I have always regretted that even after the end of a tour fans never get to learn which songs they rehearsed besides those actually performed during the tour. For me it is always exciting which songs they play & try even if it is clear from the start they they will not be played because the band doesn't think they will work. For that reason I have always appreciated tapes from rehears

They could have done some shows only with rarities (not necessarily only acoustic) in a small club or maybe even on the Montreux Jazz Festival years ago if they would have liked the idea and rehearsed properly. And surely a live album would have sold well. But obviously they never thought about it, and now it's too late. Shadows of the evening crawl across the years...

Only some days ago a friend sent me a set of great pictures from the concert at Olympiastadion München (Munich) on 10 June 1982. But even if I asked him for permission to publish it on iorr I would not know how to do it.

QuoteSilver Dagger Quotemarcovandereijk Was Fool to cry the first song ever that Mick played an instrument on on stage? (Not counting the harmonica and all sorts of percussions, of course). Almost certainly. I know that he played a guitar at some Danish gig rehearsal in 1970 but 99 per cent sure the string synth was his first live instrument. No, he also played guitar during the 1975 TOTA

In these few minutes everything is said about Mick Taylor. Keith makes a wise statement here, and I think that everything he says is true. I once saw Mick Taylor in concert at a small club, and he played masterfully but somehow with no direction. He needs other musicians to hold up against him to bring out the best he can do. Personally he ist a rather shy but very friendly and intelligent person

Tour of Europe 1973 - boxset for the 50th anniversary? Wouldn't it be great if the Rolling Stones would release a boxset with additional recordings of the lgendars 1973 Tour of Europe? At least the shows at London WEmvbley Empire, Brighton, Newcastle, and probably Essen were recorded so there's plenty of material to make a great boxset. Although the setlist are rather identical th

Almost exactly 50 years after the event I rediscovered the audience recordings of the Honolulu shows back in 1973 on January 21 and 22. Therese are very informal concerts, with Mick Jagger singing very relaxed. And it is really amazing how he is saving a missed harmonica intro to Sweet Virginia on the first concert.

As it was all over the press, Pink Floyd has released many live recordings from 1972 to prevent them from fallin into public domain. Why don't the Rolling Stones do this? Does that mean that they have lost the right s on the 1972 live recordings? And/or can we hope that tehy will release live recordings of their greatest tours of all - 1973 throughout? Just asking...

What makes you so sure they did not speak to Alexis Korner at that period? He probably saw in which state Brian was, and he kmnew about him being fired. Was he opposed to it? We can't ask him, he aready died in 1984. But he was oneof the kindest people I ever got to know.

Quotejahisnotdead I still regard Mick's conversation with Elton John about Madonna in "Being Mick" as one of the most revealing when it comes to set lists.

And when the Stones play a stadium, they want people jazzed up to the max from beginning to end. So the setlist
