly the peak of the big 4. Not HTW - which imo worked fine as a forerunner to LIB - but Morphine. Had they put that track in LIB you would have had one of the d

Quotebitusa2012 The “New” Album will be from the vault by the time it sees the light of day I fear. Post of the week. In all fairness some classic albums were partly ”from the vaults”, like Exile that contains material going back to 69. Three years I know but at that time - and considering how fast the band was moving forward in those days - that was a lot.

Quoteretired_dog I've been to 20+ shows... Maybe you could start a thread and tell us about your journey? Back then you had to be motivated to follow the band across several countries.

Quotetreaclefingers Keith's always been jealous of Mick and that's why you see his behaviour the way you have. And if you look back on the year 88 you will notice that Jagger’s tour ended in the green while Keiths solo tour cost him money. Yeah Keith admitted so in a very revealing interview with Laurent Chalumeau around 90. When around 95 Keith confessed that touring solo earnt

QuoteDan I am sure Mick could have toured the US in 1988 if he wished though the sizes of venues and guarantees he would expect were probably quite different than promoters were willing to offer. Another possibility is he did not play that card because he knew the future for him was a reconciliation with Keef. How could that happen if he dried the American gig market by touring there? Play

QuoteGasLightStreet It's absolute fantasy that you think Keith has zero to do with the Stones' finances. I think Keith is totally clueless when it comes to basic daily things, and even more or so about managing the band™. I remember reading a 99 interview where he said he gave a 50 quid tip to a London taxi driver and the person who was with him had to tell him it was too much.

QuoteDGA35 I also remember a quote from Bill Graham (paraphrasing): My lover is now a whore. it reeks of the smell of a disappointed disgruntled lover (Graham) who throws mud around.

Quotecaschimann Great performance! Awesome guitar! in all honesty they did not take any risks : they did not cover the song - which means giving your own version of it - they carbon-copied it. Apparently Trucks knew and drew inspiration from the live 73 arrangements. And yes, like Taylor was that year, he can be pretty "talkative".

QuoteJbeckerfan Here is my question: If the Stones knew Graham was stealing from them, and simply didn't trust him, why didn't they give him that as the reason for not doing the tour with him in 1989? The band likes to work with people they know? They hoped Graham had cleaned up his stable of associates? They used him to assess the validity of Cohl’s offer, who was a newco

Just gotten a Billy Gibbons 2023 gig off Dime and frankly the guy should retire. The good thing is a poor guitarist like me is on par with Billy’s current guitar skills... stumbling through pentatonic scales? Yes I can too.

QuoteBjorn I´m against what Dylan does. Can´t see the point. Just confusing the listener. Must be a Jewish thing. Bob considers his songs like scholars consider Jewish religious texts : you have to read and read them again to completely get their meaning. Bob re-reads i.e. re-arranges his songs to get their true deep meaning.

Quotetreaclefingers Anyway, it's a moot point as this will never happen. It did happen... the 95 Toshiba and Lisboa sessions saw the band re-arrange their old songs. To a certain point. Me I would love to hear the complete material as part of a new archive release...

QuoteKingbeebuzz The great new Dylan album "Shadow Kingdom" shows how one aging artiste can produce a stunning new album with creativity and dignity. Love Bob but he has been a conceptual artist for quite a long time now. The way he constantly re-arranges his own material in a live situation is one example of that. Would it work for our band? Nope. Do you think JJF or Sympathy re
