Now if we can just get Google music is offer FLAC files in the U.S.......... Anybody wanna shoot me an email and let me know where I might find the FLAC files? I don't mind to pay for this show, but I'd much rather have FLAC than mp3..

The '75 tour, with all it's faults, was still great. There were bad nights, sure, and it probably gets a bad rep from that awful L.A. 7/11/75 video that circulates. It's one of, if not the worst show of the tour. 1976 on the other hand was very different. Many of the great aspects of the '75 tour were gone. The '76 Europe jaunt wasn't entirely bad, but it wa

I've read about that in several different books. I've never heard of it being disputed. I don't think Wyman was actually "hiding" under the bed though. He was apparently forced there at knife point.....or machete point. Whatever. I understand that Davis' book does have alot of factual errors. And yes it is mean spirited. He seemed to have a desire to tear the

I wouldn't be surprised if this release and future releases consist of more than one show, same as the Brussels release. Hampton '81 might get that treatment, as others have mentioned, but if I were the Stones I WOULD NOT release the Hampton '81 shows in the Bootleg series. It's one of the best pro-shot Stones concerts, and I'd save it for a dvd release ala Some Girls L

I always thought it was about the women the Stones left behind......Marianne, Anita, etc...probably more....by the late '70's/early '80's, drugs had taken their toll on both Marianne and Anita and their looks had really suffered....I figured that was the source of the "look at your face now baby" lines amoung others. One of my favorites BTW. Love the lyrics.
