Notes for this episode:

\\n


\\n

Keith Richards was great at the riffs and the rhythm guitar...the album referenced where Keith was (mostly) the only guitar player was Let It Bleed (last word wasn\'t clear). And it was Merry Clayton who sang "Gimme Shelter" with Mick (not Mary in case it sounded more like Mary).

\\n


\\n

The Rolling Stones (not The Beatles) had Nicky Hopkins playing piano. Also, the Stones did kinda try to become Pink Floyd, however briefly, on Their Satanic Majesties Request (really a poor man\'s Sgt. Pepper\'s).

\\n


\\n

Pearl Jam had a problem with CD-era over-length with their albums at times but have gotten better with that in recent years (some words were missing there in the  podcast).
