Rolling Stones: Classic or Dud

(running away with them?)

some encores just wanna be played all night

I don't have that much time to jam

The thought of 80 year old Keith singing “her 80 year old tits and ass” is *vomits*

well, he has been married, by all accounts, happily since 1983, so congrats to him loving his wife like this.

Patti was so great in They All Laughed!

^On MAX now, for the curious.

Anita Pallenberg docu "Catching Fire" is really good for the anecdotes and old footage. We never really get a hold of what made her click, though. Seems the children in the 70s Stones' circle were the ones who really suffered.

Watching the DVD of their tour closing Leeds show from 1982, it's fun and amusing to watch. They sound great - I really wish I could've seen Keith like this, he's in top form - but the clothes are kind of ridiculous, in a way that seems partly intentional. First time you see Mick, his first name is in big letters on his red and white jacket with the puffed up sleeves. Wyman looks like they caught him in the middle of a jog and he was like, "oh, we go on NOW?" and then he just jogs directly to the stage and plays as is 'cause at this point it's just a job so whatever. Seeing Wood open the show with a cigarette in his mouth (where it will stay) is hilarious to me - like I've seen musicians quickly put one out or spit out their gum before kicking off a show, but no, not Wood.

I think this whole show is in broad daylight - when's the last time the Stones have done a show completely in the day? You'd think they'd be more inclined to do that now in their golden years.

“This bass looks easier to play…”

Seeing Wood open the show with a cigarette in his mouth (where it will stay) is hilarious to me - like I've seen musicians quickly put one out or spit out their gum before kicking off a show, but no, not Wood.

Have you seen the Some Girls '78 live show? He keeps dropping cigs every time he sings back up. He must have gone through a few packs that night.

Bill Wyman is simultaneously the least and most rock n’ roll figure the business has ever seen

“It’s one of those things that’s best left unexplained”

“The authorities said … just leave it alone”

xxpost explain the “most” part to me lol

The most part is detailed in his memoir Stone Alone. That, and things like him finding ancient Roman coins in his back yard and making a song called "Je Suis un Rockstar" which is the best of all solo Stones singles.
