The Making of EXILE ON MAIN STREET STP 1972 TOUR PART 5 STP 72' Kansas City - Texas - Alabama

[@FlipSideCT]

a major mis info on my part, sorry about that. Jim Price is still with us as of 2024. 32:10 mark. Jim we all love what you did!

[@JillianFischer1]

Just noticed that myself! Thanks for always being so humble, correcting little mistakes from time to time. Your videos are my Stones bread & butter. 😘

[@daveconlin8342]

These docs cover so much info it's surprising there are not more mistakes.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@JillianFischer1 sweet to hear Jillian, thank you! For so much info I gather, I am bound to mis say something. Usually double check many of my stories, some I can not. Taking ownership is what I think every person should do, we are not perfect.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@daveconlin8342 I take so much pride in the compiling of so many sources, making sure they are true, is really the biggest challenge. thank you !

[@blainecartwright574]

This is so cool! Thanks for making these. Best things on the internet. I was just at Nellcote a month ago. My band played Nice and we took a cab there before the show. A local woman said “The Rolling Stones moved away years ago”as she walked by. A very cool day. And great show that night too.

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks Blaine! you are welcome! A pilgrimage all fans need. that comment gotta make you laugh! Their ghosts will never leave! hope you had a great tour!

[@jammakers]

Awesome. What a way to spend a snowy afternoon in Trois Rivieres Quebec Canada. I got some beer and some whiskey and some weed and the Stones on the TV. Thanks a million for this. Your documentaries and insight are priceless. I'm in rock and roll heaven.

[@FlipSideCT]

lol, some additional treats.....it would be interesting to watch for me with a buzz......I just get to analytical. Enjoy enjoy ! thank you for sharing this!!! makes my RnR heaven better!

[@buzzawuzza3743]

This is how you make a video of the worlds greatest rock and roll band!!! ROCK ON! Back in the VHS days we had a bootleg video of the film that was a copy of a copy of a copy but we watched it anyway! The hustler who sold it to us said the Stones wanted to call the movie Cocksucker Blues which cracked us up. Rock on!

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks Buzz. Love it when fans get it!

[@mick1967]

Thank you very much for your great work. ❤ I am a big Stones Fan since at least 45 years. I attended 39 concerts. I’ve read tons of books about my favourite band, but I have never get such details like you present us here. Thank you very much again.

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you Mick for your kind comments and support. Many of us know of the details from reading, but if you are like me, you forget them. The visuals and audio is an aide to help us remember. a pleasure! nice amount of shows seen.....amazing!

[@tonymo6986]

Once again, great work. Great, fantastic memories. Got to see part of this tour with Stones & Stevie on a trip to Philly in July '72 . By the way, unless I read this incorrectly, Jim Price is still alive. (32:10)

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you!! my major screw up! I put that Jim note in the description, thank you

[@tonymo6986]

@FlipSideCT Shit happens. I'll bet if he checks this out he'll get a laugh out of it.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@tonymo6986 yes it does. I take so much pride to deliver accuracy, as long as I take on the accountability, I am sure Jim would laugh also, and appreciate his mention throughout.

[@TheRollingStoness]

As always, no words.. appreciate ur research and hard work..bet u enjoy what u do.

[@FlipSideCT]

lol, yes indeed. I am in awe as I gather my findings, especially the nuggets that are not really out there, and yes, piecing all the components is a blast! But as you mentioned, it is a lot of work. So Thank you for that support and acknowledgment! It means a lot to me to hear the Super fans comment! I am not even sure yet, but may be PART 7. cheers!!

[@thedonwesley5279]

Jesus man Been awhile for me watching you but OMG you still got it like no one else Loving this especially the mention of Richard Elman Uptight My father the artist and his wife Hannah Green the writer a real NYers living in the Village for decades I’m sent by my mother to stay with them for a month to straighten me out my pot smoking at 17 in 73 had gotten out of control.. long story short Elman had apartment sat for my parents in NY while they were in France and as a thanks left them a gift of a Charlie Watts 1972 drum stick which they gave to me Back home in So Cal senior in high school advanced painting class I painted my teenage masterpiece…a 15 foot fresco of 13 Mick Jaggers and over 50 years later it is still there in my home town at LPHS in La Puente There’s more to my story but that’s for another time Love U Man and thanks so much or the work you do & hey Merry Christmas too !!

[@FlipSideCT]

Great story to share, loved it! I don't know much about Elman, but you added to it! Now to get a visual of your painting is all you now need to do. Going to be working on Part 6, but will release the 3.5 hour PART 2 to the public soon, so watch for that! cheers

[@Giggabitten]

I've studied this era of Stones history to the point where I thought there's nothing left to learn. Once again, a FlipSide video turns up and reminds me of what a noob I am! Thank you!

I am sure you are packed with info, so many are. Being a fan and loving the music is most important! Glad you got plenty out of this, thanks for the support!

[@kathleenwilliamson5151]

Steve, the Director of Detail, What a lovely early festive season gift to all of us, so in return, a very hearty and heartfelt thank you. I loved the opening quote about how out of the 200,000 yrs humans have been around, and that we get to live in the same era as the World’s Greatest Rock Band. It was in my first or second year of university that I first was able to see CSB. I saw a poster on my campus around ’83-4, and did a double take as I knew how rare it for there to be a showing. Back then I believe there was an agreement that it could be shown about 4x a year. I even grabbed the poster off the corkboard as a souvenir. A few yrs later I was able to score a VHS copy from an illegal street vendor around the time of the ’89 or ’94 tours. While the quality wasn’t great, I now had my own copy! Woohoo. Then along comes eBay and I eventually got myself a DVD-R version too. Who knows what Jann Wenner was thinking putting Truman Capote on the ’72 tour. Talk about chalk and cheese. Capote was already a tragic mess, with the Swans debacle in the “La Côte Basque, 1965” Esquire article still to come. I do recall him on the classic talk shows of the 1970s and how he appeared to be circling the drain with his alcoholism and self-destruction. It’s so hard to grasp that he and Harper Lee, both literary giants, growing up in the same small Alabama town, as friends. If I was given an ultimatum from the Hells Angels, I think I would have settled with them. The way the band left after Altamont, they should have done a better job smoothing things out. So without pointing fingers, as there is a lot of blame to go around and disastrous, unfortunate circumstances, I’m sure everything could have been done completely behind the scenes so there wouldn’t be further bad press. The concert was a complicated and rushed event, where things got out of control. The A&E show from earlier this year, “The Secrets of the Hells Angels”, even talked about the incident on at least one episode. I think I recall Mick even having to testify in court. Forth Worth really is a golden place for the Stones to play in. Both the filmed shows in ’72 and then ’78 are amongst their best performances, where they are at the top of their game, never mind in different eras as well. I may have missed it but did you label Chris O’Dell’s interview? I only happened to recognise her as I’d just finished her memoir. For anyone who couldn’t get tickets to the ’72 tour, “Ladies and Gentlemen” might have been a better chance and way to see them. You really pulled together an incredible timeline of the versions and releases of that concert film. There is no band in history with the lineup of openers that the Stones have had over the years. So many future Rock Hall of Famers, a plethora of Murderers Row acts. They know how to spot talent on the way up. Loved the “cartoonisation some of the concert shots. Very stylised and cool. And to further your festive season treat, we now get a Part 6 (which I predict may not even end this brilliant doc series that you have created for us) as the tour is only about halfway through. You are the best, Santa Steve! Ho ho ho, and cheers to you and 2025.

