I love the part where he explains why the Stones set at Altamont started so late: Not because everybody was waiting for it to get dark so that Mick could do his "satanic thing" but because "the bass player couldn�t get his skinny ass on the scene" earlier. Stanley has a great sense of humour...

These two clowns have been bashing the Stones since the late '70's. Every review of a Stones show in Chicago is these two aholes criticizing every detail and offering
zero positive feedback for decades. Typical loser critics who can't do it themselves so they criticize those who can
I saw Jim DeRogatis walking down the street in Chicago, taking up the entire sidewalk I might add, and I rolled my window down and yelled "lay off the Stones you fat fuck"

i had never heard of either of them, but the majority of the talking on this set is done by booth, and none of the questions are derrogatory in regards to the stones...
i couldn't imagine any stones fan NOT enjoying listening to this 80 minute program, but ymmv... |

I've read several times Stanley Booth's book on the 1969 tour. His biography of Keith is very interesting too. As a friend of the band, especially of Keith, he was there at a key period of time, he saw it all and wrote about it honestly, without trying to make himself look good at the expense of the Stones. Keith's opinion of the book sums it all "the only book about which I can say: this is as it was". |

in DeRo's defense, he is a decent drummer, but that band of his, holy smokes, if it's not joke, I'm scared. |
