That's because the 60 concerts are a big deal and a joy to be at, especially at a time when much of the world is falling apart/in flames/at war/et al et al, and the band are playing fantastic gigs, stuffed with fantastic songs from a wonderful epoch of popular music that is almost over and will not be experienced again, and they are nearing the end of a very long road, an end that is clearly

Quotekeefriffhards QuoteEasterMan I look at Ronnie's solos as if he's creating a small piece of art every time. He always comes up with something new and interesting even if it's not always great. He could play the same well rehearsed note for note solo every night if he wanted to, but that's not his style. Go and listen to Kiss if you want that kind of playing. Id normally

There hasn't been an It's Only Rock n Roll deluxe has there, though some sessions ended up on Goat. Is there much more? As for Black and Blue, that would be fantastic. Especially if they include the long instrumental version of Munich Hilton. Anyone know who exactly is playing on this? And when? video:

When they started up CYHMK, it sounded great, it focused every set of ears there, and kept em focused. It was really good to hear at the time, It may not repay repeated listening as a recording on a phone in a crosswind in a park, which make it very different from what was recorded in a studio 50 years ago, but WTF.

No, as i said in the above post, it's not about just being positive, but at times there's level of relentless negativity that is often then repeated time and again that is really sapping, and doesnt really have a place, to my mind, on a fan board like this, where generally people come cos they really like the Stones, Nuff said...!

Fantastic gig, great audience, great band. CYSMK was a real surprise and pulled off brilliantly - really powerful and the Latin biug was good - I really like Karl D's work, he's no Bobby Keys and never was, nor is meant to be - just different. Same with the angularity of Ronnie and Keith's lead work. So it's not flowy and mellifluous like taylor - it's doing totally diffe
