Anyone see the Stones on C4 at the IOW festival?I was under the impression that they were great live, but this was absolutely appalling. They clearly need to retire. I've seen some crap in my time, but this topped it all.Anyone else see it?

(This links to the prior threads.)Time for another volume; I’ll just jump in.This volume starts with late early works, or early middle works, depending on how one looks at it. Mr Schiff falls into the former category, so perhaps that will...
I picked up a used copy of Endless Highway- a tribute to The Band. This was released in conjunction with the rerelease of The Last Waltz.In my humble view, The Last Waltz is the best live album in history and is also the best Rock movie as well.If you...
