On Sunday 21st April the Sunday Times will publish its full annual musicians Rich List which shows that Jagger is worth £200,000,000 (yes £200 million UK pounds) and Richards is worth £185,000,000 (yes thats £185 million UK pounds). They have given millions of people such pleasure, escape and memories over the years and have worked hard for that money, so good luck to them they fully deser

5th July 1969 Hyde Park concert : Stones finances = dire but concert entry = free. 6th July 2013 Hyde Park concert : Stones finances = like pigs in shit but concert entry = only the skin off your back.

In a fantastic career spanning 50 years, my opinion is that the Stones (Jagger?) have made their first huge mistake in the way the 50th anniversary has been handled and the way their archive is being released. For the first time I think that they have misread their market and as a result are ending their career by undermining a part of their legacy. One way to recover from this, in my opini

Quote24FPS You wonder who writes the stuff. It's like you feel the hand of Mick controlling even the history of the band. Read around all the bio stuff and they leave the impression that it was Mick and Keith who had the idea for a band, and Brian and the others were some talented guys they ran into and took into their group. I haven't found a mention on there of Brian and Stu having they idea fo

At Coventry March 6th 1971 they did 2 shows. Same setlist each show except they added "Prodigal Son" in 2nd show. Recording of 1st show is circulating but in very poor quality. They included Dead Flowers, Bitch & Brown Sugar from Sticky Fingers but not CYHMK.

Forum: Tell Me

To not release a 60s live recording (or 60s out-takes) for a 50th anniversary release this year is not only illogical but would deny them a large chunk of income, because I believe that a large part of the Stones buying public remains their sixties fan base. People who truely grew up with them and who, today, have some buying power at their disposal. That's what I think.............for what it

I would like to throw these thoughts into the pot ; 1. Just because Jagger says he learnt harp from Cyril Davies does not exclude that he learnt from Brian too. Afterall they were living in the same flat! and it is just inconceivable that if they were starting a band together they wouldn't have shared their musical knowledge and skills. In the early sixties in London the world was a lot differ

I went to see The Blues Band before Xmas on 7th December at a small venue, the weather was bad and the place wasn't full so the atmosphere was very relaxed and during the interval got talking with the band, particularly Paul Jones. He's now 69 but looks in better shape than Jagger and I'm not exaggerating. For those who don't know he is the singer in the Blues Band, in the sixties he sang with

Thank you to all of you who responded to my thread. However, you all missed the point. My post refers not to WHICH concerts might be released but to the plan the Stones are now following. Because one thing is for sure..........the Stones know exactly how to play the marketing/media game and make money, so they must have a long term strategy for their archive material which is only just startin

With 5 more archive releases due in the 50th anniversary year, could it be one for each decade ?? One each for the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s ?? That would be sublime.

I am curious about exactly how much Brian contributed to what we hear on three studio tracks. 1. Did Brian choose to play recorder on Ruby Tuesday and make up the recorder tune himself? Or would Keith or Mick give him the already written recorder part and say "play that"?? 2. Did Brian decide to play slide on "No Expectations" and compose the slide tune himself or did Ke

As "withsssoul" says..........."DiscoVolante" you must be young. Unfortunately anyone who did not live in the UK between 1961 and 1969 cannot possibly imagine the impact both the Stones and Beatles had within the UK. It was not just music and fashion, it included their attitude, what they said in the media, their accents on the BBC, their humour, their unwillingness to c

Stones performed two shows at Coventry on 6th March 1971 and I went to both shows. Prodigal Son was played at 2nd show only, definitely not at the first show. As far as I know, the 2nd show has never surfaced.
