@MN5 The three times I've seen them in the last decade have always been at the Powerstation, so I suppose that's their draw in NZ. They were really good, and hearing an album in full is always a unique experience. I would have liked to hear a couple of songs from later albums but they don't play those.

Yeah I remember that album well, came in a red CD case ?
Doug Wimbish is a fucken incredible bass player, particularly on the first track ( he’s a guy I tend not to think of too much though )
Jesus, THIRTY years old…….

Daryl Hall (maybe the best rock singer of all time) did spend his senior years trying to be some kind of old blond Jim Morrison, but he also recorded incredibly good live sets with younger bands (over 10 years ago).

To be a slight pedant I think it was an orange case.
How do you rate Muzz Skillings as a bassist?

Wrong
He’d be about the same. Outstanding and underrated.

Even if you don't like the band, the video is worth watching.
A hot chick comfortably young enough to be their granddaughter is always a sure fire video winner.
I do like quite a bit of the stones stuff, I think they’re colossally overrated in general but I have to take my hat off to them for releasing stuff over SIXTY years after their first recordings……that is exceptional longevity.

@MN5 Well it wasn't embarrassing which it could have been, given their age and unreal lives.
In fact, it shows a lot of energy for a bunch of octogenarians. Much more so than a lot of their successors who are now also on the endless, greatest hits, touring circus.
However, the fact that critics are calling it their best single in 40 years only highlights that this will be their 5th studio album in that time. Well, since Undercover was released in late 1983.
If they continue in this vein, Hackney Diamonds might even turn out to maybe be their 15th best album.

I get the sentiment, but it has to be put into perspective.
Will Lomu be massively over-rated if we start churning out bigger, faster, more powerful and skillful wingers? The Stones (& Beatles who I know you have no time for) have to be considered for their legacy. The way they changed music. Sure, a lot of their classics are pretty moderate now but without them a lot of the music that came later that you do admire simply wouldn't exist.

Not arguing that, I just don’t see it but I take the point that loads of groups I love were influenced by them.
….but I just think groups that came ever so slightly after them ( Zep, Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Doors to name a few ) were infinitely better.

They didn't win the Mercury Prize last night but had the performance of the night IMHO
