Stanley Booth gets it a *lot* righter than most people. his Keith bio does have a couple of glaring errors in it (most notably giving the title Beggars Banquet when he clearly meant Between the Buttons), but The True Adventures seems mighty spot-on. and besides the facts, as others have noted: Stanley *gets* it, and he knows how to convey it. he writes just like ringin a bell.

admit it, Baboon Bro - you just put that in there to see if anyone was paying attention, and because you were craving dialog. it's in the nature of Baboon Bros. :E

Keith's rendition takes this beautiful number to places it was craving to go. the name of the CD it's on is Weird Nightmare, and it's not out of print or anything - go for it, it's way cool.

thanks, Mathijs! i kinda suspected it was 81.

wow, thank you for that! i love Booth's book and this is a very cool article.
Forum: Tell Me

most listeners may not be able to analyze/discuss the mix the way Mathijs and some others can, but i don't think that means they aren't reacting to it. i sure am - i can't even imagine not responding to it. it's a purely animal reaction, just like to the beat.

heya Kent ... i think the "Arthur" is Ronnie joking about Keith referring to "missing the archipelago" - he's suggesting yet another wrong term to use. but (in a not-really related story!) once when Keith was asked about rock & roll being art, he said something like: "all i know about art is that it's short for Arthur."

>> Is Allen Klien involved in that? Must be. << isn't ABKCO involved with *any* releases that include anything from the Stones' early catalog?

Barbuti, right now it sounds like the platinum memberships that people have now are for the whole world, not just north america. but they haven't really explained that. and yes, with one membership you can only buy tickets for one show. but you can get multiple memberships if you feel it's worth it.

well, i know a CD by that title. if it's the same track list as this vinyl you're looking at (or for), it's a compilation of assorted stuff from the late 70s/early 80s: early takes and rehearsals from Stones sessions, some tracks from the session Keith did in LA in 81 with Bobby Keys, the official version of Truly (which was on an Ian McLagan album), etc. the audio quality of the

what they've said so far sounds like maybe the same "cut-off date" is going to apply for all the presales, not just the North American ones. they haven't stated that explicitly; but they also haven't said explicity that the "pre-presale" deal for pre-may-9thers only applies to North American gigs. they did extend the pre-may-9th memberships for an extra year,

it also appears that the prices of the "hot seats" vary from venue to venue. in chicago they were around $350 (maybe less), but other places had them for $450, right? (is that a stadium vs arena dichotomy?)
