Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds

Not the best recording quality but enjoyable

^ like I initially said 😉

Good, not great considering Flowers, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and The GOAT - Exile on Main Street. I did see them live on the Hackney Diamonds tour - they were fantastic.

The only issue I have is a bunch of 80 year olds doing the same old act.  No real progression of the music that one would expect from a lifetime of new experiences.

Yeah. Funny how close "Hackney" is to hackneyed . . . "lacking significance through having been overused". 

Audi-Owe…if not for the greatness of their earlier work, they would probably never have gotten to the Mick Taylor years.  They were a sensation from the get-go, a grittier, bluesier alternative to The Beatles, with tentpole mega hits like The Last Time, Satisfaction, Paint It Black, and Sympathy For The Devil…before Brian Jones’ passing.  I pick Let It Bleed as the pinnacle, just as Taylor signed on.
