QuoteHis Majesty Horrible song, please don't! hot smiley It's an a-typical Stones song, but it's not horrible. Lyrically, it's one of the groups better efforts and the solo at the end ranks right up their with CYHMK. Still, I don't think it would come off well live. Although, the crowd doesn't seem to care what they play at these concerts. I wish someone would get that point across to Mick.

Quote JumpinJeppeFlash These MT threads are so pathetic. Get it, he is not a bandmember, he is a guest. Amongst Stones fans he's the most popular guest they've ever had, so it's not exactly pathetic to say we want more of him, but I see where you're coming from...it's a distraction to keep whining instead of enjoying the tour.

So daspy wants to share his recordings online and still retain control over how they're shared? That's totally unrealistic. Once the milk's out of the bottle, there's no use crying over it. If he wants to keep his recordings private, then he should keep them locked away in the basement like some weird art collector, but don't share them on torrent sites and expect to maintain control over how th

I love this mix. Crowd is audible, but not overpowering. It has a great balance of instruments with just a touch too much arena reverb. Great job buy the taper!

Quotecn854 Philly 1972, it will never get any better than this! Just to weigh in...I totally agree. The Amsterdam '95 version is great, but it's a diamond in the rough as far as post 1975 performances of this song. The 1972-73 Taylor versions were the best, with some real competition from 1975 versions.

I'm very excited that The Stones are back on the road, but I have to be honest, Mick Taylor on only 1 song is very annoying. Instead of merely billing the show as a 50th anniversary celebration, they should actually celebrate their history by allowing Taylor to play on a few more tunes from his tenure with the band, which if we're honest, was the period that produced the band's best output.

I disagree with the premise that a band can't put on a great show if there's tension or dislike among members. The Who put on great shows and they had a lot of tension. The GNR fan says, "like there were four different personalities..." that's The Who in their heyday.

Just watched in it's entirety. I have to say, the sound on here is better than the PPV Newark show. Hats off to all who put forth such an immense effort in synching the sound, gathering the multi-cam images, and just making all the footage flow. A true labor of love!

Thanks for offering to share it, Rolling On! I didn't even think of the audio issue. One new note, mine is actually the Joint Trip version, not Apocalypse Sound. If you can share either version here, that'd be awesome. If not, please drop me an email at laughingsam5576@yahoo.com

I have an incomplete version of this DVD. It's by Apocalypse Sound and has a lot of footage from the Paradiso '95 and Olympia '95. I just watched my half-version last night and was reminded of how great they played these shows. Does anyone have this or know where I can find it? I'll post it to The Stones Vault if I find it first. I think everyone should have this one.

I agree with you all who're saying the sound on the PPV special was lousy. My wife never got to see a Stones show, so I ordered it and figured that even if the band was mediocre or washed up, at least the sound should be great -- I even shelled out the extra $10 for HD! During the first few songs I constantly adjusted my system, figuring it was my system settings that made it sound so flat. "

I think people from England overstate Led Zep's success. They copped an array of American Blues and played it in a very powerful way, which makes them an unforgettable band. But greatest of alltime? Surely anyone aspiring to that title must create something completely original, something totally their own, which Led Zep never did. I don't like ranking music or judging art as better or worse, b

Forgive me for chiming in late, but I'm watching it on a delay. I thought The Stones were uninterested in putting anything memorable together for tonight's benefit.

Great thread! QuoteSilver Dagger This song is a Stones masterpiece and the one by which we now measure their live shows. It's also, when played live now, just about the last vestige of a bygone era, a spyglass peak into the great tours between 69 and 76 and a look at how their incredible rhythm section works. It's the song that allows the band to open the throttle, shift up a few gears and

Quotemickschix I couldn't care less about GAGA or Black Keyes... You may not care, but The Black Keys are a great choice. They're a blues band who cut their teeth on Fat Possum Records -- one of the best delta blues labels around -- The Stones are terrific at live blues. Plus Dan Auerbach can belt out gruff and guttural vocals that would stand perfectly alongside Mick's style ob blues #'s.
