Quotehot stuff 1st time they played Sftd in the USA since 1969..They talked about it all over the news. They dropped it in the states after Altamont. The Stones tour in 72 of America didn't include Sftd..Hence 1st time it was played in the USA Since 1969. yeah, but there's a dozen songs that haven't been played for years in the US after the 1969 tour....People really see too much in it.

QuoteSilver Dagger QuoteMathijs Quotehot stuff 75 was very exciting. At least in the USA.. 1st time they did Sftd since 69. They did SFTD on each and every 1970 show, and most 1971 shows as well. Mathijs I thought they only played SFTD once on the 71 UK tour - Newcastle 2nd show as an encore. Nobody knows, as there aren't any recordings. Best guess is that they played Sympathy until up

If Richards states he took it to the studio he obviously means the chords with melody and probably some lyrics. As the song is just three chords and only forms the foundation, so no melody by itself, he must have had some melody ready. It would be kinda awkward to present a strummed E and A chord to the band as a song, wouldn't it. Brian's slide in the end is nothing more than open E, A and D cho

QuoteMel Belli QuoteMathijs Actually, when an amp starts breaking up pushing the volume doesn't increase the volume anymore but only adds overdrive. So a volume/boost/drive pedal going into the pre-gain of an amp (so simply into the input) will not add volume when the pre-gain of the amp is overdriven already. If you want more volume you can put the volume pedal into the effects loop of the amp

QuoteThrylan My first love too.....This is funny, I had trouble with this one, but, tune a 6 string to open G, but leave the low E as is. Hit the open G, then walk up (E,G) on the 6th string. No idea how it was recorded,(Mathis question), but this is plausible, and allows having two guitars, one in G, one standard, to hit all the licks. You need the open E, A, and D strings in standard tuni

Quote71Tele QuoteDandelionPowderman Watching the Sway clip, and how Taylor desperately calls for a tech to turn up his amp prior to the solo, was a bit surprising. We know he has his pedal board, where he can adjust from rhythm sound (amp) to solo sound (his Blues Driver-pedal). Why isn't his amp- and pedal sound pre-adjusted, so he can just hit the pedal when he's ready to solo? He does

QuoteGreen Lady QuotePalace Revolution 2000 Sad to hear about his passing. Was wondering what had become of Babi Floyd. But the one thing these clips have done is reminded me of the wonderful band that Keith put together in the 90's. IMO - BY FAR - the best thing he has done in the last 20 years is the Winos, and those two albums, tours. The personalities, the band-ness of it all. Please do

I love Talk is Cheap, and it indeed ranks among the best the Stones have ever released. Only gripe I have with it is Steve Jordan's snare sound, which I find utterly horrible, even more so on Main Offender and the live stuff. Jagger's Wnadering Spirit is great as well -he did save the best tracks he wrote for himself and not to the Stones's Steel Wheels and VL. But best solo record by a S
