I regret that I've never seen the Stones. Different bands I was in through the years played a lot of their songs.
Satisfaction, The Last Time, It's All Over Now, Jumpin' Jack Flash, You Can't Always Get What You Want, and Tell Me.

Used to love the early stuff.....dont own anything past Its Only Rock n Roll from 1974.
Saw them on Jaggers 32 birthday. 7/26/75 , at IU in Bloomington Indiana. The sound was mediocre as was the performance but they have been known as being not that great live regarding reproducing their music. But it was a big venue designed for sports...and it was fun nevertheless.
A great classic rock band who's best work is long in the past....imho.
I sound like I'm knocking the Stones but I really like all the early music.

Though I love all their 60s hits, my favorite albums are all the Mick Taylor era works, from Let it Bleed to It's Only Rock n Roll, with Exile being my favorite. That said, when Charlie passed, some of the best from NYC put on a show at City Winery - a night of Stones songs. They performed a soulful, emotional version of Fool to Cry. Until then, I hadn't appreciated how good that song was.

Nice post..... Exile On Main St remains this day as a musical achievement of a massive scale. The layers of blues, life experience and scenarios that all the band encountered since birth are dripping from these songs. They all seem to 'fit' together and mark a place and time. Exile is like an abstract painting... it moves and feels different each listening. Maybe what Keith Richards said is true:"it's what we left out on those tracks, makes it great".

Well I waited for a 50th *special edition *.
..but the attention to the tour obviously took the bands time & workload.
I always liked this 1974 offering and it marks as my 'big school time musical backdrop '

Contributions from Willie Weeks and Ron Wood, with wingmen Ollie Brown and Billy Preston were appreciated. This is the album Mick Taylor walked out on- though not said at the time: he was well pissed about not getting song credits (Sway, Can't You Hear Me Knocking, Winter and Time Waits For No One.).. Ron due to having the same hair as Keith was draughted in (lol!)
Cut and mixed in Musicland Studios in Munich (Led Zep, ELO et al..) the lead track I felt was muffled in the final mix... The human riff had wiped off Ron's original guitar break and supplemented his own!

1974 UK TV video

The very original version was penned by Ron Wood and recorded at his house The Wick - which was previously owned by actor John Mills (Pete Townsend lives there now and still Records in Ron's 12 track set-up)
Jagger helping out on Woods first solo album, spied a potential hit and swapped it with Ron for 'I Can Feel The Fire'.... Bowie, jagger, Wood, McClagan, weeks, Stewart were present... but as it was very late, Charlie Watts was tucked up in bed, Rod phoned Kenney Jones at 2:am to come and play the drums - later Charlie graciously kept Jones drum work in the final album mix that we know today... but the Glimmer Twins whisked the tapes off to Sunset Studio's and wiped everything else!
Time Waits For No One.
This was originally earmarked for the 1973's Goat's Head Soup, but as with Through The Lonely Nights, these Jamaican sessions were snipped and used a year later (and in Tattoo You!)
Anyways 50 years-shit!... time is a thief.
