The first time I heard it I thought it sounds like the Stones doing the Clash doing reggae. It reminds me too much of Sandinista!

I would pick some of those songs along with a selection of warhorses to keep the masses happy. A show that is 80-90% warhorses is like the movie Groundhog Day. Been there, done that.

Keith also made an appearance with Faces on the late-Friday night NBC music show Midnight Special (that came on after Johnny Carson) in early '75. It was a special edition of the show that featured just one band--I can't recall any other time that they did that-- that was taped in a studio. Basically Faces did their live show. It was only shown one time--this pre-dates VCRs, ki

At this point, No Mick = No Stones. If however, (for example, only) Mick had been shot and killed at Altamont, it would have ended the band. Then. And by now, (like The Doors and Queen) the rest of the guys would do the unthinkable and re-form with another front man. (Possibly with Wyman AND Taylor!) It's crazy to speculate on such things. While Keith may be The Man, Mick IS th

I see where they've finally got around to releasing the original Nick Lowe-produced version of "The Wait," (which was the b-side of their first release, "Stop Your Sobbing") on the new Pretenders Pirate Radio box set. The song was re-recorded for their first album produced by Chris Thomas.(and is good, too) But that original version just KICKS. They played it on KRO

I love this song. Full of classic Stones swagger and attitude, and a great groove. Like something out of the Sticky Fingers/Exile era. I didn't think they had it in 'em to do a song like this again. This song would just kill in concert. Even though it's new, it has great singalong potential! Put a warhorse to pasture and play this one, guys.

I was just listening to an album today, "Instrumental Gems of the 60's" that has a lot of pre-Beatles/non-rock and roll songs like "Alley Cat" "Calcutta" etc. that are a window not just to a different musical world, but a different world, period. My parents weren't into rock and roll. My mom loved Dean Martin. They used to watch Laurence Welk every wee

"The Beatles" as written on Ringo's drum...wasn't used on an album until Live at the BBC....also the Apple Corp. logo is pretty strong. (and was later copied I hear) Yardbirds had a great one. Not a band to mention in hip musical circles, but Chicago has probably got the most successful logo in rock history. Nobody knew or cared who was in the group, but that darned log

Fats is GREAT! More people need to listen to his music. The guy made so many great great records. Got to see him live on a double bill with Rick Nelson about 20 years ago...the show was taped for a video. I never saw the tape, so I don't know how well they came to capturing it. It was an incredible night...like Mardi Gras...lot of celebs came out for that one...Randy Newman, John Fo

That's hardly the end of the discussion. If someone wants to stand--and no one else in that area behind them is standing--then it's up to them to either: 1. sit down. or 2. move to an area in the venue where they can stand and not block anyone's way. I would never stand if people around me were asking me to sit down. Even if I wanted to. You know why? Because it's

Lady Jane is one of their best. The instrumental portion in the middle just too beautiful for words. Every time I hear it my heart is touched in ways I can't understand. To quote Percy Sledge, "it tears me up."

I and everybody around me stood during the Forum show...and everybody sat during This Place is Empty...then back up again for Happy and the rest of the show. Sitting for that song was a nice break for me, and I was hardly the oldest person there. Standing for the slow songs is pointless.

"New York Dolls" seems like it ought to be more than just David and Syl (come to think of it, Syl was in David's band in '78 when he toured with his first solo album, and I saw them...so I SAW THE DOLLS!!! Not really.), but by today's standards (The Who, etc.) it's probably enough for some people. Since Johnny was Keith to David's Mick, I am amazed that an

1966 was the bridge between fun and heavy music, and a lot of artists traveled in both directions. By '69 rock took itself way too seriously.
