Re: the "not a very good live band" observation - that's putting it politely. ![]() I always thought the Stones (like Led Zeppelin) made great-sounding records but sounded like a garage band live most of the time. |

Studiowise, I still think Tattoo You was the last true great one....everything since has been spotty. If I had to choose, I'd take Keith's solo album Main Offender over anything the Stones have put out in the last 27 years that wasn't a compilation. |

![]() The Doors The End from Toronto TV 1967....best footage I've seen yet of the early Doors. Check out Kreiger's fingernails, that'd drive me nuts (I'd use a pick anyday)...love Densmore's playing on this as well.

When I was 14, I was in a band that played high school dances and socials, and "Live With Me" and "Midnight Rambler" (the GYYYO versions) were part of our set list. Quote:
Great record. It's amazing how almost all of the songs on that record are outtakes from previous recording sessions. |

![]() I don't know I'd go that far, but there's definitely some influence, and I'm sure that only increased when they started playing together regularly. I don't have much trouble telling which is which though, and enjoy both.

![]() Thanks. That's what it felt like - we were lucky to see a couple good performances.

Seriously, the only other decent live Stones material I've heard other than Ya Ya's was the stuff on the Rock 'N' Roll Circus soundtrack and a song here and there on Love You Live. Every damn one of the live albums other than Ya - Ya's sounds and feels like going thru the motions ripoff....pretty cheesy for the supposedly greatest rock 'n' roll band of all time if you ask me. |

"world's greatest garage band"? I dunno about that....I know a few I'd take over them live...quite a few actually. Garage bands are usually raw and have abundant energy in a live setting, it's been many a moon since the Stones were either live. |

![]() One of the most memorable concerts I ever went to. BB King and the Ike and Tina Turner Review opened (which was great in itself). Then there was some kind of equipment malfunction that went on for an hour or more. The place started getting a little out of control. Finally, the Stones come on stage with the signature couple of guitar thumps in the dark by Keith. Then Mick takes the mike and says, "It took so long to get out here so we're going to stay a while." When we came out of the Forum, the sun was breaking on the horizon. They were playing old stuff too, from the first couple of albums. Stuff I've never heard them do before or since. I'm a Stones freak. If they came to the states, I saw them. But if they come again I'll pass. That last tour they were phoning it in. They were great back in the day though. Definitely the best shows I've ever seen (except maybe for The Who at the Long Beach Auditorium). Definitely up in the top two.
Actually, a couple of buddies of mine followed that tour up to Altamont Speedway. Glad I passed on that one. ![]() Last edited by Rohirrim; 07-24-2008 at 11:49 AM.. |

Wasn't GHS the last record Mick Taylor played on? Can't argue with you on the energy point. When I said "garage band" I was thinking about how sloppy the Stones' live shows could be. That sort of thing always bothered me about Led Zeppelin's live show too (especially when the monkey on Page's back turned into an 800 lb. gorilla.) I loved both bands' records, though. |

I believe Mick Taylor's last Stones album was It's Only Rock 'N' Roll...a much improved affair, but like Black And Blue after it, rather bland save for the excursions into reggae that later turned into the disco of "Miss You" & "Emotional Rescue"...Yeech. Quote:
