QuoteCooltoplady QuoteBig Al I wonder if this person used the mono mix, or the original, 1968 stereo-mix of Jumpin’ Jack Flash as the source. I ask, as I do notice that on their page, they’re seemingly remixing mono-only tracks: Come On, Carol, etc. It hasn’t been remixed. As I stated before it just been re EQ d.

QuoteStoneage I don't get this, in my view opportunistic, idea that the band always make the right choices, that playing the same songs all over again keeping out almost all new material after 1972 is a wise decision by Jagger et al and that it is stupid and impudent by fans to ask for anything else. Nobody, at least not me, actually did this. Applauding each and every move of the band and

Quote24FPS QuoteGasLightStreet Quote24FPS QuoteMathijs Quote24FPS QuoteGasLightStreet Quote24FPS Expanding on what Doxa said, it is a pity that El Mocambo wasn't released in total, in place of Love You Live. LYL is what started the whole 'Vegas' Stones talk. It felt contrived, and lacked excitement. El Mocambo brought them back to that compressed feeling of being on a small stage.

QuoteElmo Lewis I don't know if it's the small room or what, but the El Mocambo stuff sounds great. The performances are excellent too. Vegas Stones started with Steel Wheels tour. The difference between 81 and 89 was vast. Both great in their own way - for example, Ruby Tuesday would have been butchered in 1981, while the sloppy energy of say, She's So Cold or T &

QuoteWitness Yes, Hairball, I suspect that is a good description of the perspectives for a possible new studio album during the remainder of the band's existence.
