SteveAJones Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 With regard to their 50th Anniversary in 2012 it seems there are a number of options being given some consideration. One is to do nothing, particularly if Mick becomes further engrossed in his ongoing solo activities and/or any of the other principals prove too reluctant to tour. Another option is a massive farewell tour, and a final option is a global pay-per-view live concert. It's hard to believe four years has passed since they last toured together. It remains to be seen if that was for the last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouillon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The book definitely deserved those awards I found it very disappointing, a missed opportunity. Fascinating coverage of the early days, but after the early 70s, the style & content became increasingly tedious, IMO. Just like the music, in fact. For anyone who's interested, someone's upping the complete known recordings including all boots, year by year, over at d*m*n*id - '50 Years of Dirty Work'. He's up to '75 so far - 90gb and counting...I plan to stop after '76, for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom kid Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 ^ The 1981 tour has some pretty good shows, but some terrible ones also, Lousiville comes to mind. The set lists were also filled with a lot of rubbish (imo of course) songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross62 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Keith Richards Saves UK Radio Station By Music-News.com Yesterday at 5:05pm (Sun, 04 Sep 2011 17:05:31 +1000) Keith Richards to the rescue. The Rolling Stones rocker made a donation to the small station on the Isle of Wight in the UK after it was hit by lightning. Generous Keith wrote out a cheque for £3,000 to help repair Angel Radio's transmitter, which was knocked out by bad weather in July. Radio station staff thought it was a prank when they received the cash, but are thrilled the musician has stepped in to help them. "We thought the cheque was a joke. But accountants confirmed it was the real Keith Richards, "Director Bev Webster told British newspaper The Sun. "I've written to say thanks. It is so exciting to think he might be a fan." Angel Radio broadcasts music made before 1969, and it is believed that Keith often tunes in to listen. A spokesman for the 67-year-old has confirmed he made a donation, but has not commented further.

kenog Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) There will be an exhibition of Rolling Stones' photographs, starting on 15 September 2011 at the Proud Gallery in London. The Decca Years: The Rolling Stones 1962-1971 The Decca Years: The Rolling Stones 1962-1971 15th September 23rd October 2011 This September, Proud Chelsea is pleased to be hosting an exhibition of portraits of the Rolling Stones between 1962 and 1971, when they were signed to Decca Records. Including the work of the greatest music photographers such as Gered Mankowitz, Dominique Tarlé and Michael Cooper, to name a few, this exhibition intimately documents the rise to fame of the most charismatic and controversial band of their day and comprises intimate portraits as well as live shots. Highlights include Philip Townsend's earliest known images of the group taken just prior to their signing with Decca records, Gered Mankowitz's renowned photographs capturing their first flush of commercial success in the US, Michael Cooper's highly personal shots taken in Tangiers and the California desert, Ethan Russell's historically important images from the infamous 1969 US tour - culminating in the Altamont debacle - where the Stones were incarnated as 'the Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the world' and finally, Dominique Tarlé's evocative and sensual photographs from Villa Nellecôte in the South of France where Exile on Main Street was recorded. Also included are salacious and amusing shots of Mick and Keith from The Sticky Fingers LP cover session by David Montgomery, Michael Joseph's Hogarthian portraits from the Beggars Banquet shoot in '68 and Jerry Schatzberg's transgressive images of The Stones in drag. Proud Galleries has worked closely with Raj Prem to curate and present this extraordinary exhibition. Prem says: 'I'm delighted to be presenting this historic photographic exhibition at Proud Galleries, comprising iconic images of the Rolling Stones photographed during their most creative and critically acclaimed years. This collection is a visual testament to the cultural ferment between art and music in the 1960's, capturing the Stones from their seminal period as chart topping attractions to their late 60's incarnation as leaders of the counter culture, worshipped as much for their bohemian lifestyle as for their music.'

SteveAJones Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Any word on the rumoured tour for next year Steve? The band met in London on September 7th. Nothing has been confirmed as of yet. One suggestion is for them to do one (or more) pay-per-view telecasts as opposed to another grueling tour. Obviously, New York & London would be the front runners to host these events. I think many were surprised when Mick declined to participate in the Olympics event but it makes sense from a business standpoint. There's really no question they'll do something to celebrate their 50th Anniversary, but their level of ambition remains to be seen. Meanwhile all 17 of the Rolling Stones performances on The Ed Sullivan Show are to be released on November 1. It includes several performances that have never been released, including their final appearance on the variety show on November. 23, 1969. Andrew Solt, of Sofa Entertainment, said: 'The best Rolling Stones TV performances are on these shows. 'On the concert films and on other shows you don't get the same production values, and here the sound is as good as the visuals. 'Groups knew they would appear in front of 35 million people so they rehearsed and made sure they would look good before doing on. Knowing they were playing live on TV made them do their best.'

kenog Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 This is from today's Sun (UK) newspaper. Mick Jagger: No plans for 50th gigs By GARY O’SHEA Published: Today at 00:00 ROLLING Stone Mick Jagger has told fans hoping they will tour for next year's 50th anniversary: "Don't hold your breath." He was seen last week leaving a London meeting with bandmates Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood. But Jagger, 68, quelled rumours the Stones will perform for the first time since 2007 — possibly at the London Olympics. He said: "A band gets trapped. When a band starts as a blues band, it always remains sort of true to that." He is currently working with all-star group SuperHeavy — featuring Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and film composer AR Rahman. Their debut album is out today. Jagger said: "If people like it, we could do a few other things." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gospel Zone Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Promo trailer: Unfortunately the sound on that clip sounds more like the '81 tour than what I'm familiar with how the '78 tour sounded. Odds are the Stones will screw up this release one way or another. They dropped the ball on their Exile On Main St. Deluxe set, DVD release of Ladies And Gentlemen, and Singles (1971-2006) CD set. Why would the Greedy Twins, or excuse me, the Glimmer Twins handle this release any other way? The good news is SOFA Entertainment is releasing the 6 complete Ed Sullivan shows that featured the Stones. http://www.amazon.com/Sullivan-Shows-Starring-Rolling-Stones/dp/B005LJTU7E/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1316188825&sr=8-12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The art to good showing off is not to make it look like you're showing off. The Stones have been doing it for nearly half a century. IMO, after Brian Jones "left", they became an above average blues band, which, when he started the Stones were an exceptional blues band and a hell of a lot more creative. They did some great stuff with Mick Taylor and occasionally with Ron Wood but nothing compared to the Jones era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedcat Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 As much as I loved Mick Taylor with them, I agree about Brian Jones. Listening to those mid 60's albums you really get the sense that creatively they were as good as anybody. Jones was personally responsible for a lot of that, but never received any song writing credits. Maybe being marginalized like that didn't help his drug habit very much either. As much as I've loved the Stones for decades now, I don't like how Mick and Keith conduct their business. Mick Taylor experienced similar during his stay and he left too.
