I forgot about the promo videos. Yeah, like Licks, a cooperation with ABKCO so we can have all of them. With Dolby Atmos sound, and video upgraded with modern technology to Ultra High Definition. That's the only Greatest Hits package I want.

Obviously the Beatles. They hadn't toured since '66, and were still putting out hit records. The media attention alone would have been enormous. They might have pulled in another quarter million just on the strength of them being there. They could have previewed cuts from the soon to be released Abbey Road. It took the Beatles breakup for the Rolling Stones to really come into their own

Rehashing the 1964-1970 stuff is played out. Some of them weren't recorded all that great to begin with. Remember they didn't really have a competent producer until Jimmy Miller in 1968. I've got Through The Past Darkly on SHM CD. The cuts are clean, but not revelatory. Also most of the early hits on the ABKCO SACD's. I'm not sure there's enough THERE there to squeez

A complete 1969 show, cobbled together from the Maysles Brothers footage. Europe Tour '67, Brian's last shows. Knebworth/Paris/Wembley from '76. Any scraps will do. Odds and Ends, video and audio only.

They sound better compressed in a smaller venue. Like Sticky Fingers at the Fonda. I noticed Darryl was actually playing the real bass part to Street Fighting Man. Wonder what happened? Did Steve Jordan pull him aside and ask, "What have you been playing while the song is being performed all these years?"

Roll forever, live, but without me. It's the same show since 2002. Before that even if they were warhorses, they were played a little bit differently each tour. Brown Sugar in '72, sounded different in '75. And even more so in '78. Those little changes, owing to difference in band members, changing times, is almost twenty years in the rearview mirror. It's why, for me per

It's a great Stones song. So is Indian Girl. So is Miss You. Some people wake up gnashing their teeth, hating those songs so much. Or maybe Mick sounds too nasal now. Or whatever. They play it because it sounds great live, and it's only a handful of post-Wyman songs that are memorable. One of the only songs they play off of the three albums they've released in the past 30 years. No

RIP Billy. I don't really remember them as a viable band. More of a gimmick to wheel out on those 60s variety shows. (Which they did). I don't even remember a record by them that was popular.

Roll on. I won't go see them, I've seen the same act since 2002. (1999 being the last great tour). But as long as they want to, and people out there can pay the obscene price, why not? If you go to a present day Stones concert expecting great musicianship, at a high level, if your ears still function, you will be disappointed. This is long past the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the Wor

It appears this Austin go round had none of the magic of the Zilker Park concert. But I'm glad for those that enjoyed it. It seems more of a personal, than musical thing now. Those fans just want to hang out with these guys one more time. It's not really about the music any more. Those heights are long gone.

The '99 tour was so great, they were so hot from two solid years of touring stadiums, and then they played arenas on the No Security tour. That was special. I took a date to see the Licks Tour in Los Angeles, and it was a step down. It got worse with the Biggest Bang tour. Licks had a great setlist, they just didn't have enough to pull it off anymore.
