It was 1972 and I was 10. My 15 yr old brother just saw the Stones on Dick Cavett and was in awe( much to the distress of Mom). My brother borrowed THRU THE PAST DARKLY off my cousins. I heard Street Fighting Man and was overcome by the roughness, and rawness of it. The Partridge Family albums and the Osmond records were given to friends within a week. I was hooked. And boy did I love the Partrid

yes, the Eagles started it but Streisand and the Stones took it to a another level.

Can no longer find it listed on Amazon.com. The only one they list is an expensive Japanese import. It is still being released in Europe in the next week. Is there a new date for the U.S. for the dvd?

It would be great if it were El Mocambo, or Brixton 95. Im hoping it will be something great but am prepared to be extremely disappointed

The reason for only 4 shows is simple and a win-win for the band 1. Four shows is to see if they can actually do it with Keith. If for whatever reason they feel they cant do anymore, they went out as a live act with millions in their pockets for not much work. 2. If they do cut it live( which I think they will) they can set up shows for 2013 3. IF and When they announce 2013 shows, peop

My first show was the opening September 25 in Philly. Was about 20 feet from the stage. I was also lucky enough to see them 3rd row on November 9th, the first show in Hartford.

To me it sounds like Tallahasee Lassie with a little Rough Justice mixed in. Maybe in my old age, my ears are getting a little too waxy

Check Youtube and search for Rolling Stones on SIXTY MINUTES. IT was a segment they did on them back in 1994

I still think if they had chosen SAINT OF ME as the lead single off BTB, it would have been huge. A good lead off single always propels great sales, and further interest in other cuts. While having the lead off single as a dud i.e. ANYBODY SEEN MY BABY, it pretty much kills the enthusiasm from the mainstream for giving other tracks a try IMHO. I think they made big mistakes on their lead off sing

How can you have a real favorite because they have made tons of great ballads. To me, favorites change depending on your mood for the day. Stones ballads are like fine wine, and what your palate craves for that day.

It was just classic. I remember reading the article about Wyman in Rolling Stone and they mentioned Waiting On A Friend so I assumed that was going to be the first single. A couple of weeks later, WBCN in Boston announced " we will have the new Stones single tomorrow". Kept my ears pealed and around 10:30am the next day, they played it. This song took off incredibly quick. It was every

I have often wondered if this was the actual project Keith was working on with Steve Jordan. I still have my doubts that a Winos album has been in the works.
