I realize that this may sound weird, but every time I listen to this I want to hear horns on this track (thinking Beatles Savoy Truffle style horn lines). Still, love the energy on this one quite a bit.

This may be my favorite track on this album after 5 or so go-arounds with it. I love that they are going back to that pared down, country, acoustic sound, and they still can do it beautifully. So much feeling and emotion in this one. And the break towards the end followed by Mick's harp solo. Lovely! The D-C-G chord progression that this song employs is pretty common in rock and roll... S

Without an audience, I think it would be hard to get the energy level up to Stones levels for a live performance. However, I think something like the stripped sessions, or blue and lonesome tracks, could work, from a soundstage / studio.

It is my understanding that Portland Meadows is being redeveloped as condos, and is closed. Saw the Grateful Dead / Chuck Berry there back in '95, and a number of other shows, and it was hot, dusty, crowded and fun. We do have Providence Park in downtown Portland (Major League Soccer, or football as the rest of the world knows it) with a capacity of about 25k, but I don't think they

Thanks! Some cool stuff from '69... I'd love to have these in an official release, although a lot of the live stuff seems to be "bootleg" quality, and not multitrack soundboard recordings. But then again, maybe a Zappaesque "ban the boots" type release after all these years? Doesn't seem that likely. Weird that it would have the abkco copyright notice though...

I think the guitar driven live versions of Sympathy for the Devil from the '69/'70 and '75 tours are far superior to the post 1989 drum loop track / piano thing they do now.

Man, I don't know what it was, and it's all probably very subjective, but I feel like there was something very special in the air at the Seattle Show. While Keith doesn't play (technically) or move like he used to, he seemed so present and dialed into the music, and the energy he channeled was fantastic. I was at 1st night Chicago, as well as the first MetLife show, this summer, wh

QuoteHMS There will never be a better intro than the instrumental part of "Continental Swift". The mother of all intros - taylor-made. First time I saw the Stones, at the age of 16, was at Shea Stadium on the Steel Wheels tour. The moment in time when Continental Drift ended, the pyrotechnics went off, and Keith ripped into SMU is forever imprinted in my head. This stands out as one o

+1 for seeing these guys. I caught them last fall in Portland, OR, and the trio format really was a great vehicle for highlighting Weir's very unique style of guitar playing. Jay Lane was great of course, and I really was impressed with Don Was on the upright bass. Super tight, and lots of feeling... I had no idea he could play like that. Probably my favorite GD related show I saw since Jerr

I'm taking my oldest, who is 12, to the Seattle show. It'll be his first Stones show, and he is really psyched, and someday he'll consider himself very lucky to have seen these legends of Rock. I haven't taken him to any big stadium shows before (I think a show in a 50k+ seat venue requires a certain amount of self-sufficiency... in terms of being able to head to the restroom

Garcia said it best... “We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice.” Personally, I'm a fan, and am really grateful for the 40 times or so I got to see them live, but I know a lot of people whose musical judgement I (otherwise) consider to be very on-spot, who can't stand them. I accept and respect their opinion.

Sing This All Together (See What Happens) at the end of Side 1 of Satanic Majesties has always struck me as being quite a weird little drug inspired romp (especially Keith's licks around the 2:32 mark)...
