I have always been facinated with band personality dynamics that bring bands down. This movie just covers that so well. The build up from starting to get back into form until that one night when everything gels.

I think the last true, what I would call a contaversy involving the Stones was having to change the lyrics of Lets Spend The Night for Eddy. In those days things like that had a little shock effect on the public. Quickly after that the world got real jaded. Having a song like Undercover critisized was a little old hat by that time. I do grapple sometimes with why the Stones are not less hyp

It has been my experience the Stones conscript either a top notch band who can hold their own or someone who just gets lost on stage (just not enough presence).

A couple of observations for with sssoul and Doxa. First perceptions of how big any band was in 73 is diferent than now. Doxa was correct in Japan and other Asian countries not only being strict but it also extended to western culture, including sixties rock. I doubt the Stones had anywhere near the following westerners would have at that point. Media was not as prevelent on a world scale.

"And the concert at all was like a cheap hotel-show in vegas" I love this description of classic Americana.

john r / T&A....when I say overproduced I mean in comparison with what a band sounds like live. In CCR's case your comments about the 'quality' and such of CCR records I totaly agree with. But after I saw them live I gravitated to the fact that much like the Stones their live versions realy rocked. Songs that came off one way on the album (smoother, cleaner, et.) came off as up

How can Donovan be called 'too Austin Powers'. Check which side of the cart the horse is on. Donovan was the quintisential hippie musician, light, whimsical, love , peace, flowers. At the time Donovan was Donovan, he was very popular and my kids still love singing Mellow Yellow. Ya see...Austin Powers is a parody of the Donovan stereo types of that era, so being a parody it would it wou

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is little live material for CCR out there...get some. As others that have seen them will attest, their records were very over produced...live their songs were played faster and with more pure R&R feel.

Keith has said you don't want to catch them during their first few shows. Even live the Vancouver show lacked any kind of pollish, it was lively though. I think this is one of my biggest pet peeves about the Stones. Fans jump hoops to get tickets at huge prices and the band uses this time to hammer out a product. Kind of a slap in the face to the first shows fans. It's a real dilema f

Thanks for standing up Richard. What you are doing is healthy, rounded interests. I like 'artist's' for their 'art'.

After 10 months of making payments I got to see the 'two' dances my daughter had been rehersing in the year end dance recital. They split it up into two shows (one dance each) so I had to buy tickets for both. Well I sat down and did the math, after 10 months of lessons, outfits, pictures, flowers for the leading lady and tickets about $1,100.00 CDN ($1,400 US), or $550.00/dance. Now

The entire acoustic sound of JJ Cale is played on a $50.00 used Harmony acoustic with 5 pickups glued in, so it's in the ear of the beholder. One point not covered is that they make 'Acoustic' amps specific to the enhancements for semi-acoustic guit
