Browsing the archives for the rolling stones tag
I like it that the Stones are delving through the archives, and releasing some of the cool stuff they find. Things like the expanded Exile On Main Street, or Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones (1972 concert film) are actually worth the release. They have a vitality that’s their own. The latest Rolling Stones release, [...]
Jimmy Page And Ron Wood Sound Great Together Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) is old friends with Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), to the point of sharing Ronnie’s spouse for a time. Yes, it was the ’70′s. It was 2/13/75 in Uniondale, NY. Led Zeppelin (I believe they were some sort of sporting team. Lawn darts, I [...]
With this song the Rolling Stones achieved Beatles been unable to. The Beatles tried to be dark with Helter Skelter, but Paul couldn’t unclench enough to get that cthonic, and John’s demons were much too personal to name check the blitzkrieg. The Stones gazed into the abyss, and let the abyss gaze into them, and [...]
Remember back in 1977, when Keith Richards got busted for heroin? He was going to see some prison time, but the Canadian government gave him an out. He had to play a benefit concert for the blind. There’s a great story behind it. Read Keef’s autobiography. It’s awesome and pathetic, then awesome again. Watch The [...]
Happy Free Download Friday, my dear people of Youdopia. I haven’t had anything ready (ripped, tagged, converted to mp3, zipped, and uploaded) for a couple of weeks, so I let you starve. That’s how I am. The grey skies are gonna clear up, so put on a happy face. I have a great show for [...]
I took an online test to self diagnose adult ADHD. If you scored a 11 or higher, you should “talk to your doctor”. I got a 23, Youdopia. I say this because that is how I found this video. Someone on my favorite Led Zeppelin forum posted a link to Keith Richards talking about.. something.. [...]
Happy Saturday, Youdopia. In honor of our happy pappy, Saturn, that jolly old elf (thud) I offer you a Rolling Stones concert from the absolute high point of their career. It’s called Lost Brussels (this version anyway) and it is, by far, the most popular, and common, Stones live recording. Click the pic to read [...]
Howdy, Youdopia. Yesterday I wrote about the upcoming reissue of Exile On Main St, by the Rolling Stones. I also posted the trailer to Stones In Exile, the documentary about the making of one of the greatest rock albums ever. Today I bring you a sampler of the bonus tracks that will be included in [...]
This is big news, Youdopia. As you may know, Exile On Main Street is one of the greatest rock and roll albums ever. It is the shimmering high point of the Stones’ golden age of 1968-1973 (also known as the Mick Taylor era). Exile on Main Street is being re-released, with 10 bonus tracks never [...]
Youdopia, I love music. I love music with soul. It’s trite, but the Rolling Stones once were amazing. This clip from 1972 of the boys doing Sweet Virginia live. The audio is pro mixed stereo, and the performance is outstanding. The Stones at their best. Guess what? It’s the Coolest Shit Ever. Keef rocks, Mick’s [...]
I love this album. I haven’t listened to it in awhile. It’s vital, and raw, and alive, and masterfully done. It’s as soulful as Otis Redding and yet it’s a rock and roll band. In the words of George S Patton, “God help me, I do love it so.” Sticky Fingers and Exile On Main [...]
True Grace is often gritty. The holy spirit is a man of the people. Shakti herself is as much Salomé as Shekinah. It’s all in teh kinetics, the motion, the clapping, not the one hand. Shakti is the vibration of Shiva’s String. Lingam and Yoni fit into String and M theory better than Tao into [...]
