this was just put up in nov. 2013. anybody seen this.





During 1988 Mick Jagger toured Australia, supporting his solo album Primitive Cool. He played five stadium shows at the (now) Rod Laver Arena, but also wanted to perform an unannounced gig at a grungy pub. News of the "secret" gig was hinted at in the street press magazine Inpress and over 3000 people turned up to a venue only licensed to hold 700. The police attended and women fainted, but the show went ahead. The gig is now part of local legend. Every Bottle shop in the area sold out of cans of beer at the end of the night, the street was covered in green and gold cans of VB. which had to be cleaned up by the Corners staff with help from Ian "Molly" Meldrum. Mick Jaggers original song list from the night was given to The Corners Publicist & Media guy Alan Evers-Buckland by Jagger which was featured in The Ages Newspapers history of the Corner Hotel. Blues legend Charlie Musselwhite was headline act for the night, he ended up as Micks support act.

Thank you.

"Lonely At The Top" and "Little Red Rooster" leave me cold, but that uptempo rocking version of "It's Only Rock'n'Roll" works damn fine. Actually one of those rare instances the song sounds interesting played live. Makes the Stones versions sound lazy...

Jagger didn't smile much those days, a pretty offensive, even arrogant stage presence.

Really?! Sounds like utter crap to me. Each to their own I guess,

little rooster is oke, it,s not the,77 el mocamb. hey another band, but if you where there first row, still kicking!

thanks, never seen ! some old memories

Thanks sundevil, very cool to see. That hair.

well that was fun. kind of frenzied version of IORR. Lonely at the Top- lot of structure, arrangement, shows a Jagger song not well suited for the Stones but a hot number indeed.

Great stuff

I think we must be watching different videos

Great post!

I know little of that era. But the band sounds great, Mick songs great, and a LOVE the uptempo IORR. Much better than the Stones slower version, that seems to have more piano, less guitar for the last several tours. This version really rocks.

Are there any good soundboard boots from the tour?

There sure is, here's some info on it [www.iorr.org]

This was broadcast on Ozzie tv & the boot is from that broadcast. Still have my video copy. Somewhere. I think.

Is it a very young Bernard Fowler doing backing vocals?

Nice ape drape Mick!

Totally disagree Doxa. Not arrogant, just confident. He wanted to show the solo Jagger swagger but not " offensive"...GEE! Thanks for posting, Sundevil. I've never seen this!

I agree with Doxa i get it. There's an aggression to it even. Just think of the keith clone acting keith onstage. Noone saw that Coming

IORR is way way way too fast. Ruins the fun. There ZERO pocket for the drums. Mick's solo stuff has actually grown on me over the years. I just have to be in the right mood. Still certain songs I can't get past though.

Love the clip. Mick was in top form - energized by new musicians. He played while Keith dissed at him.

No space?

why was it removed?

Aggression does not equal conceit. Rock is AGGRESSIVE if it's done right. Mick does it right, then and now.
