Title: Welcome aboard “The Flying Cloud”
Post by Copsnrobbers on Aug 20^th, 2010 at 9:19pm

Hi! Nice talking to you again.
Good health to you .
Hello! WORLD!

This thread will contain forbidding topics
And toilet humor all at the same time.

Stones Forever.

About the 1973 tour…

She drew out all her money out of the Southern Trust
And put her little boy aboard a Greyhound Bus
Leaving Louisiana for the Golden West
Down came the tears from her happiness
Her own little son name 'o Johnny B. Goode
Was gonna make some motion pictures out in Hollywood

She remembered taking money out from gathering crop
And buying Johnny's guitar at a broker shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad side
And wouldn't get in trouble he was satisfied
But never thought that there would come a day like this
When she would have to give her son a goodby kiss

She finally got the letter she was dreaming of
Johnny wrote and told her he had fell in love
As soon as he was married he would bring her back
And build a mansion for 'em by the railroad track
So every time they heard the locomotive roar
They'd be a' standin', a' wavin' by the kitchen door

Howling

Bye, bye, bye, bye

"The Los Angeles benefit show introduced a catwalk to the Stones' stage set
for the first time, behind Charlie Watts' drum position.
In general the set-up and playing was more professional
on this tour than on the overcharged 1972 American Tour.
The raw distorted sound evidenced on unofficial record
releases from this tour has much in common with the
European tour later the same year, though Nicky Hopkins
still performed with the band on this round,
This became MT last tour with the Rolling Stones.
Unlike 1972, the Pacific leg also created less
media hype and attracted few celebrities."

Every invention from my youth is gone, earth shoes
8-tracks etc all except old faithful LP’s .
I was going through my boots from 1973 tour
,MT ‘s last one with the boys. In particular
riffling through looking for the
” Nicaraguan Benefit Concert”
I went to that show our seats where
in the very top… Loud? Ouch! yes..
I had seen them earlier at the Hollywood Palladium
the summer of ‘72 I was still a teenager
listening to Taylor’s riffs like frenzied energy.
Looking back I’m grateful i saw Mick Taylor.
Uh... Oh, my.

“As a fan of 45 years I can safely say this is them at their peak
when anyone wants to know what all the fuss was about they
can play this and understand this show why they became
an inspiration and template for thousands of inferior bands.
Mick Taylor was the real deal. "

“The guitarist claims he would have died
if he had not quit
The Rolling Stones in 1974.”
From women who practice the art of deception
to men who build towers to their passing
I guess he was correct in retrospect.
Gram Parson died a year earlier Bobby Keys
twitched In Germany fall from grace and lost
his gig for a long time Keith’s Grand Pa died too.
Micheal Cooper, Dead .. dead is dead don’t
matter how he got dead at this point. Plus
the party was over for infamous “STP” crew.
“Parents couldn’t believe what was happening
to their kids they were listening to their
music buying their records Album cover
pictures with the Stones laying around
at home making parents sick.
But the Billboards signs summed it
all Up into one Headline which
was The Sound Face and Mind of
today 's music more then the hope
of tomorrow and the reality of Destruction ,
That the blind who can not See their
children for fear and division something,
They grew and related by reflections of
today’s children ….

Excerpts from “ Making the Least of Paradise”
By Ben Fong-Torres circa ’73.

“The Rolling Stones are in Hawaii

Mick Jagger hoist his first glass of 1957 Chateau Margaux’
to a table of 29. “ To the shortest American tour
in history,” he says The RS, the heart of their Pacific
tour cut out when MJ was refused a Japanese visa
because of his 1966 marijuana conviction.
By the time dinner breaks up at 4 AM, the Stones
will have rug up a bill of $1700,
mostly because Mick cleaned out all the ’57 Chateau Marguax
left in the cellar here at Nick’s Fish Market,
something like 16 bottles at $85 a bottle plus
other spirits and plenty of continental seafood,
and yet it was kind of a high pointless night,

front of them Keith and Mick sitting together nearby
almost formal in their quiet. Keith looked wasted;
he still had some Charlie Watts and Mick Taylor
smoking and drinking and chatting, ignoring the
silver platters of hors d’oeuvres spread out
in of his nasty, pasty dead-eye make-up on Mick’s
was washed off, and he looked older, more fragile
than he does on onstage.

