swapwoodfortaylor OK I'll come out and admit that the only CD in my car for the last 3 years is 'Brussells Affair' and worse still I only play 1 track...2 Gimme Shelter! Perhaps barring Beefheart's 'Strictly Personal' I have never heard a couple of white lads play the blues like that! Brian was of course King.....what delivery of 'Last time'!
August 24th, 2004 08:32 PM
corgi37 Brian never played on Gimmme Shelter, ever.

But, of course, Brian was a legend. By the time Brussels Affair was done, he'd been dead 4 years. What a master!



August 24th, 2004 09:37 PM
swapwoodfortaylor Indeed.....the Brussels Affair is a prime example of 2 folks (Richards / Taylor) getting on with their job with complete confidence in their fine rhythmn section.

Soldatti By far the best Stones boot, it's a shame that not was released oficially...

Egbert The Gimme Shelter from Wembley 1973 rules.

Head'n For An Overload - same show, better sound.
It is the single most rocking CD I have ever owned.

August 25th, 2004 01:46 AM
beer yes brussels is excellent, along with the other great 72 73 stugff, but i dont think it's the be all, end all best boot of the Stones. The '66 hawaii and Melbourne are cool cuz they;re punk as fuck.

I'm not a big fan of '75. But do like the '76 stuff though.


Some of the '78 boots are way more energetic and they sound like much more fun.

I totally dig the '81 stuff. The "Under My thumb" opening just might be my absolute favorite.

stones-addict After being a fan for many years, I only just recently (in the last few months) got Brussels, and I was blown clean out of my boots! It would be impossible to express how amazing this boot is without the repeated use of profanities!

Jumping Jack I wish the sound engineering tech wizards would clean up Perth 73. It is perhaps the best performance despite (or because) of how wasted they all were.

Amen!

Someone needs to do this, TSP was super but Perth 73 could be even more cleaned up!!

steel driving hammer It's one of the greatest but slightly over-rated imo, just slightly.

Jersey Devil is up there w/ it.

Yes it is Ronnie.

man that's impressive - 'tho i wonder if you aren't a suitable case for treament - i also wonder what my psych. friend Dr.Filth would say but it strikes me as a great example of an obsessive compulsive disorder - and i should know - i often have a similiar problem - but THREE YEARS - ONE SONG

BLOODY HELL!!

HATS OFF!!

egon Would anyone be willing to burn this magical album for me?

As I’m a bootleg virgin, all I can trade it for is a pack of gum and/or my eternal gratitude...

August 26th, 2004 07:32 AM
JaggaRichards if they ever did a legit release of Brussels '73, they'd probably screw it up with unnecessary overdubs.
I love it the way it is.
especially 'Gimme Shelter'.

Hee hee thats a good one

Chuck Brussels '73 is great, but I prefer Leeds '71.

Perth 73 - what an AWESOME show!



[Edited by moonlightmile]

kahoosier I know it is all a matter of personel taste, but my money will always be on Perth 73 over Brussles on any day. The verison of Bitch from that show has to be the ultimate example of Rock and Roll at its finest. Throughout the show Keith is on fire, Mick is wildly suberp, Charlie and Bill are a constant, and most importantly for me, MT is at his finest without any of the excess he demonstrates on later boots.
August 26th, 2004 01:54 PM
doo doo doo Dude Brussels is the shit. I'll hook you guys up, PM me.
August 26th, 2004 06:59 PM
stonedinaustralia can anyone get me sorted for perth '73??

Amen. It don't get no better than this. Gimme Shelter cooks, and also check out the guitar interplay at the beginning of Rip This Joint - awesome!

SIA, the VERY first Stones booot i ever got was a CD titled Wizards Of O.Z. (Sydney Feb 27, 1973)
You must get some of the boots that have escaped your land> Perth, Happy Birthday Nicky(is that the same one? it also has Dallas rehearsels if i remember right_)is great, also check out Melb '66, if ya can handle the crude raucous shit from the early days. i love it.

F505 You can't always get is my favorite from BA. The sax solo in combination with Keith's rhythm guitar is probably the best on a stones record ever.
August 27th, 2004 07:31 AM
Mr Hess No doubt the best!
Anytime I burn a copy for someone, they go bonkers over it!
August 27th, 2004 07:48 AM
Gazza I think Keith has been quoted as saying that only once in his life did he perform stoned on acid.

The show in question was Perth '73.

If the "Just Say No" crowd heard that show, they'd collectively shit themselves.
