Hi mate Every show of yours I watch entertains and informs. Love your delivery style and the topics you cover. This world we live in is a geo -political nightmare. So having your show to escape to is a God send. Plus the community are really nice. So THANK YOU Alan 👍
Wow - that's so nice of you. Let me tell you it's my escape from the stress of our world too, and I'm so lucky to be able to have this little community we have here to escape to the music we like and enjoy the pleasures of life that music can bring. Thanks so much again. I really appreciate your support!
Hi Alan I been sick but I am back I think 😊 your channel is so fantastic I love your show you or the so real deal 😮 and you are a rolling stones greatest fan like I am I like the stones. And Alan I like other artists also but I love the rolling stones so much and when the show is over for me I want to goes with the stones t-shirt on ❤. Thank you Alan. Terry M, in Erie Pennsylvania
Wow - thanks so much Larry. Sorry about the ads - figured I'd monetize to maybe make a couple of dollars - maybe eventually. Can always skip them though they sure are annoying. Very best, alan
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow My channel is just a hobby but fun. I wouldn’t even know how to make a few bucks off it. Don’t care to anyway. Keep the great videos coming! Maybe one day you can talk about your least favorite albums from your favorite band!
@@Larrybabbin1957 Thanks Larry - I do touch on that in videos and I have that series - playlist - Trash or Treasure where I discuss an album typically the worst album by a band and what do I think of it.

Hello Alan it's Todd Byrnes. The bag for the video is a reused bag I've had that bootleg album since 82. I have more to send you soon. Take care brother from the Stones zone family
Todd I'm speechless by your generosity. I hope you're ok with me mentioning you. I'm truly touched. Take care brother - and really.. thanks so much!!!!!!!
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow you can mention me that's cool it's all good I love your Stones collection and I'm surrounded by my collection and in a camper that is wild keep rocking I also have some videos on DVD that I can burn for you
I am a very proud Alan Rosenberg Troll. 😂 OMG....those are some great gifts. That was so nice of them to send you all of that. If you die before me, I WANT that alternate Voodoo Lounge picture disc. I'm so jealous right now!!! Seeing a new Hackney Diamonds album edition was announced today. FYI......I have urinated in many a stall over the years 😂🤣
Your channel is all steak. To me, it’s filet mignon - lean, juicy and oh so flavorful. There’s no question that you’re the real deal, continuing from the age of ten throughout your senior citizen years, to collect, play, read about, analyze, chronicle, formulate data on and share your knowledge of music. Your passion, good nature and humor have prompted your avid fans, like me, to look forward to watching your shows and participating in their very active comments sections. You have nurtured a great community; Martin, Todd, Steve and Tom are exceptionally thoughtful and generous. I loved seeing the ticket stubs, concert pictures and especially the alternate “Voodoo Lounge” picture disc. I think the skeleton artwork would have been perfect for the cover of the original album.
You've been watching my channel since my first video. I remember well. Your comments (probably on every one of my videos) are incredible. Your knowledge is unbelievable and based on personal experience which we all learn from. And your writing is beyond compare. I'm lucky to have you, and people of your caliber, so greatly contributing to the channel and truly creating this community. Thanks so much for your generosity and commitment to this show. Very best, Alan
Thank you, Alan, for your very kind words. I’ve been hooked to your channel since your debut video. I look forward to every new episode of “The Alan Rosenberg Show,” knowing that each one will teach me something, entertain me, cause me to ponder, and/or make me laugh. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into your shows to enrich me and my fellow members of your show’s top-notch community..
cool stuff. always find it cool ya kept track of all your music since youth. i sometimes wish i did the same. although these days i think i’d spend too much time looking at it. i did start my own version of the Billboard chart in 1984. I kept those. not the same but similar.
Actually very similar Steve. I remember you talked about that. I thinks its really cool. Think it could be a great video series. Like the beginning of every year I do a series in 10 year increments - next year - will be 1975, 1985 etc thru 2015 of my favorite albums of those years. You can do similar. Different from other channels, because its based on our individual data...so it's "real".
Hi Alan - you'll be pleased to know that I love Steak. Its getting a bit expensive but I love it lolol. Like wise your show - one of my favourites on utube. Like you I am music mad, as you've probably worked out from my many posts, outside of the family its also my passion and what makes me happy. We have exactly the same musical tastes also, which is amazing considering I am 15 years older than you are - WOW, thats cool eh? Still rockin though lol. Keep up the good work, and I'll see you on the next one. Cya Doug
Thanks as always Doug - I love your support and I'm really grateful. What's amazing and fun about doing this is "meeting" other fans of our hobby and getting to know them a bit through the correspondence. The anonymity is kind of fun and creates like a guessing game regarding age etc. So I'm 61. Funny how I didn't guess your age at all. Not a clue. We really are similar, so there's hope for me that I can continue on this rocking path that I've done my whole life and carry one like you. Fantastic - Thanks Doug. You have to trademark the Cya - I love that.
