Following 2 pictures by Tony Sanchez from his book Up and Down With The Rolling Stones. Anyone know the approximate date and what session it might be? Looks like either 1967 or 1968.

Quotedeadegad QuoteNo Expectations Quotewhitem8 Well it just seems very strange to invest to much time and emotion to continue a rant about how much you hate something. As a psychologist, hate is a manifestation of depression, and other issues. And to continually harang and spew venom about something you hate is a sad commentary about the person. It would be far more productive mentally and emot

QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteRedhotcarpet QuoteHis Majesty QuoteRedhotcarpet Isnt Citadel in some ways the Stones answer to Sgt Pepper, the opening track, and Hendrix? Not a rip off or anything like that, just an attempt at the harder heavier style. They already did such stuff before Hendrix or Pepper. Yeah ok but still, before the riffs were single note riffs. Mostly. And Citadel is a heav

QuoteStoneage Why didn't they keep Ernie Watts in the band. He did not only play his parts perfectly, he also covered for constant bum notes from the dynamic duo. It's Ernie that makes Hampton so good. If it was his baldness that worried them they could have given him a wig too. Who else in the band did they give a wig to?

Quote24FPS I guess the hardest thing to explain to a hard core Dead Head is that I truly don't like the sound of the band. And I truly am not impressed by Jerry's guitar playing. Think of it as starting at point zero, and everytime I hear Dead music, or someone tries to show me with some song how wrong my ears must be, it pushes my Dead Mind backwards into deeper and deeper negative ter

Quotemtaylor "I am sure they ask Chuck Leavell if he is available. They need him to keep the show running." Unfortunately - wished he was less "visible" onstage. If things were falling into place for the tour and then they found out Chuck would not be available for 18 months, what do you think the Stones would/should do? If Mick and Charlie both said lets wait but Kei

QuoteSilver Dagger Doxa is correct in his analysis. The song has real atmosphere, an other worldly eeriness that actually pervades the whole album. This is what always made TSMR so fascinating for me, especially as a kid when I first saw the cover with all its myriad colours, and totally spaced out images. It's a musical science fiction fantasy - with lyrics borne right out of Forbidden P

Quoteflilflam I think it is terrible. That era, with the ridiculous garb and attempts to copy the sounds of the Beatles' Sergeant Pepper, is the lost era of the Stones, as far as I am concerned. I can only snicker when I force myself to listen to it. I counted 3 chords in the entire song. Oh well, to each his own. Then I won't ask what you think about Gomper!

Quote24FPS Why are there so many Grateful Dead threads on this Rolling Stones blog? People get crap when they post Beatles threads, and that was a good band.
