Quotemccparty He took this one - one of best pics of the Glimmer Twins: Agree. This photo captures the essence of who and what the Stones were during the 1968-1972 segment of their illustrious arc.

Good comments. But I don't agree with "...with every member dumping on each other." A definitive documentary on the Stones wouldn't, and shouldn't resort to that kind of crap.

I have a difficult time getting through CB. My first impression was "what a drag that this is all a person who had complete access could come up with." I still feel that way.

I like the way it started to tell the story, but when it got

Sweet Virginia is right up there with the studio versions of Brown Sugar and Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler (Brussels), and (you pick one) the Stones' Chuck Berry covers, as an example of why the Stones are the Greatest Rock & Roll Band In The World.

I've always believed rock & roll was meant to be something you shake your ass to. Not something you intellectualize. Exile is a great album. That being said, Exile is the result of the Stones hanging out for a summer in one of the planet's most desirable locations, in a luxurious mansion, with plenty of drugs, friends, and other pleasantries at arms length, and 'recording&#
