The whole DVD is a must-see, even Yoko screeching away in perhaps the most unapologetically unlistenable moment in Rock & Roll history, if only to more fully appreciate why she was so universally despised by Beatles fans; at least one could accurately say, if nothing else, she didn't pander to the masses. (Sorry, that sentence ran on a bit.) |

Yup! I love every cut, save for Sympathy For the Devil, it falling into the Layla/Stairway To Heaven/Freebird/In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida category.
Hate to disagree with someone who agreed with me, but Sympathy happens to be my favorite Stones song of all time - despite the gazillion times I've heard it. Love the Get Yer Ya Ya's Out Version especially well. |

That makes 2 songs from this album today. A veritable feast of the Stones on RP.

tx is talkin, so i just thought i'd represent 'ole h-town with a: "yep". i like the stones, but since i don't have most of their albums, i'd have never heard this tune if i was only depending on the fm. good cut. |

Amen. So true. TV is worse. No independent freespeaking media in this country anymore. |

This sort of behavior was around long, long before Clear Channel ever came into being. |

I just saw them in concert in Barcelona. It was a last minute decision, and a very tough one, because, you know, they've been around for so long...
besides, the price (ouch!!)
And it was marvellous!
I don't regret a single cent spent on the concert
Many young groups would love to play half as good just for one day in their lives.
What a concert!
What a song!
And what a couple of years between them

although i do like hearing less played stones songs, whenever i do, it makes me desperately want to hear "paint it black"

Great cut from a grossly underappreciated Stones release. Though I've L-O-N-G tired of Sympathy For the Devil (I dont have any), the rest of this release is excellent!

It's too bad that the Stones are known for songs like Honky Tonk Woman, Satisfaction, et al and not for songs like this one.

This is how Roadhouse Blues begins:

We're going to the roadhouse, going to have a real
