QuoteNilsHolgersson Wouldn't it be cool if they ended their European tour career in the Rome Colosseum? Because they wanted to perform there for the Rock & Roll Circus . Not quite right there.... The Rock & Roll Circus was filmed in mid-December 1968. I've never ever heard suggestions that conflate that with the Colosseum story. It was done and dusted long before the Colo

Quotetreaclefingers I don't know why this bugged me so much when it first came out: ...so I watched it again. Hmmm...I get the same feeling as the first time! And I don't know why this (23-Feb-76) bugged me, so I watched this (1-May-1975) to hunt for clues. Is imitation really the sincerest form of flattery or a polite description of copying?

The totally unique thing about this set of releases is that, all alone, there's a version of 'Sympathy For The Devil' that has been re-mastered and re-mixed for a 5.1 sound system. So, you can sit in the middle of your lounge room with the fantastic sounds coming from all around you. Love it!! PS. For the record, one of the people involved in the creation of the SACD form

I want to make it very clear before I get to the substance of this posting, that I am a big fan of Ben Waters. Personally I've had the view for many years that The Rolling Stones should part company with The Chuckster, and have Ben in as his replacement. The spirit of Stu lives on in Ben Waters. (And, yes, I know why). But in some idle browsing at I spotted this most recently he wa

Quoteslewan wrong. Every recording that has not been released 50 years after it was originally recorded becomes public domain. Isn't that the wrong way round? If something has never been released, then copyright etc does not come into the picture. As far as I can tell for something that HAS been released lapses (usually) after 50 years.

QuoteNashvilleBlues ^ on the EP vs LP discussion, I have found no clear-cut criteria that makes something an EP vs an LP. Sleep’s Dopesmoker is a one song album that is an hour long. Circle Jerks’ Group Sex is 14 songs in 17 minutes. Categorize those! What about 12" singles? And I have at least one 7" single with more than one track on one of the sides... that's almost an EP!

Quotestargroover The Stones arrived in black limos and were shielded by white barriers as they entered the side door.

But once you let Peter Jackson (and his team) near the product, they seem to be able to rever
