Great weather. My Stones love started just before their 1981 tour, and when I get 'into' a band, I really go all out, personalities, stories, urban legends, you name it. The Stones did not disappoint.<br /><br />I'm like Karen, I typically rely on CD purchases. I've only had a iPod Classic for 8yrs now (getting ready to upgrade to a newer system..), and I haven't done that many purchases with iTunes. Have saved some money by doing it, but somehow my early purchases of classic sci-fi television episodes (LIS, Galactica) have disappeared. Oh well...<br /><br />Will plan on some magnitude of purchasing this project, but STILL peeved at the latest tour name.<br /><br />Zipcode.<br /><br />Whaaaaat the &#&@# kinda name is that..? I thought 'Bigger Bang' was odd enough (when I finally saw them in concert..), but 'Zipcode'..?<br /><br />Frankly to me, 'Voodoo Lounge' was probably their last 'cool tour name' I can recall.<br /><br />Zipcode..? sheesh. <br /><br />What, followed by their rockin' 'Dewey Decimal System' tour coming Summer of 2018..?david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-54098211925531626972015-06-21T06:25:13.171-05:002015-06-21T06:25:13.171-05:00It took me longer than most to appreciate the Ston...It took me longer than most to appreciate the Stones. Glad I made the effort some years ago to catch both the Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge tours. Then, even later, I started to really delve into their classic albums. With posts like these I learn even more. I'm glad music has a place at BAB. -JJJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053716133555080531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-42552466080461533682015-06-18T19:43:06.618-05:002015-06-18T19:43:06.618-05:00The version with the Leeds concert is the one I go...The version with the Leeds concert is the one I got. Well worth the extra few bucks. As for digital vs cd, my strategy is to buy the CDs and burn them, then let them build up and trade in for credit at the LCS which also sells Used CDs. I then use the credit to pick up a hardcover, usually a Masterworks Variant cover edition.<br /><br />Ace the Bat HoundAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-35655192199206459482015-06-18T18:29:11.848-05:002015-06-18T18:29:11.848-05:00I haven't heard this yet.

Most of the time when a band releases an expanded edition of an old album, it's interesting to hear the alternate versions of songs you know, but you usually see why they opted for the version on the original album. Still, it's pretty neat to hear different takes. The remastered sound on a lot of these is sort of hit and miss. Sometimes they clean things up too much. If it ain't broke, don't break it.<br /><br />Karen, I do the same as you when buying new music.......get the CD and then download the songs to my iPod. I still like to have an actual physical product for my money.

I suspect it will be pulled soon. I do plan to go ahead and buy the MP3 version so I can get the whole Leeds performance anyway. I'm impressed with the sound quality and also the performances. The Stones have done a very good job with this reissue. I have to say I haven't been as impressed with the recent Led Zeppelin reissues. It feels like Jimmy Page is going to the back of the shed -or maybe the back of his neighbor's shed -to come up with tapes we haven't heard. Just not very exciting. <br /><br />After years of buying my music digitally I am back to frequently getting CDs and then downloading them, mainly because iTunes has managed to screw up about 60% of the music I have downloaded from them, which is quite a lot. For whatever reason, there's a problem with files skipping or getting corrupted and after nearly two years of trying to get it fixed, I'm at the end of my rope. I'm done with it. I'd rather accumulate the discs and at least have a hard copy around to re-load if need be. Trying to go back and re-download songs from iTunes has been a nightmare. And now I am on an Android device, so there have been file format issues...Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032477453891087135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-68481500758023395012015-06-18T10:15:27.238-05:002015-06-18T10:15:27.238-05:00Funny how reissues appear as ever more deluxe box ...Funny how reissues appear as ever more deluxe box sets just as most people have stopped consuming music in a physical form. I wonder how many of the vinyl lps from that set will ever actually be played....<br /><br />But it doesn't seem like much of a rip if you can get it all in much cheaper formats (or even for free on youtube or whatever). I mean, its not like you're missing out on anything if you don't want to spend $152. I'm not much into the Stones, but I can't see myself spending that much - more, actually, what with shipping or import prices - for an album by anyone. But each to their own.<br /><br />I guess you could be critical of this as an instance of a backward looking music biz focussed on regularly selling essentially the same back catalogue material, drawing its resources away from developing new artists...?<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5293155946761960913.post-40234499285876729432015-06-18T09:03:09.341-05:002015-06-18T09:03:09.341-05:00The Stones are great and have such a large amazing...The Stones are great and have such a large amazing catalog. I saw them live about 16 years ago. Honestly the best concert I have ever attended; I love the band, but had no idea their live show would be so great (especially in that era of their career). I was amazed then how energetic their concert was. In Chicago, they had the main stage and a runway down to the mid/back of the stadium with a smaller center stage set up. For part of the concert they moved and played to the crowd in the back. Everything sounded great and Richards had some nice changes throughout. I've always thought Charlie Watts was underappreciated and it was great to see him live. Even being about 25 years his junior, there was no way I could have kept up with Jagger. He never stopped moving. And they played a long time, with a long encore as well. I thought that "You Can't Always get What You Want" was awesome.<br /><br />It is amazing what you can get nowadays for under $20. We've come a long way from the initial CD and Album costs (relatively).<br /><br />Glad to know this is out there.

In the pre-internet days, I remember music journalists heaping praise on the alternate/Clapton version of that song. But when I tracked it down a few years ago, I thought Clapton was just doing his own thing, not really playing with the rest of the band, not adding a lot. <br /><br />But I probably will pick up the mp3s of this set, for the live tracks, since I already own 'Sticky Fingers'. I think the CD I own was the 3rd of the 9 reissues. J.A.

I know it's kind of like cheating, but someone <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hj04ed1uWUs" rel="nofollow">posted the entire set from the SuperDeluxe Edition on YouTube</a>. I was just listening to it. You're right: it is spectacular, and "Midnight Rambler" is easily the best track (I like the other live version, too, but this one is no less awesome.Edo Bosnarnoreply@blogger.com
