Covig 19 is the silent enemy that nobody as yet has a cure for. Italy Spain and now Germany have been trying to slow it down by creating a 3 week slow down window but so far that has not worked.

Many thanks BV for all the time and effort that you have put in to IORR. You must have a close affinity with the Stones sources because the vast majority of forth coming tour information has always been spot on. I did not realise that the site is 40 years old so many happy returns as our favourite band has now been in existance for 58 years.

You are right DandelionPowderman Family & Sweet Lucy were released in 1975 on Metamorphis which centres on outtakes and alternate versions of well-known songs recorded from 1964 to 1970. This release was forced by Alan Klein to fulfil and finish the ongoing lawsuit he had against the Stones. From above it is obvious that there is very little half decent material left that could be used as

Might be difficult for finding quality songs from that era that were almost finished but more lightly left as outtakes. For to add a bonus disc of extra songs from that time would mean Mick & Don Was going through hrs and hrs of tapes and that is most unlikely to happen.O Obvious completed one's are already there which are - Jumpin Jack Flash and Child of the Moon & Memo to Turne

Mick Jagger has stated that he did various vocal harmony overlays on CYHMK as the key was to high for him and he had to hide the fact that he was not hitting the notes well. Keith Richards and Mick Taylor have both said they didn’t plan the long instrumental jam; they had simply kept playing without realizing the tape was still rolling. After hearing the playback, they realized they’d recorded

Sipuncula talked about people in their teenage years at different points in time would probably be more in tune with Stones songs that they grew up with and he/she has a very valid point. Yes your teenage years are very informative and what was on the sound waves then more than likely formed the basis of what was hip for you from then onwards . I am one of the early Stones fans (1962 onwards)

The biggest attraction that would lead to Glastonbury opening for 2018 has to be Led Zeppelin. Thinking that their reputation is immense and Plant and Page are idolised plus how many people have actually seen them live since 1980.

This type of generalisation about how the Stones new album is progressing has been used before by Don Was and the statement by MelBelli on IORR which read - "Stuff sounds good (I'm told); but quite a bit of work left, and still uncertainty about which direction some of it will go." This sounds like a delaying tactic used by the Stones before when they have allegedly been w

Well Doxa you are quiet right it was only a bunch of old farts that either bought the album Blue & Lonesome or were given it as a Xmas present.

I recall when i was a 15yr spring chicken Stones and Beatlemania was all that teenagers talked about an

Streets of Love has received so much criticism by fans yet when played live in Rome the audience fully participated in singing along with the song. Perhaps its a Latin thing but this song was also popular in South America similar to Angie which went to No1 in America in 1973. Out of Tears and Blinded by Rainbows were other Stones ballad's that many fans did not appreciate or like. Alas n

For all fans in their 50/60s the circle of life is getting closer and closer. This applies even more to 70+ guys performing and we should treat this tour as most likely to be the last one.

Growing up in 1962/63 at High School all you heard about was how fab the Beatles were and no one else existed.

David Marchese must have spent a lot of time listening to the 373 Stones songs so that he could present his summation for all to see.

The Rolling Stones recorded Black and Blue while auditioning Mick Taylor's replacement, so it's unfair to criticize it, really, for being longer on grooves and jams than songs, especially since that's what's good about it.
