Well that's a very generous offer! & one that I would be very grateful for, if that offer was aimed at me. It's by far the best audience recording from '69, but it's such a shame there are 'glitches' with the recording.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm still non the wiser though. I have heard the 'Swinging Pig' version & that is the same, or very similar to the digipack version I mentioned. The Vinyl Gang disc I mentioned has FAR better sound, but, as I said it's incomplete & has some 'drop-out'. The beginning of 'Midnight Rambler' is also missing.

Hi to all my new friends!. I now have 2 versions of this show on cd. I have a European 'digipack' which seems to have the full show, but suffers from distortion (especially on the vocals) & the 'Vinyl Gang' release 'It's No Hanging Matter' which has San Diego as disc 1. This version has great sound, but is incomplete & suffers from 'drop-out'

I don't own ,four flicks', as I don't own a dvd player. After a long 'lay-off' it was this album that got my interest in the Stones back!. I bought this & the last 'Manic Street Preachers' album on the same day (same release day). After being very unimpressed with the 'Manics' album, I put on 'Live Licks' & thought "shit!- this b

Obviously I don't know Macca, but I think I 'know' him well enough to safely say that- i don't believe a word of this is true. I mean- he does exactly what the Stones are doing- filling stadiums to play ancient material. If he did say it, maybe he was pissed (ie: Drunk)- he's been having a hard time recently after-all, with that gold-digging bitch!

Make no mistake- I LOVE the Stones, but- (OK shoot me!)- I agree with him. The 'Bigger Bang' album is great, but why these huge tours?. The performances have been dreadful 90% of the time. Blues artists could tap their feet on a porch until they were 80, but you can't be an 'energised' rock act at that age. It just makes them look foolish.

I tried to read every post, but gave up after a while. The speculation just goes round & round & round.......... I am a trained nurse (though not a doctor). However, I am familiar with the procedure Keith has had & really, it's not that big a deal!. The more worrying aspect is if Keith has stopped drinking. No doubt he would have had to in Hospital (& any withdrawal would hav

Hi all, I've provided a link below to an Ebay item that I've seen before, that has me completely baffled!. We all know that there was no touring between '82 & '89, but a gig in 1985?. Does anyone know anything about this?. Thanks in advance for any help.
Forum: Tell Me

I must admit that when I heard the earlier shows from the tour, I thought many of the performances were pretty awful. And then- after the gig in Houston in December, they seemed to be hitting their stride. Some GREAT performances since then. As far as 'let downs' are concerned, don't forget the 2 hour waits for the band to even show up in the mid-'70's!.Also, I can

Of course people (including myself) are disappointed, but I agree that being pissed-off with Keith is incredibly selfish. What would you rather have- a postponement, or no more Stones?- 'cos believe me, when Keith goes that WILL be the end of the band. Part of what makes us love Keith is the fact that he doesn't give a **** about what people think he should or should not be doing. I

I just received the 'D & C' versions of the Tokyo Dome shows. They are SUPERB REAL soundboard. You just hear the core band (no backing singers etc) & IMO this makes these releases far better. They are crystal clear & it's great to hear the band without all the 'embellishments'.

Well- I know I'm new here, so I have to show a modicum of respect, but if you go to StonesNews.com there IS now info on there from RELIABLE news sources that KEITH IS FINE, so- I wish everyone would shut the **** up about this issue now!

I know it's not from the Stones 'peak', but I'd personally like to hear some (or ALL) the 20-something tracks that Keith said were recorded in Paris in 2002 (the sessions that produced 'Don't Stop'). Or even better- an official 'Tattoo You' type official new album (not right now obviously) assembled from various forgotten or unfinished gems that are

I've owned my US vintage '52 reissue telecaster for approx 10 years & it's a beauty. It's one of my main instruments. Over the years Fender has tried to make these reissues more & more accurate- therefore, the neck on the current reissue is quite fat. Mine has a very slim neck (which I like), but no original '52 would have had a slim neck. Tele's are pretty
