Exclusive: The Rolling Stones will indeed play 50th anniversary concerts. And I am told they will go on sale this weekendmaybe as soon as Friday. Ticketmaster will handle the sales. All hell is going to break loose, too. What Im told: confirmed dates are November 26 and 27 at the O2 Arena in London. December 15th and 16th are set for the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The dates for the Barclays Center in Brooklyn are coming, but not agreed to yet. This column was first to break the Prudential Center news two weeks ago. We were also first to tell you about Barclays and O2. So whats been the delay? Money, money, money. The Stones want it. Richard Branson is putting up $25 million to make all this happen with concert promoter Paul Dainty. Once all the London-New York shows are sold, look for more dates. You know that Los Angeles and a few other big cities are guaranteed in 2013.

Can’t find the (ORIGINAL) Gibson Bros. version from 1985 in Columbus Ohio (live album).
Plant was onstage with Buddy Miller and John Paul Jones was onstage with Giant Sand at a music festival I attended.
How come musicians don’t sell mp3 files at their shows? They sell CDs and posters and t-shirts.
It may have been a reaction to criticism LZ got for borrowing delta blues riffs early in their career.
There is a hiccup in the sound around 3:00 which my paranoid mind tells me may be intended as a signature mark for “illegally” downoaded MP3s.
Other than that the lyric is really embarrasingly bad for a Jagger piece of work.
When it comes to white boys playing the blues now, take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPOC-RC3j3Q
The full Chess sessions, 2 record set.
John Peel the English DJ declared that the best Stones album was actually their first British LP.
Nice! Do you know those guys?
I had the British version on CD (before I think it was even released in America as any version) and then the first four albums (some mono) as the British versions (on vinyl) as well.
They only have 1 original on the first album, if I recall correctly.
