I have it. It was good in a historical way. I don't what The Stones were trying to prove. Their performance was average. They don't translate well to t.v. Brian Jones didn't help much by playing rhythm guitar. The direction was twin guitar interplay and Mick Taylor was much better at it. I think that was when the guys decided he had to go because The Who's performance bettered theirs due to Brian's loss of skills. Dirty Mac was good on Yer Blues but I could have been spared Yoko's howl on the other stuff. Personally I thought The Who just threw a bunch of half finished tunes together and made it some kind of mini-opera. It was good but silly. The treat for me was watching Tony Iommi play with Jethro Tull. He left soon after to rejoin Black Sabbath because of Ian Anderson's Iron Fist. Iommi didn't fit Tull anyway. Too much talent to be a hired gun. Jesse Ed Davis is playing with Taj Mahal. He is one of the forgotten gunslinger guitarists in Rock. Drugs and Booze took him too soon. He would play sessions and want to get paid that day so he could score his next fix. What a waste.

I think it's a classic case of Stones penis-envy. Beatles release Rubber Soul-Stones release "Between the Buttons" (check out the out of focus cover). Beatles release Sgt Pepper-Stones release Satanic Majesties (check out the pyschedelic cover) Beatles release The White Album-Stones release Beggars Banquet (double album, plain white cover). Beatles do Magical Mystery tour TV special-Stones do Rock and Roll Circus TV special........

haha your so right Kev.. no matter how hard they tried..they could never match what the Beatles ever did

Out of interest I checked for any Stones forums-only found 1 but they've had no postings for a month.
I LOVE bumping inrto Stones fans in the pub-easy as poking a pig with a stick.

i know loads of people who like the stones.. and guess what .. they always claim that they are bigger and better that the Beatles.....

YAAAAAAAAAAAWN !

Bring em on. Anytime, anywhere, anyhow......

There was a period when they had Mick Jones when they were better than The Beatles. Of course there were no Beatles at the time so you really can't make that comparison. I do think of the GREAT Stones music as the era they had Mick Taylor in the band.

Yeah I agree - Stones came into their own AFTER the Beatles had left the scene, so its a moot point really.
Stones fans always say they were better live, but if you look at Stones circa '63-'66 they're pretty static on stage. It's only in '69 that you get Mick and his "f** dancing" (John's quote), and of course we'll never know what the B's would have been like.
I think giving up playing live was the B's biggest mistake.

Lenny Pane · « **Reply #31 on:** January 26, 2005, 03:16:12 PM »

hmmm im not sure on that one .. ive been doing gigs for the last .. i would say 12-15 years .. and believe me its not fun at times..so i can understand to a point why the Beatles gave up touring .. weather it was a good thing or not .. but if they did carry on would they have produced the albums they did ? who knows .....

Kevin · « **Reply #32 on:** January 26, 2005, 03:23:29 PM »

I don't think they had to tour - festivals and one-offs maybe. I just think it's the glue that binds bands together. The Devil and idle hands and all that

Lenny Pane · « **Reply #33 on:** January 26, 2005, 03:30:39 PM »

yeah .. doing those type of gigs do keep you tight musically.. and im sure it wouldnt of hurt to do a few shows a year ..

Prehaps one of the best live performances ever by the Stones! The Jumpin Jack Flash song and Stray Cat Blues is historic!

The Who was the best act of the night

It's a piece of Rock and Roll History that's nice to see because it shows just how a few bands got together with little hoopla! Today the record companies, lawyers, and the entire money making machine would have ground to project to a halt! The Rolling Stones were definatley on thier game! On another note I'm surprised that the band didn't film some thing cool for the "S-M-R" Lp?

I just loved the way John was dancing to Sympathy for the Devil.

John was awesome in the 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' video
