    Why DOESN'T Pagey Do Something?

    How many times can you remaster something? No.

    Jimmy is for all the bootlegs if they are non-profit unless it is known that it was pro-recorded he won't just release any old soundboard, we have copies that are as perfect as they are going to get anyway.

    Wish he would take a Grateful Dead approach to releasing live shows. More fans than those of us who know about boots and how to acquire them need to hear some of the live stuff that is out there, its mindblowing.

    This from The Rolling Stones confidant Bill German (10/15/2012):

    It's highly likely that the Stones will extend their "tour" into 2013, visiting the Far East and/or Australia early in the year before heading back to America and Europe.

    Right now, they're rehearsing in Paris, running through Jagger-Richards classics like "Let It Bleed," "Lady Jane" and "The Last Time," as well as Lennon & McCartney's "I Wanna Be Your Man" and the Otis Redding nugget "Dock Of The Bay." They've also been rehearsing their two new numbers, "Doom and Gloom" and "One More Shot," which will appear on next month's greatest hits package, "Grrr!"

    I bloody hope they play Australia, or even better NZ! I would definitely make the trip across the Tasman if they didn't come to NZ though.

    I can't agree with you Major, Some Girls is a great album and Tattoo You has some great songs on it, my favourite being 'Worried About You'. Undercover and Dirty Work are complete rubbish though but Voodoo Lounge and Bridges To Babylon do have some good songs on them imo.

    In other news Keith has said in a recent interview that they have shows booked in London and New York!

    Also, the new song 'Doom and Gloom' will be released on itunes on the 11th, I'm very intrigued as to what it will sound like.

    Not a Stones fan then?

    I'm a huge fan, another Greatest Hits package is boring to me for that exact reason. Why should I shell out for this when I have all of the songs on album anyway? How many times does Brown Sugar, Start Me Up etc. have to be released? Granted there are two supposed new tracks on it, but if they're anything like 'Don't Stop' which was tacked onto the 40 licks compilation you can count me out. I won't be purchasing this but I'll 'acquire' the two new songs.

    This is GREAT news! As Rolling Stone reports, 'Stones insiders' have told about serious plans for some gigs later this and of cause also next year. But Keith himself is also quoted. After all the letdowns, blown up rumours and (even official) denials, now at last we have some more serious stuff to think about!

    First: the Stones still think about one or maybe more gigs this year to mark their 50th anniversary. Keith says: "I'd like to get a couple of shows down and see how it goes [...] But I'd love it."

    Second: The same holds true for plans about a tour next year.

    Their last rehearsals in April this year Weehawken, New Jersey (see below), were fvery relaxed and joyful. According to Brett Morgen, who is the director of a documentary and who was invited to film the event to shoot footage for a documentary celebrating the group's anniversary, the Stones ran through "Beast of Burden" "Respectable" "Fool to Cry" and "Gimme Shelter", among other classics, and they were "extremely tight".

    Keith is quoted saying: "
    I thought I'd be quite rusty, after all we hadn't done it for a while, five years or something. But it sounded as fresh as you could hope for. It was a great week.
    "

    Third: in July, the Stones will meet in London to discuss further live performances and even the possibillity of new songs for a maybe new album!

    Keith: "
    It's all very hush-hush, ... I'm going over to London for a bit, so I'll find out more then.

    We're going to talk about that in July and see. I mean, I'd love to get some tracks down and see what songs we've got. And that goes along with part of getting the band back together and getting things moving. So I'd love to cut some tracks, yeah.
    "

    Cheek to cheek with Mick?
    "
    Oh, yeah, I have no doubt.

    ^ Good post, Reggie. Either way, I'm looking forward to hearing it.

    Btw, does Australia still sing God Save The Queen?

    Nope, the national anthem in Aussie is 'Advance Australia Fair' I believe. Its a damn sight better than our anthem in NZ which begins with the word 'God'. it was originally a hymn.

    ...and The Rolling Stones may join Mick during this telecast. It's alleged they've rehearsed together in New York and have since moved across the Lincoln Tunnel to a small studio in Weehawken NJ. Film crew has reportedly been brought in to document the sessions.

    Meanwhile, Rolling Stones tickets for a Berlin date in September are currently being advertised through The Guardian newspaper's website in the UK.

    The site has a 'Buy tickets for top events' section featuring the date September 1, 2012 at Olympiastadion, Berlin for a Rolling Stones show. The ad looks legitimate but the official website for Olympiastadion does not list the date.

    The Berlin date is bogus according to the stonesnews.com site. In regards to the recent studio sesions, here's what the same site has to say: 'The sessions in Weehawken are done already. All 4 Stones were there, plus Chuck Leavell and Don Was, who played bass (Darryl is on tour in Europe). Four songs were played, each twice: Miss You, Fool To Cry, Jumping Jack Flash and another unknown one. [thx UC, RO].

    Well, we can safly state, that the preparations for whatever is to come really begin to take shape. More to come, soon!'

    Although there are no sources for this the site has been pretty accurate in the past.
