Addition of info: I mention Miss You, and need to point out, per Bill Wyman it was Mick and Billy Preston that came up with the basic track while touring Europe in 1976 , with Billy on Bill's bass.

If I was a filmmaker, hired by the Stones to make the ultimate Rolling Stones doc, you'd be the first call I'd make. You've done it again sir! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@FlipSideCT]

LOL, thank you!! I would hope maybe one day I am asked to assist to put something together. The reason being, to get access to even more info that we do NOT know of. Happy TDAY also! cheers

[@greatunz67]

meh.. some interesting stuff brought up, but it's mostly stories that any longtime Stones fan already knows, he comes across a little too drooling fanboy to do a serious doc. The el mocambo stuff was ok, but the rest of love you live was their weakest live album up to that point, this was when they began to play everything like it was on 45rpm, too fast and sloppy, a trend that continued to this day. Their 73 era tour with Mick Taylor was by far the greatest the Stones ever played or sounded, it astounds me they never officially released any of those much bootleged live shows back in the day.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@greatunz67 this doc is totally not your speed. It is not meant for you. I recommend not watching any of my videos. Not here to battle with you, but you seem to know plenty. My work efforts are for a Stones fan that appreciates the Stones throughout, not a part timer. When you post something positive or productive let me know!

[@patrickdunning9820]

I wouldn't, I'd get a British dude, or at least someone that can pronounce the names of the various towns our hero keeps getting busted in, sorry, but to a Brit, it's a glaring error. Still pretty good though. P

[@jellobiafra2810]

@@greatunz67 I'm fron Detroit (blow the reveille)! You're not alone in dissing 'Love You Live'. - The _'pacing'._ - The somewhat _'lazy'_ delivery by Jagger. Christgau: "....like he can't be bothered to touch the roof of his mouth with his tongue." (LoL~°) And, it isn't _'quite'_ as good as 'GYYY's'. (or, the 'Ladies & Gentlemen..' soundtrack) I've always believed The Stones are victims of their own catalog. I've always felt it was mis-guided to judge them that way (studio LPs, too). *In 1977:* What live album was better? When I played this in my backyard for my BBQ parties; It was a *BIG HIT!* (IMPO) El Macombo is worth the price of admission alone! Having seen the '75 tour; I thought the whole album was GREAT! (still do) As far as this video author's delivery; After 50 years of listening to aloof, _'disconnected'_ journalists ramble on; I find FlipSideCT's delivery refreshing. 'By-a-fan'/'For-the-fans' More _'conversational'._ e.g. He showed 8 'Keef-books' (inc. Woody's). I've read six. Some (FlipSideCT fans) read three. Or, even just one. You probably read all eight! But, the optics/combined with little gems like the 'fan-bus' tidbit are enjoyable. Have you seen his 'Let It Bleed' (1-2-3)? Or, 'Black 'n Blue' (1-2-3)? You've entered a very cool place. *Give it another chance.* You might like it! Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

I won the CHUM FM contest and took my buddy to the Saturday show. We each wrote in and agreed to take each other.Paul had a beer with Maggie Trudeau and spent the evening lighting Bill Wyman's girlfriend Astrid's cigarettes. After the show, Ted Newman Jones (Keith's guitar tech) let me look at Keith's 5 string Zemaitis guitar. Ted let me stand with him in front of Keith for a song and when it finished, Keith took a large swig from the bottle of Rebel Yell on his amp. With a smile, he quipped, "Got through that one".

I stood in a long line on a cold and wet day in Toronto waiting to buy tickets for that benefit show. After about 6 hours we were next to get inside the doors to buy tickets. The door opened and we heard two words we didn’t want to hear. Sold Out. Great video Steve !

[@FlipSideCT]

oh no!!!! that is tough to take......and probably not easy to get a scalp ticket. I saw them a few days later at MSG. thanks for sharing and letting me know!!

[@tinaferrazzoli8006]

Hello Steve; Once again kudos for creating an above average documentary. One cannot appreciate the amount of time & effort taken to properly research, write, & piece together a visual period document focusing on Keith's career & that of the Rolling Stones. Taking the viewer thru Keith's arrest & the Stones performance at Toronto's El Mocambo club. Segueing into the Stones recording sessions, Keith's court appearance, the bail, & press coverage. Good job, informative & well explained in the context of the video. Looking forward to part 2. Take Care. Tina & Pat!~

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you T&P......so well appreciated. You know it.....the last thing I want to do after spending my work day of deep detail problem solving is having to do more work later in the evening. This was a tough one, to layout, make sense and stay in control of the flow. thank you for noticing this. I never pursued this key time before because of the complexity. Now it all ties in. I really want folks to know how much these events led to the birth of Some Girls ...all my best!!

