most excellent; i feel like my favorite friends just sang me one of my favorite songs.

and with elmo on guitar!

We can sing Dead Flowers on tell me If we want to!!!!Hows the balcony doing?

Fuc-ing...thats a strong version G....I like it!!~!

i hav this radio interview of mick back from mid 70's where he says after final take was done he played it 100 times in a row

I can easily hear Mick playing with Keith and MickT, a hundred versions in a row. That was a kinda rehearsal for the following tour...

Fun,Fun,Fun Nikki bong!!!!

I swear this song makes me feel like a Hillbilly!

This is definatley one of the best songs Gram ever wrote ;-)

I want to say everybody should hear the Open G version..it made me smile and its very good!!

Yea, it's really really rocking, very good solo, with a rollin' felling, nice open-g. The singer sounds so English, is he really German?

i haven't read all the posts yet, but i love the '72 live version of this ("Ladies & Gentleman...)

the tempo is a bit faster, and seeing mick'n keith at the mike together is such a buzz.

graham would have approved.
parsons, that is.

tayor took gram's country licks to another level and put his own stamp.taylor gives up a textbook solo and his technique watch how he uses his pinky to support those country bends on LAG.

Dead Flowers is one of the all time best road trip tunes. Doesn't get much better than this one.

hehe, thanx Erik, Rooster & Kaskatanas
that's me singing alone, then Clive joins in.
I'm half english and Clive is from england.

This my favourite stones song. Perfect intro, easy (3 chords), nice acoustic guitar, great Taylor´s solo...I think it´s one of the few Stones songs it´s better in Studio. Difficult to recreate that atmosphere again.

True, ya @#$%&. The SF Dead Flowers is pure magic - and whereas many live versions are excellent indeed, nothing quite captures the glory of that studio recording.

Always seems to be in my top 5 Stones tunes year after year after year after year after year etc etc. Some songs move in & out of top ten as years come & go but Dead Flowers for me always in Top 5 or so. Love Dead Flowers! MEZ

This morning I listened to Open G version of Dead Flowers again..and I saw myself rocking to it!!!Its damm good!!Open G do you have some more..great cvers..I like to hear it!

Absolotuly agree...... WE WANT MORE Open G!!!!!!!

And were is Open G???!!!Come on ..man..we want..that wasnt enough!!

Dead Flowers - way better than Dear Doctor.

whoohoo, whats this?
rooster, kaskatanas - you're still enjoying it?
nice, but sorry I don't have anymore Stones covers.
I put one up called "Justice" - by Splittin'Image (same band) and i'll post it on Hot Stuff. It's a kinda reggea rocker (own stuff) hope you like it.
The thread' name will be: "For Rooster & Kaskatanas", ok

Thanks man....it was fun..this morning!!!I go check Hot Stuff for sure!!!

It's up now, rooster
play it loud

Though Mick Taylor and Ronne Wood play the solo live, I always thought Keith's solo on the record version was one of his finest moments and I wish he would play it on stage. His phrasing was impecable and the way he plays just behind the beat earned him a place in music heaven for just this song alone.

one of my favorite moments at the rogers center this year, is when Mick strapped on an acoustice guitar, and said into the mick: "Dead Flowers", and started to play.

Beautiful.

Yes Open G, we are still enjoying your Dead Flowers....

I´ve just come to the work and I can´t download the new song here... Wishing got the 15.00 and back to home!! I´ll let you kow this evening...

Thanksssssss
