How very sad. Garth “the teacher” is gone. The Band was special and Garth played a massive role in coloring their sound. He always came off as a gentle soft spoken person. Strangely, Monday night, Music From Big Pink just came into my head while playing some records so I put it on! No idea, Garth had been terminally ill. Garth and his band mates left us with some serious musical treasures.Thank y

I have an OPPO BDP-105 multi-player, and it has been a solid performer. SACD's play great in either 2 channel or multi-channel 5.1 depending on the source. The OPPO player was a great audio/video investment, and while I had an older Sony SACD multi disc changer back when the Stones SACD's came out, that one ceased to operate eventually and I went for the OPPO. Highly recommended unit f

Quoterollmops On doing "Drift Away"; it may have been too soon and too big (the song was a smash Hit in 1973) to cover it. Usually the Stones cover obscure songs (Red rooster, Time is on my side etc...) or songs that were popular long time ago like Harlem Shuffle(1963/ 1986). But that should not tarnished the musical achievement. Drift Away by the Stones has great guitar arrangments, a

QuoteGasLightStreet The best Jumpin' Jack Flash (in print) ever. Criminal that they overdubbed new vocals to be similar to the studio version for GYYYO. Too bad ABKCO didn't release a live album (soundtrack) of this. Superb. Why they didn't put this version on GYYYO still baffles me. It is soooo much better than what they used for the album with the vocal overdubs. Firs

Apart from the fact that the movie is absurdly awful(don't waste your time or money to watch), the soundtrack and album that was released is really very good. Some lively sessions! I bought it when it was released, and it still resonates. When I was first dating my eventual wife back in 1982, some songs from this album took to her heart on a mix tape I made for her.

Thanks TravellinMan for the download link. Much appreciated, and a fine addition to the original release.

Terrific album! Bought it when it was released. The story behind it is very interesting. Give Pete credit for being a very good friend to Ronnie in a time of need. I believe Glyn Johns gives a good accounting of how it all went down in his autobiography which is also a great read.

A triumphant release. The Stones were still quite relevant, and this album was very enthusiastically received. Start Me Up was the song of that summer. No doubt about it!

I'd say this film is a must watch for Stones fans. What an insane life Anita had. It is really amazing how she lasted as long as she did considering the lifestyle she and Keith shared for so many years. Since I am roughly 10 years younger than Anita and Keith, I grew up a Stones fan since I was 11. The Stones were bigger than life, and the people in their lives like Anita and Marianne were s

I thought then, and still think they should have given Ronnie a turn at the mike to do a number from his 2 solo albums, but hey it's 48 years later and this still hasn't happened.

QuoteTaylor1 Maybe because the1975 set was so long that Mick needed a breather and because Billy was a pretty big star in his own right.Didn’t the whole band minus Mick back him up on one of the 2songs. Yes, The Rolling Stones were Billy's backing band for two songs.

Are there copyright issues pertaining to this documentary that would keep it from being re-released and put on DVD or Blu-ray? I still have this on VHS from back when it was released. As many have commented, I would agree 25/5 was/is the finest documentary on the Stones to date. My youngest daughters were 3-4 years old when it was released and they watched it over and over again.

Wonderful. Even the grainy footage does not detract from the power of where the band was at, and where the music was heading as this tour progressed. While I thought they kicked ass in Chicago where I saw them in 69, as Mick said" we really didn't get it on until Detroit". Please release more music/video from this tour, while we are still alive to enjoy it!!
