QuoteStoneage The older they get the higher the price. I paid about $25 for my first gig in 1990. Travel was the big cost then. Now it's the other way around. Worse ... In 1973 I paid 15 DMark for a concert ticket and had to pay 5 times (!) the amount for the train to take me return from Amsterdam to Hamburg. In 2015 my return flight (across the Atlantic!) to the USA was about the same

After 1967 there was some "silence". The Beatles had to come up with something spectacular again (by demand of the fans and the media) after SPLHCB. Don't misunderstand me, I occasionally enjoy listening to that album, but it was lifted beyond itself by the media. Epstein had died, leaving a gap. The Rolling Stones had a traumatic year with three of its members even briefly jailed

Indeed, interesting look at that period combined with the release of Let It Bleed. As far as The Rolling Stones were concerned, off course they has said goodbye to the sixties, the decade that was created by Brian Jones (as far as the input of the band). Sadly he almost destroyed his creation. Mick Taylor was the all important fresh blood the band needed. Also the audience had changed from screa

QuoteMKjan The real chemistry began at the Dartford train station. That wasn't chemistry but a unique reunion of two old school friends ... If there could have been any chemistry, it was Keith loving Mick's icecream. Loving the same kind of music doesn't neccesarily create a band. Brian knew Mick and Charlie (who joined "much" later) loosely from his work with Alexis K

None of the original band members were able to explain the success of The Rolling Stones other than using the word “chemistry”. As a former analytical chemist I understand what chemistry is all about at a scientific level, but chemical interaction between human beings is, as far as I can see it, way to complex for anyone to understand, let alone explain it. Why does a person love another person?
