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

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. It's not a very original songtext (what rhymes with "swagger"), but I thought it is worth to be mentioned in this forum. Here's the full lyrics

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

To my ears How can I stop and Slipping Away are complete different songs. Ballads, yes, but one is made for singing and the other for crooning. And yes, I've seen Slipping Away in 1995 in 2003 and in 2017 and each time it was great!

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?

Watched Rufus Thomas singing Walking the dog, which is a great version. But my main thought: what a brilliant idea from our favourite band to play this horn-heavy Stax tune with only these guitars, bass and drums (and handclaps). Not even an organ was involved. That way they made the song completely their own.
