Quotepmk251 This has no doubt been covered here, but Axios TV has aired a series of Spin magazine's 100 greatest RnR stars. #1 is, as many here know, Keith.

QuoteDandelionPowderman Quoteexilestones Luxury is a longer version of the song (a little more at the end of the song - more Mick Taylor lead). Same song but a little more of it. Paint It Black had a shorter (3:22) and longer version (3:45) released. The longer version was only released in mono. I believe the longer Paint It Black is on Forty Licks.

QuoteTheflyingDutchman QuoteDoxa Let's go on. So Muddy liked "Rollin' Stone"/"Catfish Blues" so much that he wrote totally new lyrics on it, and called it "Still A Fool" (sometimes called as "Two Trains Running"). Here is the 1951 original (Little Walter on second guitar, and, interestingly, Leonard Chess on bass drum supporting him there):

"Rollin' Stone" is a blues song recorded by Muddy Waters in 1950. It is his interpretation of "Catfish Blues", a Delta blues that dates back to 1920s Mississippi. "Still a Fool", recorded by Muddy Waters a year later using the same arrangement and melody, reached number nine on the Billboard R&B chart. "Rollin' Stone" has been recorded by a va

Quotepmk251 I cannot think of the Brussels show (1st) without fawning over the band's performance of TD. During the L&G movie Keith clearly shuts down Taylor's "noodling" (I hate that term) during that song. Keep it simple he seems to be directing. But a year or so later Taylor got his playing in and the result was brilliant. Focus on Taylor's playing on that song. It
