Also the Beach boys are a great, great band but whilst I am a fan of the Byrds they are nowhere near Beatles standard

CSN&Y>Byrds

I reckon if The Stones had packed it in when Mick Taylor left, they would be held in higher esteem by people but I suppose that's open to conjecture.

There is some good stuff after Wood joined but certainly they could have put a fork in it when Wyman left

Dunno about better but yeah, top band.

Obsessed with the long, live versions of Midnight Rambler from about '69 at the moment.

 

Belter of a song.

Spent many a dark night listening to Exile on Main St. Excellent album.

I reckon the studio version is Charlie Watts' zenith as a drummer.

 

There's a great live (1971) version on the deluxe Sticky Fingers which came out 4/5 years back.

"Get Yer Ya Yas Out"?

 

I wore that cassette out as a kid.

Fucking hell how small are you?

Midnight rambler is one of those songs that has to be heard live. The album version just doesn’t do it justice. Mick is fucking mesmerising, greatest rock n roll song by a distance.

I saw the Stones a couple of years ago.  Mick Taylor came on unannounced and they played Midnight Rambler.  It scaled the heights.  Best song of the night, and it's not usually in my top 10.

 

Talking bout the Midnight...

 

Well have you heard about the Boston...

That's one of the ones i've been hammering. Got the year wrong, it's 71. One from The Roundhouse and one from Leeds.

Their tour has been cancelled due to health issues with Mick Jagger, I'm guessing it's pretty serious.

Hopefully he’s just stubbed his toe or summit.

I always remember my mum had a greatest hits album of theirs and I was fascinated by its octagonal cover when I was a kid-

 

 

I taped it when I was 11 or 12 and played the fucking thing to death over the next few years. This was my fave, brilliant stuff-

Listened to Keith Richards book a couple of months back. Fair to say he didn't like Brian Jones much

Life? What a book. 

 

I read it though. I'm not weird. 

[Lee909]

I listen to alot of audiobooks as they are handy for work and travelling. 

 

Wasn't the best done book though. Johnny Deep started the audio then they switch to some useless wannabe cockney half way through.

Brian Jones' grave is a few feet from my nan & grandad's over in Cheltenham.

 

Might nip over to visit them this weekend. His grave you can spot a mile away due to all the flowers left by stones fans.

 

One of my childhood memories wondering who the hell he was when there.

But yeah that would do my head in. Some of his stories are boss.

Living in Portsmouth we would go to West Witterings in the summer, the beach up there is amazing. Keith Richards lives down by there. Don't blame him either.
