Agree. The "he quit yearago" thing is stupid,but, likewise, The Stones without Keith on stage is unthinkable.

Quotecrumbling_mice I think we would all agree that Keith, whilst having flashes of his old self, is finding the touring hard. He is still having those moments where he seems to just blank out in songs and loses his way. Very similar to the major issue he had on stage following the surgery. Maybe the way forward is to switch the role Taylor currently ha with Keith if they are intending to to

I can not blame him at his age with odd ailments for tiring of touring. I do wonder, however, rather like with The Stones future, would he do a series of 'residencies?' For example : a run of shows for a week or two in a single city like London and New York? Fans would have to travel to him rather than Clapton having to travel to them. He could announce a series of residencies wo

Quotefahthree Quotedeadegad The Kiss Of Life boot is from Sacramento and is very good -- performance, sound qaulity and production. . I guess it is not the night Mick got sick. That's the same show. I could swear he really starts to struggle, voice-wise, by the end of the show. I have not listened too this for a very long time. I'll dig it out and listen.

Quotestonehearted ^ He did comment after the Cream shows what "hard work" it was being back in a trio, having to "stretch" himself again, and he did play more dynamically and with greater animated movement on stage, performing, as he was, with peers of equal caliber. Playing with 'peers,' or musicans as good as or better makes a difference. Over the years I have r

For a later in career, but, very good small role, watch Mystic River with Eli as a liquor shop owner. He has a great line: "Scarier than a glass of milk!" Keith R concurs! Remember that picture of Keith looking at a glass of milk?

Two thing which were great about this tour were the setlist surprises like Moonlight Mile and Some Girls live became a sing along. What took them so long to play SG live?

QuoteSighunt IMHO It's Only Rock and Roll (and to a certain extent Goats Head Soup) are typically underrated compared to what preceded these albums (ie the classic four-Beggars, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile) as they are often compared to those albums by the critics out there, but taken on their own-IT's Only Rock and Roll and Goats Head both got some great tunes that any lesser

It's funny, but, I always loved the record version of IORR more than the live version. I alwys wondered why they could not pullit off in concert? The best live version of IORR was played by The Foo Fighters with Jagger on vocals -- of course.

Quotedcba I just dug out the excellent NYC 1971-09-03 show and one thing that strikes me is that the Page/Plant complicity onstage sounds kinda fake. Like two ambitious men who understood the money they could make out of their business partnership. It's well-known Page hired Plant for their 1st US trek (late 68 - early 69) because he hadn't found anybody and he badly needed someone.

Have you seen the Elvis Comeback television special from 1968? Well at one point during it Elvis just sits around with his band and plays the guitar and makes some funny self deprecating commnets here and there. Now that was good music!

I was thinking about watching this show next so I am grateful for all of the positive feedback here. While there many very good shows out there, among the newer ones entering their second season, both Americans and Vikings are well worth your time. My two cents.

QuoteCarnaby Many people have a bad opinion of that tour, and I believe it is due to this movie, when in fact it was a very good tour with the most ideal line up of players in the band as the world has to offer. Their performance definetly got better in 81 as did the sound although it still had issues. I cannot speak to the Europe 82 leg regarding sound but I do enjoy some boots from 82.

QuoteDandelionPowderman What comes out of the speakers, you think? Firstly, the mics capture the sound from the amps, then the sound is picked up by the board and finally the mix comes out from the speakers. The difference is that you'll only hear the sound signals, and not the air nor the audience in the soundscape of the soundboard recording. Most of the 81 recordings are dry mono