[@FlipSideCT]

such a fun comment and pleasure to read (As I always say and mean it). We think alike. Yes CSB was a secured and controlled showing. I actually got a showing in 87 when I lived in Boston, and Robert Frank spoke. I love it when it someone like you that picks up on my details, ie opening comment! ty I was not aware Capote/Lee were town buddies. that is real quirky. I think you are correct, the Stones leaving that 69' HAngels debacle was sort of like leaving someone's house party with out offering to help clean up. Fort Worth 72-78 fabulous. they are so fortunate. I showed a Chris O interview in a prior part and mention her, so I tend not to repeat who she is hoping all pick up on who it was. I really have no idea if PART 7 will needed or not. I say yes, as I want to keep these to 1.5 hours max. cheers and glad I was able to fit down the chimmney and deliver the HO HO HO gifts Happy Everything!

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Steve Flip Side CT Just having a really close look and listen of this video you made. You are definitely getting better and better-so smooth. I can really feel the progression now like a well oiled high precision highly tuned machine. I like the detail of the warm up in Texas and the playing pool and rehearsal. This is detail new for me that I’ve never seen or known about before. I knew nothing more than the live 1972 shows in Texas. My great grandfather was from Texas originally and he was born there. His Daddy moved to Texas from a German speaking area Switzerland

[@FlipSideCT]

nice to hear Greg. The timeline is what is the driver with this, and gathering all the facts to plug in is what it is all about. So you do have some tie in to Texas and Swiss! nice

[@Anorak1795]

I am a native of Kansas and my mother from Kansas City and we never knew about this thank you man

[@FlipSideCT]

lol, I did not realize they stopped just for a few hours for the one quick show. Glad you enjoyed and commented, thanks

Always a pleasure to share with fellow fans, thanks for your time Frank! keep you eye out on more soon!

[@domeniccantiello1895]

Yo, flipside CT!!! Well, you know I was wondering when you were coming back it’s been a while and I know you were very ill for a while. I am glad to see you are back in good shape and you won the battle with your virus! Wow! This one, a perfect example of a real honest to goodness masterpiece. To use an art metaphor this one, a real van Gogh piece.!!!(please don’t go cutting your ear off. you know, a little art, history, humor) . When I really get into watching your videos./docs. It’s always the same thing, Steve. It’s excellence. It’s the enjoyment I get. fantastic! as always. your work brings back a lot of good memories for me I mean, you really capture everything. maybe one of these days you and I will get to meet in person. well, you go ahead and keep it rocking like you always do, flipside! again, I’m glad you’re feeling better now i’ll be sending you a donation very shortly, Steve. and, I always remember you are the very best at what you do. Cheers my friend and I will be in touch very soon.-your friend, Dom🎉 Philly, DC.!

[@FlipSideCT]

Ultra kind words my friend Dom! You are one serious fan, one that digs them deep! I am doing better, and have been for awhile. This has been occupying so much of my time to make this, and glad to have brought it out. I really felt great in what I what was presented here and throughout. enjoy it all!!!! yes, one day to meet!

[@nlights6]

Amazing as always. Thank you! Also, what a crazy version of the electric 'Sweet Black Angel'. Agreed the studio version is way better, but cool to see them try it like that.

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you !!!!! yeah, SBAngel should have been acoustic, but still great to hear it electric.

[@BobbyGass5]

Just super Steve, just super.... By 72 the Stones had turned into a Stadium Band, gone were the raw early years. They were now the greatest rock and roll show in the world, nobody better. I seen them in 72 and you could see rock concerts were a changed venue from now on. Very professional, not just kids playing music on a stage anymore. The innocence of it all was gone. All very Adult and well organized. It was then that I knew that the 60s feeling of rebellion was gone. We got accepted and went corporate. We joined. That was a mistake, just look at the world now. LOL... Great job Steve congratulations....

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you Bobby for all. You are surely one of the true connoisseurs that lived, smelled, tasted and devoured it all. So well appreciated and well said. Yes exactly, the stepping "stone" to it all. The barometer was set. The real beauty for me was the guitar band Keith put together and allowing Taylor to fire it up. Then again, this is also the best Mick was in using his Alter Ego routine. You did go for the ride and what a ride it was! all the best to you my friend!

[@dixielandfarm]

I can't believe that super old guitar tuner! That was so cool to see! Great job as always, Steve! I've actually never watched Ladies and Gentleman because of how poor the quality used to be, a 35mm of a 16mm film telecined into PAL and back into NTSC on a fourth generation bootleg. Probably should see if the remastered version will still bug me (to be fair, years of working in television has made me hypersensitive to this stuff). Sam Kinison! CRAZY!

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank Kris! The newer version of L&G is much better, and I watched the DVD on a 10ft screen.

