Whats your thoughts on this tune / version on Stripped? I quite like it. Grew on me over time. Good for that type setting. Did they play it regularly on those club gigs 95 or just some of em? MEZ

I believe that was a live rehearsal.I don't think they have ever done it on stage.

Unfortunately they didn't. Although they played plenty of interesting material during those 1995 club shows. To name a view : Shine A Light, Still A Fool,It's All Over Now,Jump On Top Of Me.

I still like the 94/95 tour, I think the last tour where the stones consistenly performed a good show. Later on it more and more became a good or not so good show (hit or miss)imho.

Thanks for the info did not realize that. MEZ

Elvis did a great version of Willie Dixon/Little Walter's My Babe on Live At The International Hotel (from '69) - My Babe & Little Baby are essentially the same song - definitely worthwhile to check out if you like Little Baby and are into Elvis.

Yes they have! In 1962!!!

Little Baby is Howlin' Wolf's version of My Babe. The Stones' rendition on Stripped is pretty faithful to Wolf's arrangement, which is also well worth checking out, coz it's a killer.

Little Baby is my favorite song on Stripped; for some reason that one just got stuck in my head when I first heard it and won't go away. I love it when the Stones do straight up blues these days, probably partially because they don't do it very often now. Maybe in ten years they will tour sitting on stools and performing acoustic blues numbers - I'd love to see that.

The more blues the better!

Can't help but dig Willie Dixons dirty little double entendre'.....

"You go and I'll come with you little baby"

Stripped was a gift from a friend of mine, who said: if you like Flashpoint (my first Stones record) you should listen to this, because it is so much better...
Little Baby is a wonderful and well chosen closure of the 'B'-side, which is so great, with WH, LIB, Dead Flowers, Slipping Away (Hope they'll perform it in Paris!), (Angie), Love In Vain, Sweet Virginia, and finally Little Baby.......................Little baby............. Usually we put on another disc when the former one is finished, but with stripped, there always is a long silence, liitle speech, no other music. What can you choose after these great performances?
(The answer is easy, just turn up the volume a little more and restart the album with Street Fighting Man ;-)
