The boots from the '69 tour and forward certainly bare out George's observation. I really like a musician who doesn't try to play a song just as it was originally recorded and improvises and plays around with the song a bit. I think perhaps one of the best examples of this outside of jazz would be Bob Dylan, who practically rewrites his song's arrangements and melodies when playing them live.Quote

i think george thorogood once commented on keith's playing on carol from the ya-ya's album...maybe our resident clippings archivist could roust that one up for our viewing pleasure....i remember something about him saying keith never played the same riff the same way or something....
You are correct sir! There should be no confusing Carol and Oh Carol even though I can't most people think of the Berry song rather than Sedaka one when either title is mentioned.Quote

Something I've noticed for a long time(and even on some boots) this song is listed
quite often as "Oh Carol" when its actual title is "Carol". "Oh Carol" was a song written (and performed?) by Neil Sedaka.

I think the Ya Ya's live version is quite sluggish and sloppy.
Not too bad, but I'll take the Chuck original any day.

A burst of raw hard hitting rock from the British boys. American ala Britanica. So much sexual tension with Jagger moaning, with his wrist twisted in the air and the pouting lips... yeah, bust a button on my trousers indeed. Keith just is unrelenting with the vicious cutting shots of guitar. Whew, sweaty, humid and just too hot to handle. Best version ever on Ya Ya's!
