I think Ray Davies is playing Mark Knopfler's 1937 14-fret National Style "O" Resonator featured on the cover of Brothers In Arms in the video for 'Do It Again'. Even though 'Do It Again' was released before Brothers In Arms, I have to wonder if that's Mark's guitar. Yet Mark first used the guitar on 'Romeo and Juliet'. Anytime I se

I don't have a Top 100 favorite Stones tracks. I must say this is the greatest live version of 'Before They Make Me Run'. Keith flailing around and playing the guitar down to the ground puts the song in a genre itself called 'pirate rock'.

The 1985 Sting live album and film Bring On the Night are excellent. Darryl appears in the film as part of The Dream of the Blue Turtles touring band. Between 1985-1988 is the only period in Sting's solo career that he didn't play bass live. I'm not including The Police 1986 Amnesty International Conspiracy Of Hope concerts, where Sting played bass with the band.