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Steve flip side CT I’m real glad to see this new documentary of yours up. It’s going to sky rocket in views I’m sure! Just wait for December to be out of the way and people don’t know what to do with themselves in the middle of cold January after the big New Years HARAW and they be looking for to sit down with a good new documentary of yours. But looks like it got a lot of hit already after just one day only! That’s AMAZING !!!! I’m going to be watching IT right now as soon as this message to you is finished! IM GLAD I FOUND IT !!!!!! AND SO NEW!!!!! Fresh off the presses !!!!!!! Gosh Gosh Gosh I got a good story cooking for midnight rambler that I’ve had up in my head for a long long gone time ! - it’s about after slavery in the south and lots of African Americans are still working on their same old jobs but getting paid now and paying for their keep. But they are now technically free men and women walking. I’m not sure what year I’d put this story at but the railroad has become a big thing by this time so a few workers just decide to pack up and leave their jobs and ride the rail on down to New Orleans and then maybe from there head west young man west to California. They can do this now all by riding the rail. This one worker has a girlfriend at the big old farm he works at and they both are from generations of Black Slaves who have worked there. His girlfriend and wife to be gets raped and maybe killed and he makes the decision to leave the farm for good and ride the rail. As the story goes him and her had plans to leave the work farm together but she gets raped and killed before they can make their plan a reality. He makes a break for it after dark one night soon after hearing a train a coming and gets to the tracks. He jumps on and goes to sleep. In the morning he wakes up to find another black man is in the train car with him smoking. That man is known as THE MIDNIGHT RAMBLER! and he’s got a guitar with him too. This man rides the rail too all the time and goes from place to place but he’s got all kinds of money - he’s loaded He tells the young black man don’t worry I’m gonna teach you how it’s all done. This is all after he tells him his story and all… Suddenly The train staff come on to the car and throw them all off the train. The young black man is injured but he is okay from the fall but the man they call the midnight rambler is seriously injured after hitting his head. The train is gone now and the young man stays with the Rambler until he is dead. On his permission just before he dies he passes his identity and everything he has to him and now the young man is the new midnight rambler. Cigarettes Money Watch Gun Knife Clothes Hat Guitar everything. They gonna be looking for me he says , which means they gonna be looking for you! You get it kid! Cause you me now kid ! So watch you do when I die is put my dead body up on the tracks. When train comes it gonna run over me and then you get on. And you ride and you get down to Memphis and you do what I told you and then you go to New Orleans you do exactly what I told you. You me now son You the midnight rambler son ! So he does Layer in the story it turns out his girlfriend wasn’t really dead. She was just in a coma for a while and when she comes out of it she finds her boyfriend gone from the work farm. She leaves the work farm to ride the rail to make her way to New Orleans to look for him. After this the owner of the work farm too goes down there too to look for the both of them. Don’t know how this story ends but it’s a good one and it’s a story about freedom. The same kind of freedom that I hear that song by the Rolling Stones. By Keith R and Mick J By Greg Dettling December 10, 2024 ----------- Quick update Been busy here Got the new winter tires on the car tomorrow morning. Soon be going home for Christmas. Must gonna take 80-100 driving hours I didn’t know that you play guitar. I’m not one to ask for requests. I take requests but I don’t expect others to. But be cool to see you play a few licks on KZbin Steve ! Just as a COOL bonus sort of thing. I can’t play anything but air guitar ( that’s my joke for when I was teaching English in Japan ) LOL okay I got to go get the rest of my work done but I’ll be watching and listening to your new doc. here , while I work.

[@FlipSideCT]

You are always opening your doors my friend! I am expecting you to compile and put something out there for us. You have the creativity to do so. thank you for sharing all that. nice. Somewhere in my videos I played Zeppelin Born Y Aur acoustic. I have not played in a long while and would need months to get back in shape. I have not been playing due to making these docs taking much of the time. But ok, one day I will feel it and do it. cheers and safe drive!! that is a lot of alone time.

[@gregdettling6693]

You say how you think it is best to see it come out, as in like a published hard cover or something online or in what way online is best like my own page or something, and I’ll do it, I’ll try to make it happen. I’ll finish one story for beginning to end and get it out there. Just I’m not sure what would be the best media for my stories to come to life. Guitar....I knew someone that got away from it but when I seen them 8 years later they were back playing in a band again. They had gotten very rusty they told me but they had gotten it back in about a year of just playing around with it. Their guitar strings had become rusty too by the way it had been ohh 86 to about 2004 or 05 that they had not picked it up. A good 20 years or more I think. They did like THE STONES too. Because they are just younger than me they had said. That was my old boss Bernie Zinselmyer He took me under his wing. Not all car sales men are bad. He was only bad when he was selling cars LOL Thank you , if this isn’t the writing on the wall then I don’t know what is! Say no more Consider it done Just give me a nudge in the right direction for how to go about it I’d best. For example...just write something up and send it to a publisher in New York City ? ? Go about it the old fashioned way? Or start something up online that I just add my stories to? Or something other ?

[@FlipSideCT]

@@gregdettling6693 yes the guitar is like a bike. It is all about getting the fingers moving and the rhythm back. I am not knowledgable on the publishing. But just search YT "HOW TO PUBLISH A BOOK", and you will see plenty to get you moving. The books today can sell on demand also. go for it! Just make sure it is done right.

[@nurknanker6105]

I went to the ten dollar$ Hollywood L.A. "benefit" world premiere for Ladies and Gentlemen.. when we thought the band might show up or at least Cheech and Chong!! I did get to meet Samantha from Bewitched in the lobby

[@FlipSideCT]

