What goes for those highly popular slow songs, they seem to have them in rotation, just playing about one of them per gig, since Mick sees that too many slow songs is not good for the flow of the concert (or something). So it is hard for a ballad to get a 'war horse' st

Dear Bjornulf, you are absolutely right but do we really think that it would be interesting to see Mick Jagger's living room as a fan, only to say 'Whow, this is your living room'?

There were some reasons for the double-show concept: - They were much younger back then and had lots more energy. For insstance, Mick Jagger sang quite 'natural' without much effort up until 1973. Only on the last number Street fighting man he pushed to the limit. - There were some ballads in the setlist (eg. Love in Vain, Prodigal son, Angie). - The setlists were rather stale so a

Quoteslew I agree with Van! I have been an ardent Van Morrison fan since the early 1980s, owning most of his records and many, many bootlegs, attending many concerts, but this does not mean that everything he does, says (and puts on record) is really a classic. What he says about Covid is wrong and reckless! I can understand that at 75 he suffers by not being able to perform like he was use

It's a shame they obviously did not record any of the two or three liver versions from the 1973 Tour of Europe professionally because that would have been a substantial addition. Neverthjeless, this demo is great, regardless of when the vocals were recorded. If Mick could sing now on a Studio recording like he did in the 1970s it wopuld be unbelievable!

Having attended the most memorable concert at Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany, on the Zeppelinfeld on July 1, 1978, I am still waiting for another live compilation from that tour besides the Budokan Album. IMO this was a great tour, so different from the legendary 1974 tour, and Dylan invented himself anew. Like for instante the live versions of Mindight rambler from Leeds 1971 and Brussels 1973

I must agree with Bill Wyman. Tt would have never worked for the said reasons (same goes for Eric Clapton, btw). But it would have certainly interesting if he had had the chande to contribute on one or two songs, like the other guitarists on Black & Blue. And Rory Gallagher would have been prevented from making those great records back in the late 1970s.
