i agree with ohnonotyouagain, those outtakes do not thrill me so much. the material stays weak. that said, there's a lot of truth in the first post regarding the approach to studio production by the band.

yo're right markdog, i spoke with a friend who's in the field and he says no matter how big is the name and high level is the sound system, to make a good sound in a stadium is always hard and often unpredictable. they have kind of templates for different kind of venues and they make adjustment in the place and then it is hard, almost impossible, to fix once the the show is on.

i think stones ARE rhythm and blues if not the stones, who? r'n'b is 90% of what MTV broadcasts when and if they broadcast music not that I dislike everything of it (mary j. blige, badu, alicia keys..) but... Best 2005 r'n'b record for me: Bettye Lavette, I got my own hell to raise of corse she's not a teenager, also she's british..

it baffles me that no one here mentioned mick's sore throat which is probably the main cause for the shortened shows (at least in numbers) i am glad to to hear ther's a general consensus (both from fans and press) about the quality of the two london gigs. yes, OpenG, I agree, Stones show nowadays is pretty much programmed to last 2 hours and the setlists are built in order to achi

if there's a song that identifies the stones live performance from 1969 to 2006 is Midnight Rambler so I guess I would go for it From studio material I would choose Tumbling Dice or Jumping Jack Flash or Brown Sugar

i am afraid i am not sharing the same enthusiasm here for this stuff. Though i can hear the difference on tracks like hearts for sale, hold on and almost hear you sigh, and of course i appreciate this less "slick" and less "anemic" (appropriate adjctvs for SW!) versions, i must say i don't think they can redeem the weakness of the whole material. It was 1989 and I think M

i would never want to contradict mathijs.... but if the shehani is what mick talks about ("with Dave Mason playing the shehani on it live. It's a kind of Indian reed instrument a bit like a primitive clarinet. It comes in at the end of the tune. It has a very wailing, strange sound.") it can be heard clearly and only right after the end of the singing, just as a monotone blowing so

the lament is for the backup singers but the "problem" is chuck because no one (nicky, ian, ian or billie) seemed to have the position and influence that chuck has now. however the "problem" has more than one face 1) i think he has a prominent role in the fact that since 1989 stones have turned more and more to stick to the original recorded version of the song 2) he gives

You scored as Bill Wyman. Bill Wyman! Bassist for the stones until '93, when he grew sick of touring. He was usually the quiet one in the back, but his sound could always be heard due to his powerful amp. Apparently he wasn't that devoted, because he simply up and left the band...but he always had a place, since they still haven't replaced him. Bill Wyman 60%

i think there's an explanation to that right in Four Flicks in a piece of interview where keith remembers how they (he and charlie i think) cut SFM the first time. If i remember well he speaks about a little tape recorder and the effect of distortion due to the distance from where they were playing and the fact that they liked that and kept to the final cut. I might be wrong, check it out mu

agree with liddas, keith is not the type of guitar player that can follow a karaoke number for long. He needs to be in the lead of the tempo. Of course 69 version remains the best.

the whole song is deteriorated 1) the record-like arrangement but glossy 2) the sampled percussion 3) keith's solo 4) mick cutting off parts of the lyrics replace with 2 songs? naaaah they know people is crazy to go "woo-hooing!"
