QuoteKingbeebuzz On the TAMI show Brian used a 6 string. On Joe Loss BBC Radio Show he used a 6 string. Is Wikipedia entry wrong?p I always thought the on the TAMI Show the Rolling Stones performed to a pre-recorded instrumental tape with only Mick Jagger singing live. It could be the same on the Joe Loss Show but I know nothing about it.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotewindmelody That was a great show, and I prefer most nineties concerts (and 89 of course) to the hyped 81/82 shows. In 81/82 Mick Jaggers vocals were often nothing but shouts, and his wardrobe was absolutely horrible. I find that strange. In 1973, 1975, 1976 and partly 1978 his vocals were often shouts. 1975/1976 in particular. In 1981 he obviously had been taking

Quotejlowe Here is a stab at Question 1. Whilst not word for word, it summarises the situation Bill found himself in 1971 (Stone Alone book). In 1970/71 The Stones (minus Mick T) found themselves each with tax debts of £100k. Their income (less tax) was insufficient to quickly pay the amount off. Rather than do a deal with the Authorities they went for tax exile (though not in itself a cheap

Being the archivist of the groug, Bill Wyman might be the most interesting band member to ask quastions about the early years of the Rolling Stones. Unfortunately, some time ago I learned too late that he was at Zurich which is not too far from me, and the People were allowed to ask him some questions.

Those are nitpicking types of complaints. -Cam No, they are not! Nobody expects

I have often wondered why there is a piano audible on the Get Yer YaYa's live album. Is it an overdub, or did Ian Stewart actually play on stage? If you listen to the Oakland November 9, 1969 soundboard recording there is no piano to be heard on any of the songs.
