i dunno if this is the very first time i heard the song; probs not depending on release date; cause i got this stuff pretty much first day out for many years...
...but certainly a heavy introduction to this whole period; i guess a mix of the recorded track mimed with Michael Phillip live...
haha love the way Ed announces the teaser for the upcoming "Honkey Tonk Wommun"
what blast; then of course the Peter Gennaro dancers; how perfect....mick's little ballerina smile at the end is precious when he's caught on camera after Ed walks away after that little handshake. it's just missing that 'BOINGNNNG' and a little Tinkerbell flash on his white teeth with all that TV makeup base on; he looks fab they all do; Charlie looks perfectly both sorta low-key almost bored but also locked in on Mick's body the whole time...Mick is really working hard here; he's sort of seeming to play it casual super aware he's on the big tv show being the big fab tv rock star but he's having to really dig in here at the same time; and pull a real heavy load with a real heavy song and a primo excellent track in what must have been very hard monitoring situation; purty much a little well loved history for me here; and also a great in the now RS experience for me....
