Quoteblivet I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I was a teenager back when it was released, and despite it being a huge hit, to this day I have never once heard it on the radio. Where were you? I was in the midwest of the States in fall '73. At the time I was working in a warehouse. They had a radio on all the time. Heard Angie about every hour. Also remember Grand Funk'

Quotepmk251 The show is notable because following The Beatles lead the band announced that this was its last live show...ever. Too bad. I thought they had a future. And of course it's Brian's last live American appearance. I know the group came back to New York for the Satanics album cover shoot in '67. Not sure if Brian ever came back to the states afterwards.

Stadiums, at least in the U.S. are getting bigger and bigger. The Stones, at their live peak (money wise) in the late 80s, early 90s, could sell them out for week long stretches. Yes, they will be surpassed money wise and attendance wise, but they set those standards to begin with. That they were able to do so for so long is most admirable. For Taylor Swift to be mentioned alongside them is rare

Quoteironbelly Quotesotob If "Artisan pressing" are considered top shelf I wonder that version was not released on CD or re-released on vinyl for mass market purchase instead of these other "types"? Because vinyl and CDDA are different formats. Analogue vs. digital. Because vinyl pressings depend on many factors. Most probably they just can not reproduce conditions to clone

As for whether the Exile SACD (which I didn't know existed) or Exile Blu Ray sounds better, isn't the Blu Ray disc able to handle more information, and therefore might be a bit better?

If you can ever find the Blu Ray version at a decent price, get it. I heard Blu Ray Let It Bleed isn't that great. But Blu Ray Exile is fantastic.

Huge hit in the States. A ballad after some hard rocking singles. One of those rare songs that stops you in your tracks. It really sounded like he was singing about the end of the band. The whole album did.

They could have moved about the same number by not promoting it at all. I was at one of the very few big record stores left in America, Amoeba in Hollywood. It was depressing. What is being sold is up front as vinyl. I'm always interested in new concert DVDs, of which there are very, very few being released these days. It has to be for sales depression, because we know the vaults ain't

They could move some new album units but they'd have to do a lot of promotion. Late night chat shows. Maybe Mick hosting SNL again. These things are impossible right now with the writer's strike.

Maybe the vinyl fad has passed. They'll have to come out as 78RPM shellacs to get attention for people buying the same old songs. (And four 'new' clunkers).

Nobody. Can't afford them any longer. Or at least there's no one to see with Jeff Beck gone. I wanted to see Lucinda Williams at the Ford in L.A., but even that small venue is a couple hundred bucks. I think the highest I ever paid was $225 in '99 for the Stones. That was worth it to see them close up at least once.

I've always considered a terrible recording. Isn't it from an AM radio broadcast? The vocals are shouted instead of sung because they don't have fold back monitors yet. Maybe new technology could do something with it.

Three tracks with decent bass players, sounds good. Would be interesting to hear Paul play on a Charlie track, and a Jordan track. Same with Bill, but I assume he's only on a Charlie track.

I don't think there's anything left to know. He only lived to 27. He is not only the greatest rock guitarist, he is the genre's greatest musician. He is one of the few rock musicians to transcend rock and be considered one of the greatest musicians ever, period. He is up there with Buddy Rich and Charlie Parker.

How come this gig is never mentioned for the Vault? An El Mocambo type recording in a small club prior to their '81 USA tour? Surely they recorded it. Morgan Cove was after El Mocambo. They must have learned their lesson from that one and recorded it right. An interesting set list with a few oldies covers. What's not to like? Does anyone know if they video recorded it?

If you haven't dug deep into Michael Bloomfield, the boxset 'From His Head to His Heart to His Hands' is a great place to start. Then pick up the individual recordings with Paul Butterfield, Al Kooper, and various solo albums. Bloomfield is a strange genius. Hard to pin down. Very chameleon like. For my ears I couldn't hear a cut and say, 'That's Michael Bloomfield&#

QuoteBlueranger Btw. Bill Wyman, as great as he was for the band, was sometimes playing very uninspired as well. Sometimes so uninspired that one wondered if the guy was even interested in being there. And sometimes he played some horrible out-of-tune bass-lines as well. But I guess he gets a pass because he was an original Stone. Right? Not to my ears. There were times he didn't 'com