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Steve Flip Side CT that got cut off short - sorry That’s all we know about the DETTLING side of our family. They got to Texas and that’s all we know. Some moved up Canada around 1912. We had family reunions in both Texas and Alberta. They hated the COLD summers we have when they came up all the way. There are a lot of DETTLINGS in Texas and around Oklahoma and Louisiana to this very day. More than in Canada. Some of the original brothers and sisters stayed down there - most did actually but one FRANK DETTLING came up north for the free land that was being offered at the time. Texas is actually a very musical place and even Elvis had some of his first gigs there. A lot of wonderful musical talent has came out of Texas. I think Keith’s first visit to Texas in 1964 left him with a lasting impression. I’d love to visit LUBBOCK. I’ve be fascinated with Buddy Holly since I was 12 or younger. We were all into that old 1950s rock n roll around 85-89 90 So it gives me great pleasure to see stones and company playing some 8 ball in Texas and eating local. Then warming up and doing some rehearsals. I like the sound. I like MICKS voice on that and the guitars. A slightly new take on some of the EXILE songs. It looked serious like they had some serious low down dirty work to do and taking the bull by the horns. They look very GENUINE. A low down dirty old Rock n Roll Band hitting the BIG TIME Very real and very GENUINE A little low and reductionist on the bling and glam and just - straight old coming at you like a no tomorrow run away train. Music just speaking for itself. I LOVE ALL THE PERIODS but this particular period is an interesting one down in the trenches and then riding high in the saddle into the sunset champions with glory. Almost like the perfect WESTERN -- I hope they had a great time and really got their ROCKS OFF. It’s this period that I feel the music they made immediately after that US tour into the fall and winter of 72 that I feel it is part of the same period. There and into 73 Gram was still alive and they had most of the same people together they had been working with since about 68 and 69. So for me I see the change came after Gram died and I really hear the change not so much on SOUP as I really do hear it and feel it on most of ITS ONLY ROCK N Roll however things were changing of course by 72 and into 73. One thing just hit me right now that happened to Keith in 1973 , He lost Gram for one thing and it was actually BOBBY keys that told him the bad news in INNSBRUCK in Austria about Grams OD and then he lost Bobby too didn’t he in a way because Bobby wouldn’t go on with that bathtub and the champagne. Then end of 74 they all lost mick Taylor And they also kind of lost Jimmy Miller between the end of 72 and 73 too. My my my it must have been rough Anyways I feel that GHSOUP this the last part of that period -- it was the COMMG DOWN AGAIN IT was the WINTER of that mid period. I’d love to do M.A. or Ph.D. Thesis just on Rock n Roll and on the Rolling Stones I love how Keith went on a mission to find that ‘girl’ that close friend of his just as soon as he found out about the news about GRAM. That’s exactly what I think I’d do too. He responded to it by needing to connect with someone. He had a very deep connection with Gram. I’m not surprised that’s how he responded by needing to connect with someone else he also felt very close with. Presumably BOBBY KEYS was just not quite going to do the trick for that little very unfortunate: ‘I got a bad one for ya...’ but I’m sure he was there for him too. There is no doubt in my mind that BOBBY from Texas wasn’t also very supportive to Keith. But that Keith would respect to that by looking for another very close friend who might understand about Gram too... That....It totally makes sense to me. I feel a lot of SYMPATHY towards KEITH. I think his greatest fans and closest friends tend to. Although he’d never be one to be a beast of burden. their music makes so much sense to me it’s not even funny -- but granted I may be reading a lot in to things that might not actually always be there. It’s calked over speculation and ad hoc interpretations....but I like to think that can be kind of fun too. Not everything has to be DEADLY SERIOUS.. but I do look at the end of that so called protein mid period very closely. I hear a lot of ‘things’ in that music in SOUP that tells me they knew it was getting on to being close to the closing of an era. I understand they HIT A LIVE PEAK musically in 73 too. That’s very very interesting. Dr. FREUD.

You are king of Random Sequiturs. Plenty of dives and rabbit holes. I still think the best to come out of Texas is Johnny Winter, for me that is.

@ Steve Flip Side CT Okey keeping this short. This year is the year of the Dragon and next year we will be moving into Snake. Mental Note to self: I have to remind my friend about it. He may be a dragon...he is a Dragon actually and it is said to play it cool and take extra good care in the year of whatever your own is. For me that’s next year. Health wise, big investments , big endeavors and safety with travel.. everything like that for those that are into that stuff. Keith and Mick are both SHEEP or MOUNTAIN SHEEP or LAMB the most creative artistic of the Chinese zodiacs. So according to what I’ve been told if they can make it past the next coming year of the sheep it will be okey for them and they will live longer. Who knows if there is any truth to this stuff. It’s just fun for me. So the last year of the sheep was 2015 so 2027. According to this Chinese blablabla they got to Make it to about Feb or March of 2028 and they will be able to keep on rolling. I don’t follow western zodiac as much...Keith is a SAGITTARIUS and MICK J. Is a LEO the LION I believe. I’m not sure how those two are said to fit and it doesn’t matter. They fit good enough for us all these years. Okey....I wasn’t even going to write on that. Moving along quickly. I only learnt about Johny Winter just by that first song stones played at their 1969 Hyde Park. That’s how I learnt about him. I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS FROM TEXAS I JUST FOUND THAT OUT FROM YOU NOW. I understand that had been one of Brian Jones favorite songs so that’s why they played it first. I think for me I got a go with Buddy Holly and after that there were quite a few. Keith would say I think: Bobby Keys for sure I guess. Same age exactly and all and that SAX all those years. The two of them being HALF HORSE and HALF MAN. haha sadly Bobby Keys is not with us anymore is he. ?? Ummm All I know from C&W music is if you gonna play in Texas you got to have a fiddle in the band. A fiddle haha that doesn’t have to be for ROCK that’s for the hurting music I think they meant. Thank you Steve You have given me the confidence I’ve needed to go on and write some of my stories and get them out there and do something with those. You gave me that little nudge I needed. But I want to find my own place to do it on. Maybe Greg’s scary BLOG LOG or something like that. I’ve love to publish just like Steven King does the old fashioned way. I don’t know send material to New York I’m not sure how that works.. and maybe they just like it and publish you and maybe they just rip you off and use the material for themselves somewhere.. I’ve always felt afraid of that. You just hand over everything you got and that’s it , you never hear back not a word and they got everything and also any of the stuff that might be any good. Then it w-inds up in JACK CRAY’s story or something. I don’t know who that is I just made the name up. But maybe a blog might be the way to go to start with. GREG’s SCARY SPOOKY BLOCK LOG WELCOME TO MY HOUSE OF SCARY and FASCINATING STORIES. that might work. Check views how many people have been logging in something like that. Just a space for me to write. And a place for people to read it if they like. Thank you for the nudge towards this Steve!! The push over the cliff is just maybe the push I needed. I’m glad I have your blessings on this. It will help to feel comfortable to write there in the new space. I guess I’m going to have to figure out how to make an online blog. And decorate it. I have some scary true stories too I’ll have to get in there the one that happened in Hollywood when I visited LA and so on.. when you told me this YOU SHOULD DO IT GREG .....all these stories just came to my mind.. it was wonderful. They are just there all living within me... I didn’t even know they really wanted to come out and be heard.. but I said to myself when a man from New York encourages you to do it To Write ......that’s when you know you have the writing on the wall. After that if I just don’t do it , that’s just my fault. I don’t need to hear it any louder from that than if a man originally from New York tells me I should write or seriously consider writing and getting some material out there. Then I really should seriously consider this and find my own space to get a few short things out there. THANK YOU STEVE FLIP SIDE CT I don’t take that encouragement lightly. Let’s try something for 2025 if not sooner just before this coming New Years. Maybe I’ll get some things down on this long winter drive home that’s coming up.. yikes my time is getting short here I better get going. I still have an essay to get in ! One Last One. I will finish with my favorite and also perfect perfect definition of a LOVE TRIANGLE SHE’s HIS I’M HERS AND SHE’sss MINE ( but of course he is no longer wanted by her because she wants me now. And that’s just too bad for him and so good for me ) We just hope HE won’t find us together LOL or it’s going to be ‘you feeling lucky punk’. It’s Sayonara Sunday Awww my uncle had that happen to him long ago back in the 60s or 70s He found a man in bed with his wife That’s why that uncle had to be in jail for a while I was always afraid of that uncle as a child he was some scary Real mean crazy truck driver He blew them both away His wife and her secret lover Is what I was told as a child Then he went to the big house Awww We were glad when he finally died But he had one hell of a sense of humor I’ll tell yeah Really really high strung guy One time I was visiting when I was much older and he came home suddenly as he always did and he gabbed my leg and he pulled me right off the sofa and I even kind of hit my head on the floor and he goes ‘don’t worry I’m just pulling your leg’ He used to say to me as a child ...we are going to trade you for a pig and then we are going to eat the pig . Haha I would get so scared of this guy I’d lack on to my grandmother and I wouldn’t let go for dear life. Haha Yes yes we were all glad when he was gone. 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂😇😇😇 inspiration from the Johnny Winter song of course that I first heard from the 69 Hyde part show Bye for now... Big things ahead Big things in the making