[@zilefn9212]

Steve, yeah, I'm pleased ... This is great, so lovingly done and put together. Thank you yet again! When the band was at Nellcote recording Exile, there's a story of Keith sitting on the floor as the rest of the band started playing Bitch. Keith got someone to hand him a guitar and joined in. I think it was Andy Johns who said something like "Right away, you knew why Keith Richards is so important to the Stones". When you hear Route 66 @ El Mocambo, you know what Andy heard that day. I too hope they will one day release the whole show. They probably never will, as we have 4 tracks already, but who knows? Again, outstanding job, thanks.

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you for letting me know. thanks for sharing your story. Who knows who owns the rights to the 77' tapes now. IT would surely be die hards that would be first in line to buy this. cheers

[@jmad627]

The "El Mocambo" side is the only side of "Love It Live" that I ever listen to. Would love to hear the whole show. To my ears it’s the true essence of The Rolling Stones.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@jmad627 the quality and sound and overdubs really helped these out.

[@tonym994]

I have the single right here. w/ Brown Sugar .it's worthless ,especially w/ a crack across it, but I like owning it. and Andy Johns was dead on! this was the era when they really were the greatest R&R band in the World. Brown Sugar/Bitch. Jagger was a serious recording artist in a studio. not legendary live usually, but a small venue will bring out the best in a band.

[@kevinsullivan8570]

Actually the full concert (Night Two only, as the first was too loud and ruined the taping) is available on bootleg. Those 4 tracks are the only ones sonically good enough to put out.

[@joshjuanfifarek7382]

So the bootlegs often referred to as Keith Richards Toronto Recordings….or variations of…. Are absolutely beautiful and a fav amongst true fans…. These recordings should definitely have an official release they are soo good. Anyone who enjoys Keith’s voice even a bit will love this period of his stuff. Almost all piano and sounding like Keith alone in a room singing very emotional and thoughtful. Please release these recordings of an historic period that was just about the end of the Stones.

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks for sharing. Agreed. Soundboard quality is the way for sure. The boots are just so tinny sounding. Keith's vocals on recent Waiting for the Man is fabulous.

Great job man , I haven’t seen such detailed and glamourless way to present a band. You just say it like it is , and your casual ,laid back and humble way to present is class act. You also do something great , you get so deep into the nitty gritty that you make us appreciate things we didn’t maybe value before. I wish they were documentaties of this value about Springsteen and the Grateful Dead ( my favorite artists)

[@FlipSideCT]

Cool David, thank you for those comments and observations. I do not have an ego and take it in as, my thought out strategy and approach when I started these was correct, and many did enjoy what I did. So I love it that it clicked with many. More for the fans to share and learn and to say " I did not know that". I wished someone would do this method for Springsteen / Dead / Who.

My grade 10 math teacher saw Stevie Ray Vaughan at the El Mocambo in 83 and got one of his guitar picks. He brought it in one day and showed the class which was great. I love your Stones videos. They're always incredibly informative.

@@FlipSideCT I redid my first comment cause I figured you probably knew the El Mocambo is still open. I'm looking forward to your next Stones video.

A big thumbs up FlipSide for these Stones docs especially this one, pure gold I say, brings me back to November '78 before CD'S came on the market London Capital Radio had an hour Keith interview to promote Barbara Charone' Keith book, anyway I got the said program taped on metal head cassette which I put safely on top of wardrobe however never got to hear it as my wife took it down n gave it to my new born son ( she only told me a week later, needless to say I'v never forgiven her) Thanks and keep em coming.

Thanks for all your good work! Reading Chet Flippo's book is essential, imo. Most of what I ever knew about the Toronto trial came from CREEM magazine and Hit Parader.

[@FlipSideCT]

yes, he was a straight shooter, but got caught up with Jan W's bs. We all did not have much to go with at this time, which is why making this gave me a good insight. thank you!!

[@jgm4661]

Thanks Steve for all your work again drawing all the material about the band during that time from all the sources available and compiling it into another delightful and concise summary for us . Being from the area too it is fun seeing many of the familiar landmarks. Eaton's went bankrupt years ago and back in the day if was the Harbour Castle Hilton actually now Westin Harbour Castle. Visited a friend living in an apartment there a few times (well after Keith lol) Beautiful hotel overlooking the TO islands, the Royal Canadian Yacht club and Lake Ontario

Thanks, I was in the Navy at this time, doing things I wish I wasn't doing. All I heard about this was Keef got busted with an oz of heroin, later he was ordered to do a concert with the "New or Young Barbarians" such a long time ago. Granted the Beatles were great, but for me the Stones were the ones. Loved their raw, bluesy style, & when they wanted to rock, they could most definitely rock. Followed them "The Last Time" up till just a few years ago. (Yup I'm that old). Really enjoying this, you're filling in a lot of gaps. Of course I was still grieving Tommy Bolin's demise, in Dec 1976. The things I was doing back then, it's a miracle I'm here to comment.

