Carol from ya ya's,with Around & Around a close second

Impossible question, as so many. My brain freezes,,,but if any of you morons pick something after 1970, ,,,

JR

Little Queenie

Let it Rock from Leeds Lungs Out

Little Queenie from Ya Ya's
Then Let it Rock from '72
Then Bye Bye Johnny from '78

I love all of them but Carol and Queenie from Yas Yas stand out because its live and Mick Tayler plays the best Berry rythem ever! Plus it was so heavy the way they slowed them down, something nobody had ever done before. The rythem just burns into your soul. Unequaled Rock and Roll Mojo!

Very good that 'slowing down' point; that makes a very cool effect, with Jagger's almost lazy, distance-making vocals. Somehow it is resulting by making these Berry standards much more convincing and relevant. Probably their most 'original' Rolling Stones sounding Berry numbers. That they included two Berry numbers into a live album in 1970 was a cool way to pay homage to their roots and especially to their original inspirator, and perhaps it was also a kind of statement at the time that "we are nothing but a rock and roll band, but bloody proud of it".

I suppose Jagger lost interest in 'old-fashionable' Berry numbers during the seventies - there are some nice "Bye Bye Johnnies" in their 1972 tour, but mostly it sounds like keeping Keith happy. For example El Mocambo "Around and Around" is horrible performance from Mick; he doesn't seem to have any feeling for the song, and sounds intentionally ridiculous I think. When the punks were kicking their asses they (Mick) seemed to find their way back to Berry numbers; there are some hot Berry numbers in 1978 tour (especially "Sweet Little Sixteen"), but despite excellent guitar work, I don't think they got the same feeling as they did in the 60's when they, so to say, make their career out of these songs.

But they used the idea used in Ya-Ya's even earlier: Berry's funny rocker "Talkin' About You" was slowed and transformed into a dirty blues in Out of Our heads album. (Funny the way they used that changing the tempo idea: Muddy Waters's "I Just Want to Make Love To You" was treated the opposite; a slow blues into a fast rocker.)

Let It Rock (1978 tour version)

Did they do R&R music? Or was it the N BAR?

Let It Rock (From 78 tour).
Lil' Queenie (69 Ya Yas).
Around & Around (El Macombo).
Sweet Little Sixteen (From Gorgeous Girls Redux CD2 (I think). Hear it and you'll agree).

Why is everyone plugging for live renditions?

My favourite live would be Carol from the '69 tour, but studio wise I have to for Bye Bye Johnny

Bye bye Johnny is my favorite from '72, never heard the '78 version whitem8 is talking about. I also never heard the studio version from the sixties but i would love to hear it!

Cheers,
Wuudy

Come On
Let It Rock

How could I forget Bye Bye Johnnie from '72 and Come On?

JumpingKentFlash

>> I also never heard the studio version [of Bye Bye Johnny] but i would love to hear it! <<

The bass line on it is very good. Kept super simple, but rocks like hell.

JumpingKentFlash

Yep. I genuinely think its the most underrated record of their entire career. It's an astonishing performance - pity they've never done it live

presume that you mean 'Down the road apiece' - which isnt actually a Chuck Berry song

Theyve never recorded Brown Eyed Handsome Man, as far as I'm aware. They certainly have never released it.

The live 1972 versions of Bye Bye Johnny are fantastic. You should see the grin on my face when watching Ladies & Gentlemen!!!
