That is indeed a superb compilation, in part because of those tracks which at the time it was difficult to get elsewhere. Many of his very best songs - eg Tomorrow is a long time. Cover photo from the Bangladesh concert is great as well.

It does beg the question of which other compilation albums were/are indispensable. I’ll start the bidding with Rolled Gold, the vinyl version (best Stones album of all time?) and Meaty, Beaty , Big and Bouncy (still cherish the thought of my dad asking for that when buying my Christmas present).


I’d have to say Neil Young’s Decade - similarly for the essential and the unreleased. Who’d have thought at the time that a triple album would later only cover a fraction of his career!?

All I Really Want To Do
My Back Pages

Clue: The other one is not ‘Under The Red Sky’.

Part of a run of 4 60th Anniversary gigs next May - current 5-piece line-up "joined by special guests reflecting the band's rich and storied history" (from the 2026 tour programme)

Mon 24  PERTH Concert Hall
Tue 25 MANCHESTER New Century Hall
Wed 26 BIRMINGHAM Town Hall
Thu 27 LONDON Union Chapel (the actual 60th anniversary of the the first FC gig)

(And the "acoustic" tour is coming to Gloucester Guildhall 15 Oct, which means I can have a few beers!)

The programme states tix for 25-27 are on sale now, Perth to come soon...

Manchester on sale now £59.74 (inc fees),
Brum tix on sale from Fri 27th £55 (plus fees)
I can't find anything on the Union Chapel site at the moment. That's the one for me!







Ticket for Brum purchased, and tempted by Union Chapel as well!