Dude!! I have been down with Covid for a week, and I have been BOMBING your videos, particularly the Stones content. Great, great stuff you have here. I have never seen such insight. Thank you for all of these. I finally had to comment. As a Stones fan, and as a CANADIAN, this made me angry and ashamed. I remember when this was going on when I was a kid. I was pretty young, but I was a music geek since I was still wet behind the ears, and always on the side of the outlaw. As it happens, I'm in the middle of a nasty divorce, and my regard for the Canadian legal system is at an all time low. Like a friend of mine said recently (a lawyer, actually): "Canada doesn't have a JUSTICE system; it has a LEGAL system"... Anyway, thanks again for the hours of entertainment.

You are doing some great work with a level head and eyes wide open. The UK produced some of the greatest bands in the blink of an eye in history that reverberates to this day. It is never lost on me and what a reminder. They were the gateway to my American culture born of pain and joy. I just finished part two of Get Back and then found your new gem. Thank you.

Finally got round to watching this on my flat screen TV. This documentary is fascinating to me. I felt as if I was reading a biography as I saw the story being told on the screen. You have put in a yeoman’s effort in accumulating this amount and degree of detail. I feel this is reaching a heightened degree of entertainment! Ditto this for Part 2 as well. Also just completed Part 1 of the making of Some Girls LP. I feel like I’m reliving memories of that time, since I saw the Stones perform on that tour in person. (I’ve actually seen them perform live seven times over a forty year period.). Kudos to you!

[@FlipSideCT]

very cool to read, and you surely got it and a true fan! This is one of my favorites, as I never knew all the details and just heard all the rumors. So I learned plenty also. Some Girls also. Enjoy these ! I am working on my next project the STP 72' tour. Very deep in detail and will be in few parts. But note: I will be releasing Part 1 to the public and then Part 2 (3?) to Donators only at first. No idea when for public if I even do. thanks again!

When I was leaving Florida, I settled back into my seat on Amtrak and turned my iPad on. Well, I got a really great surprise. Your latest masterpiece came on the screen. The - ‘ 77(part one). I was so happy to see this !!! This was such an interesting and just crazy time in the Rolling Stones history. You really covered part one well my friend. You touched on everything that a stones fan should know and could ask for! You know? On your last one, black and blue port three. One of your subscribers mentioned that the stones should probably be watching your documentaries and you should get some kind of recognition, like maybe Keith sign one of your guitars or even mick or Ronnie maybe sign a couple of your album covers for you. You know, For all the dedication, hard work, love and respect for the band. Hey, all of it! You really put it out there the way it’s supposed to be done! Well, I agree with that person. You really should be rewarded. Some how. Well, you keep it rockin’ Flipside. You’re the best!!! I can’t wait to see part two of this. All right then, cheers to you! And I’ll talk to you next time.

[@FlipSideCT]

That a fantastic way to see the Stones, with your son. I wished I could afford it and take my daughter.....but she is also in CA. I did catch the Pittsburgh show on a FB feed, and it was a sure treat to see it live. Great to hear that iWhat a great and cool response for me to see. Thank you for all those comments! Hanging out with Keith who lives 2 towns away from me would be my wish of a pat on the back. But it is so gratifying to see the joy of Stones fans watching these and digging my projects. I always the one in the crowd to bring on the Stones. Thanks again for all.....listening to Lost & Found 2nd album of Tattoo You release, and enjoying it. all the best! cheers

[@dondamon4669]

Your the best on the Rolling Stones and this really shows being a wild rocker ain’t all it’s cracked up to be!

[@FlipSideCT]

TY!! lol, most of us would not sell our soul for this...

[@TimoVERSION]

I continue to enjoy your commentaries, and continue to thank you! I always hear a tidbit I didn't know, or considered differently and I'm fairly well versed. I knew Mick had written Miss You (largely), but always assumed it was Ian MacLagan who gave it that special electric piano sauce, but it makes much more sense that the keyboard origins were more likely Billy Preston...I can see it in a lineage from 100 Years Ago, Melody and Fool To Cry, among others. I've also read that the El Mocambo recordings were heavily overdubbed...except for Around And Around, perhaps. I wonder if your research yielded some information about that, but yes, let's get the tapes cleaned up and released!

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you very much for supporting and commenting. Mick in one interviewed talked about it and the 4/4 shuffle beat with Billy. Makes total sense.....then add Charlie to add the 4/4. I heard similar about LYL but, then again I heard not much as thought. So I did not expand much on that topic other then what I learned, but still researching and digging more on that. There are no books or interviews that I find reliable details on this, just in forums which I do not always go with. thanks for the geekiness!

