  1. Stumbled on this post in a vintage Boston group. I think folks here will enjoy this...

    Boston, July 18, 1972.

    The Rolling Stones were supposed to play the Boston Garden that night. Fifteen thousand people were already inside, waiting for Mick, Keith and the boys to show up. Only problem was, the Stones weren't anywhere near Boston. Fog had forced their plane to land at T.F. Green in Rhode Island, and while they were waiting to get out of there, an altercation with police ended with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and three others getting hauled off to jail. Meanwhile, back at the Garden, 15,000 people were sitting around wondering what the hell was going on.

    Stevie Wonder kept playing to buy some time, but everybody knew nobody had come to the Garden that night just to see Stevie. Boston was also dealing with trouble in the South End, so Mayor Kevin White had a decision to make. He needed his cops in the streets, but he also had a Garden full of angry Stones fans who had been waiting all night. So White went down there himself and started making calls. Somehow he got the Stones sprung from the Rhode Island lockup on $50 bail and into his personal custody.

    Then the mayor walked onto the Garden stage, sleeves rolled up and tie loosened, and told 15,000 people, “The Stones have been busted, but I have sprung them!” The place went nuts. White arranged for the MBTA to stay open late, kept the crowd occupied while the Stones headed north with a police escort, and at one point was even throwing a football into the stands. You couldn't make this stuff up.

    The Stones finally hit the Garden stage around 12:45 in the morning and played until after 2. They were hours late, but the crowd was still there. Nobody went home empty-handed, and Boston avoided what could have been one hell of a mess.

    That's the kind of Boston story I love. No fancy press conference. No committee meeting. Just Kevin White walking into a packed Garden full of pissed-off people and basically saying, “Relax. They're coming.”

    And somehow, the mayor pulled it off.

    The Stones played. The crowd went home happy and Boston got one hell of a story.

  2. #nowplaying Picked this up on sale for €60. The listing said there was an Atmos mix included but oddly I couldn’t find anything on the packaging of the box or book or blu-ray that said there was an Atmos mix. Anyways, there is. In other news, I now have a disc player that can handle Atmos. I have a backlog to get through. #atmos #rollingstones

  13. Jamming with Edward (Rolling Stones Records COC-39100, 1972)

    I file this under Rolling Stones, but it’s just Mick, Bill and Charlie with Nicky Hopkins and Ry Cooder. It’s a mess but it’s as good as a lot of boots of Exile outtakes I’ve heard. Recorded in 1969 when these guys could do no wrong, they attempt to challenge that idea.

  15. Bash & Pop - Friday Night is Killing Me

    Chris Mars may have released the best post-Mats album, but Tommy Stinson did the second best as Bash & Pop.

    Stinson (who switched to guitar) and crew are kind of doing their best 70s Stones (or maybe Faces) pastiche, and I'm here for it.

    Bash & Pop looked like a 1993 one-off, but he brought them back in 2017...
