it reads like an abkco press release ffskinda horrifying to think that boomer classics not only never faded away after release but now we get to live through yet another revival as the barely-animated corpses who wrote those classics squeeze some more cash out of them for their 50th anniversaries

Fwiw, this isn't even the first time "She's A Rainbow" has been used in ads. Apple licensed it to help launch the iMac, which was where I first heard the song.

Yeah, I was gonna say I remembered it on some advert at the back end of the '90s/beginning of the '00s, but couldn't remember what it was for. Also recall 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' on another ad around the same time.

Ok this might be a hot take and I like the Stones but...have they ever been great live? Like maybe in the Jones era in the 60s? Whenever I dip into even peak-era live stuff I am always disappointed

Some Girls 78! Yes. Love that.
The thing is, live Stones rarely have the transcendent quality live like, say, The Who had for so long.
― Infidels, Like Dylan In The Eighties (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 18:22 (six years ago)
that is very true. I think the Stones def were way better in the studio than they ever were live. Or at least the studio showed off their arrangements a lot better.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 18:25 (six years ago)
if that 1978 set is the small club gig I'm thinking of, it's fantastic

Yeah, The Who were four individuals that always used to somehow coalesce into one unstoppable entity such was the degree to which they could somehow read each others minds musically.
With The Stones, they were always sloppy - they either somehow managed to sloppily make it come together or make an awful hash of it, depending on what mood they were in.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 18:41 (six years ago)
Also, The Who had a superior rhythm section - their bassist is one of the greatest rock bassists of all time and they had a drummer that didn't sound lumpen and could actually perform a good sounding drum fill.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 18:47 (six years ago)
Ok this might be a hot take and I like the Stones but...have they ever been great live?
I was gonna bring this up so glad someone else did cuz I think the answer is actually no, they were never consistently great live, even during their (multiple) peak periods. they were *always* sloppy, occasionally really hitting their stride for great moments, but they were hardly a lean, live performing unit and there are *tons* of shitty performances of theirs widely available that demonstrate this. they were def better in the studio.

I mean when I think about the Stones live I think about two things: one a dude getting killed at a concert & two them getting torched live so bad by the Who that their roadie buried the tape in his barn.

It is just weird to me that a band I love doesn't have a live record from the era that I like more than the studio albums

Every time I contemplate seeing the present-day stones (one "last" chance to see the legends) I think of Buzz Osborne's description:
I could not be bothered to see them live now. I saw them in the early ’80s and it sounded like amplified motocross. They’d literally be halfway through a song before I could tell what it was. “Oh, it’s ‘Satisfaction.’” It was this horrendous cacophony, which is good on one side, but that’s not what they were trying to do.
― Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 18 December 2018 19:48 (six years ago)
The '89 and '94 tours were much better. Everything I've seen of the '81 tour is hopped up and cynical, i.e. "Let's hurry the fuck up, we got chicks and blow waiting."

Tbf Stills also said that "Ohio" was a good song but needed another verse to really be considered a classic song like "For What It's Worth" which was written by Stephen Stills