[@gregdettling6693]

@ Steve Flip Side CT Wow! Steve ! This is sooo motivating and inspirational ! I’m excited!!!!! I can’t ever thank you enough! You are beyond a double the single most important, motivating and inspirational person for me in the would in the last 15 or so years. It is impossible to ever thank you enough Steve. Steve you are the only person in the would who noticed my writing since a few teachers back in high school days and a few professors after that. Academically a few from University of Toronto these last two years but it wasn’t for creative writing. But as someone who is not paid anything in a field that is educational to say that and notice my writing there is really only you - ONLY YOU - and maybe a few odd old friends from high school, TO SAY THAT TO ME AND NOTICE MY WRITING and any small amount of talent I might have. AND ENCOURAGE ME WITH IT!! THANK YOUUUU! I’m sincerely touched, you bring tears to my eyes. I can’t express how much gratitude I feel for you at this very moment. I could find my voice with you more clearly and more easily too so that was able to help me a lot. It could bring me to a higher level and help me to express myself and the stories more clearly. It also means something special to me that you are originally from New York City. Okay Steve when I have the time I’ll do my best with that. If I don’t have the time , I’ll try to make the time. I also will refrain from saying any more about my stories and my writing here because I don’t want to use your space as my advertising place because this is your space and it’s for STONES material and it’s a place where people can comment positively about the wonderful documentaries you are producing. And also for asking sincere question that are music and stones related. Also, just you gave me more than enough already more than I deserve and it will be better for me to bottle up my stories and writing so they can spill out on my paper / page / space in my own original space that I’ll endeavour and aspire to set up. I’M SO GLAD THERE CAN BE ONE PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT LIKES MY WRITING AND THINKS IM A LITTLE BIT GOOD. I’m going to follow your advice Steve down to the very detail. Right down to the very letter of your word. I’m pouring it on a little bit thick Steve but you deserve it!!!!! I hope I won’t disappoint you in this project. Yours Sincerely, Greg ( maybe it’s not for sure yet but just maybe PEN NAME: GREGORY O. FURRY or just GREGORY FURRY ) It’s my biological father’s Last name: ‘Furry’ I got teased quite a bit about it as a child so I had it legally changed to Dettling which is my mother’s family name. It cut down on the broken noses too in elementary school. Hahaha I felt a lot better with Dettling than Furry by about the age of 11 or 12 and I had not seen or spoken with my father since I was 4 years old so I just went ahead and did it. But it could possibly be a good pen name for spooky stories. MR. FURRY LOL HAHA Gosh I hated that name And middle name ORVAL so I got teased for that too and just more broken noses but in the end, by the end of Elementary and into JR. HIGH there were lots of HERO types I had as fellow classmates and I didn’t have to fight the bullies all alone and some of them noticed my writing too. But getting rid of that last name made it easier and I kind of kept my middle name under wraps too. I got sick of being: GREGORY ORVAL RED N BOCKER FURRY everyday ..and who wouldn’t and also the 80s and 90s were a bit of a different time from now. My first inspiration came from that time and now even though it is almost 2025 and maybe a bit ever so slightly late in the day for doing something with this my inspiration now has come from YOUUU !

@ Steve Flip Side CT This short note going out to KEITH and to Steve as well. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KEITH RICHARDS!!!! December 18, 1943 - to - 2024. Dec 18 also his wedding anniversary. 1983 -2024. 81 years & 41 years I was lucky to hear a stones song on the fm radio the other day - glad when those come over the radio still. I also had a few hours of quiet at Mel’s diner on the same day where they finally turned up their 1950s and 60s music and an old Little Richard song came over their system. I’m working on my final term paper as I write this and it will be submitted today or it never will but it will today and if it isn’t it will be OVER MY DEAD BODY if I don’t get this bitch done. Come hell or high water it’s going to be done today! December 18th. Perfect day for it too!!!! I have 3 recommendation letters set up for MA programs and one of them is very strong. One is from a prof from LA who did her phd at Berkeley. Another is from a prof from Edmonton ( where I was born as well ) who did her phd here at university of Toronto. And the BIG ONE is from an older veteran professor who gave me the green light to just apply anywhere in the world. He gave me his blessing at his own home over dinner to just apply absolutely anywhere And he will back those applications. That doesn’t mean I’ll get in but there is a running chance. It’s the best news I’ve ever had and it means I can discontinue this second undergrad degree program in Toronto and just focus on applications to Grad Schools. Also going to try to fit some fiction writing in at some point. Get some of my stories down and out there. Thank you for the encouragement Steve!!!!! And MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND KEITH AND ONE AND ALL !!!! From Greg

[@FlipSideCT]

nice to hear Greg, glad you got some exciting news. Happy holidays!!!

