I came acros these two great clips again. Does anybody know the reason behind this perfomance? I can't think of another time Jagger went up on stage and jam.
Who are the guys he is playing with?

From nzentgraf.de:

'10th Annual Mustique Blues Festival', incl.:

- Honky Tonk Women (MJ/KR) -Dana Gillespie on backing vocals; unverified
Line-up: MJ (voc)/Dino Baptiste (piano)/Zach Prather (gtr)/Jake Zaitz (gtr)/Jeff Walker (bass)/Evan Jenkins (dr)

There is a CD existing from this gig as well:

the band are terrible, mick looks scared to death as to what theyll do next, mick lays it down pretty well though!

Did you know these songs are available on Itunes? The weird thing is that if you search by Mick Jagger, they do not come up.

However, if you search for Mustique Blues Festival 2005, the album comes up. At the album level, the artist is identified as Various Artists. But, at the song level, it says the artist is Mick Jagger. Very weird.

I found these about a year ago. I think I was searching for cover versions of Going Down and stumbled on this.

Really? I thought it was ok. Maybe it's because it's Jagger and he sounds cool as always. It's a jam for sure but why do you think he "looks scared to death as to what theyll do next"?

What is he singing by the way on Dust My Broom? Highly improvised lyrics ;-)

because they as a band proved themselves unable to follow micks cues either explicit or implicit; mick just looks uncomfortable when he interacts with them, but absolutely rocks when he ignores the band. I didnt mean anything negative by it, in terms of mick, in fact its a testament to him that the songs came off so well.

mick should lay off those vodka tonics on an empty stomach

I didn't read as negative but as very interesting because I didn't saw them missing his cues. Can give some more clear examples of the cues? I always find band interactions fascinating, espescially when it goes wrong :-)

Great Performance. Shows he can command a room of any size.

wow - maybe we should look at airfares - the next one must be coming up soon!

not to take away from mick, but i like keith's version better:

Good to see Mick in this sort of setting - you can understand why he would normally not do this sort of thing though. Apart from the band, the lead falls out of his mic at around 1:20 on the second clip!

Yeah sorta like Michelangelo workin' with Play-Doh ain't it .....



ROCKMAN

Man wouldn't it be great if the stones would do this song in a club. Ronnie on slide, i think it'll be awesome. Follow up with I can't Be Satisfied like on TBB dvd... Ok, I'm just daydreaming hear...

Mustique is inhabited by the rich & famous, the CD is of a benefit concert for a local school I believe.

2005 was the only year on which Mick appears? And how is the sound quality on this CD???
