Yesterday's issue of German prominent weekly newspaper has an interview with Mick Jagger about his new song, Charlie Watts,and the upcomin tour. Nothing spectacular, IMO, but worth reading if you speak or understand German.

I never understood why the played Lady Jane only once in 2012. It was a beautiful rendition, and it would be a highlight of the show. Same goes for Heart of stone (which has been played more often). Songs like Citadel oder 2120 South Michigan avenue would not work! But do they play such slow ballads in a stadium?

The first part of the 1975 Tour was surprisingly good, as I was convinced by an earlier post on IORR. But during the later part Jagger's singing was a catastrophy, it was more sort of 'barking' than singing. The 1976 Tour was more consistent, and they were still a legend. However, the concert at Kiel must have been a complete trainwreck where many people left early, ond on one o

The question is still open from when the Rolling Stones themselves had their shows recorded professionally in soundboard quality.

If I ask politely why Mick Taylor was not present why shouldn't I be entitled to do so? At least he was on a world tour with the Rolling Stones including Charlie Watts only some years ago. I never participated in the Taylor - Wood discussion because I find it dull and boring, and I think that both guitarists stood/stand for their Rolling Stones era. But I always took great interest in Mick T

He opened for the Rolling Stones along with the Meters and Little Feat at Stuttgart, Neckarstadion, June 19. 1976, the first Stones concert in a stadium in Europe at all. Of all those three groups I liked him best. But he had just released 'Music' back then, and he filled in for Robin Trower who for some reason or another could not appear. It was sensational to hear the massive hit live

Quotemisterfrias It’s all about the money. Roger Waters would have done it too. This would be particularly ironic because Clinton Heylin writes in his book about the history of bootlegs that bootleggers released a record from an Pink Floyd concert at the beginning of a tour within one week, and all four members of the group (including Waters) bought a copy.

Yesterday it was in the news that Eric Clapton sues a woman from Germany for up to 250.000 Euros for the breach of his copyrights and his publishing rights. What happened was that her late husband bought a live CD with an unlicensed live recording (from the series LIVE IN USA) which was offered officially in German Stores for about 10 Euros. I also bought that CD back then, and although it was ob

No offence here but judging from the youtube videos I think that Paul McCartney's voice menawhile is shot to pieces and painful to listen to. It's a problem of aging so he can do nothing about it.

From all we know there can be no doubt that Brian Jones was the driving force behind the Rolling Stones in the early days. And then there was the marketing strategy by Andrew Loog Oldham. If you state that it was all Mick and Keith's merits that is seen from hindsight. And I do think that there were many accidental events in the band's carreer which made their success lasting. There