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! How 'bout a little perspective. guys? Live R&R albums in the '70s were HEAVILY treated. Some more/Some less. I don't know percentages here. But, I saw the tour (twice). The LIVE live sound was the best I'd ever heard up to that point. So, I think: *Less Than* (some? most?) others. Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

[@Paneeks1960]

"Booze and pills and powders. You could choose your medicine". Now if you read a lot of the Stoned supposed official lyrics online they say the second line is "It's another goodbye to another good friend". I say its wrong. What I think that Keith is saying is "It's another good buzz and another good friend". Hey there Steve. What can I say? You outdid yourself once again. Is it possible that your investigating, research and writing gets better and better with each new Doc? I truly could not picture Keith's addictions until I saw a bootleg video of Cocksucker Blues. It was real and in your face. The way that you did the timeline on this was superb. There was so many things that I never knew before. Only detailed so accurately by a real Stones fan. Like yourself. I am really looking forward to part two. You have truly become the go-to Stones Documentarian on You Tube. Turner best step aside. This here is memos from FlipSideCT. Way to go Steve~ Rob/Boston

[@FlipSideCT]

LOL, always making me smile Rob! TY..... What I am seeing with Stones lyrics as I look at them closely, not all the lines seem to be about the Song Title's intentions. They mix it up and use those metaphors. Something they do not seem to do anymore. But.... "gonna walk" was about the arrest and bust, and "let me walk out of this case" trying to send a message, and used brilliantly. that is why I put those lyrics in there. "another good friend" is about Gram. I am still working on this info. Yea, CS Blues was raw and captured the junkie Keith. Keith did say, if I was so out of it as people thought how would I come up with a double album of material for an album like Exile. He even learned to ski at that time. His "junk" was so high grade. I would love to make a authorized doc, not for any fame or fortune but to get hold of archival work that no one gets to see. When I went to see Lou's archive in NYC library, it was so mind blowing and personal and filled with so much information most of the public does not know of or never heard. That is the taste I would like with the Stones. cheers hope you had a fun holiday. cheers steve

This is an unexpected bonus, I was thinking it would be some time 'till the next FlipSideCT Stones documentary and after the wait, it would be (brilliant and well worth waiting for) a Some Girls album review. What was happening in the Stone's camp after Black and Blue? Steve's going to tell you and I for one can find no fault in this extra info between two classic records. I love your style, your manner and your obvious deep relationship with the Rolling Stones and good music in general and will look forward to part 2, and everything you post. Thanks again Steve.

I saw this video a bit ago, and a great story line...just I read somewhere about Keith and how he got into a Mesa Boogie amp, but never heard about how he got on Fenders, and also where is his old amp as I think his name was etched into it?? A thorn in my side as those things I love the story behind his days with a Boogie.

[@FlipSideCT]

Going thru Keith's guitar history is a nice topic. Getting the resource of the exact collection thru time would be tough.....He used Fender very early on, not just in 72'. It was great how he bounced around, and did more as time went on.

If you read Keith's autobiography, he had some powerful people looking after him at times. He claims that men in suits gave him a briefcase full of pharmaceutical quality heroin, but he also claims that after a 70's NY concert he literally went out the back door to some run down building to score on the street. He also writes that he had to shoot his way out when they tried to rob him after he scored!

Another great video Steve. I don’t know what you do for a living, but you could make a zillion doing something along these lines!

My life seemed so incredibly, incredibly, dull being in the orbit of the Stones. Looking forward to part 2. Thanks Steve…you rock.

thank you Ace!! appreciate all that!! I am in an opposite field and work in IT but enjoy and have experience with documentary making.

Another stellar job! Excellent detail and interesting pictures. Speaking of which, the first shot of Eaton's (58:25) is actually from downtown Winnipeg (with the Xmas lights up). It's now the Canada Life Centre where the NHL Jets play. Great memories, both from the hometown picture and, more importantly, the Stones in '77.

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you Dean....thanks for the support and follow up. So much for searching on EATONS TORONTO 1977. thanks for mentioning that , I can let that one slip as it was not a Stones pic.

[@deanjonasson6776]

@@FlipSideCT The Winnipeg pic is definitely not a 'deal breaker' and the subsequent shot is the Eaton's Centre in Toronto. The overall presentation was very engaging. The Margaret Trudeau material was especially interesting. This was a big scandal here in Canada but the details were always murky. She's since written several books about her challenges with mental health. Now her son is our Prime Minister. More important is the significance of Keith's Toronto bust. As you foreshadowed, had it not happened, we probably wouldn't have SOME GIRLS. I'm thinking we might not even have Keith... he was obviously edging towards an overdose. (I'm looking forward to your follow-up program on his rehab and that seminal album.) The El Mocambo material was very engaging. The Stones have been a stadium experience for so long, it's easy to forget that they started off as a club band playing r'n'b. This was again brought home after they released the solid BLUE AND LONESOME album. You're right: they should also be releasing the El Mocambo set(s) as an archival album. Thanks again, Steve. Great work!
