Breaking News: Rolling Stones release Fonda Theater show

Sticky Fingers – Live

This morning, without any fanfare, The Rolling Stones released the recording made when they played here May 20th at The Fonda Theater in Hollywood.  Rolling Stones’ fans were calling this club date the “gig to end all club gigs” at the time, and for those who want to find out if this is really true, the “Sticky Fingers” set is presented in its entirety.  This was a very exclusive show, with only a lucky few getting inside to witness it.  Attended by Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson, a handful of lucky fans and myself, this was a very special show even amongst the short list of club gigs the band has played.  This was the only time the band has ever played an entire album.  Does the show live up to the hype?  You be the judge.  Available for download on iTunes www.itunes.com

Rolling Stones plaque 'disgusts' Bill Wyman...

A plaque marking the meeting between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards is to be replaced after The Rolling Stones' former bassist Bill Wyman objected.

The blue plaque, unveiled at Dartford station in February, says the pair "went on to form The Rolling Stones".
But Wyman complained, saying guitarist Brian Jones created The Rolling Stones and enlisted the other members.
"I've never upset a Rolling Stone before but we are going to put it right," said councillor Jeremy Kite.

The plaque unveiled in February says Jagger and Richards formed The Rolling Stones

Jagger and Richards both went to Wentworth Primary School but met up again on platform two of Dartford station in Kent on 17 October 1961.
They bonded over a love of the blues and formed a musical friendship that still endures.
Wyman, who left the band in 1993, told BBC Radio 5 live the plaque was disgusting.
"Mick Jagger and Keith Richards didn't create the Rolling Stones - they were part of The Rolling Stones like all of us," he said.
"Brian Jones wanted to form a blues band and he enlisted each member one by one.
"He gave the name The Rolling Stones, he chose the music and he was the leader."
Guitarist Jones drowned in the swimming pool of his home at Cotchford Farm in Hartfield, East Sussex in 1969 after taking a cocktail of drink and drugs.

Dartford council leader Mr Kite said the plaque was intended to commemorate the meeting of the two Dartford sons, not the formation of The Rolling Stones.
But he said it would be taken down and replaced by another with new wording.
"Accuracy in history is really, really important and we want it to be right," he said.
"We will create a new plaque which makes it clear that this is where Mick met Keith and went on to be part of The Rolling Stones."

Ronnie Wood Photographs To Appear In Exhibition...

Candid Pictures Of Rolling Stones Rocker Ronnie Wood Are Set To Appear In An Exhibition In London In July (15).**Photographer Nathan Browning took the off-duty snaps of the guitarist relaxing at home after a chance meeting with him in 2010 led to the snapper joining the band on tour.
Browning credits Wood, who has battled substance abuse in the past, with helping him kick drink and drugs by introducing him to Narcotics and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings after he blacked out during one concert.
The pictures, which include an image of Wood ironing clothes, will be put on display at the Exhibitionist Hotel in South Kensington, London from 9 July (15).

"Rolling Stones: From The Vault: The Marquee Club Live in 1971"...

The Rolling Stones are really digging deep into the archives with their latest “From the Vault” release, “From the Marquee Club in 1971,” that hits the streets June 23. The show, filmed for American television, is relatively short for a Stones show. It runs only an hour.
Coming a month before the release of the “Sticky Fingers” album, it does include four live versions of its tracks. That includes a rare live version of “I Got the Blues.” It also includes a cover of a song the Stones performed rarely, “Let It Rock.”
The show itself features only eight tracks. Bonus tracks of four outtakes of two of the songs from the set, “I Got the Blues,” and “Bitch,” are also included. The DVD also includes a video of “Brown Sugar” from a 1971 “Top of the Pops” show.
One of the great things about this is that it's with Mick Taylor and from a period when the Stones were at their best. The group's performance, however, looks ragged and tired, which is not all that surprising since they'd just finished their 1971 farewell tour of the UK.
The picture on the SD-Blu Ray looks very good. The set is being released in SD-Blu Ray and CD, DVD and vinyl, and DVD and CD configurations. (A Japanese release adds a CD of “The Brussels Affair”.) But this show really should have been a bonus to a bigger release with a full Mick Taylor show and not left to stand on its own. "Live at the Marquee in 1971" is not a terrible show, but it deserves a better treatment than to be stuck out there all by itself.
