Litening to Anaheim LA 78 right now...it has a very good version of Love in Vain...It was the shoes show..afterLIV they left the stage!!!!!I Have tha do some shoe shopping ..We be right ,back!!!Jagger says to the crowd ,love the TD version also!!!The last time I saw them perform LIV was in 95(landgraaf).Do you like LIV?

I don't think I have ever heard a "bad" version of this song. I even love the studio--just love the atmosphere and way it was recorded--the SACD version is truly amazing. Find it interesting that they hired one of the best slide guitar players in the world for the studio version and had him play............mandolin!

Have to agree with any lauding this song gets. A true classic.

classic Robert Johnson blues

I'll avoid my urge to turn this into a MT thread - but you get my drift....

And Ronnie nailed it in 78!!!

i'll bet you're right Rooster.....thus the bootleg title: Goin Back To The Roots

That's so cool with the Rolling Stones. Take the setlist of 78 as an example....
Miss You, disco
Lies/Respectable, hard hitting rock'n roll - almost punk
Love In Vain - crying blues
Shattered - street talking rap in rock disguise
Sweet Little Sixteen - old, classic Berry rock
Far Away Eyes - steel-guitar country
etc. etc.
And each and everyone of this fits like a glove to the energy of the Stones.
And it's not like proffesional that can play different styles of music, without emotions.... they're really cooking while doing it.

Leonard,I grew up with that show (LA 78).My first lp bootleg...in 79 !!!I have it here in my hands its called R&S blue cover(we called them white lp s back than)Photo s of Mick with Linda and more(real nice cover very 7 ties).Back to anaheim..I have two lp bootleg lp s from it, Return to liver(without LIV) and on tour..with LIV but without JJF!!!The same show but recorded-on tour in the back- liver .on the field. I love those lp boots!!!And I love the fact the Stones return to Blues!!!All the best,Leo cheers!

T&A - go ahead

You know as well as I do "who" makes that song (when it's played LIVE)

SPECIAL..............

And he hasn't been in the band since 1975!!!!!

MLC

I have "no idea" to whom you are referring

Its so funny..they really had to stop the show after LIV...cause of the Jesus sandals!!!!

It's just a great song I love very much. The feeling, especially during the 1969/70 and 1972/73 tours is extraordinary.

As much as I love Robt. J.'s tune, I like the Stones version better. Easier to play on guitar but also has a richer sound.

#......Go ahead....Bite the Big Apple....Don't mind the Maggots.....Uh Huh...#

Only takes 1 & 4 of Johnson's Love In Vain have ever surfaced....would love to hear 2 & 3...one can only hope and pray.

You just taught me something new, Rockman...I never knew that.

#......Go ahead....Bite the Big Apple....Don't mind the Maggots.....Uh Huh...#

Well gut just keep prayin' ...cause it's only back in 1996 that they actually found a second take of Travelling Riverside Blues hidden in the vaults.

The second take can be found as a bonus/last track on the 1998 reissue

Robert Johnson - King Of The Delta Blues Singers
Columbia/Legacy 493006-2



ROCKMAN

Like Bill Wyman's Blues Odyssey said: If you ever have a chance to by a R.J. 78, get it,no matter what...they will only go up in value.

I heard that even out of shape 78's of his can reach $15,000

#......Go ahead....Bite the Big Apple....Don't mind the Maggots.....Uh Huh...#

Correct gut esp the Johnson 78's where there are only 1 or 2 copies in the world



ROCKMAN

You better come ome to my kitchen...cause its gonna be raining outdoor!!!Very good indeed cheers 'Rock'' What a night its been ..mate!!!

rooster my fiend.....what ya been up to?

Love In Vain....Memphis 78 that's a good un...Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others



ROCKMAN

Rock,one day will come and than I send you all ofmy versions of Love in Vain!!!And hell I have a lot of versions!!!!

This is one example of a song that the more recent live versions can't match the old live versions but,having said that,the recent live versions are still pretty darn good.It's just that the old live versions are an example of some of the best music ever.This doesn't mean that the recent versions are bad at all.Hartford 2002 is an example of a very good version that the whole crowd seemed to enjoy.I hope that we haven't heard the last of it live.

I heard what sounded like a surprisingly strong version--given the song's very infrequent preformance--at Giants Stadium in 1997.

I was blown away because "Love In Vain"--as heard after "Gimme Shelter" on Side One of You Know What Album--is the song that turned me from a Stones fan into a certified, warped, obsessive Stones freak.

A great gift to be treated to that one on a freezing cold October night in a New Jersey football stadium.

Yes ,Yes!!!!I have it on bootleg and video..and its so good!!!Cheers..all the way!!!!

two things I would wish for should the Stones ever try this again on stage:

KR get the electric guitar (acoustic fine for the studio)
RW stop trying to ape the MT solo - sounds fake. Come up with something of your own.

Love this song!!!!
The Stripped version is incredible! The acoustic playing of Keith is just great and with the solo of Ronnie and the harp of Jagger it is just a pearl.

The '78 version is also great. Keith's rhythem playing is again incredible. How play those chords is just awesome, ervytime it is right on the money and he changes it to perfection.

I prefer both version to the '72/'73 versions!

Cheers,
Wuudy
