Though Pierce did stay seated for the entire performance so maybe you’re on the right track regarding the relaxed nature of it all.

My favorite albums are Ladies and Gentlemen and Let It Come Down because the sound is big and loud and feels like it's just bursting through your speakers.

Yup, up there with Mogwai and pre-Soft Bulletin Flaming Lips for being loud and chest-rattling live

In case you ever wondered if it was just Rock and Pop music that I have wide gaping nonsensical knowledge holes about, well I'm also a bad country/americana/folk guy too as I don't think I have ever listened to an album by Griffith before. (*does a quick discogs search to make sure he doesn't embarrassingly own any...*)

While I think that SMR is a very solid and often overlooked album I would still prefer both Aftermath and Between The Buttons to SMR. They seem much more comfortable making Blues Rock than Psychedelic Rock. SMR is much better than I think it’s given credit for but it’s never hit as hard as those two (at least for me) and they all pale when compared to their run from Beggars to Exile.

While I get your point ( and agree that they’re way better at blues rock) I actually listen to SMR and GHS more these days than the classic ”masterpieces”, which is why I extended the run to include them. Goats Head Soup might even be my favourite Stones-album. Satanic is their Sgt Pepper-rip off, and probably done with all the wrong intentions. But it’s fun and I do think it is also a natural starting point to their classic albums phase, as you can hear the first outlines to stuff like Sympathy for the Devil and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking on this album. And if they hadn’t experimented with textures and rythms on SMR, I doubt the classics that followed would have sounded as rich.

Listening to Nanci Griffith now. I have only heard a couple of songs by her on mix tapes by my buddy, who’s a huge country fan with encoclypedic knowledge of the genre, and who has made me a pretty big country fan as well. He has spoken well of her but I’ve never gotten around to check her out more closely.
I love this so far! Classic and great songwriting. I can hear where Iris DeMent has got a lot of her inspiration from. So glad this showed up here!
