but some interesting material none the less

Interesting...

What about Street Fighting Man, with its giant acoustic guitar and great walloping drumbeat?

“That was done with a tiny little drum kit, a toy drum kit, and Keith Richards playing acoustic guitar into an old cassette recorder. We used to experiment with a lot of things like that, then we tried it in the studio and overdubbed the bass drum. In fact, I think the bass drum was played by Dave Mason, the guitarist from Traffic.

Funny how these little bits of info come out, even decades later. I wish Dave would open up and talk about his contributions to Beggars Banquet.

"We’ve been lucky that we’ve been able to afford the time to do that, because most people are in the studio for the day and out again,” he reflects. As a case in point, his ABC&D outfit are about to release a live album recorded on a loose-change budget at the Duc des Lombards club in Paris. “There’s no mixing or anything,” he says. “It’s called cheap.”

I'll be getting that - I wonder if that's the same night that was broadcast on French radio?

THERE AIN'T GONNA BE A TOUR.

Interesting. Thanks for the link.

Charlie: "I don’t think Led Zeppelin had the heart to carry on without John Bonham. John was so much a part of that sound. I don’t know if you ever stood near them onstage, but it was a hell of a bloody sound.” Oh, come on, Charlie, I think most people have stood next to Zeppelin on stage!

(P.S. Why do people LOOOOVE to proclaim there won't be tours? People posted that before the last two tours. I think at a minimum the Stones'll do a residence somewhere, like Rod Stewart's been doing recently at the Colosseum in Las Vegas—where I saw him last year and he was fantastic. I guess people love to imagine themselves oracles of Delphi)

is charlie gonna play the states or not?
