What do you think folks — had Jimi actually heard the ‘Beano’ album before he left New York to relocate to London? As I posted above, I doubt it.

More on Mick and science fiction... Mick paid a visit to Japan in 1992 for the promotion of Freejack, the sci-fi flick co-starring himself. During the stay, he gave several interviews to the media, and commented that, as a young boy, he was an avid science fiction fan and subscribed to a science fiction magazine, looking forward to the monthly arrival of the latest issue.

After all these years (30+), I don’t hesitate to say the Steel Wheels stage, in its massive, spectacular, overwhelming scale, beats its descendants on The Rolling Stones’ every subsequent tour to this day.

I think the studio tweaking, i.e. amending bum notes, filling sound drops, overdub of some instruments, retaking vocals etc, is tolerated to some degree, sometimes necessary, considering the nature of live recording where the unexpected and undesirable are prone to happen.
