QuoteStonedRambler Surprised barely one talks about Havana Moon. Sure performance wise it won't keep up with concerts when they were younger but the film is absolutely stunning. It's one of the best concert films ever made IMHO. And they never seemed to have so much fun playing together. I regret not seeing Havana Moon at the cinema in my hometown. It was shown one night only. Tickets

Midnight Rambler on the b-stage from San Jose 1999 is really good. Bangalore 2003 version is also nice (included in great quality on the fan club dvd). As for earlier versions I like the Wembley 1973 soundboard. Studio version is a bit stale.

Quoteslewan 'Get Yer Ya-Yas Out' – I just don't get what people see in it! That record just sounds bad, muffled sound etc. True, it sounds dated and lacks punch. I think it's often praised because of sentimental value. "Stripped" and "No Security" features tighter playing in perfect sound quality but are overlooked by fans.

I just wonder if the oversaturation of all these vinyl releases will diminish the collectors value in the future. A sealed No Security vinyl is now worth 10x more than you paid for it in 1998. But I doubt a sealed "Licked Live" will be worth much more than today's retail price in the future.

The Stones is one of the few bands to have played the Super Bowl without any backing tracks, that in itself makes me a proud fan, here's Eddie Trunk talking about it a few years ago:

QuoteTheBlockbuster QuoteRocktiludrop Don't know about that but Micks vocals definitely sound overdubbed. Yes, Mick's vocals was definitely overdubbed for some songs on the Austin 2006 concert. Just listen to Satisfaction: Funny how at 2:57 his real live vocals briefly comes back, and then at 3:01 it's overdubbed again. It's a bit of a Frankenstein project.

I think Keith when he was younger would have tried to tune the string while the song was going, or tried not to hit it while playing, but at his age I think it's understandable if he just keeps on playing like nothing happened. Nowadays most guitarists have a tuner pedal on their pedalboard, so they can mute their guitar briefly while tuning it. But Keith is old-school and doesn't

Quotewaterrats As for accidents - these things just happen. As for last night's gig - Keith's guitar should have been re-checked just before they came to play PIB. It's really out of tune. But then again: such things just happen. I guess Keith has now forgotten how to tune his own guitar "that's someone else's job!".

In 2012 when they played their first shows, the reactions were very positive on here, it was the initial thrill of seeing them again I guess. Then in 2013 there was a bit more criticism, even though the performances were pretty much on the same level. My initial reaction in 2012 was that Keith played better compared to some of the 2007 shows, but the tempos were slowed down and Mick's voice

It's fortunate that Steve Jordan does so well but... suppose you go to look at a vintage steam locomotive but it's not being fired up and only pushed forward by an electric one.

They should retire Start me Up from the setlist. Mick's voice always sound tired on it and the swing is missing without Charlie.
Forum: Tell Me

It's a bit distasteful to compare Charlie's drumming at 78 years old with Steve's drumming and say things like "Steve brings so much energy to the band!". Charlie wasn't at his best ever during the last few years but he still did his best to keep up. I will always love the sound Charlie brought to the Stones much more than anything else.

Yes Keith is a different person than 2019, actually his playing is better than ever, these concerts are the best since 1969.

The magic and unique sound is gone without Charlie. The current line-up is still good, but I don't get the same buzz from it.

Great job editing the videos together. Sounds like some EQ was done to the shattered78 tape. Most times I prefer just to hear the original tape.

Quotejumpingjackflash5 QuoteRaiseTheKnife Charlie adapted the tempo a bit more to follow how Keith played, while Steve kind of forces up the tempo no matter what. Seems like many people want them to play faster. Right, right. Charlie was (mainly) following Keith, whereas now Mr. Jordan drives the tempo and the others catch up, they do well, but the sound has changed also because of this. Alwa

QuoteEasterMan If you're in a smaller venue I think you should record the whole show with your phone. Would've loved to seen phone recordings of Echoplex 2013 or Kraft Show 2016. Or the upcoming Kraft Show. Yes if any real Stones fans gets to see the Kraft show, they should record it! Even if that means discreetly recording the audio with your phone at waist level.
