Mick cut a version of Key To The Highway as part of those early "Metamorphosis" sessions.

This is the Stones, recorded at Chess in November 1964.

^ Are you sure? Frankly, the backing sounds a bit generic to be them. I have a Chessions disc (Keys to the Highway not included), and that Keys recording sounds nothing like it, both production- and musician-wise.

Fannie Mae isn't unverified, or is this a different version than the Chess Sessions-version?

Didn't know HW possibly played guitar on KTTH.

The version of Fannie Mae that circulates is a BBC recording.

...rite! Great SETLIST.

It's been discussed a thousand times before but I wish they would cut an album of all blues.

<<I wish they would cut an album of all blues.>>

They have.

They can make blues if they try... Or was that soul?

The most recent performance of Keith on "Key to the Highway," as far as I know,
was at Clapton's Crossroads Festival in 2013. He was loaded with enthusiasm but his was a poor performance, according to the video and numerous fans of his who were at the Festival.

I had forgotten about that performance. Was it so so? I'll have to check it out.

Sorry to have confused you, I actually had meant it as a statement, the question mark was really just a courtesy thing.