A very nice video. Well, deserved for all the joy you bring us music ‘fanatics’ with your splendid videos. And who doesn’t need more nice? Or hygge as we say in Denmark (and Norway btw rest of the world, not just Danes who can ‘hygge’! 😂). Love the artwork on that bootleg! Cheers from Morten 😊
Thanks Morten - and thanks for your awesome channel and your wonderful travelogue as I can travel throughout your beautiful country and local record shops courtesy of you.
Wow - that's amazing - I had no idea. I actually don't analyze the data. This channel is my "mental sanctuary" away from the stresses of life. Of course I'd love it to be huge and successful, but most important is the passion and why I do it. So thanks for bringing that to my attention.

@@keitholiver1299 lol - ironic I'm the king of data gathering except for my channel. It has to be about the love and passion vs the numbers...though always good when the numbers go up...lol
Hi Alan...great insight as always....I am surprised you have kept (it seems) everything that may be related to your interests/passion. As I've detailed before, I too used to write down every album purchase I made on a small notepad, by title and date, mainly because I was trying to keep track of all of my Stones purchases while acquiring their catalog. I held onto that for years (as well as the hype stickers from the outer wrap--and concert ticket stubs), until they were finally scuttled off, as were clippings of newspaper articles and the like. Another was magazines...virtually all of them are long long gone, save a couple of special editions. As for ticket stubs, well with the shift to digital and 'e-tickets', we will likely not see them again...and of course a screenshot of some image on your phone isn't going to have quite the same connection. With that said, I just went to check on something, and sure enough, it is still there! In my original first edition of Stanley Booth's 'Dance With the Devil' I had placed the ticket stub from when my wife and I saw the Stones at the Marcus Amphitheater during the Zip Code tour, 2015. I have the book on my desk because I had re-read it in the last year, and sure enough, it is there! I should try to attach the image to these comments, somehow...but it's almost a fluke that it is still in there!
That's such a cool story. A bit of OCD or something but yea, I have so much. I recently went through some old Creem magazines from the early, mid 70's and they started disintegrating in my hands....bummer. I'd never get rid of my ticket stubs. Back in the day of newspapers, I would clip out the ad and then after the concert add to my concert book the ad, ticket stubs and concert reviews from the papers. I still think it's awesome, but funny doesn't get much attention in my videos. I guess few have any interest. That stuff is long gone, no more real print newspapers (certainly dont' have concert ads or music columns) and as you said no more ticket stubs which kills me. I just bought tickets for Alan Parsons Project and I purposely went to the venue to get real tickets..lol. But that's few and far between. A shame really but the modern world. Clad you found you're old stub. Funny as we get older, this old "junk" has some more meaning.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Oh now this is getting interesting....while thumbing through the same hardcover of Dance with the Devil, I discovered something else wedged behind the title page--the actual receipt from my purchase of the book--from a Waldenbooks in Illinois, though I cannot remember which one--on 7/26/85 (Mick's 42nd b-day) for a whole $16.95 plus tax! Have you read that book recently? If not, I think it warrants re-reading, if only from its ability to put you in the room with them....
@@anthonyaswe4174 I read the book when it came out - was fantastic. Waldenbooks - now that brings me back. The mall I used to go with is now closed. In it's prime it had two book stores and two record stores, plus Woolworth and Korvettes. Plenty of opportunity to buy records and books back in the 70s and 80's.
I did not realize that. But you're right - looking now. I did later on take a typing class and actually to this day can type pretty fast. One of the best classes I ever took.
Aw shucks........I think it may be lost a little today quite how big Steve Miller was for a couple of years post-The Joker. And I am sure you spotted Olivia Neutron Bomb on the gig list................no, I wasn't there!! Lol!
I did. I loved The Joker - think was like a #1 maybe? But my first Steve Miller album was (like so many) Fly Like An Eagle and then quickly followed by Book Of Dreams. For the early albums I have two compilations - which is enough for me so far. I think he headlined Giants Stadium in NJ back then and released that live album (I also have that live DVD). Sounded very tight like the album - but not the most dynamic performer. I have the 30th Anniversary Fly Like An Eagle which has a great DVD with a documentary and a 2 1/2 hour concert. Good stuff indeed. Love my Olivia...as you know.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Funnily enough, The Joker made #1 in the USA in early 1974, and finally made #1 here in 1990 on the back of a Levi's advert! How very Rock 'n' Roll...........
