I love The Rolling Stones Keith Richards is my favorite guitarist of all time

Oh yeah!, Go on Steve!! Philly DC here. I just had the chance to catch part two of ‘ 77 - Keith. I was waiting on it, and you delivered! If James Brown was the hardest working man in showbiz, then you are definitely the hardest working guy on KZfaq docs. You shed a lot of light and touched on some really fantastic stuff! Really good pics, some great shots. Some of which I’ve never seen before. Look man, you are a big fan and what’s really important is that you put the stuff out there for all of us fans. Especially those of us that are guitar players like ese docs ever since your first one, and now I can’t wait for some girls. Cheers! Keep it all going and keep it rockin, flipside !!! I’ll talk to you next time and happy holidays to you.

Hell of a documentary, the Keith bust and subsequent clean up and rehab basically saved not only Keith, but the band itself and that’s pretty incredible. I love this entire series, dude, I can’t wait for Some Girls coming up! Also side note, after watching all the docs you’ve done, and by listening to all the Stones catalog from 68-81 recently, I got inspired by Keith more so than ever before and bought my very first legitimate Fender! I got a Tele Deluxe, I was gonna get the black Tele Custom Keith uses, but the allure of double wide range humbuckers in a Mocha finish was just too much to say no to, but it has such a Keith vibe! Thanks again for the docs, and keep up the good work! P.S.: Love You Live is a very fun album, but if I had my choice, El Mocambo or one of the LA Forum ‘75 shows would’ve been the album!

Even if someone knows the timeline and intimate details of this time period, this presentation has got to still be a pleasure and joy to watch. What great in depth flow and sharing of info from FlipsideCT Steve. The only problem is, I wanted more and more. We fans surely thank you for your delivery of top notch documentaries like NO OTHERS!. A Stones fan's dream!!!

As an Torontonian this was such a treat, blessings to you bro , as always

Thank you again for this awesome piece Of Stones history! Your breadth and depth of knowledge is amazing! Thank you!

Enjoyed these documentaries on Keith and the Toronto arrest. This was around the time I discovered the Stones at 11 years old. Thanks for makings these I look forward to more!

Couldn't agree more... "Love You Live" is an AWESOME album ! Excellent documentary.

Fantastic FCT...we realise you have a life outside this, but it's sooooooo appreciated!

Absolute gold FlipSide CT. ANother great slice of Rolling Stones history. Thanks for your efforts and look forward to the next installment.

Hello Steve; Rolling Stones 1977 Part 2. An interesting snapshot in the life & times of Keith Richards, includes the arrest in Toronto & rehab in the US. The video which is well researched, documented & narrated takes the viewer thru this troubled episode in the bands history. The video presents a photographic record of Keith & the Stones, a moment in time for all to view & enjoy. Once again you have created a wonderful visual of the Stones history. Take care: Tina & Pat!~!

Thanks one more time for the education Steve. Thoroughly enjoyable and it does bring back some memories for me and how all played out in Canada at the time. The best part of it all is that Keith and The Stones survived to bring even more great music.

Your love for The Stones rivals my love for The Grateful Dead!! Much respect for your time, effort, and passion!!

Absolutely love it!! Thank you for making these heartfelt docs. I agree that love you live, is the biggest capture of the elusive (on tape) rock n roll spirit recording ever made. It is like living in the center of a rock n roll band, lifestyle and live party experience in all of rock history. A bench mark of how it should sound and be! Thank you again!!!! JJ

Perfect set-up for the Some Girls story, which I can't wait to hear. Thanks again Steve for all your hard work pulling this all together, you are adding to much depth to this essential history. How come I had basically overlooked Love You Live up to this point? You are right it is a gem, can't stop playing it now!

Many thanks for sharing your work, sir! Lovely stuff.

Was delighted to see part 2 of this great documentary . Thank you so much for your efforts and for being a great Stones fan. Salutations 🙏🙏👍👍

I was so looking forward to Part 2 after watching your superb Part 1 episode (twice!) and of course this one is equaling outstanding. You put a lot time into these and it clearly shows. A labor of love. Thank you so much. You da man!

