Gazza, your points are right on the frigging money. It's amazing you have to spell it out. It's hilarious, "Chuck's piano ruins the sound...blah, blah, blah." Chuck plays EXACTLY what the Stones want to hear or he'd be gone. They like the sound so much that they've had him on stage with them for over 20 years. His keyboards are first class and sound great, throu

I'm looking at my Cobo stubb and a not torn New Barbarians ticket from Cincinnati. Why unused I have no idea. Maybe they forgot to tear it? Anyway, Cobo in Detroit the ticket says "April 28 1979 WABX & Brass Ring Announce: The Barbarians featuring Ron Wood, Keith Richards. Saturday Evening, 8:00 PM. $9.00."

I bought mine on Sunday at the Best Buy in Dayton, Ohio after my golf game. Huge display of everything Stones right when I walked in the door. It cost half what my golf game cost, and the way I played Sunday, it was definitely a better bargain. I love the DVD, of course. I always love to watch Stones footage, my one great weakness.

I'm in the Forty Licks DVD at Circus Crone during the Otis Redding song. I have to slow motion it, but when I do there's no doubt. I'm in that DVD from St. Louis, was that Bridges or Voodoo? It was the one from the HBO special. Anyhow, I don't have to slow that one down, me and my buddy are clear as a bell. It's not a DVD, but I bought that Genesis book about the 75

Riverfront Colosium in Cincinnati,Ohio, and Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI were both quick sell outs. I was on the floor at both shows and they were wild. I still have that crazy, officially sanctioned, "Ear-To-Ear Violence" T-shirt they sold at the concerts. Plus 35mm photos and silent film. Those were wild concerts, everybody was thrilled.

Hi Mathijs, it has been my understanding that Keith wrote this song. I beleive Mick has said as much in interviews I've read through the years. I've always assumed that Keith wrote the song on piano, as opposed to the guitar, due to the chord structure. Ever noticed Keith palying piano on Ruby Tuesday on Ed Sullivan? I've always felt this was somewhat telling. I've always g

It seems Mick continues to be very motivated and driven. And God bless him. My guess is most Stones fans always root for his success. Whether he achieves it or not is in the ears of the beholder. I will always have faith that Keith still has a bunch of great songs in him, just waiting to get out. I wish Mick and Keith were working together. The simple and sad fact is, they can't stand

Too Many Cooks (Spoil The Soup) by Mick is actually a cover of the R&B hit by the soul band "100 Proof Aged In Soul" on the Hot Wax label. The song charted on the Top 100 in December of 1969. I have this single and it is definitley the one Mick covers. This song was not written by Willie Dixon.

THANK YOU, UrbanSteel. Fantastic. I've got the Some Girls eight track and the eight track player, but what a hassle.....but this is just great.

Only those are reported under ASCAP. I'll check BMI. By the way, how many Nanker-Phelge credits are there? There's always been a bit of a discrepancy when I've checked in the past. I believe I found a difference once between credits on USA vs UK records, for example. Can you or someone list the Nanker-Phelge credited songs? Thanks.

By the way, I believe that's a first for me. Gazza was wrong and I was able to provide accurate information! Time for a Guinness.

Nanker-Phelge credits did indeed include Ian Stewart. Look it up. ASCAP web site. Stu has four song credits under the Ameican Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers. 1) Boogie With Stu (all 4 Zeps, Mrs. Valens and Stu are credited as authors.) 2) Little By Little (all 5 Stones inc William Perks and Brian Dawson Jones etc, Stu, and Phil Spector 3) Now I've Got A Witness (all 5 Stone

Yes that's Wembley. This one of the songs that they re-shot some close-ups, for the At The Max release. Certain parts you can tell by comparing the "sweat" on Keith's shirt. I remember the production team during the reshoot, which was done on stage at Wembley to an empty stadium. Anyway, they were spraying Keith's shirt with a water bottle to try and match it from the f

Wild Horses was the second 45 released by the Stones on the Rolling Stones Records label. It charted top 30.....Sway was the B-side, with a different mix at that.

If you add up Bigger Bang and Jump Back, the Stones are #96 last week. And that's not counting any other catalogue sales. It is amazing how little product the band is moving, while on the road. Then again, they're in their 60's. Look at that chart....who will still be on the charts, with current product, when they are over 60 years old? Nobody. That's my hunch, anyway.

the Stones REALLY were threatened by that '76-'77 punk movement Leaonard, I really feel this is a fact. And, in my view, that fear and urgency lead to the Stones producing some great tracks....when many had written them off for good.

I always thought that the 78 tour was under rated! Shows what I know. That tour had an intensity about it that is hard to explain unless you were there. It seemed as if the whole show could collapse at any moment and turn into utter chaos. Actually, I think at a couple of shows, it did just that! That tour had an edge to it. No doubt about it. I just looked it up and, unless I'm mistaken,
