Stones - The Brussels Affair
Not sure The Stones have ever been better than on the 73 European tour.

Stones - It's Only Rock 'N Roll
By 74 any remaining believers in the media were heralding this as the final fag-end of the Stones as a vital force. 38 years later (!) it sounds fantastic. If you can listen around Jagger's silly voices then it is worth it for some lovely clavinet and piano moments (from non Stones Preston and Hopkins) and for Mick Taylor's bass on Fingerprint File alone.



I've always liked It's Only Rock 'N Roll, too. I've been listening to a 1979 show (the Keith Richards Benefit) the past few days. It's not great quality, but it's worth a listen. Much rougher around the edges than I would have expected from that era. The closing Jumping Jack Flash is really pretty raw!

Incidentally, the four Stones are apparently making an unlikely appearance on The One Show later this week (Friday I think).




Fantastic. And could it be five Stones, or even six?!
