Wish they’d release that Brussels Affair show as a stand-alone thing, don’t want to buy the $100+ super deluxe Goat Heads Soup just to get it.

I got a bootleg of it. This is the one I got, it was not expensive.

xp It really should get a standalone release. It's weird it hasn't since so many lesser shows were.
FWIW, it was released years ago as a lossless download, and it was reasonably priced - I think $10? - so I got it and burned it on to a CD-R, which I still have. The CD in the box set uses the exact same mastering.

xp - been keeping my eye out for that bootleg version, but it's unavailable everywhere atm.
Meanwhile, this El Mocambo release really does live up to the hype.

This new 4 part BBC series "My Life As A Rolling Stone" sometimes feels like a glorified EPK. I don't care what Lars Ulrich, Sheryl Crow or Chrissie Hynde think of The Stones (sorry?). But the old codgers are enjoyable to watch and listen to. The Ronnie Wood episode is especially good though the overall feeling is that these guys, who I love with all my heart, are the coolest of relics from a time when sex, drugs n' rock n' roll held a lot more meaning than today.

This is the best version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" I've ever seen/heard.

That was pretty awesome! Great-looking restoration - IIRC they restored all of their short films for their 50th anniversary (partly for that Crossfire Hurricane doc as well). I kind of wish they'd put them on a Blu-ray like the Beatles did with 1+, but at least they're streaming.

The 'Micky Stardust & The Spiders From Dartford' clip!

Charlie weirdly the only one dripping with sweat and looking like he's about to pass out in that clip.
So who else sitting in adding percussion and organ?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 5 August 2022 17:21 (one year ago) link
Hmm, I guess the recording is some combination of the recorded track and ... live vocals?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 5 August 2022 17:25 (one year ago) link
Bonham was so much better at sweating and almost passing out, it's not even close.

Charlie: ("OK, just breathe ... 1,2,3,4, kick, snare, kick, snare ... breathe ... 1,2,3,4 ... gosh, are all the lights pointed right at me? ... 1,2,3,4 ... what did I have for dinner, didn't everyone eat the same thing? ... not even Mick is sweating, what is wrong with me? ... ")

I don’t think those are live vocals - for one thing, there are backing vocals but nobody else there is singing

This probably won't happen...or if it does, it'll be an Abkco release that doesn't need the Stones' approval. Given Abkco's track record of such things (like the wan Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! box), they'll probably fuck it up somehow.

There are extra hoots and whoops and stuff, too, that are not on the recording, so I dunno what's going on. Kind of like a Peel Session?

The "Miss You" clip has some visual similarities, and also uses an alternate vocal

i love the little improvisations mick throws in throughout the clip unperson posted. he's always doing that (often to the song's detriment, as their career goes on, imo) but the way he did it in the 60s was so perfect.

yeah (ma ma yeah?) there's also that extra high keith harmony on "all right now." or it's more pronounced or something.

Abkco has just up the original 'Drag' version of the "Have You Seen Your Mother..." promo film.
