Exile on Main St.

It got posted a few months ago on some Stones thread. Either C/D or Goats Head Soup?

Keith's backup on Casino Boogie is one of my favorite moments of his, every time I hear I am reminded of 90s Memphis rocker Lorette Velvette (produced by Alex Chilton)

Lorette Velvette now there’s a name I hadn’t thought about in 20+ years


Im a big Let it Loose stan but it does benefit mightily from the LA overdubs

"Let It Loose" is an absolute masterclass but I could understand dumping that or others from this for a single LP. it would've only benefited goats head soup or the subsequent albums.

The sunlight bores the daylights out of me

Sunshine ?

my fave line

True tho

Documentary on "Exile on Main Street" gets off to a great start with Don Was claiming the album was recorded at the same time as Coppola was shooting "Apocalypse Now" - fyi Don the Vietnam War hadn't even finished yet. Then Keith claims the British government were out to get them because they were too powerful and that's why they had to leave the UK - it wasn't just about the tax dontcha know?

I surely must have misheard that Don Was quote, they couldn't possibly leave such a howler in the film could I? Mind you it was followed shortly after a brief clip of Jack White asking when it was recorded.

He must have mixed up Apocalypse Now with The Godfather

Possibly, he was making some bullshit point or other which wouldn't have worked with The Godfather.

don was not correct

lol these movies are for me very "I want to hear about what you're talking about but i really don't want the myth version you're going to hammer me over the head with for ninety minutes." at what point in this one does Dave Grohl appear

“Rip this joint blah blah blah”

This had the talking heads at the start at the end and, thankfully, not very much of them at all. 95% was footage and photos from the recording sessions with the Stones and associates doing voiceovers. Opening up with Don Was placing "Apocalypse Now" in 1971 and then showing Jack White not knowing when the album was recorded suggests they were taking the piss out of "classic album docu" conventions tbh. At least I like to think so.

at what point in this one does Dave Grohl appear

Same question as applied to Johnny Depp and Dick Cavett.

I thought c******* blues was the exile doc

There's another, "Official" one called Stones In Exile that accompanied the expanded reissue of the album back in 2010. I imagine this is the one being discussed? It includes some footage from CSB.

always love hearing how hard hit they were by taxes that they had to flee in their private jets to their Riviera chateaux

(xp) That's it.

Things like this make me agree with Mick Jagger that nostalgia sucks.

Should he read this message board, he should know we don't want him working with Aaron Dessner.
