First performed during a tour, yes in 1999, but it was also played in 1995, at an impromptu concert held during the September video shoot for Like a Rolling Stone in Kingscross, London. Mentioned on the Rolling Stones offical website Always loved the performance of the song at Wembley in 1999.

Quotefrankotero I also think Chuck is the KING. Elvis was important, no doubt about it. In my opinion he helped bridge the whites and blacks. However he didn't write music and also faked guitar playing (although entertaining)...... Besides his concerts, Elvis did play rhythm guitar on several of his records, mostly his early recordings (that's Elvis playing rhytm guitar on That'

Quotecamper88 Crossfire, I think that the issue with the RJ songs is that they were public domain at the time (trad.) and so Jagger and Richards could claim the song's arrangement as their own without having to acknowledge the original song writer, much as has been done with Auld Lang Syne, variously "written" by Guy Lombardo, Rod Stewart, or The Barenaked Ladies.

So what's the deal with some of the songcredits of coversongs? I'm a little bit confused by it. Not Fade away for instance is not credited on the 1986 abkco-cd England's Newest Hit Makers and is credited to Petty/Hardin on Stripped (although it's written by Holly). Love in Vain is credited to Jagger/Richards on Let it Bleed and as trad. arr. Jagger/Richards on Get Yer Ya-Y
