In an interview with "Off the record" (Dutch magazine) Black Crowes' singer Chris Robinson talks about bootlegs and says: "A few nights ago I played Philidelphia Spectrum of The Rolling Stones 1972 on vinyl and I thought: Wow, this must be the best show ever!"

Some songs on Exile, like Shake your hips and All down the line, are (almost completely) mixed in mono.

Hi, I play on a Fender Blues Deville 2 x 12 amp, using a SG or Tele. I really like the clean channel, but I'm not too sure of the drive channel. I was thinking of trying a mild overdrive pedal instead. Any ideas? Thanks, RnT

On Bob Wills is still the King Mick seems to be playing a Taylor acoustis guitar. I think he played Gibson and Guild acoustics on the tours before ABB. Does anyone what guitar it is exactly?

While listening to Exile through headphones I noticed that Hip Shake and All down the line are more or less mixed in mono. Do you know more songs recorded in the age of stereo that have been mixed in mono? Any ideas why? Any comments on the soundquality etc.?

Josh said >My favorite thank you of his to the Stones is in the liner notes of either American Fool or Uh Huh where he thanks them for "never taking the living room of the records"> Yeah, that's on Uh Huh, a great album (Pink Houses etc.). I also like Scarecrow.

I noticed on the DVD that a certain Ian Stewart is mentioned as executive producer. Is it meant as a tribute to the THE Ian Stewart? Or is it someone else?

It can be annoying if many fans sing every single word of each and every song. I never experienced that with the Stones however. It happened to me once with U2. The fans sang so loud it was impossible to follow what was going on onstage. And after a while people around me started to look angry at me because I didn't sing!

I've seen them many times since 1976. Their strength has always been that they played the warhorses like they wrote them yesterday. But they do have offdays offcourse. I felt I attended an offday during the Licks tour, a stadium show. After an energetic start it seemed to me they were going through the motions, another boring day at the office. But hey, I don't mind. They don't ow

How's their live album "Live at the Matrix" or something like that? I think it's from 1974. Is it worth buying?

Keith wrote the song and the main guitarpart is the rhythmguitar in open G. So it makes sense he plays that part live and leave the fills to Ronnie.

Or is it not him?

The Stones mark I is a long time ago and therefore not discussed as much as mark II & III. But I love some of the old stuff.
