QuoteDoxa As far as production goes, I think UNDERCOVER is not very cohesive album: some of it very contemporary, the Stones most radically using the sounds of the day - "Undercover Of The Night", "Too Much Blood" and to an extent "Feel On Baby" - but the rest of - the bulk of it, that is - is pretty traditional Pathe Marconi stuff, the Stones actually sounding dat

QuoteEleanor Rigby Do we know what this song is all about? Maybe it's someone in love with an Escort? Let it loose... I think Keith wrote that, actually. That's a very weird, difficult song. I had a whole other set of lyrics to it, but they got lost by the wayside. I don't think that song has any semblance of meaning. It's one of those rambling songs. I didn't reall

QuoteGazza The Stones played literally 29 concerts in 1969. Five of them were filmed professionally for broadcast or cinematic release. Detroit, 3 times MSG, West Palm Beach, Altamont, London. At least 7 shows were (partially) filmed professionally. Oakland was reportedly filmed by Bill Graham. Mathijs

Part of this show was on the vinyl Idle Mind LP 'Charlie Watts and his Fabulous Rolling Stones, '1975 Tour of the Americas Part Two'. The quality is somewhat better than this version. I have always considered this the best show of the LA shows -Heartbreaker, with that fantastic jam-intro, is fantastic, and Fingerprint File is the best ever version, with a fantastic Keith and ho

Still in my top five of Stones albums. Fantastic energy, last album they still had that combination of danger, drugs and sex around them. The writing is fantastic, the lyrics are fantastic, the singing is fantastic, the playing is fantastic. The production always was a bit dated, but for the last couple of years it has aged quite well. The production of Hackney Diamonds is closer to Under

Quotestanlove Weak boring song as expected. It’s cringe to me that the Beatles could just never let go of the past. Go to a McCartney concert and chances are you will see video references to the Beatles throughout his concert. It’s been 50 years. They were all like that to. They also all had the need to constantly tell you ever little thought they have about Beatles to. When one dies the others a

Quotetreaclefingers Well I'm not jumping on the conspiracy thing here, but even Chanel lost her Broadway job to sing ONE SHOW on a Stones tour.

Quoteroundnround There is no conspiracy here. When the Stones came to Los Angeles to record last November, Darryl Jones was on a tour in Europe with Niels Lan Doky and his jazz group. This was a commitment made long in advance and could not be changed. The Stones wanted Darryl to play on the record but it wasn't possible.

QuoteMisterO He seems like such a nice person. I don't see why he is disliked by some? I don't think anyone dislikes the individual Chuck Leavell, especially as nobody here knows him personally.