Brilliant! Takes me back in time, yet adds so much more. Love the research you’ve put in and the delivery is spot on. Keep ‘em coming.

So great. You have found so many fantastic pics/sources and put it all together so well and with a lot of love. I just love your docs.

Thank you so much for putting in the effort to research this all. Cant stop re watching these

Took a deeper dive into The Stones this past year cos' of your vids. Thanks Steve!!

Seriously one of the best in depth presentations out there.. can’t thank you enough for all the detail.. I’m totally hooked.. loving all your Stones coverage.. just fantastic

Really love these. Keep up the good work. Really appreciate it

Thank you so much for your work in assembling this documentary. I grew up with the Stones, they’ve always been there, and I’m fascinated by the group (as well as huge fan), and your work adds so much additional fascinating content. Thanks very much.

Love these!! Thank You!!

another classic from FlipSideCT !!!!! Thank you for all your hard work and research !!!!

Once again, thank you very much for the magnificent presentation. I look forward to the next one. Mean while, I will see this and the others a few more times.From a stones fan to another. I´m shure the stones fan universe is delighted whith your work.

Oh yeah!!!! I was thinking I was going to watch part one for the third time. How lucky is that. I love your documentaries. They are the absolute best. I am trying to get Keith to send you one of his guitars. I believe that would be cool. Thanks for all the gear info.

Love your videos. Thank you so much!

These are the best documentaries on the internet. Amazing stuff!

Thanks again, Steve. I just broke my ankle and your work on this has made me feel a little better.

Thank you for spending so much time and energy in making this documentary.

Love you Live...A album you put on when you just to simply rock out and nothing more! It flows so well I will let it play all the way thru and dig it so much for relaxing me, I spin it again.

Your channel is truly a treasure for all Stones fans around the world. Never stop!

Another GREAT DOC! Even though I am sure I've watched it several times! Thank you for your OUTSTANDING WORK and even more outstanding dedication! Love every one of your labors of love! ❤

Fantastic intro, middle and outro Steve. I enjoy this part two as much as I did part one. Maybe even more if that's possible. I am looking forward to what is coming down the silver train line. I have a hunch that you will be delivering the later seventies. Possibly Some Girls? I will never forget the first time I heard the album. It was on an 8-track tape in my cousin's Celica. One of those albums that hits you with a smile from start to finish. Not a bad song on the whole album. Keep up the great work brother Steve~ Rob/Boston

This was really good I enjoyed it!

Thanks Again Steve .... Jimmy ...

Thank you very much. All my best seasonal wishes to you and your family

Incredible series ! Well done 👍

Fantastic research!!

Hi Steve from Wales. Another great video. Many thanks ago. Looking forward to more.

Great! Looking forward to the next episode. Stones in the seventies is just wonderful!

I have watched all of these Rolling Stone docs. Excellent. I can tell it's a labor of love and probably just a ton of work. I love the deep dive. Really given me a better understanding and appreciation of the band.

