Apologies for my EONS brethren. They approved a horrid Tesla album, rubber-stamped a limp Eric Clapton record, and dissed an indisputably great Stones live LP. Imagine having to endure our text chain.
In about 30 years, someone will buy an iPhone at a flea market and start going through it. It'll turn out to have once belonged to that obnoxious person who held their phone up and recorded a whole show from like, the 8th row.
Funny story. I was in high school, home alone (I thought) with my girlfriend. I had put GYYYO on the turntable. One thing led to another, and we occupied ourselves. Meanwhile, the album apparently had a scratch at the beginning of the big blues jam on Midnight Rambler. The same 2-second bit played for 30ish minutes until my sister finally yelled "TURN IT OFF!"
I love this blog and I love your opinions on music ( I am a huge Dead and ABB guy) but I love this stones album, I love the NY grittiness and dirtiness of it all, it ain’t close to perfect but I love Mick and Keith’s guitar play on this. The Hyde park show does not sound great either but I love it! I love that 69-71 sound of the dirty stones
While I feel sorry for Don, the massive, cutthroat comments were valid. I'm a big Stones fan but never ever liked this album. Well done gentlemen (and Ken) Looking forward to The Kinks. Great album. "Hey...I wasn't that good!"
It was always confusing to me after he said that. Cause then he says...."Because...we're not gonna play that one tonight" The word "because" never made sense there.

You are correct, it is indisputably a Stones album. A very bad one!
imho, it's a sloppy drunk stones album that's mostly a disservice to the original recordings

And it will sound like this record.
Odds are that Mick & Keith will still be touring in 2055.
True!

30 minutes. Impressive.
Well, I was 18 at the time ...

Well done, Dave. A true music aficionado.
Thank you! Keep blogging you guys! Love listening to the different opinions of all of you! I tend to learn something every album review

Ah, a man who knows his stage banter. I'm impressed.

I think he was just talking like a kid. And, so, like, because we're not gonna play that one tonight.
That's an excellent response. Thanks CJ.
ALRIGHT...WE'LL DO IT! ONE CONDITION THOUGH...YOU GOTTA JOIN IN AND SING ALONG!
This is the disco version
Well played sir.
