"Shat-TUHD" ... "You know that part that goes 'Shidoobee'? 'SHIDOOBEE!' ... Maybe I'll get some help from Keith."
Priceless. |

Or the part where he tries to introduce the "piano players" -- man does he sound out of it. |

Great as those days were, would you guys agree that without today's "Professional Mick," the band probably wouldn't have been able to keep its shite together? ...
Stones' longevity ... all about trade-offs. Still, couldn't we trade *in* Ronnie? 
(In all seriousness, I hope his latest "tune-up" goes well...) |

Agreed little fella!
And "blame" Charlie too. Charlie is playing better than ever.
"Charlie is good tonight, isn't he Ronnie?"
Starsky!

Yeah, freebasing did Ronnie a lot of good. He's never really recovered.

I think that show is more the exception than the rule. Most of the shows I heard were just plain awful. Not just talking about sound quality either. |

No. The best shows were great...but '78 had some of their worst--just piece of shit shows were Mick was barely coherant and Keith was even worse. And myths be damned, cocaine was THE reason!! BTW, those songs played in '78 whose debut you rightfully celebrate were almost all written and recorded in '77 |

those shows are interesting.......the fucked-up tour.
keith was facing jail and just getting off junk, and mick was in the middle of a divorce - alot of shit was hitting the fan and the shows have that frenetic, desparate feel - but strangely enough, it heightened the intensity of the performances.............mick sounds like he's possesed on miss you and shattered. |

Actually, and i have long thought this, i reckon Mick is on maximum "punk" in that era. He's really putting on the accent and acting sloppy. I aint saying he wasnt totally straight, but he seems so much more Cockney than he was in, say, 76. Trying to counter the "too old, too rich" shit he and others were copping at the time. Was he trying to out punk the punks?
Mick has always been an actor.
I have Garden State 78 on glorious tape. I love his reference to the Singapore fans and how he likes playing in that place as opposed to the usual barns. The accent he adopts is so weird!

Yeah, the cocaine tour sure has energy, but I really do prefer Mick's recent vocals to that -78 shouting and growling.
The worst gig from The Stones I've heard is the 1979 benefit gig for the blind. I wanna hide under my sofa in the intro of Starfucker. The boys are soooooo wasted. |

I agree with Corgi that Mick was playing a bit of a punk persona on that tour (wasn't all drugs). There was also alot of drinking - always a bottle of Rebel Yell or Jack being passed around the stage. Mick was sick in Philly and he had a healthy dose of whisky that day - you can hear it in his voice/growl. |

I love this fiction that Keith quit drugs altogether after he stopped using heroin. That story about telling the dealers to buzz off, the incredulous looks on their faces was his new high? Er, I don't think so. ... Yet more of Keith's self-produced mythology. |

the punks definately lit a fire under jagger's perfumed ass...........in a great way -
the whole band had that raw edge; this tour was my introduction to the stones through the king biscuit flower/flour hour
what the fuck is the RAPE version of satisfaction? |

true mel - keith is the author of his own mythology -
and most of it is bullshit, ot deluded fantasy........
ahh, but we love the guy. |