I should also say that I don't have any Steve Miller albums and if I did the ones you have would be enough. There's this whole bunch of (similarish, to me) American musicians from around that time that I'm afraid I can't get on with on some level or other; Springsteen, John Mellencamp (though I do love Jack & Diane), much, although not all, of the Eagles, Harry Nilsson, Bob Seger, even Tom Petty, bless him, whom I only today discovered I did actually see on the Genesis Knebworth bill in 1978 - that was my last Knebworth show, although the missus, who has just watched your video and commented that you are a 'very nice man', was at one of the Zeppelin shows there in 1979. I bet Petty was good live, but I don't remember. I don't actively dislike any of them, and like a few things they've done, but there's nothing that makes me want to listen to any of them in the comfort of my own home by choice. I do, however, have a soft spot for Jackson Browne circa Running On Empty, Randy Newman & Warren Zevon.
@@martinstarnes2237 Regards to your wife Martin - tell her thanks and appreciated. So amazing you were also at the Genesis Knebworth show. Genesis were actually my 2nd favorite band up till 1978 ...And Then There Were Three.... after that I only "liked" them. Before that - they were like my band - I discovered them with Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme when I got them in 1973 when I was 10....true. I'm a huge Tom Petty fan though for whatever reason, I never think of him as one of my all time "favorite" artists - but really he would be. I saw him a couple of time and with The Heartbreakers - always fantastic. And really there are no bad Petty albums. Funny, they're re-releasing Long After Dark which was always a favorite of mine. Springsteen is always a top favorite of mine, but interestingly he has some albums that I don't care for at all, but when he's on for me, doesn't get much better. Running On Empty is an all time classic for me - doesn't get much better from anyone. Zevon also can be great. For me Seger amd Mellencamp are hit or miss but when they're on, also, amazing. Great talking to you as always. Tired from work, but getting some requests to talk about Stones Voodoo Lounge, so maybe I'll pop out a quick video tonight. Best, Alan
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I shall pass on your words in the morning - not that she has ever been a very good judge of character - just look who she married!! Have a good evening. Late night/early morning here now.
Hi, Alan. Love your channel, will continue to support it. Just curious, what is your opinion of Voodoo Lounge? I'm a big Stones fan, not as big as you of course, but for whatever reason I never gave it a serious listen until recently when I picked up a used copy. It's one of those albums that just really clicks with me for whatever reason, despite the fact that it doesn't get a huge amount of respect. It would be in my top ten Stones albums for sure! If it has a flaw, it's that the sequencing could be better. Baby Break It Down could have been one of the great Stones closing tracks, but for whatever reason they positioned it a little earlier than that. Also, starting out with three rockers on such a diverse record is perhaps not the best decision, those tracks could have been scattered throughout the album. But these are minor complaints, because the songs are there, no question. So I'm a little late to the party, 30 years to be exact, but very thankful that I discovered the record at last. What about you? How would you rank/rate that album?
@@chrisboerger465 Thanks. It’s my favorite of the later starting from Steel Wheels. Will have to see if Hackney overtakes it. It’s a bit long and would be better, maybe a classic with a few songs edited out. But Jagger wanted to give more value with the cost and length of CDs and I totally respect that. It’s certainly the most Rolling Stones of the later albums. Perhaps I’ll do a video on it. Two of my favorite ballads are on it. Out of tears and Blinded by Rainbows. Some great rockers as well. Overall yea pretty great. Thanks.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Agreed, as a 10-12 song album it might be even better, but at least all the songs are good. Also agree that it's the best of the past 40 years or so. I do think Undercover is underrated as well.
@@chrisboerger465 I love Undercover as well. There’s a video on that in my playlist under Rolling Stones. I call Undercover a great Stones album for Stones fans. ActuallyToo Much Blood is a personal all time favorite.

But these are minor complaints, because the songs are there, no question. So I'm a little late to the party, 30 years to be exact, but very thankful that I discovered the record at last. What about you? How would you rank/rate that album?
@@chrisboerger465 Thanks. It’s my favorite of the later starting from Steel Wheels. Will have to see if Hackney overtakes it. It’s a bit long and would be better, maybe a classic with a few songs edited out. But Jagger wanted to give more value with the cost and length of CDs and I totally respect that. It’s certainly the most Rolling Stones of the later albums. Perhaps I’ll do a video on it. Two of my favorite ballads are on it. Out of tears and Blinded by Rainbows. Some great rockers as well. Overall yea pretty great. Thanks.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Agreed, as a 10-12 song album it might be even better, but at least all the songs are good. Also agree that it's the best of the past 40 years or so. I do think Undercover is underrated as well.
@@chrisboerger465 I love Undercover as well. There’s a video on that in my playlist under Rolling Stones. I call Undercover a great Stones album for Stones fans. ActuallyToo Much Blood is a personal all time favorite.
@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Thanks, Alan, I'll check out the video. LOVE Undercover, Stones at their dirtiest.
My wife wanted to know. Are you a firefighter?