Hey Steve, Thanks so much for the two-parter on 1977 which was a great way to spend a few hrs during holiday season. I'm so impressed you were able to do them so quickly and gave us all a Xmas treat. While I always am so blown away by your research, and how thorough it is, I should really also take the time to commend you for your video work and editing too. That can be even more time consuming than the research side of things, and is very fiddly. You really have a lot of skills in your wheelhouse. Toronto has certainly been a huge and integral part of the Stones history, just not the same way as London or NYC have. Obviously Keef’s bust in ‘77 seemed to start it, and inadvertently helped Keef get off the hard stuff, otherwise he would likely be dead by now. Years later, in 1989, Michael Cohl, a Torontonian and concert promoter, brought the band under his wing for many tours, and changed how they were run for the Stones, and many other major bands. Apparently, he was also at the infamous El Mo shows. For tax reasons, as Mick and Prince Lowenstein were always looking for loopholes, practicing in Toronto made sense. As for the actual bust, I had no idea so many mistakes were made by the police at the time. No wonder it took so long to sort out. Due to Canada being part of the British Commonwealth, we did mirror a lot of their police and legal actions. Now I find we are absorbing more behaviour from the US, certainly in terms of policing. In the case of Keef’s drug bust, it really sounds similar to how the British police went after the Stones in the 60s. One thing I do have to quibble with is the characterization of Toronto lawyer Austin Cooper. I believe you said he was a civil liberties lawyer. Actually, he was a top criminal lawyer for over 60 years, achieving the designation of QC in the 1960s. This honorary title is given to Canadian lawyers (the Brits use it as well) for exceptional merit and contributions to the legal profession. It is an elite designation. Sometimes it does seem to be political. Cooper was very low key, and not flamboyant or a showboat. I also question how much L William Carter and Clay Powell, as Americans, could do up here, at least officially. Canada does not allow legal representation from those not accredited, or called to the bar up here in our provinces/territories. Those without such have no legal standing. Now this isn’t to say those two didn’t have a huge part in forming the legal arguments/defense in the case but they would not know our laws or our process which can be much different than what you have in the US as we mirror a lot of the British system. Currently one can get a certificate to consult for 12 months but I have no idea if that was available in the late 1970s. I had never known how/who the crowd was assembled for the shows until your video. Unfortunately I have never even been inside that venue which was due to re-open around the time covid hit everywhere. Michael Wekerle is a Bay Street banker (our Wall St), and was on Dragon’s Den (our Shark Tank) for a few years; he is the owner behind the El Mo being resurrected when so many other concert venues are closing, even before the pandemic hit. As asides: April Wine the Canadian band who opened for the Stones at the El Mo, was a major band up here, and they had a huge US release with Nature of the Beast in the early 80s. Margaret Trudeau was pilloried by the press back then for her behaviour but just like how little we knew about addiction back then, society didn’t know much about the bipolar disorder either. I don’t believe she was even diagnosed at that time. Not only was she the wife of the Prime Minister at that time, she is the mother of our current PM. Fun fact: two of her sons were born on Christmas Day as well. Thanks again for sharing your labour of love, and let’s hope 2022 rocks better than the last two years! Take care and all the best, K

FN great docs man

Awesome n amazing work and fun to watch n listen oh love u live great stuff like all there work

HAHAHA LOVE THE INTRO. I've watch your videos they are amazing. Steve sending you love from Mexico. Keep up the amazing job

Thank u so much it's very top notch

thank you !!

I always get something from your videos. Looking forward to the next video, I am.

Great work again Steve love it live lol

Thank you so much for doing these, they have provided many hours of insomnia joy. Lol I know this would be a deep dive but ever any consideration into exploring Their Satanic Majesties Request?Again love these docs!!!

Again my man you knocked it out of the stratosphere with part 2! And that part @14:43 when he says “everyone you know is one” was a cult favorite with my friends and I in the early 1990’s. Man when I tell you we would watch that 25x5 vhs video just about every night after our job shifts were over. A couple joints and a few brews and as very young 20 year olds we were in Heaven watching the Worlds Greatest Rock-n-Roll Band. We had them on tape and loved it. Remember people this is way before the internet was invented. Thanks flipsideCT for the time machine ride of those days with friends I no longer get to see anymore. That’s what made this fun for me today the memories inspired by a couple of British blokes who made this all possible. Legends!

I loved watching this! I guessed Mick and Keith's 1980's fighting came from Keith cleaning up and trying to do things Mick was used to doing on his own.

Great stuff ! My favorite band , started listening to them right around the time this documentary is set, 76, 77... really good documentary...Thanks!

