Very cool to be able to watch such a great rendition of Sympathy from that tour. Killer version. The band is really tight and those guitars just soar. The Stones had found their groove. Everything just flows. I can never get too much of the 69 tour. The Stones indeed certainly did get it on in Detroit! More please?

QuoteRollingFreak I've never actually thought about it that way, but yeah it really is like the Kinks Beggars Banquet. Its an absolutely phenomenal album. I think I rediscovered it when they put out a deluxe box version of it a few years ago. But 20th Century Man is a great rocker, one I rediscovered when I saw Ray Davies like 15 years ago and he did a cracking version of it. He also did a g

My feeling is that if John had said no, it would likely not have gone down the way it di

The Get Back 3 part documentary is essential viewing for any serious fan of The Beatles. All three parts need to be watched to understand how the project, people involved, and the songs evolved into a final product. We were able to see songs created more or less from beginning to end. The band searching to develop the music towards a conclusion. While I thought part one was a little bit plodd

As a Doors fan from the early years on I was so excited to see them play at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago Feb of 1970. This was on the heels of seeing the Stones in November for the first time which was for me at 16 the pinnacle of all concerts I had been able to go to. The Doors were touring off the Morrison Hotel album I recall, and the setlist had some great songs off that record. Keep in

Sarah could belt out vocals with the best of them. She was a real asset for the Keith and the Winos during both of Keith's tours, as well as the in the studio for the recording of TIC and MO. Another punch in the gut for Keith, losing Charlie first, and now Sarah so shortly after. RIP Sarah.

Speaking of Charlie, I rode down in an elevator with him in Boston at the Four Seasons when they opened there for the 2005 tour. I had friends staying at the hotel and they invited me over for drinks. Another funny story that one… anyway as I left the room to go back to my hotel I pushed the button on the elevator to go down to the lobby. The door opens and there standing with his granddaughter w

While I wasn't at the Olympia show, the video certainly brought back great memories of what went down on that 69 tour which remains my favorite. It was all so fresh and exciting given the fact they had not played for a few years, Brian had passed, and tracks from LIB were being presented prior to the album being released. I still marvel at how incredible it was that the Stones had this feel

The 75 tour was more in the entertainment vein than previous tours. Lotus stage, inflatable phallus etc. Music though was really good, although I did not like Billy Preston getting the spotlight. It was unusual at that time to see the Rolling Stones as a backing band for another front man. Ronnie filled in admirably. Both Chicago Stadium shows I attended were excellent as was the Ft Collins Colo

Ironically, I spun this album last night along with Long Player. A most excellent debut album to launch this band on vinyl. I strongly recommend purchasing the 2015 box set Faces 1970-1975: You Can Make Me Dance You Can Make Me Sing Or Anything where First Step is included. The CD set sounds really good and the vinyl simply superb that was remastered by Kevin Gray from original analog flat master
