I think I prefer the Marianne Faithfull version of As Tears Go By, to be honest.
I'm an alligator, I'm a mama-papa coming for you I'm the space invader, I'll be a rock 'n' rollin' b**** for you Keep your mouth shut, you're squawking like a pink monkey bird And I'm busting up my brains for the words
So, i have seen the new movie with Rollings starring by Martin Scorsese! In English it is called Shine the Light (if i am not mistaken). In fact it is not so much a movie than a concert. I enjoyed it very much, watching these great rockers, and especially Mick Jagger, oh, how wonderful he is! And my favourite song: As Tears Go By! Is the film on in your parts?
I attended their show in November of '06 at the Oakland Coliseum, one week into the start of their tour, with Van Morrison opening.
Greatest show I've ever been to.
By the way, has anyone heard (or bought) their most recent album A Bigger Bang? I listened to the whole thing shortly after it came out, and I really liked it -- the Stones rocked hard and it was probably their best album since Tattoo You, if not Steel Wheels. But even as I was listening to it, I found it almost 'too clean' -- Jagger's vocals were very up front, not buried in the mix as in vintage Stones LPs. I wasn't sure what to make of it -- I liked it, but it was a little foreign to me. Any other opinions on that album, or memories of Stones shows?
You got Van Morrison!! Damn. I got Joss Stone. I feel gypped. But the Stones' rocked. I cannot believe the energy of Mick Jagger. He didn't stop moving the entire two and half to three hours.
Mr. Mustard! I just love that album! A Bigger Bang is fantastic: Rain Fall Down, This Place Is Empty and the song Biggest Mistake is so thrilling and moving as if Mick has himself experienced the thing profoundly and is venting all his emotions and sorrows on us, feeling the deepest regret about his mistake. I am always so carried away with it...The album is very good, I think it can`t be compared to the monotonous works of some newly, or better say, recently emergent groups, such as Travis or Kean or Coldplay. By the end of their albums you find yourself sleeping soundly. Though all these bands are to my liking. But the Great Rolling Stones are way ahead, miles ahead. Mick is incredible!
I also saw the Stones play in Oakland (in the smaller indoor arena, about 18,000 seats) in '99. But I didn't get so lucky with the opener -- Bryan Adams.
I was exhausted watching Jagger 2 years ago. So much so, that two nights later, the Who (well, Pete and Roger) were playing the Shoreline Amphitheatre (much cheaper ticket, $40 compared to $150 for the Stones), but I was still too worn out from the Stones show to consider seeing the Who.

What do you mean by being exhausted? Were you in the fan area, dancing, singing, shouting so that you could no longer stand it? Did Mick involve you in the show emotionally so much that you needed a break to come round? And is Bryan Adams no good on stage?
