Quotefrankotero I was thinking of the big price difference too. Doesn't make sense. Maybe there's a sticker or something exclusive to them. Curious. just the usual "game" - at first they set up fantasy prices and after a while the prices are being reduced (even before the actual release date)

without touching health issues: I'll guess they will do shows as long Mick Jagger's solo efforts remain unsuccessful and as long as they'll find thousands of people are willing to spend a hell lot of money to see them "for a very last time"

nothing comes close to Bob Dylan's bootleg series besides that: I'm fine with the original version of Exile. The new additional CD is quite enjoyable – although I'd never trade any of the original cuts with any of the songs of the new stuff (although the alternate take of All Down The Line that was exclusively released by amazon is really great)

QuoteMr.D I wonder what is on the Amazon Exclusive Edition that isn't on the others? Less than two months to find out! most likely nothing important – since the running time for the DVDs is exactly the same (437 min) as everywhere else. Thus it's maybe a download code for just one more song (like the alternate take of All Down The Line that came with amazon's version of Exile)

as I said before: financial investments is a key factor. Imagine how many songs Jagger/Richards must write to catch up with someone who had invested $ 1.000.000 in let's say Apple in 1998 or in Microsoft in the early 80s?

Wealth is created by income minus spending. Thus the basic question is: What generates income? In the case of the members the Rolling Stones it is work, doing shows, making and selling records, merchandise (if you really can call this work), revenues from royalties and – not to be forgotten – revenues form financial investments. The biggest difference between the income of the individual band

Quotegeorgelicks Sorry but the Stones are a jamming band nowadays: Midnight Rambler: 15-17 minutes Miss You, Satisfaction, YCAGWYW, Gimme Shelter, SFTD, Brown Sugar: 8-10 minutes Sometimes no one is playing even a riff, just waving the crowd with singalongs and dance steps, it's a different kind of jam than on previous tours, less work and effort. right – prolonging a song is not jamm

Quotefrankotero Historically they hold back on giving a full, complete, un-cut release. So in their defense I have to say this is a step forward. wait and see if/how much they edited those performances (added and/or replaced guitar parts, re-done vocals, re-mixed etc etc – like so often or even always)
