I saw the Stones perform "Sister Morphine" in Chicago in the 90's and the song did not go over well at all. It's was almost a solo vocal and Jagger just sounded like a wounded animal. They actually lost the crowd, people were not interested in Jagger moaning, They were talking among themselves and were completely tuned out. It was tied with Keith and Ronnie with Bob Dylan a

U2 in 1983 at the Palladium NYC. They were better known than they were in 1981 but still not famous. Very intense show with people on top of each other pushing to get closer to the stage. I had friends who worked in the Stagehands Local 1 who used to get us into a lot of show for free. At this U2 show I lost my car keys, so I waited for them to sweep the aisles. They swept everything toward th

The only thing that concerns me about his use of drugs would be for the many people he dragged down with him. Not just his inner circle but also his fans. He made the junky guitar player appear to be adventurous/glamorous ect,..In reality many people suffered as a direct result.

I remember Keith saying back in an eighties interview that he "Liked Culture Club and Big County" and IIRC the Stary Cats and someone else....Not to long after that I remember him saying (In playboy, I think) that he did not like Bruce and found his music pretenious, but he said it in a delicate way something along the lines of 'I hope I don't upset a lot of people' as if

I'll never the first time I heard it. I was given Exile as Christmas present and I had on a quality set of headphones. I felt like I just stuck oil. So, yes I agree. IMO the Stones could not make this one better live. The studio version just so amazing.

Quotedcba 99.9% OT but Japanese fans are the best in the world. Back in 95 (thru a friend) I obtained the address of a Japanese Stones fanatic living in Tokyo. Without ever seeing him I wrote him a letter and I sent him a rather large sum of money and weeks later I received a big parcel full of VGP or IMP bootlegs.

It's no coincidence that Bill was the first Stone to release a solo album of his own material. But it was obvious from his solo work that his music and Jagger/Richards compositions are much different. Jagger/Richards compostions had more depth with many timeless masterpieces like Paint it Black or Ruby Tuesday. Bills work was light hearted shtick. Whether or not he was playing it safe or was

Even if Keith or the Stones were to come out with something of amazing high quality such as much of their pre-1981 material, it would not have anywhere near the same impact as it did back then. The information age has watered just about all types of entertainment. The mystery is all but gone. It started with MTV videos to the laptops and smart phone of today. You don't have to get up and go

I was disappointed with Dirty Work as well. It seemed like they were doubling down on the violent theme of side 2 of Undercover. Too much blood, Pretty beat up, Too tough..and then they give us "Fight, Had it with you and One hit.... The Stones do not make convincing tough guys. Tough businessmen yes, hard partyers yes.

Opening night of the Steel Wheels tour in Philly back in 1989 the Lights and sound went out during Shattered which IIRC was the third song. It took quite a while come back on and perform. I would say it was a 15 to 20 minute delay which seemed like an eternity.
