good choice. one of mine too

best version live version i ever saw in person was msg '72...

quite the classic version from 'ladies & gents" texas '72...
great harmonies, m&k sharing the mike, along with some laughs and whispers
and a real powerhouse version...maybe the definitive recorded live version of this perfect gem...
steve earle also does a killer live version that's available in his catalog.

I like the rough Knebworth version....but ofcourse L&G 1972 too.

the first album from the stones i bought was sticky fingers ; i liked dead flowers as soon as i heard it.
this song is simple, but it's perfect - nice melody, nice solos, everything sounds good in it

Brussels, ? , Stade Roi Baudouin

Saw it in Durham last year

>> but of course L&G 1972 too. <<

smile smile smile: yeah, the Glimmer Twins are such a joy on L&G -
Mick reminding Keith of the words, and Keith lookin resolutely the other way :E
Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

>> Whats the name of the [Brixton] video/DVD boot? Looking for that! <<

Tekumseh, the one i've got is just called Brixton Academy (or something real close to that) -
it's such a beautiful show! hope you find it somewhere.

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

Fantastic song -

Also very easy to play, just:

D-A-G-D for the verses

A-D-A-D for the "Take me down....."
G-D-G-D-G-D for the "You can send ...."
Back to A on "roses", then G-D.

Repeat 4 times, get Mick Taylor to play the lead for you if you can.

Well finally someone mentioned "Mick Taylor"(Elmo)
in regards to the best live version of this song, (Ladies & Gents)

Taylor gives a clinic on how to play guitar on this song!!! soooo smooth!!!

And Jagger knew what kind of POWER the Stones were packing in the 70's when
he tells Taylor to: PLAY THAT GUITAR BOY!!!

MLC

There is a 2 CD boot from Oslo 98 called "Dead Flowers" not the best sound, but I got it.

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

Keith, be well - all the way, baby, all the way

Send me dead flowers..fuc-ing US mail!!!
