The best 1976 tape : a warm upclose SB! The performance is not as good as the Paris ones but it's very enjoyable nonetheless. Thx for the FLACs!!!

Good evening, I was wodnering if someone had in his/her collection this one, which offers our hero's Toronto March 77 piano sessions in best possible quality... Much better than the previous version (on Greengrass Record) which was frankly a stinker (I know I had it!) Try listen to this music and not be moved to tears...

Now that the story is old we can speak the truth : OBR's version of this fantastic gig was simply HORRIBLE. What was described as vg/exc. was in fact g+ at best. Their version was hissy and prone to overload even at moderate volume... Glad I sold my green OBR digipack eons ago... ;-) and thanks for the VGP upgrade!

Many many thanks to you Mr Snow! I tried to track down this one on Dime Zomb & TTD. And of course it was on Hunger... PS : a bunch of extra thx for all the rare Cds you decided to rip and share. 90% of the torrented Stones boots stem from YOU so kudos to you ;-)

Hello, I was wondering if a kind soul would share this show with us... either from "L.A. Fog" (VGP) or from ""Love You Live Los Angeles" (DAC). It's an exceptional performance and I'm sure it would please many IORRers ;-) Thx!

A million thanks to you for the FLACs for these 2 "golden age" shows. Am I wrong or is the 1969 11 26 CD made from TWO tapes : - the well-known exc. recording that appeared previously on "Live In Washington" (sic) on Moonlight - a g/vg tape that starts at 4.48-4.49 of "Love In Vain"?

Good news but why not have them open for the Stones in Paris since they blossomed there. So we can skip the terminnaly shitty opening acts of the last 27 years (Gun 1990 Bon Jovi (gulp) 1995 Stereophonics 2003 Razorlight 2007... nuff said). C'mon Keith you owe your French fans one!

"That's why mick taylor is gone too" Yes but he NEVER wrote anything of value be it inside the Stones or outside. His "best" songwriting effort "Time Waits For No One" has this horribly dated 70's sound with endless soloing à la Peter Frampton. MT was just great at embellishing stuff written by the Twins... very much like Bill Wyman!

"He's a sucky photographer. He was just in the right place at the right time" Agree. He certainly ain't in the "Jim Marshall" league. May he choke on his newly-acquired wealth.

If you look at the bare facts (650 units for an edition of 2600 copies) and think about how the photo-book business works in general you quickly realize this one is a giant rip-off : there is just no way a "limited" edition of 2600 copies of a title will be worth one day the asked retail price. In the "art-book" world 650$ is a common price... for a book that comes with an

C'mon C.W. was so out of it during the 1985 sessions that he once fell off his drum stool... K.R. told him sth like "hey you're playing MY part, pal".

He cleaned up his act because his daughter asked him to : he started to look like "Dracula" and he was "scaring her" (quotes from a 1995 RS interview). Steve Jordan held most of the drumming chores for "Dirty Work". He hits the snare VERY hard so it's easy to tell whether C.W. played on certain trax or not...

There might be NEW things coming from the R.Frank side coming to us soon since CS Blues will be OFFICIALLY released newt Spring. Along with a new Frank-endorsed transfert (yum!) we'll get about 25 minutes of Super-8 material Frank shot during the 72 Tour.

Correction... please read "this trick used to work 15 years *ago*" One more thing : The 1992 ‘A Celebration Of The Blues’ live tracks that were on a CD-single were not shabby either (thanks to Gary Moore). These songs (or better the complete MJ appearence should have been on this CD.

The disappointing sales figures reflect the quality of the sampler i.e. it is rather poor. Putting out a CD made at 95% of well-known material spiced-up with 5% of new stuff (availbale for ages on boots in COMPARABLE quality) show the people who manufactured it are living in the past : this trick used to work 15 years but in 2007 it doesn't anymore.

RE "Infidels" Bob himself decided to leave out of the final album edit the best tracks.
