they were so
much better with bob stinson than without him it isn't even funny. the
more and more they sounded like paul-plus-backing-musicians, instead
of
like a band, the less and less i liked 'em.
Hi Matty,
I like and love much of the Mats stuff. However, I agree 100% about
the impact of losing Bob. Bob obviously had serious mental health and
drug problems and they probably had little choice but to say good-
bye. That said, live he always was the heart, soul, and swagger of
their performance and sound. His playing was like a buzz saw. It was
never the same with out him (IMO). Maybe this is an odd comparison
but I'd compare it to what the Stones would have been like minus
Richards (in the days when they mattered).
I vote "Let it Be" was their moment where it all came together.
Steve
