I love Ya Ya's.......I think it's one of the great live albums in rock history. However, I think it would have been better if they had waited and recorded it on the 1970 European tour. I said that once before on this forum and got some fairly heated responses for such heresy, but I do think it would have been better. The band was tighter, it was Mick Taylor's second tour with th

I haven't been hanging around here much lately so I apologize if this has been discussed thoroughly.......but is there any indication whether or not the Stones plan to release anymore shows in their From the Vault series?

Quotebanditpanda Happy to find this thread. In 1969 at MSG Keith hadn't found Tele's yet and I'm not sure if he had discovered open G at that time. If that is the case for the opening song of the set, Jumping Jack Flash, for which I'm not yet sure of he was using the Dan Armstrong or a Les Paul did he play in standard tuning or open E or Open G with capo at 4th? He was defi

QuoteMathijs The story that they just made up the instrumental part on the spot is just folklore of course. The change to Dminor, the chording and especialy the end riff all are very much worked through and arranged. Mathijs I've always had that suspicion myself. The last section (less possibly there was alot of overdubbing done) had to be worked out in advance.

They threw away the acoustic Sweet Virginia on the European Tour, and also the songs Keith shined on...Bitch and Bye Bye Johnny.

I remember reading one review online from a show on the '73 European tour that was pretty negative. Can't remember where it was from. I don't think any recordings from that particular show exist (that circulate anyway) but I do remember the reviewer saying Taylor was "useless as a pillar of salt", whatever that means.

Duane Allman has obviously gotten alot of mentions here, and understandably so but I think Duane, as great as he was, was just scratching the surface of his talents. I think Derek Trucks is better in alot of ways than Duane simply because Duane died so young. I think Derek took what Duane started to another place. Trucks is unbelieveable. I think he's so eclectic that sometimes people don

I've seen print that gives Bobby Whitlock the credit for the piano coda at the end of "Layla" but it is indeed Jim Gordon as others have mentioned. He was a tremendous drummer. Clapton himself says that the Carl Radle/Jim Gordon rhythm section was his favorite. I think he went on to say something like "when people say Jim Gordon was the greatest rock drummer that ever

Clapton played with Lennon at a show(maybe a couple of shows) in London in '69. I guess they were Plastic Ono Band shows. Not sure if that was before or after the Toronto thing.

It's been a long time since I've listened to these recordings. I once listened to the entire '73 Winter tour starting with the Nicaragua Benefit (although I know it probably wasn't technically part of the tour) on through the final Sydney show in chronological order and took notes about the shows. As I remember it, the band were in good form in Hawaii. There was supposed to

Well most people consider "technique" (in respect to guitar playing) to be the actual mechanics of a guitarist's playing. Picking techniques, vibrato, fret hand technique, whatever...
