The White Album has maybe 4 great songs, the rest are split between ok songs and outright crap (e.g. Honey Pie)

Tony Sanchez book has some discussion of it. I read somewhere that what woke Mick up was when Elvis died in 77. That sounds about right.

Read it twice--think it's a great book. thanks for the reminder maybe I will re read.

I grew up in Detroit where every self-respecting rocker carried a "DREAD" card. "Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco." Some bagged on the Stones for it but the songs sold well and got a lot of airplay and the whole thing died out in a year or two. Go to YouTube and check out "Anti-disco night at Comiskey Park Steve Dahl" for a taste of the era.

Great post. Thanks.

I think CH by a hair, in part because it doesn't have any crap songs like Neocon, or Sweethearts together. If I had a friend that didn't know latter period Stones, and I wanted to prove they still have it, I would give him CH.

Props to deathgod to be first report and accurate. Cred brother. Keep us posted.

I loved watching it. Liked Keith's understated playing and Charlie air drumming shows they don't take themselves too seriously. Coolest part of the show (sorry Melinda Gates).

The Beatles aren't even as good as the Everly Brothers.

My buddy got Keith pick after Winos show at Fox Theater in Detroit, 88.

The album has some good stuff on it. I like Party Doll, lonely at the top, Lucky in Love, and others.

Wish I could have been in the room when they decided to put Let's Work on this. Must have been awkward for someone.

Great post, great album that is aging well. My favorite is Robbed Blind.

blah blah blah. Some nice songs and good memories from when it came out.

There's probably some bootleg that beats ya ya's but I haven't heard it. Especially with the slomo Maysles video.

Crosseyed Heart is great reason for hope.
Forum: Tell Me

It shows them tightening up from the sloppy play of some prior tours. Pretty lively versions of some fun songs, including Little Red Rooster with Clapton. Wish Gimme Shelter would have been on it. Hard to say you hate this album and love other live albums unless you are filtering it highly subjectively based on your own life. It rips.

Easy: Wish I had a River by Joni Mitchell.

I would be all prepared to dismiss the potential if Crosseyed Heart was not so great. Maybe there is something left.

Sweet Neocon makes Side 2 nearly unlistenable. Worse than Let's Work.

Yeah still waiting for Seattle litho and t shirt. They won't even say when it will be ready. They probably wait and see how many orders they get, then begin looking for the cheapest possible source, and get put to back of line.

Anyone else there? Some memorable shows.

So I am watching "the Hustler" last night and Piper Laurie says to Paul Newman: "I've got troubles, I think you got troubles, maybe we should leave each other alone." Which Dylan basically used verbatim in "Seeing the real you at last" on Empire Burlesque.