When he smiles he puts
his whole face into the effort, teeth bursting up
front over the famous labial lookalike lips,
something a hand moving up to cover the throaty
laughter while the eyes close or glisten child like.
But here at 1:30 AM, he is yawning the hand keeps moving up.”
At wo o’clock Tuesday he has finally awakend,
and we’re about to kill tow birds ; let Mick have
a good time and do a photo session. Jagger has
been invited to take a crise on “The Flying Cloud”
an 82 foot, restored 1929 schooner owned by George Walker,
who came in fro Kona, 100 miles away to acocommodat Mick.
Now the captain of the ship meets the RS. George prceeds
to fill Mick on all the Hawwaiian legends…about
Captain Cook and the Forbidden Isalnd of Niihau,
and Mick takes it all in . Six miles out,
Walker turns the Flying Cloud around
and offers the wheel to Mick.

"The first leg Los Angeles and Hawaii shows got a greater
variety than this, however, with "Dead Flowers" and
"It's All Over Now" appearing in each show
(the latter representing a rare Stones playing
of an oldie in this era)
and "Beggars Banquet" nuggets "No Expectations"
and "Stray Cat Blues" making the odd face as well."

Hi hope all is well.. i'm gonna post
some stuff that you probably seen
to be honest there isn't a whole lot of
information that we don't know about, regarding '73 tour.
thanks.

here are a few blogs from Stones' fans

“Mick Taylor plays the most fluid lead lines is rock.
The Rolling Stones never sounded better live than when
Mick Taylor played with them and I wish he was still part
of that band. He may not feel that way but I do.
Ron Wood could not carry Mick’s guitar pick.
Thanks for the tracks.
By Stones Freak on May 13, 2009”

The best live Stones I've ever heard was
their European tour set from 1973. It just
has everyone in killer form, Mick Taylor smokin' on lead,
Keith Richards drivin' on rhythm like never before
(or since), Mick Jagger puttin' in a first-rate vocal
performance, Watts and Wyman in fine drivin' form, and
I think it's Billy Preston on keyboards. There is also
a horn section.
The whole ensemble is so pumped, it sounds
like The Who's Live at Leeds energy level,
but it's the Stones.

There have been many bootlegs from the radio broadcasts
and soundboards recorded during the Europe 1973 tour,
but none of them were exactly right until this release,
which to the best of my knowledge re-creates the original
KBFH broadcast.

This is the way the Brussels and Wembley material
ought to be, distilled to its essence -
the best performances from two of the best shows ever
by the greatest rock and roll band in the world.
It doesn't get any better than this.

My highlight is a couple of incendiary (nice word, huh!)
versions of, "Gimme Shelter" -- Mick Taylor's playing
is absolutely incredible!

I wonder too about the relationship of the band with
Mick Taylor and any jealousies or somesuch in
regard to the often-times brilliance of his playing.
My feeling is that on these boots, Taylor
and Richards are two barbed-wired brothers ripping
and flayling, spurred on by the others intense licks.
People who've heard these boots usually rave
about Mick Taylor - however, I'm stunned by Richard's
creative use of counter crunch chords that sizzle
and lean against the more fluid style of Taylor. In fact,
I kind of resent that Richards has been overshadowed
in praise by the other guitarist. Just a thought...

Jagger stated: “We’re gonna do another new song
for you now” leading into “Dancing With Mr. D” played
a bit up tempo with Taylor comfortably firing away.

To me, the best Stones years were the short-lived
ones with Mick Taylor.
Here he is laying it down on his SG
See the music drip off the edge with twin reverbs."
He hit the midrange overdriving those SVTs
..Damn...
Yeah, if you hit the midrange right it was
almost like setting a wah pedal at a fixed position.
Unusual circuit with a multi-tapped inductor coil
in a bandpass filter. In other words, same idea
as the Vox wah. Real hard rock amp,
great crunch tone. But LOUD!(wtf are they talking about?!)

Anyway. I may be wrong, but I believe that back in the
Mick Taylor days, they were using VT-40s for guitar
live, and later on, V9s, which were the "guitar" version of the SVT.

Many of the photos and much of the film that I have
seen of the Stones from the Mick Taylor time period,
showed Fenders being used in the studio and for practice.
I'm sure they used all sorts of amps for recording.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the tracks that
some may think were Ampegs, were actually
a Champ, or a blackface Bassman etc.(they must be talking about computers)

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones.

Oh don't do that-don't do that...

O-YA!...O-YA....O-BABY!

WELL YOU HEARD ABOUT THE...
