  1. The Backbeat band:

    Dave Pirner (Soul Asylum): vocals

    Greg Dulli (The Afghan Whigs): vocals

    Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth): guitar

    Don Fleming (Gumball): guitar

    Mike Mills (R.E.M.): bass guitar

    Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters): drums

    Wow, really? Quite the lineup there, I had no idea Thurston Moore was part of this......

  2. Planet Waves???? HAHAHAH!!! You mean Permanant Waves?? I hope that was a type-O, man. And their earlier stuff wasn't proggy at all, so I think you have your albums and years mixed up. The first two albums sounded more like Zeppelin on speed than anything. Farewell to Kings is where the prog really started to show.

    Sorry, Permanant Waves. Well their first album was Canadian Zeppelin, their second album on up until PERMANENT Waves sounded pretty proggy to me and the prog got worse with every passing album. As I said, concise is good.

    Having seen them twice on their Snakes and Arrows tour, when they did roll out the older stuff I thought it wasn't badly played at all but really, I never cared for any of it personally speaking.

  3. I don't understand the reasoning behind this unless fans just want to own everything in every configuration possible. Seems like it would make much more sense to release the entire catalog in 5.1 all at once rather than in a piecemeal fashion like this.

    It makes sense for someone like myself who runs screaming anytime 2112 comes on the local classic rock radio station. I never personally cared for their proggy earlier stuff, they got a lot better once they got more concise. From Planet Waves forward, they got very interesting to listen to.

    But hey that's just me.........

  4. You're right, thanks for providing the correct one.

    The audio link to NPR expired and I never really got to listen to the new tunes on this. Have you bought it and is it worth doing so? All of the IRS label stuff speaks for itself and I seriously listened up until the mid 90's................is the latter stuff and new tunes representative enough of what they were?

  5. You won't get unreleased quality bootleg (true bootleg) material until either Keith or Mick pass on. Besides, didn't you like the Exile issue when it first came out? I thought you posted here that you did?

    Maybe not, either way though there is a ton of Stones boots out there, a lot of it really really good. All is not lost.

    Well I was drop dead wrong here. I just downloaded the "Brussels Affair" show from their new archives website. They offer mp3 and FLAC formats...........great show, awesome fidelity.........I'm very happy.

  6. It's been mentioned here and at other Zeppelin sites, but they played at the Aerodrome in Schenectady New York during the summer of 1969. I was 14 at the time and my father was a police officer for the city. The Aerodrome used to hire the local cops for security and my dad worked both Zeppelin shows. He also was bodyguard for Janis Joplin when she played there, picking her up at the Albany Airport after she flew in and stayed with her during her time here before her shows. He told me she was swiggin' Jack Daniels out of the bottle and offered him some, which he refused. My dad told me she was "really a nice young woman".

    When you're 14 in 1969 and your father is a cop, you have no shot seeing any of these people. My father did let me hang out in the parking lot for Zeppelin's afternoon show though. I heard them but didn't see them when they played the 'Drome.

  7. Boullion explained why on this page and I agree, Fool In the Rain wasn't a great Zep moment. Neither was Carouselambra which was late 70's bloat deluxe.

    Wearing and Tearing didn't make the final album, but these two did. Go figure, to this day I can't.

  8. Funny, that with a back catalog as extensive as the Stones' that this is the only box set they've ever released (at least that I'm aware of). I know they've released a box of some of their SACD reissues but what I'm referring here to an actual compilation such as The London Years.

    I think the Stones have limited control over their old London/ABKCO label music so the record company and Klein estate released this. No doubt the Stones must have approved it but yeah, it is strange there's never been a box set from Exile going forward.

  9. That I still need to buy this someday. There's always some used copies that are pretty inexpensive available through Amazon.

    It's probably the best Stones collection of them all even though it stops at Sticky Fingers. It's also all mono mixes. It's money we'll spent if you ever decide to make the plunge.
