Love it, love Hunter! However, The Hoople is a great album, too, even though Ralphs had left.

QuoteSpud I'll stick with their first two albums I think. I haven't been too enamoured of anything they've done since...either collectively or individually. You better check out Before The Frost.

Good choices, Doxa. Driving Me Too Hard and Tell Me Straight are two more I just can't skip. It's perhaps a bit monotonous, but I love Dreamy Skies as well.

QuoteSpud Well, they couldn't cut it too loud because its quite a long run time for a single LP...so it could in part be a happy accident. [...but I'd like to think otherwise. ] Good point, it's 48 minutes. It's a remarkable difference compared with the cd anyway

My only caveat is, I’d prefer it not to be so ‘brickwalled’ - but that’s a minor complaint Unfortunately that's the way it's been for quite some time.

<Satisfaction on the YAYA's deluxe is different than the version on the Gimmie Shelter movie> Same with You Gotta Move and Prodigal Son. The latter is so out of tune that they finish it early, if memory serves

QuoteDoxa Never heard that live version before. Thanks, Dandie! Yeah, a pretty nice version. What a storm of acoustic guitars! And Mick's delivery is a spot on. Never been any of my biggest favourites, but damn, there is a nice song there. Some really nice features musically and melodically (forget the lyrics). Funnily, reminds me a bit of "Waitin' On A Friend" (thinking

'Mick's' and 'Keith's' songs mean the songs they brought to the sessions, not that they wrote them alone.

QuoteTaylor1 QuoteMariuana QuoteTaylor1 Brian was a founding member who was instrumental in creating the band and it's unique sound. He is not overrated. With respect to Sympathy he most likely was important in turning the song from a Dylanesque folk song to the percussive album version. He was experimenting with African percussion on Satanic.

Quoteliddas DP and Spud, sure you have an argument there, yet Fingers and Exile, as I see them, somehow develop what was already there in Banquet and Bleed, they don't really add anything new.

QuotePelle The end-part of the song. Starts at 3:30 Right channel 3:30: Multiple violins, playing the same notes. The mix is not very bright, and the effect of it all is a wee bit strange, imo. But definitely violins.

They played the longest setlist ever. Preston was a star. Mick needed a singing break. Could be a combination of different reasons. IMO, it worked nicely, musically.
