Elvis Costello had the Spectacular Spinning Songbook in 1986 and 1987. He reprised it in 2011 and 2012. Some were song titles but others were themes like Time which usually resulted in a cover of Out Of Time. The Stones never had a wheel but they did have the Internet song choice in 1997 and 1998, the precursor to the current phone app request.

The Stones are kind of like another British institution - the Royal Family. Sir Mick and Keef have allowed the former young Prince MickT to return to the fold but it is rolled out in a very conscious methodical manner so as to acknowledge the politics. Prince Mick T is alotted one, then two and then four titles. He must earn his way back in. Prince Ron must not be slighted but he goes back with P

Just saw the CYHMK video. I think that is what Taylor fans have been waiting for. The first half of the show is evolving and now Taylor is more likely to be put into that first half. Presumably Sway won the poll for song to be performed, not the most popular of songs among the mainstream audience but clearly driven by the hardcore audience picking a song where Mick Taylor's appearance is mor

The Rolling Stones have no track record of changing set lists. The only time they did was the Licks tour. Bob Dylan only started doing it with the six date tour with the Dead in 1987. This year his Bobness has chosen to keep a pretty consistent set list probably as Duke Robillard finds his feet as the new guitar player but also to give the show a greater consistency after some pretty ramshackle p

When Jagger asked "Who's fighting and what for?" he misunderstood the circumstances and left the false impression that a riot broke out. Did you see any "hippies" fighting?

QuoteLongBeachArena72 I think you're right. It became a business. And made many many people many billions of $$$ over the ensuing decades. Which I think makes it all the more impressive that so many of the songs we love the most—and which continue to dominate the band's live set to this day—were written before this professionalization.

Altamont was a hugely significant event in Stones history and rock n roll history as well.The Rolling Stones are responsible for professionalizing the touring business and Altamont made it clear that it had to happen.

My first show wasin Orchard Park NY outside of Buffalo in 1981. It was unofficial Canadian date on the tour as the Stones couldn't play Canada. Missed Thorogood. sat through Journey but I was starting to trip on the two hits of acid I bought in the stadium. Wind was blowing badly to the point that they had to cut down the pastel design that covered the PA. it was an interesting show and when

Woody sings on Just My Imagination. Among finest backing vocals since Exile on that one and the last truly superior cover Stones recorded IMHO.

Saw the first show in Buffalo. Going Saturday night in Pennsylvania. New set list with four Tempest songs and all emphasis on late career. Only three songs from sixties. Softer sound with Stu on acoustic all night. More pleasing to hard core fans like me than the general audience. Charlie did two equal length stints in Dylan's band. He is far too talented to just be Bob"s guitar player.

Agree that Property Of Jesus is great. Pure Staples Singers gospel. It is interesting to note that the song is addressed to Mick Jagger who made some derogatory comments about Dylan's Christian conversion.

I think Keith has been very generous with Mick Taylor in the last year. When Keith referred to Bill and MT as Stonesin late 2011 it paved the way for what is now happening. I expect MT to come on at the same point in the show and stay to the end. Expect Midnight Rambler and Cant You Hear Me Knocking to be rotated and the same warhorses each night but with MT's input.MT gets a substantial fee

I always liked the studio version and I saw them on September 3rd 1989 at the old CNE Stadium in Toronto. It was a thrill to hear it live although I am sure most of the crowd did not know it. For someone who started going to Stones shows only in 1981, I've done pretty well for witnessing obscure songs: Down The Road Apiece, Tops, One Hit To The Body, Play With Fire, Terrifying,Hot Stuff, Bra

Lou Reed "Turn To Me" from New Sensations. Musically a total tribute to "Honky Tonk Women". Bruce Springsteen did some versions of "Darlington County" in 1999 that morphed into "Honky Tonk Women" not that the original bears that much resemblance to it.

I personally consider this an important thread. Vegas era is 1989 on to me. Going back to 1989, I was thrilled with how well the band played. I saw the third show of the tour in Toronto (later Pontiac). I was shocked when they launched into Midnight Rambler which I thought was gone from their show forever. It was way more professional than the 1981 tour which I also saw twice. They were more of a

In Keith's book, he says that while Exile was being mixed at Sunset Sound, they used to take rough mixes to the radio station and have them played over the air so they could hear how they sounded on the radio. Is there proof of this? Anecdotal evidence anyone?

Loved Frank mostly cos he was an true artist with an incredible output. No it is not all great but them's the breaks with people with a huge amount of material (eg.

Of all the albums since Dirty Work, ABB is the only one that I actually liked. Personally I think "She Saw Me Coming" is hilarious and has a pretty good riff to it as well.

I find it very hard to understand how that list of songs is better than Exile. But then my experience is that I have been listening to Exile for forty years and it is in my DNA. As Jack White pointed out, there should be a kick drum as the drums start on Ventilator Blues but there isn't and that turns out to be what is so great about it. Exile is like that.

Beggars Banquet - the emergence of the Stones Mach II - the one that built the legacy that is now celebrated. Steeped in country blues - the rootsiest of all Stones' records. Also first record where tuning (in this case open E) was a significant part of the record.