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! What a great (& sad) story! And, your presentation style is *completely unique!* At one point, I was carrying my cell around/doing chores/just listening to the audio. Then, I realized my mistake! The optics are half the fun! So, I had to go back & watch that part again. Still MORE El Mocambo tidbits! I love it! *Gram Parsons!* *The Cosmic Cowboy!* I've seen this so much in popular music. Someone creates a new _'genre'_ (or at least a new approach to an existing genre). Then, others come along/Figure out a _'more commercial'_ way of writing to it/And make all the money (& take all the credit). Like those who say: _"The Eagles invented Country-Rock."_ (Not!) I vaguely remember EVERY critic panning the live album. Screw 'em on that one! When I played 'Love You Live' in my backyard; It was like I hired The Stones for the weekend! There's a real _'intimacy'_ on that album not heard in most other live sets. I still think it has less to do with the mixing/More to do with the original concert(s) use of 'state-of-the-art' technology. 🎵"Because I. Used to love them."🎵 🎵"But, it's all over now."🎵 You wrapped it up well, my friend! *We need you more than ever now!* Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

Hey Steve thanks for the fantastic job once again. I had the cassette version of Love You Live when it was released and when side A ended there was this noise like the waves down on the beach. If You Can't Rock Me always stops me in my tracks and when Charlie comes in, well , you know what I'm talking about. I had been a fringe Stones fan for a while, Angie was big here in Australia but it wasn't until my Uncle played me If You Can't Rock Me off IORR in early '75 that I was absolutely hooked! That sonic open g blast blew my teenage mind and was never really the same after that. It's also fun to play on the 5 string Tele. Happy new year my friend and thanks so much for what you do. 🎸

thank you

Love this series! Thank you so much for the time and love you put into these. In the doc 25X5 Keith talks about how the Canadian court sentenced him to give a show for the blind. Was this during the same legal troubles? I haven’t found anything about that show and would love to hear your take on it.

You have done it again, great documentary. Keith - somebody up there really likes him.

Thank you

Just discovered this. Thanks

Thankyou Steve..As always so fascinating and detailed as if you were a stones member at the time. It a gas gas gas!!

....and thank You So Much ---

Keep on truckin' FlipsideCT !!

very nourishing stuff , enjoying all yer stones docs. thoroughly. also wanted to point out that contrary to what i think you had said , john phillips lp , wolf king of L.A , had been released back in its day, i purchased a used copy in the mid. 80's after reading papa john and finally, not to nitpick, but that willie album is red headed stranger, not red hooded...though that actually would of been a cool concept, waylon jennings as the big bad wolf !? hahaha, once again, love your work and thank you.

great series every Stones fan should watch

Best fan project on KZfaq, maybe the whole internet.

Thank you for reminding me why I’m a die hard life long stones fan

Steve, I have to say that I wasn't a big fan of the album when it came out (for all the reasons you mentioned coming from the 5%ers), although I bought it and loved side 3. I've listened to it again since your part 1 and have a new appreciation for it, and brings back some good memories. Great job once again, and if you ever get the chance it'd be great to see something on Mick Taylor post-Stones. I'm still a big fan of his 1979 album but didn't follow him afterwards. Thanks.

Thank you to Jello for his comment. Also a big thank you to CT. Merry Christmas 🎄 happy holidays and happy Honoka ( I learned to add this in from watching Saturday Night Live as a kid ) . Winter is cold 🥶 but this season can be very warm in spirit. ROCK ON!!!!

I didn't know Warhol didn't add the lines to the cover - very interesting!

I'm a guy 67 and remember when The Stones became huge here in the states in the summer of 1965. I've seen lots of bad half assed documentaries on The Rolling Stones , but I must say yours is highly impressive. It's not hard to see that you've don't extensive research and it's hard for the listener to lose interest. This is not a rehash of old information. There are two or 3 of you guys on Utube who specialize in 60 or 70 music who do a fantastic job.

These are very entertaining

Best documentaries about the rolling stones by a country wide long mile and definitely better then there's

Hi Steve!! Again, THANK YOU, for such great content. LOL...I know I sound like a stuck record (pun intended)...but this is great, can't wait for the NEXT ones!! LOL, take your time, I"m very interested in the Some Girls era...I was in High School and this was about the time I discovered the Stones as a kid...and I fell hard for them. Again, please know how much your efforts are appreciated out here, this is nothing like this out there, not done this well and told this well. I think the Stones should give you some extra access!! Take care and looking forward to the next chapter in your ongoing saga!! CC (ps Merry Christmas)

Love You Live taught me how to play guitar! It's a gem!
