"The Rolling Stones" Thread

[FORD]

Does the BBC have any plans to broadcast the Hyde Park show on the 6th?

[twonabomber]

My guess is that when another "Four Flicks"/"Biggest Bang" video box set of this tour is released just in time for "Black Friday" sales, it will contain a full DVD of this show, among others.

If there is a DVD/Blu-Ray I bet it would be the PPV from December. Wasn't one of the London shows on PPV over there? Maybe both shows make up the set.

Dunno, but I will be looking out for it.

I think with Glastonbury they do it every year no matter who is playing, and the Stones probably had to give a bit more there than they might ordinarily do in terms of allowing transmission of the show, because everyone else on the bill always allows parts of their set to be broadcast, and headliners often allow the whole thing to be broadcast.

I have no doubt that the whole thing was filmed by the BBC - they just never showed it all due to some agreement.

[VHscraps]

Maybe it was the "better living through narcotics and alcohol" issue?

That would be my handbook for approaching the daily trials and tribulations ...

[VHscraps]

The entire Glastonbury set is on dimeadozen in HD....

I use "Get iPlayer" to rip BBC iPlayer content - it's something someone has put together for ripping content they do not want you to obtain. Not sure if you can use it outside the UK unless you are using a proxy or something. The material that you get from it is the same quality as the BBC iPlayer streaming quality. I doubt it is HD, but it scales up very well from a MPG file on a computer to, say, a 42-inch TV (which is my largest TV), and is better than the broadcast quality of a lot of channels.

[Seshmeister]

Could be, Sesh - but I thought it stuck my mind specifically because it was Men's HEALTH ... it just seemed so unlikely that Keith was on the cover of that ...

I knew a journalist from Men's Health whose introduction to you would include 'but I'm not gay'.

I think he was the only guy who worked there or read it who wasn't...

Not that there is anything wrong with that....

[twonabomber]

Mu friend subscribed to Men's Health but I don't know why. He's rounder than I am.

[Seshmeister]

Sounds like he was a Narnian rear gunner...

[Hardrock69]

The full show HD torrent is 15GB....

[Hardrock69]

From what I read, the guy who had the 15GB torrent on Dime removed it because a buncha peeps were insulting him and he took his toys and went home.

However, here is torrent info on the standard-def full show:

Once, about ten years ago in a pathetic attempt to get really fit, I joined a gym in Glasgow - on Bath St - but it didn't take long before I saw gay magazines left lying around in the changing areas.

Not that there's anything wrong with that ... but I went back to my Royal Canadian Airforce workout, which doesn't require a gym or any equipment !

[Seshmeister]

Just a big Mountie called Benton to help you work up a sweat...

[Seshmeister]

There was a brilliant statistic doing the rounds a couple of years back that Glasgow had the highest gym membership in the UK but also the lowest attendance figures. :D

Yeah, sometime in the long forgotten early 1980s, a buddy suggested I join him with a membership at one of the dozen or more "health gyms" that sprouted up in the neighborhood, seemingly overnight. Two things stood out:

1. All of the women wore Olivia Newton John-inspired outfits from that dismal "Let's Get Physical" video, complete with oddly fitting sweater/tank tank tops, goofy headbands (that Bret Michaels still wears to this very day) and over-sized leg-warmer things, done up in neon pink. This and vague memories of Flashdance and Footloose movies will haunt me forever.

2. I was heaped with scorn whenever I lit up a cigarette in the weight room. And just try to bring in a six pack of beer in your cooler.

Two months later, my same friend's astoundingly gorgeous girlfriend (whom he did not deserve-why do the best women fall for total assbags? I don't get it, and never will. I guess I'm not a total asshat, as you'd think I'd have a list of former Penthouse models written on a scrap of paper in my wallet by now) talked me into going vegetarian. So I found myself at sushi bars for a while, but it didn't take. Think Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger In Paradise"...

Tried to amend my carnivorous habits.
Made it nearly seventy days,
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds,
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays.
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat.
Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur wheat,
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat.

Fuck healthy concerns and the crippled horse they rode in on. Eat, drink and be merry, as long as you don't embarrass yerself and end up looking like Homer Simpson. Then again, Homer generally appears to be happy, so maybe there is a lesson in that.
