There could be some more Stones recordings: we shouldn't get our hopes up, but here goes: "(Was, who produced two new songs on the GRRR! Rolling Stones hits package released last year, says the band is playing "the best I've ever heard them. They're more present, more focused." He hasn't recorded any more new songs with the band "though I know they've got more."

Anaheim ? That's where most of Overtures & Beginners, the worst-ever live album, by The Faces was recorded. I also think most of Dylan & The Dead comes from an Anaheim gig.

I've just been listening to Solomon Burke's Don't give Up On Me, and feel Joe Henry may be a better candidate to do a stripped-down Stones album. Rudy Copeland could also replace Chuck Leavell on keyboards. However, post Don't Give Up On Me, Solomon deployed Don Was as a producer, though.

I don't think I've experienced a train-wreck re: the Stones. I did though with Bob Dylan in 1991 at Hammersmith: he was terrible. Van Morrison, 1994, at Oxford Apollo was also dreadful, but not a train-wreck, just laziness.

There's only one track I'd excise: Sweet Black Angel. I'd probably excise more off the White Album by the Beatles than Exile.

I have never taken stupefants at any gig: I just like being in control too much. I was offered amyl nitrate by a couple at Reading Rock, in 1995, when Neil Young and Pearl Jam played there. I did smoke a spliff when I heard that Jerry Garcia died, and the last bit of weed I did was when I got my first class degree from uni. I felt I could relax my brain after all them Latin translations, and G

CDs should be released of the archive recordings, as there's no produce this year, and it would be great to have nice liner notes, be it Nick Kent on Brussels Affair, Ronnie Wood on LA Friday, Ian McLagan on Hampton 1981, Chuck Leavell on Roundhay Park, 1982, or whoever.

QuoteGRNRBITW Quotestonesrule Sorry to disagree Seitan but I can't quite believe that you have seen many white or black blues singers live in concert. If Eric Burdon and Tom Waits were on the same concert bill, Burdon would blow Waits away. eric and i appreciate this... Burdon is amazing, and his work with War is absolutely brilliant. I also love Winds of Change and the post 1966 Animals,

Best ever guest: though, I wonder why they mixed him so far down on Harlem Shuffle and Sleep Tonight on Dirty Work ? Keith could have done Shenandoah, That Feel, and Blind Love as duet spots too. You cannot beat Tom Waits.

Ella Fitzgerald covered Savoy Truffle, and it was awful: she also swung Can't Buy Me Love, and it was excellent. My favourite Beatles cover(s): McElmore Avenue by Booker T & The MGs.

Just clocked it on youtube, and I would have to say that Tom Waits and Florence Welch were the best guests the Stones have had on with this tour. I'd rank them as good as Malcolm and Angus from AC/DC, if not better.

If Keith doesn't have an IPOD, and is still into CDs, then why the Hell doesn't he motion that the Stonesarchive gigs be on CD, as opposed to download ? I hate the CDRs that I have of them, as I'd love to read the liner notes, and the sessionographies etc.

I can think of a song called "Onomatopoeia" by John Prine. Some of the chorus ran as "Crash went the window, bang went the pistol, ouch went the sonovagun. Onomatopoeia, I don't wanna see ya, speaking in a foreign tongue". I can think, too, of some oxymorons: Earth Angel by The Penguins, and Ugly Beauty by Thelonius Monk spring to mind.
