The Licks Tour was exciting because of the format with three different kinds of shows and the ever changing setlists. It was fun to be surprised at a show, not to know which song will be next. Maybe not all performances were flaweless, but they compensated for that with a great choice of songs.

Interesting credits for Stop Breaking Down. I guess it's a "traditional" at best, maybe a Robert Johnson song.

Here the excuse given most of the time is that The Stones must play basically the same set in every show with approx 90% made up of the "warhorses",because most of the audience doesn't really know anything else of their catalog except for the said "warhorses"and if they were to play lets say 50% of de

It's not a subject I care about, but this morning I head (for the first time) the song Outlaw in 'em that the Dutch contestant Waylon will be singing at the Eurovision Song Contest and I noticed he is mentioning Mick.

QuoteHis Majesty Various sources come together to place them there in April 1969, including being filmed for UMANO NON UMANO whilst being there. I'd say it's most likely they recorded it after they had wrote it, so mid to late April 1969 at the earliest. Umano non Umano was filmed in Roma, right? About 300 km from Positano. As I added later: according to the Mick Jagger bio

QuoteHis Majesty February seems very unlikely. They wrote Midnight Rambler and Monkey Man in Positano, Italy in April 1969. Okay, maybe not february, but march 10th or 11th according to Nico Zentgraf. Don't know his source, but perhaps it's in Martin Elliotts book? Have to check that out. How come you are so sure they visited Positano in april? And do you have another po

As far as I know the recording sessions of Midnight Rambler were in february 1969. (Olympic Sounds Studios London). The Boudoir Stomp was recorded at the jam session in april 1969. Then in july 1969 Midnight Rambler was performed live at the Hyde Park concert. In october 1969 they went back into the studio, but as far as I know only recorded Gimme Shelter, All down the line (accoustic versi

Parodies of a genre are different from parodies of themselves. Was the first parody of a genre "Something happened to me yesterday"? Could it be "Gomper" was a parodie of psychodelica? I love them doing parodies that are musically great, but give us something funny too. .

If this is the one from the SNL rehearsals it's both of them most probably, because they were both there in october 1978. But the song was also done at the RCA studios in august 1978, with only McLagan present. I don't actually hear a Wurlitzer on this version, do you?
