I don´t know how to place a video here, but of course you know (and love) the official live video from 1978. During Ronnie´s solo, around 3.05, Keith starts to play a short, repeated riff. This is one of the coolest things, he has ever done live on stage. Simple, but 100 % effective!! Priest

Maybe they have ENOUGH material, but what about the quality? WAY and WOAF are true classics. Without songs of that caliber a release of old material wouldn´t make sense. Mick will NEVER allow a new album with old, but just average songs! Priest

Because the whole song is INTENSE. The lyrics, the melody line, the guitar playing, the arrangement, everything is intense, right in your face. I think, the somg writing and the recording was a real FLOW. Priest

QuoteNasty Habits This has turned in to the best post ever! Maybe the theme of the next tour should be based around the 1792 era, that would just be amazing! just imagine some of their stage outfits. This tour will be the final highlight for Chuck! Disguised as The Pathfinder "Natty Bumppo" he can play his saloon piano as loud as possible! ;-) Priest

In 1792 they didn´t have a B-stage. But they played a mini set on a boat, crossing the Delaware river. The crowd on the river bank went nuts! Priest

Quote24FPS I think I could handle it now. I realize that they're never going to vary the setlist much and that I've heard the warhorses more than enough times. They won't dig deep into their past, so, what's the point? I have finally gotten to to where I don't want to hear Sympathy For The Devil live again. But even if they didn't play it, they wouldn't put in something interesting like Moonlight

One of the most fascinating gigs ever. Now we know them for 50 years, but this is the baby-version of our band: they are popular for maybe 18 months. And the “baby-version“ is capable to pull off a show like this!! They don´t know anything about their future... In 1964 there are no monster hit singles (Satisfaction, GOOMC etc) drug busts “Big Four“ Altamont Ope

The Stones wearing theirs suits on stage... what a lovely idea... For I Wanna Be Your Man they could welcome two special guests: Paul and Ringo (wearing suits!). Ringo could do the lead vokal, sharing the mic with Mick. Paul could handle the bass and do the call/response backing vokal. Man, that would be the final symbiosis of The Fab Two and the Stones.

I think it´s almost impossible to rate these new songs without the context of an album. G&D and OMS are no Mid-60s-Monster-Singles and they are not part of a song sequence on a regular CD. In fact, to my ears they come out of nowhere. I bet, OMS would have done fine as an album closer – better than It Must Be Hell. Priest

Since 2007 I read most of those “Can Keith still do it?“-threads. I read them almost every day, every week, every month.... all over the years. It took me dozens of hours to read all those threads.

Came home from work, made a routine check on iorr – and I couldn´t believe my eyes. Still can´t. The last HURRAY of the Geatest Band On Earth is named “Grrr“. A bad joke? Saw them 6 times since 1990 and in the end I was tired on their safety-first autopilot on stage. So I didn´t go to see them in Cologne 2006. Now I wish them back on autopilot – one last time!!

Right now, I´m listening to the extended version of SHE WAS HOT (6´50). It´s a marvellous piece of music, a fantastic combination of Stones magic and 80s style. But what about the origin of that long version. I don´t know anything. Is it played by the Stones themselves, live in studio? Or is it a "remix", done by Mick, any producer or studio engineer? Thanks! Pries

To me, this video this promo is one of the key moments in the band´s history. I like it much better than the coloured promo with make up. Maybe the music is pre-recorded, but I bet, it was recorded live in studio.
