@dogmeat said in What are you listening to, right now................:
Rolling Stones - Western Springs 1972/3 Sometime over that summer.
There was a bit of a whinge the next day because they only played a bit under an hour - but it was the Stones maaaaan
How's this for a set list
- Brown Sugar
- Bitch
- Rocks Off
- Gimme Shelter
- Happy
- Tumbling Dice
- Love In Vain (Robert Johnson cover)
- Sweet Virginia
- You Can't Always Get What You Want
- All Down The Line
- Midnight Rambler
- Jumping Jack Flash
- Street Fighting Man
Exile era Stones - the oldies all thought Satan had taken over NZ - it was fantastic. Although it was a small stage, no screens and the sound was … not great. But before the big overblown production concerts - great first concert ever.
72/73 was the stones best era , sticky fingers and exile on main street Their best work imo , and their live performances had a dangerous raw edge . I saw them years later , the next time they came back to australasia. But would walk a mile over broken glass to see them in 72/73

Mick Taylor days eh?
Personally I rate Ronnie better.
If I was old enough to care in ‘72 I would have chosen a Faces gig over a Stones ones. -

But love them now

@Crucial Ronnie suits the bands vibe much better (although the Stones did turn Taylor from a hug a tree vege into a strung out smack addict in a few short years) but Taylor was the better guitarist. Great blues man with a real melodic touch. A virtuoso. Played through the Stones Let It Bleed / Sticky Fingers / Exile creative peak.
Ronnies great - I don't think the Stones would have survived without him he grounds the Jagger Richards friction - but lets face it the Stones have been largely irrelevant except as a cash cow for the best part of 40 years now.
Faces had a great line up of gifted musicians but its telling I think that they all did better post band. Albums were all a bit patchy but yeah would have been great live - real good time pub rock type of feel.
They came here I think just before they broke up. Don't know why I didn't go but probably the Rod Stewart thing.

On my run last night i selected the "Gatecrasher Classics" playlist, sort of our of the blue. Holy fuck, so good. I found myself numerous times running along with a dopey grin on my face remembering some fucking great times in the late 90s/very early 2000s
And so it's 90s trance music all day today
Incidentally, that high energy trance music makes you run a bit quick without you knowing it

I wouldn’t say Taylor was the better player full stop. Maybe showcased better in the RS’s though.
Ronnie plays a very ‘quiet’ lead to Keith’s rhythm like he is happy in the shadows. His playing away from the Stones is much more complete. He is best playing a rhythm/lead combo by himself (which he had to do on occasion in the Stones when Keef was having a sloppy night)
When Keef guested with the Faces, the combo sounded very different. -

I love Gimme Shelter, favourite stones song.

I am late to the party, but it's only been the last couple of weeks where I have finally realise how talented the Rolling Stones are. Up until now I always wondered what people saw in them. I love that they can nail songs as diverse as Gimme Shelter and Faraway Eyes.

When Keef guested with the Faces, the combo sounded very different.Me picking 72/73 as their best era wasnt so much Taylor vs Wood ,I forgot to get back to that point , just thought they released their best stuff around then , and probably had more to do with song writing as anything ,
And I think also the introduction of Bobby Keys , horns was a big part of that new fuller sound , Sticky fingers is probably my favorite stones album , then Exile on main street ,both had Taylor , but im not saying he is the reason , then Black and Blue ( Ronny Wood on that one ) .
-
My favourite stones song probably changes from year to year , right now id probably pick this ,
-
@kiwiinmelb It never changes for me. Paint It Black. Followed by Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker).
-
if I had a time machine , these are the stones gigs im going to see

Agree on Sticky Fingers but that was ‘71.
The visit to Muscle Shoals got some good stuff out of them. -