[@gregdettling6693]

Yes happy holidays! To New York and New Jersey and CT and up in Boston too. Did I miss anyone? I’ve not been able to visit yet but I’m western bound again now but I promise I will some day. Damn!!!! I didn’t make the state of Maine either but I did make it as far east in Canada as Quebec. A wonderful experience and drive. I’ll get around to visiting all of these great places out east some day. Hopefully until then Steve Flip Side CT will keep the home fires burning for me. I think of you guys every time a BOSS BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN song comes on or a FRANK SINATRA song comes on. Strangers in the night or something like that. HUNGRY HEART by the Boss. But it’s wild horses bound for me and back to the wild Wild West. At least for a while anyways. I’ll try not to drive over a cow boy LOL that sort of thing tends to get you in whole lot of - my ass is Buffaloed - sort of trouble. There is so much snow they all look just like snowmen this time of year but just don’t run over any snowmen. They all might be cowboys. I’m going to tap it cool and enjoy a nice big grilled cheese open Denver as soon as I get back. Going to miss the people in Toronto too in lots of ways. But I don’t think they are going to be leaving any time soon so there are always chances to come back for a visit. They were great !!!! The streets are a little rough but the people were great! You can’t judge the people here by the streets. Back home you had better judge the people by the streets you are in. Here is much more sophisticated and diverse in a way. And safe too. I can walk any time of night and not feel really scared here. You always see people that don’t look threatening which is a blessing. Much much more extroverted than out west too. The West Coast may be a different thing altogether but I’m from sort of flavor country just north of Montana and Idaho and that’s where I’m going back to. Canadian Rockies They roll up the streets each night and roll them back out in the mornings. It’s a wonderful place but it may be a tad more introverted than say a place like Toronto. That’s right FRIEND. Especially if you get north of say Calgary. But their waters run deep too. But much more chances for extreme solitude and isolation. You can drive for hours in completely blackness and not see another car on some roads. ITS NICE! In its own sort of isolated cow boy ZEN sort of way. You got your own thoughts and coffee and music and if the motor doesn’t stop that’s all you need. It used to be fun to pick up hitchhikers but I don’t do it as much now because they get scared to get in my car . LOL joking But I do pick up people on the side of the main highways if they look like they might freeze to death. Not in the cities but out in the never never lands - 45 can kill a person in a few hours. It’s not warm like Toronto is. It’s life and death to be outdoors this time of year. It really is. I forgot to mention in my previous message: ( about Japan ) ( short conversation in English) Customer: Thank you so much for this wonderful evening. ( Here is the money for my bill now ) BOW Japanese Bar owner: DONT EVEN MENTION IT. ( sincere smile ) ( sincere Bow ) NOT AT ALLLL. they loved that saying in English. they took it very literally. ( which made them smile ) like wow ! We can actually say that to mean YOU’Re WELCOME??? COOL !!! RIGHT ON!!! that’s more true to how we actually feel anyways lol they told me in a slightly ironical way. They had a wonderful quirky sense of humor but they are very good hearted deep down inside. But this gave them a buzzzz They got A BUZZZ just off of that way of saying you’re welcome in English. When they translated it back to them selves in Japanese in their own heads it kind of blew their minds and produced a major buzz ) They wanted to say it all the time Hey Greg, not at all. Hey Greg, don’t mention it. Not at all. HEY NOT AT ALL !!!!!! They looked for any random opportunity to be able to say that. LOL I also learnt that good food has what they call DEPTH. not just delicious. Deliciousness plus depth plus beautiful appearance. I tried to convey to them that getting the genuine article matters very much too with respect to good food. It’s status as genuine alone seems to matter to people a lot. It can’t be any soup following that recipe....it also has to be the real thing and that’s not so easy to copy. Their attitude to this was something like well ok but what if it can be even better than the real thing? They got me there. LOL but I still want to try the real thing first I think before I taste improvements on it. The genuine article in anything has a special existential status. :) that can’t be duplicated. :) It’s like you got to try Chicago pizza in Chicago or you got to try a Big Baby double cheese burger on the south side in Chicago. Or a certain New York food in New York. The real thing has status. Like just to see it’s there and it’s always there. Your favourite New York deli for example. It’s got to be there! If it’s suddenly gone it’s like someone died. It may also not have to be the best but it has the original genuine article in living colour available. And it’s roots are where it all got started depending on the thing. It’s like I don’t want to get on an old yellow taxi in LA ( it wouldn’t mean a thing to me ) I want to experience it in Manhattan. Because that’s the real thing. I don’t know if I was able to get this across or not to my Japanese acquaintances but I learnt more about depth. ( KOKOO ) DEPTH yeah ! not simply delicious yet shallow in taste ( aka tasty yet cheap tasting ) tasty and expensive tasting by how long the flavor lingers and by how 3D and 4D the taste experience is. That’s what they meant by DEPTH. that’s what they got across to me over a matter of months and years. Not just by explaining it but also by letting me try foods that had depth vs foods they thought lacked depth. Cheap conveyor belt or super market mechanically produced SUSHI for example always may taste yummy or okay but they always lack depth. Fresh expensive SUSHI always has depth. Pork and Beans that have been cooked slowly a very long time sometimes using onion has depth. The cheap can baked beans heated up for 5 min may not have as much depth even if it is delicious. I personally think the analogy can be applied to a lot of things. It’s like how long that STONES BUZZ lasts after you experience your first Stones live show. That’s DEPTH. that’s what the Japanese understood about good food and other things. That they tried to get across to me. Maybe they felt a depth in Black and Blue that I couldn’t quite grasp. I feel it in GH SOUP I see how depth ( or kokoo ) can be an important quality of true love too. It’s not a quick flash in the pan as much. It may not be fleeting as much maybe. Why do people fall in love with love ? It seems to me it is about the depth of the experience. ( but then again everyone is different and who am I to say what might blow another person’s hair back ? Right ? ) 2-3 hour experiences can have significance and depth too. Some people live a life time in just one day or in just one week. I get a buzz from Rock music and from Rock n Roll and also from some blues music and I just won’t ever put it down. It won’t put me down either! LOL MERRY CHRISTMAS and SEASONS GREETINGS! To Steve and to one and all!!!!!

