QuoteThe Joker The live version featuring Eric Clapton at Madison Square Garden in 1975 is also dreadful, and this time Mick Jagger is singing so off-rhythm during the verses it almost hurts.

For me it was out of the question that at least the forthcoming US tour will not be canceled becaus of Charlie passing. Remember, it's a million dollar business not only for the band but also for the promoters, stadium operators, merchandise and food stores, etc. In these difficult times it seems important to go on out of respect to those who depend on the tour business. And Charlie knew abo

For me, collecting bootleg LPs back in the late 1970s was exciting non only because of the unreleased live recordings you were able to listen to (although the sound quality was sometimes horrible!) but also for the artwork and creativity on the covers. Some bootleg titles were really special, and among the best are those refering to Charlie: CHARLIE WATTS LIVE AT LEEDS (Leeds 1981, with a g

Every artist is aging and losing much of his flexibility, that's a natural process. Originally, rock music was the music of young people for young people. Nobody ever thought that the stars woukd still be performing in their 70s and even 80s. It is not nostalgia if you find the old recordings much better than the newer ones. As a rock singer, in your 20s to 40s you can sing with a lightness

QuoteTheflyingDutchman Quotesaltoftheearth If they invited Mick Taylor and made him part of the band they would still have four original members on stage. Mick Taylor is not an original member. He replaced Brian Jones. Funny to see now that the Stones have a black rhythm section. If you are that critical about it let's tate that he is former member, and he would be more fitting than so

Turning back to the thread I must say that I learned a lot. I Always thought the 1975 tour to be mediocre, to say the least. But now I listened to the first concerts of the tour, and they are really very good. For instance, they could have released a double album of the Boston shows, selecting the best version of each song from both Shows. Later on, it deteriorated, mainly by Mick's growling

Black Limousine might be the exception though. It sounded pretty good. Agreed. 1981 was their worst tour ever. They just basically butchered their own songs for 2 hours.

You probably cannot overestimate the importance of bootlegs for a band's Image back in the 1970s. It was far more valuable than the losses in royalties they had to suffer. Imagine rock music without bootlegs… downright depressing….

I think it's quite normal that you listen to a tape and think the sond could sound better. This is the creative process. Don't you think that any band member was 'corrected' sometimes?
