i have a vinyl recording of this in very good condition but missing postcards....it is one of the first pressing (eBay)

the postcards Pinz sent me completed the set because they were originals also.

Ah, yes! I remember them well!


His auntie, he says! His Auntie!

I actually posted a few at the time. Wish I hadn't now. Many changes of address later, I no longer even have the original vinyl album. The CD sounds nowhere near as good.

(M. Jagger/K.Richards)

Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.
Oh, couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love.
Berber jew'lry jangling down the street,
Making bloodshot eyes at ev'ry woman that you meet.
Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love.

May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Make every song (you sing) your favorite tune.
May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Warm like the evening sun.

When you're drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn
And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn.
Just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off.
Angels beating all their wings in time,
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.
Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you,
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now.

May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Make every song you sing your favorite tune.
May the good Lord shine a light on you,
Warm like the evening sun.

Shine a Light- Rolling Stones (Exile version).

I enjoyed the Scorsese documentary, especially the archive footage and Buddy Guy's contribution in concert.

Marty essentially re-uses the same device that worked so effectively in The Last Waltz: the revealing spotlight- and why not recycle a good idea?

Its use in The Band concert/documentary was obviously suggested by the song "Stage Fright". With the Stones, the technical problems involved are attended with a certain bleak humour:

SCORSESE (in pre-production discussions): We can't burn Mick Jagger.

JAGGER (on stage, in concert): I'm frying my ass off here!

I suppose "Waiting on a Friend" is the only Jagger/Richards composition in which they're overtly singing about their relationship, but I'm sure that many of the songs they ostensibly address to women are actually addressed to one another.

I've already speculated (above) that "Let it Loose" is a song about Keith's attitude to Bianca.

"Shine a Light" is almost certainly about Mick's dismay at Keith's (drug-related) deteriorating health.

As the years went by and their friendship deteriorated into animosity, the songs (e.g. "Fight") became nastier.

You're not the only one
With mixed emotions

...Indeed.

If anyone is interested in buying me a gift for Easter, I'd like this vintage Stones tee from the '75 tour. It can be purchased at my favorite store in Nashville, imogene+willie, for a mere $600 http://www.imogeneandwillie.com/qty-of-one/rolling-stones-75-tee

The 1975 Tour of the Americas was The Rolling Stones first tour with new guitarist Ronnie Wood after Mick Taylor announced his departure. Seven months after It's Only Rock n' Roll, The Stones began a tour in the spirit of other '70s greats, one of their first to contain the massive stage props and general theatrics of the time. Made In The Shade, The Rolling Stones' first ever compilation album was released in part to capitalize of the success of this epic tour.

For $600 bucks, there ought to be some Jagger seed spilled on it that could be used to clone my own little Mick

The wiki entry reminds us that it did reasonably well - nothing earth-shattering, to be sure - on release:

Stripped is a live album by The Rolling Stones released in 1995 during the Voodoo Lounge Tour. The album is notable for being unlike any previous live release by the band in that it features a mix of intimate club recordings and live-in-the-studio reinterpretations of some classic and obscure recordings from their extensive catalogue.
The in-studio sessions were recorded in two parts: from 3–5 March 1995 in Tokyo, Japan and 23–26 July in Lisbon, Portugal while the live club dates are spread out from performances in London, Paris and Amsterdam.
As a bonus for the Compact Disc package, some versions of Stripped came with bonus data tracks viewable only through computer containing rehearsal performances of "Tumbling Dice" and "Shattered" and an alternate performance of "Like a Rolling Stone", with the addition of interviews with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood.

Released in November 1995 as their second album with Virgin Records, Stripped (a play on the title of Unplugged) was well-received with its relaxed and natural feel and reached #9 in both the UK and US, going platinum the latter territory. The lead single, a cover of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", reached #12 in the UK, becoming a rock radio hit in the US, and was followed up by "Wild Horses" in early 1996.

One of my fav' tunes ... Is their any question that the Stones are the greatest rock and roll band? I know I've said Beatles and GNR and Floyd...throw in Zep because they are light years away from most too...So yeah...when I think of rock and roll, I think of Stones. Hmmmm. Yet, GNR is still my...

I resolve to never use the term "greatest" in connection with rock and roll again..there will only be the great and the greater and the lowly posers. Ha! Gots the Exile on now. I resolve to get Stripped searched soon.

An odd feature of the first ("Wild Horses") vid is that, for some inexplicable reason, it opens with a litany of London Tube/mainline interchange stations:

"Waterloo...Paddington..Blackfriars...Charing Cross..."

Beats me.
