QuoteRip This folks want rare tracks...then the Stones play them...and finally there is criticism that it pales in comparison...they can't win for trying....some people are never satisfied. Can't you see that there is not a contradiction between those views - to want to hear a certain track, and then to judge how the version manages in Stones universe? Or do you just fancy on complaining other

DandelionPowderman tends to critizise the "hard rocking" versions of 1972/73 to lack some of the "swing" or "groove", and I as often tend to protest that, but I think his description is true in the case of "Rocks Off" during Taylor days. Some of the "roll" element is lost. In modern versions they try to do more homage to that element, but I think

I think EXILE bonus has stronger individual tracks (a true gem: "Plundered My Soul", but SOME GIRLS bonus works better as a whole - its standard is higher over-all. Both are great reminders of the greatness of the band - and I can't recall when I have been so thrilled for having a new Stones tune to go crazy aboout as I did with "Plundered My Soul". I hope there is more vaults

Hello! The original version of "Rocks Off" is for me about the finest recorded pieces of The Rolling Stones caught in studio - its feel, the roll, the groove, the loosiness, the magical sloppiness, the production, the assemblage of tracks, instruments, noises, played by top inspired players - and Jagger's edgy vocals icing the cake. It captures the live feeling so wonderfully that I

QuoteKoen This is an official RS video. Not sure if I should laugh or cry... Oh god... looks like someone from their crew is trying to sapotage their tour... or the guy(s) in responsible for that are huge Taylor fans and do their best to view Keith and Ronnie in so bad light as possible... - Doxa

My prediction is that if that "lost" performance of "Love In Vain" with Mick Taylor turns out to be the only performance of the song, it will be a holy grail in future for bootleg fans. - Doxa

Quotedimtim My vote goes to Love in Vain at Echoplex w Mick Taylor. That completely blew me away. Honmstly I am so jealous for you... But since I haven't got a possibilty to see/hear that in any form, my vote, surprisingly, goes for...... MIDNIGHT RAMBLER (any show), and by a huuuuge mile. - Doxa

Thanks. A nice article; interesting quotes by interesting not so obvious people (besides Patti Smith, but I always love her take on the Stones.) Also the list of examples is done with a good taste (even though neglecting all the post-EXILE stuff.) I agree with that "Stray Cat Blues" description - it could be that none any other Keith contribution has made me so big impression as that on

Sonomastone, I see you have a point, but still it is just speculation (which is alright per se!). But I wouldn't count too much on the claims of that Daily Mail article. The credibility of it has been refuted here many times. - Doxa

"Waitin' On A Friend" has always been one of my favourite Stones ballads, and it expresses feelings that are rather unique in Stones vocabulary. Mature man's music. Nice to see it performed, and a fine version! - Doxa

Dammit that "Midnight Rambler" works me every time. Amazing version, once again. Both Micks on fire. Taylor started it calmly, but shit when he got into, he was just flying. One never knows how he plays it this time, but great it always is. I wonder does he ever think "I'm gonna do that and that this time", or is it just improvising, emerging from the heat of the moment?

Quotebv Don't under-estimate the crowd. I am pretty sure everybody do know who Mick Taylor is. This is a good point. Maybe not everybody, but I think the days when The Stones were Mick Jagger and the rest, or Jagger and Richards and the rest are basically over. That was the time when they were filling up the stadiums with more reasonable prices, which I think is translated that there were more

QuoteHis Majesty It's usually Taylor Vs Wood, but it's interesting that the Jones era usually seems to get left out of such heated debates.