Something warm fast hot cool loud and that swings!!!!!

[@FlipSideCT]

great to hear any Stones song on the radio!

[@gregdettling6693]

It really is Steve! I like how those just come on the radio without my intention. I don’t have to look for it or press play. Your documentaries are a joy like that for me too. I just stumble upon them. The anticipation must also be a great build up for your fans and there are many fans you have by now. But there is also something nice about things just coming on that you didn’t expect and get pleasantly surprised about. It must be one of the greatest joys in life. The pleasantly unexpected occurrences. Things not planned. Sudden announcements the Stones are coming live to town. But just a song on the radio that was unexpected is enough for me or perhaps finding an old record in a shop that you didn’t expect. Rock n Roll was born that way too. It wasn’t expected. It wasn’t planned to happen. Good gosh it must be one of the spontaneous wonders of life! This also makes manufactured bands a bit less interesting. Those bands that came together naturally and by chance with good music, far more interesting. Who knew Country Rock would be born and Keith would have involvement with that with Gram? Or before that who knew that Blues music would become wildly popular and taken up by British kids? Who knows when the next stones song will come across an FM radio station? And there are few these days but even that one makes it so much more worth it. It could be Under my Thumb or I’m Free. Or Lets spend the night together. Or one of my favorites also in Get off of my cloud or Paint it Black. Nothing is going to top their mid period for me but for me at least there is something fascinating about the early songs. True they were becoming very pop at the time and needed to soon get back to their roots but those all still SHINE for me. Where it all started I mean. Songs like lady Jane or I’m free. Ruby Tuesday. I do go back to 1964 and try to hear their pre-satisfaction material. It’s fascinating for me what they were into and what was going on. A song like TIME IS ON MY SIDE for example is very has a very 1950s orientation and vibe. maybe early 60s but I hear the 50s in it. That’s right any song is great to hear come over the radio of theirs. I can’t help but feel the world changed with some of those songs. Also, I liked how they drove around listening to a new song on the car radio when it first came out in the 1970s. It makes it more real somehow. A stronger sense of community. Radio call ins are nice too. I’d love a radio call in show where callers can request any Stones Song as long as it’s something Stones. Oddly enough the Japanese Stones community when I was there were in love with BLACK AND BLUE. It was the holly grail for them. Not for me but I appreciate it. They thought it was the sun and the moon. They were all over the moon about it. I soon got them to stop playing it and got them to play BLEED and FINGERS and LIVE YA YAS the bar they had was called THE ROSETTA STONE in Nagoya not too far from where they make Toyota. That was one bar in Japan where you’d never hear a Beatles song. They wouldn’t let you in the door or sit down and order a drink unless you promised to hate the Beatles. They were very purist about it. A bit of ha ha ha but they really loved the Stones and Hated the Fab Four. That was my first strong encounter with a Stones community. I’ll bet that bar is still there too. They loved their light sexual jokes too. As the Japanese often do when drinking heavily. They opened at 4:00 Pm and shut down at 6 or 7 am. No such thing as last call for alcohol there. It my place and if I want to stay open 24/7 I will. My place. My rules. Drinks never stop until the master says so. Japan Bar Rules. And they’d discount your tab too if you drank a lot. I’d make a joke that my English teaching job pays me peanuts. Meaning they don’t pay me much. I can’t make a big tab. They thought peanuts sounded like the word Penis. Did you just tell me Greg that your job pays you with some penis ??? Hahaha They knew I didn’t say that but it was their sense of humor or make a joke on words. I also taught them to say: YOUR MONEY IS NO GOOD. ITS ON ME. ITS ON THE HOUSE. they didn’t like that so much when they learnt what it meant. They said no no no that’s nothing but a bunch of penis and here is your BILL. Good times ! Japanese 101 In the English language we say suck They say lick or eat They get really confused if you say that sucks. The Beatles Suck. For example. They’d go .....but isn’t suck a good thing? Very confusing for them. Yeah suck is a great thing normally but not if it is the Beatles. It’s more like vomit I’d tell them. They suck. They make me vomit. GERO. It was incredibly hard to get it across to them that suck could have two meanings. But they had no trouble making fun of my word peanuts sounding to them like Penis. LOL they made me say peanuts ever time I arrived and it would get a good laugh every time. Especially the NORM character there who was like at CHEERS got a good belly laugh out of it. They pay me dick at my job hahaha was what he heard. Hahahaha They pay me dick at my job and it sucks. LOL That said: This was only Japanese guys talk When a girl would arrive at the bar a Stones album would go on and ALL JOKES would immediately stop. you had to be very careful and straight lace around girls in Japan on your best behavior at all times. I did get discounts on all my drinks and food because it was understood that I was making peanuts at the time. Very kind of them. They called it service or friendly price.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@gregdettling6693 you got a lot to talk about Greg, as usual! Never a dull moment or lack of discussions. I do stop and listen when Stones are played outside of me playing it. I did work for Matsushita and Fujifilm, about 22 years combined, so had much exposure to the culture. but nothing like what you have done. It was mostly formal. Very cool to have a dedicated bar, and being with like people in Japan. thanks as usual for sharing your stories! P.S. I do think the Stones will be coming out with another new album soon. They did release an archival LIVE AT SHERPARDS BUSH which does have a set of 5 songs I really dig. But not sure of the sound quality to buy it.

