What Stones album are you listening to these days?
Jul 6^th, 2015 at 4:31pm

I'm listening to Voodoo Lounge. 1994. Great album and an even better tour.

Some things stand out on this:

Charlie is recorded very well. He sounds incredible.

Keith's solo on You Got Me Rocking is one of his best.

His playing on Thru and Thru is unlike what he did before. It's completely different and instantly just like him.

I like Darryl's grooves. I thought he was a good addition to the band in the studio and on the stage.

Oh God YES! I love the way Mick snarls right before Keith starts the solo, and it's just so freaking mean and dirty. I love the way the song ends too, gives it such a live feeling. I know I'm in the minority here but man I really, really dig the studio version of that song. May even go as far as saying it's up there with Bitch.

Sticky Fingers NEW. Exile, Keep Your Motor Running(otherwise known as The Lost Live Album, Philly, and Houston, 1972), Sonic Barbeque,(Jean Claude Memorial, Europe, Mostly Essen,1973), and Ladies & Gents, Baby Don't Do That, an updated version of the Ladies & Gent's sountrack. I'm doing an old fashioned audio cassette run of the best of 71, to 73, OCD. It's a hoorible affliction LOL.

From The Vault: The Marquee

Oh yeah! Forgot that. Very impressed. Wonderful restoration. I've long had a couple of boots,(DVD, video), but this is superb. I didn't really expect much, but I've been more than impressed. Checked out ordering the three disc Sticky, 200 quid!!!!!! Get fucked! Australia??? What a backwater. No wonder it's at the arsehole end of the planet, perfectly placed geographically to receive the the title of Rectus Pacificus. They didn't explore it in 1770, they stuck a probe up the coastlines looking for polyps. " No polyps Guv'" "OK!" Let's turn it into a penal colony.' It was felons who came here and it's still in the genes. Robbing it's people like there's no tomorrow.

200 quid! You must be 'aving a laugh! I didn't buy any of those deluxe Exile, Grrrr, or Charlie is My Darling box sets. Not because I couldn't, but because they were so damned over priced. Just out of curiosity; where have all the Brits on the board gone. And God! How I miss Sir Stonesalot. He had such an encyclopaedic, and eclectic knowledge of US, Brit' and even Australian music. Any American who listened to Died Pretty was on the ball, well and truly. We used to have some great online jousting, hilarious! Wherever you are my online American jousting friend, I sincerely hope things are well for you and yours. I sure do miss ya.

Oh, are u an Aussie? Or are you one of these people that think we all drink that cat-piss here?

Listen, it's a post, Don't be so bloody sensitive wherever u are from. None of this means a damn anyway. It's all opinions. And as Clint Eastwood so succinctly put it once, 'Opinions are like arseholes. Everybody has one.' So as I carefully sip on my Jack Daniels and dry I shall try to be as sycophantic, diplomatic, and politically correct as would seem to be most people are comfortable with.

So -- my dear fellow Stones fan here's to you! Cheers! Fosters indeed! Have you ever tried that God awful stuff?

I understand why people dislike much of Love You Live, it's definitely a Stones fan's album. It was the third album I, ummm acquired. Still have my original 1977 vinyl copy. Sounds as good today as it did then.

I used to buy the records, then record them straight away and only listen to the tapes, that's why my vinyl still exists today. I just purchased a new turntable to integrate into my existing system, wow! Was I surprised, as the turntable was a very good one. Ya gotta turn 'em up of course, but fuck the neighbours, neighbours,neighbours, neighbours, NEIGHBOURS, yes I got neighbours, doin' my head in--- all the fucking time.

Another word on Love You Live. It was slated in England, and in Australia upon it's release. You should have seen some of the reviews. Criticised everything from Warhol's cover, to of course the music. At that time the double live album had become a genre unto itself.

Slade Alive! probably kicked it off, although Get Yer Yas Out is often held up as the first successful live LP ever. Live albums were not great sellers prior to Ya Yas, and the Who's, The Who Live At Leeds.Neil Diamond's Hot August Night also did much to promote the double live album.

You see although the Stones badgered Decca to release the Ya Yas LP as a double,(as we finally got it, as intended in 2009) they declined, Decca that is. Deep Purple's Made In Japan also spurred the double LP on. Then of course you got the phenomenally successful Kiss Alive!, and Frampton Comes Alive and, BOOM!

The Stones obviously felt compelled to deliver accordingly, lo and behold, Love You Live. The Stones were in turmoil then, and the songs were horribly rushed as Jagger was so obviously 'Stultified within the Stones bubble.' And yet, despite the very fast nature of side 4, I think it has an addictive quality. I love the way they race into each number, it's like one long jam. Those versions of Brown Sugar, JJF, and Sympathy are among my favourites as far as live versions are concerned. I used to drive down a certain road on Friday afternoons with a compilation tape going, and side 4 of LYL was the end of the tape. I used to turn it up, and drive way too fast on the last leg of the journey. So LYL has very fond memories for me.

Always wondering with this kind of posts..... doesn't anyone play the first albums from the early sixties anymore? Of course the late sixties till the mid seventies was their best period, but still I play the old ones on a regular basis. I love those early albums dearly, but many of you don't seem to care about them. They are rarely mentioned in this kind of posts. Or am I wrong??

Truth is that while I love their early stuff it never did get much spinning time, with the exception of Now! Might have to do with this: I became a Stones fan around 1989. I was a lad back then, made my money packing groceries and delivering newspapers. So CD's were expensive. The stuff from Sticky Fingers onward were available in the mid-price section, the Decca stuff wasn't because of Klein. So I got Hot Rocks and the first half of the Big Four. Of course, I fixed that over the years but by the time I got all those Brian Age records, the 70's stuff had been a part of my life for years. I was in love with Now! for a while, but it is the one exception.

Back to the original question: I spin Exile at least once a week. I have been doing that for 25 years, the album never bores me. Currently my favorite is that Sticky Fingers Live gem the boys threw on iTunes. Love it..
