I'm fairly certain that "You Can't Always" has been a setlist staple for the Stones for their past several tours. They don't always do the choir part at the beginning though.

Did you see Paul McCarteny's performance at the 12 12 12 concert? I thought it was great.

No Bruce doesn't regularly do "Satisfaction." He does take sign requests from the audience and plays some pretty fun and/or obscure older songs, from classics to punk rockers. I saw him do "Mony Mony" and "Good Lovin."

We'll have to split the winning lottery award...

Goombah,

I DID see Paul's 12-12-12 performance and yes I thought he was good as usual. Bruce seldom (that I know of) performs out this way. What's up with that? I hear he puts on great concerts though.

Luv this one also...

I know that your state is huge and that it may not be close to you, but he has regularly made tour stops in LA since the 1990s.


Here is Bruce & Sir Paul from Summer 2012 performing "I Saw Her Standing There" and "Twist & Shout" in Hyde Park. The London police pulled the plug because of a noise curfew before Twist & Shout was finished.

Supposedly the songwriter/producer Norman Whitfield did not think that new primary lead singer Dennis Edwards was giving him quite the desired intensity. So he put the line "It was the third of September" in the song knowing full well it would greatly irritate Edwards, whose (beloved and non-deadbeat) father really HAD died on the third of September...

No kidding? I never knew that but yea, I can imagine Edwards would be a little irritated. Still, great song.

Thanks Lilo,

Not bad version of "Where Did Our Love Go" but I am biased to the Supreme's version.

I know I said this before (and I know he's not originally from my area), but Al Green was one of my father's customer's at his dry cleaners in Grand Rapids, MI, way way back before Green became famous. He was on tv one time and my dad noticed and said "he use to be a customer." Pretty cool!


TIS

Nice story TIS.

Lilo,

Not a bad version of Tracks Of My Tears. I hadn't heard it before.

I do know "My Blue Heaven" and can't recall who, if anyone, had the original hit on it. It seems to me I remember Ricky Nelson sang it. I think it's one of those tunes that a lot of people recorded. Not a bad song either.

TIS

I love Fats Domino's recording of it, as plays in the movie "My Blue Heaven."



And I just had to share this hilariously emotional lip sync of "I Put A Spell On You":

Of course!! Fats Domino had the hit on My Blue Heaven. Duh!! I could I forget. Thanks Gina.

yeah yeah yeah....

Dylan : Tangled Up In Blue



Dylan : Like a Rolling Stone

"The Band" from the Last Waltz.

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"

Never liked Jefferson Starship nearly as much as i loved Jefferson Airplane. The Airplane was Acid Rock and Starship got a little too poppish for me, but this is one of Starships better songs that i always liked.

Didn't like Mickey Thomas too much either but Grace Slick was boozing it up so much they needed to bring in another singer.

Jefferson Starship : "Ride the Tiger"

I like Jefferson Airplane better as well, although I don't mind Starship with "Miracles" being my favorite

My favorite version of Satisfaction is from a live concert the Stones taped in 1969 at Madison Square Garden in NYC and was shown in the movie Gimme Shelter. These are the concerts the Stones used for their best live LP ever called "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out". They just re-released that LP a year or so ago and Satisfaction is on it. It wasn't on the original LP.

Satisfaction : Madison Square Garden NYC 1969

Good video. Sort of "Moves Like Jagger" hu? They are one of the best Rock groups ever IMHO (along with Beatles)

Geez, how young they all are. They were never known necessarily as a good looking group, but damn, they almost seem so handsome compared to now.


Like I said before, one of the groups I missed seeing in concert in their prime, The Stones.

TIS, you saw the Animal's live? Oh man, wish i did. Great band with some real good songs.

For me it was Led Zeppelin that i didn't see live at their peak and when i was old enough to go to their shows. I had tickets for them 3 times back in the 70's and each time something happened that made them stop the tour before the show i had tickets to. First Plant got into a serious car accident, then another time the tour was stopped after Plants son died and finally again they had to cancel the tour after John Bonham died. This was 3 times in 4 or 5 years and each time i had tickets and was getting ready to go see them something bad happened and they had to cancel. I wish i still had the tickets, i could probably get some cash on ebay for them.

I did finally see Led Zep (minus Bonzo) at the Live Aid show in philly in the 1980's with Phil Collins on drums, but they were terrible. It was the first time they played together since Bonham's death and Page was all out of tune and was just awful.

Even Page said it was probably their worst performane at a live show. It was so bad they wouldn't let their performace be on the Live Aid album or video but i think it was eventually released years later.

Giancarlo, what luck with the LZ concert. And then when you finally see them, they're terrible? For some reason, it seems their music would be hard to do live to begin with, no?

I DID see the Animals, in 66 or 66 (thereabouts) at the Civic Auditorium in my hometown. It WAS a good concert, they sounded good, sang all their songs, and the crowd loved them. In particular, I remember Eric Burden took off his red jacket and threw it into the crowd. Everyone went wild. Fun times!
