Quotewith sssoul the Rolling Stones are so educational! the lights of Marfa: but what town was he lost in? it's not "I was lost in the real" I'm pretty sure it's Del Rio, which according to Google maps, is east of Marfa on Route 90. I don't think Vista is right either, it sounds to me like Vinson, which is further east again in Oklahoma, but doesn't real

QuoteRockman ....... come on geoff please tell us all ya remember.... Oh and yeah geoff can you remember if the girls masturbating when The Stones were on??? What I mainly remember is the girls screaming so loud I could hardly hear the band - I don't know what else the girls were up to, perhaps that was the cause of the screaming! However, I'm not sure that kind of thing was popular

While we're on the subject, they also stole Bert Jansch's version of the folk standard Black Waterside and called it Black Mountain Side, credited (of course) to Jimmy Page Sadly, Bert Jansch died this week.

Never meet your heroes I don’t read many celebrity autobiographies, but as a fan since the early days, I had to finally read Keith’s. I had always bought into the ‘loveable rogue’ image, but I have now downgraded that to just ‘rogue’. I found the book disappointing on two levels – as a book, there were factual errors, contradictions, repetitions and typos, and given that the subject and the

I went to one of the Manchester shows in March 71, and I'm pretty certain CYHMK and Wild Horses weren't played - Brown Sugar and Bitch were introduced as new songs from Sticky Fingers, but the rest of the set were familiar songs. The other thing I remember was Keith picking up his acoustic for Love In Vain, and finding it was so far out of tune that they abandoned it.

The first pop show I ever saw - good, but full of screaming girls. Am I correct in thinking that they were the first band of any note to have the singer / lead / rhythm / bass / drums lineup?

A small observation - most of Ry Cooder's work on his superb early records was interpretative. He took a wide variety of songs from different sources, and arranged them in new and interesting ways (eg. his best known track 'Little Sister', which is very different from the Elvis Presley original). It's not hard to imagine hime hearing Country Honk, and playing around with it a

The first time I saw the Stones was 21st September 1964 in Hull, at a concert which was filmed by Pathe News and titled 'The Rolling Stones Gather No Moss'. I believe this is the first colour film of the band, and clips of it appear in various documentaries, usually showing them playing 'Around & Around' with Mick in a white cardigan. Does anyone know if the complete

Is there a story about the 'lost' sax solo? I've always thought it sounds as though there was originally a sax solo in the middle, but after it starts, it fades away ... did Keith decide to wipe it and just leave the guitars?

Listening to Radio 2 this morning (I know, showing my age) and whoever it is who comes up with the playlists must have decided it was about time they had a Stones track - and what, from their vast collection, do you think they played? Poison Ivy from 1964! I hadn't heard it for about 35 years,but it still sounded fresh. What an amazing selection.

Hull ABC, 21st September 1964 - this concert was the first colour film of the band playing live, and clips appear in various documentaries - Mick wore a white cardigan, Brian in a striped T-shirt. Very exciting, but you couldn't hear much because of the girls screaming - as they used to say about Beatles concerts, there wasn't a dry seat in the house!