@ Flip Side CT I keep trying to go back to find the thread where you last replied. But I keep losing it but not to worry I read everything you wrote back to me three times. Sorry that was really long winded - I was in the midst of extreme writer’s mode and now I have to get back into it even it is Christmas here now. I’m spending Christmas in Toronto after all this year it looks like. Final Paper still not done - don’t ask. It’s all my fault anyways. You know I always like to down play illness and up play wellness. I’m very sorry I didn’t realize you were as ill as you were but the important thing is you are better now. :) It’s a blessing and thank goodness An old professor of mine always said the most important thing about getting well again is the ability to be allowed to be sick when we are sick. Apparently people may not recover as quickly when they may feel that they are not allowed or able to be sick, when they do get sick. Like for a job or a relationship or for maybe an event or what have you. I used to tell that same prof well an apple a day and an onion a day so stay away from me doc and don’t make me catch your sick. LOL hahaha here is an onion for Christmas doc. Hahaha I pealed it for him too. LOL hahaha Made everyone in the visitors smoking room at the hospital cry. ( this was years ago when you could chain smoke in hospitals ) Those onions work like a charm...they got me out of there real fast!!!! Haha Faster than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. People say laugher is the best medicine. Why do I always think of a really wacky political cartoon when I hear that saying? Two doctors are overheard discussing a person that is really sick and the one doctor says to the other..laugher is the best medicine and they have a little inside joke laugh about it and the person thinks to themselves: that’s IT I’m getting out of here! ! ! I’m cured !!!! It’s a medical miracle! I’ll just go check in at the Waldorf-Astoria with a good bottle of French wine. Get room service up. Maybe a hot bubble bath. Sick anyways so I’ll just live it up.. NEW YORK...NEW YORK! My grandfather used to get sick just to visit with the female nurses. When we cottoned on to what he was up to grandma fixed him good. He got only old male nurses and old male doctors from that moment on.. And after that he never got sick a day in his life again. LOL BUT unfortunately then he died so I guess that wasn’t so good after all. He was 96 and I always miss him at this time of year. Ohhh and one more funny story about him before I go that is STONES related. I was playing GIMME SHELTER one time and he was riding shot gun in his pick up truck with the music going.. He actually asked me if a window is open or if a storm was coming?? He said he thought he could hear the wind a hallowing. I said: that’s just the music grandpa. LOL that’s a true story *** Okay - joke time is over - I have to get my work done now merry Christmas. From Greg

Please listen thru again

When was Some Girls released?

[@FlipSideCT]

June 78! I graduated High School and it was my life soundtrack then. Missed the tour though

[@DaveGoldShow]

@@FlipSideCT i graduated college May 78! I'm shocked how little money they were making on the tour as you had itemized the costs! They didn't start raking it in until the '89 tour when they had big corps sponsor them and guarantee them big bucks! I saw them in '81 in Syracuse, NY. Mick was trying to make it MJ & the Rolling Stones running around and off the stage! That's when he and Keith started to really despise each other! Thank goodness for Ronnie Wood to bring them back together like he did with Keith and Bill Wyman as you mentioned!

[@FlipSideCT]

@@DaveGoldShow Yes, 81' was a start of big sponsor with the perfume company Jovan. Stones got a few million to add their name. It was helpful to cover the small venue losses they expected to take a hit on. But then came Budweiser in 89' and like you say became the start of BIG NAMEs.

keith plays berryesque solos making them his own

[@FlipSideCT]

all roads lead back to Johnnie Johnson on piano.

[@DaveGoldShow]

@@FlipSideCT I saw him on Hail, Hail, Rock n Roll. Apparently he did a lot of uncredited stuff for Chuk B.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@DaveGoldShow right.....Chuck interpreted his.guitar playing from the way Johnnie banged his chords on the piano, to get those famous riffs styles. known fact.

[@DaveGoldShow]

@@FlipSideCT Amazing omissions! Chuck didn't come across as a nice guy!

[@FlipSideCT]

@@DaveGoldShow He was bitter, and felt cheated, and felt so many were after what was his. He had a soft side, but I have not seen that as his dominant character.

[@DaveGoldShow]

If they toured after Some Girls came out, it would have been a lot more successful tour!

[@FlipSideCT]

?? they did tour after it came out

[@blondeboywilson9221]

Looking forward to this for a while....Thank you !!!!!

[@FlipSideCT]

same here, was working on the entire script, and it just kept going. enjoy

[@jonnyjibjob6519]

Great video! This is just my opinion but I never understood why Capote and those other leeches were allowed to get close to the band?? I think mick wanted to be accepted in high society..wish they would've stayed on the same level as the fans 😢

[@FlipSideCT]

From the looks, Bianca may have wanted to have this opportunity.

hoped you at least enjoyed this.

@@FlipSideCT I¨ve been waiting 4 this since 1972 🤩

[@20cenctstyle]

When I saw the RFK show you could tell there was no rehearsal and they sounded like a bad garage band The angels were just ignorant thugs That couldn’t happen today I would hope

[@FlipSideCT]

If you saw them in 72', I would think you need to get another listen. Yes, it was a sure different time and less tolerant back then.

[@20cenctstyle]

@ I love your videos I watch them more than once. You really do a great job I have a signed 1st edition of Life ❤️ I’ve bought the cd/dvd reissues The 5 cd some girls for over $300 I was living 250 miles away for the 71 show & I went with a car load of guys I think I was 17 & I was so hyped going there,my first stones show. I was so disappointed I found a girl at we went to the top to have sex (it was safer then) so I only heard the second half but I thought the Stones would approve ‘75 was the best tour I ever saw & I’ve been a every tour fan You really make well done videos brother 👍🏻

[@FlipSideCT]

@@20cenctstyle thank you, sounding like a true fan, as I can see why. We can not get enough!! keep it going!!! cheers

[@FlipSideCT]

@@20cenctstyle very cool comment and sharing! love that story, and could imagine what you felt. The little guy down there took over. But to see 75' is still great! cheers!!

[@waynefay8210]

40:20 some woman steps in unannounced and starts pontificating... I can't really make sense of what she's saying and there's nothing in your presentation that indicates who she is what authority she has ....

[@FlipSideCT]

That is on you, not me. It is all there, and advise if you still want to, review more of who she is. But if that is all you got to say. Really? no need to watch.

thank you for sharing this. sweet venue, and blow up dolls. Sounding tight. I wished it had better sound of course. but very well done. That is you with the Blonde? tele that is.

[@Keefberry88]

@@FlipSideCT thanks man! Indeed that is me. Yeah unfortunately it’s a cell phone video and not our core band, we played with a backing band for charity we never played that with before that read charts lol not bad for never playing it with them before!

[@FlipSideCT]

@@Keefberry88 Sure you had that one ear feeling them out also. Pulled it off. Would love to see the show in CT.
