Beatle Neil Easily the North American november 1969 tour for me....and my view is that 'Liv'r than you'll ever be' is THE ultimate live Stones document above all, and I'll say it again - is also the reason I ain't played the plasticated overdub-ridden 'Get yer Ya-Ya's out' in about 4 years or so.
And don't intend to ever again. If that was meant as a 'beat the boots' package then it failed big time.

I couldn't agree more about the 1975/76 shambles. The general sound it has, everything....diabolical.
I don't collect live '75/'76 boots now.
I believe support act Lynard Skynard wiped the stage with them at Knebworth 1976...is that correct?
As a title for an officious....er, sorry, official live LP, 'Love you live but never play you coz yer shit' is a little long, I guess....

Egbert Yeah maybe Skynyrd did blow the Stones off the stage at Knebworth '76 (as their redneck drummer alleges on the VH1 program) - but the Stones were getting it done way back when the Skynyrds were growing their first pubic hairs. Nothing against LS, but I'd like to see 'em blow the '69 or '72/'73 Stones off the stage. Good Luck!

Beatle Neil Thankyou JB.
A most informative post. Fascinating.

Always one, isn't there.........
What's your problem now, sonny?
Need someone to tie your laces for you again?
Hope having to learn how to spell my name didn't traumatise you as much as having to type the word you hate the most - the name of my favourite band....you know, that crap band I love whose lead guitarist recommended your favourite band to Decca records after their own success kicked the door open for your favourite band, (Yes, the same guitarist that attended the Brixton academy show)You know, that crap band who wrote your favourite band's 2nd hit, sang backing on 'We love you' and worked alongside your favourite band never to clash in the charts....need I go on?

JB - Mr."How to win friends and influence people" himself.
The very same.
A walking inspiration to us all.
A most popular character.
Bursting with personality.

So, who or what are you gonna be hating tomorrow, then?

JB, You truly are pathetic.
And I already instinctively know that there isn't a single person reading this who doesn't agree with me.
Go and get your personality disorder checked out before you start taking your social inadequacies out on me.
It's not my fault that you have absolutely no reason
to own a telephone or an address book.

Neil while jb doesn't need me to come into bat for him - i must say your staement is incorrect - i for one don't agree with you

for the most part i find jb to be hilarious - and feel it's those that don't get the joke or are offended by his comments who are, if not "pathetic", then over sensitive or lacking a sense of humour or living in an irony free zone

SIA...ya beat me to it!

Beatle...jb is one of those that you either 'love or hate' types. You're entitled to your opinion, I'll give ya that...but IMO, SIA hit the nail-on-the-head with his observation.

Madafaka 1981/82 Was the best tour in my opinion. They were like... What I can say that... A little "raw"
