January 31, 1987

It was 19 years ago today that MICK TAYLOR played a gig at "My Father's Place" in Roslyn, New York, where he did this 16-minute version of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking":

CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING (MICK TAYLOR 1/31/87)

January 31, 1969

We finally reach the end of the APPLE sessions. On January 31, THE BEATLES wrapped filming on the "Get Back/Let It Be" project. Back in the basement, they set up for what would become known as "The Apple Studio Performance", recording three MCCARTNEY songs and seeming to have quite a bit of fun in-between takes.

Sourced from Purple Chick's "A/B Road - January 31, 1969", here are the first 18 tracks from Disc 1, the filming (and recording) of "Two Of Us". This is one of my all-time favorite boots.

THE COMPLETE ROOFTOP CONCERT


January 30, 1969 - the first live performance by THE BEATLES since their August 29, 1966 show at Candlestick Park in San Francisco would also be their last. This day's events have been well-documented in various places, so I'll just let the audio speak for itself. (With a few photos, of course!)

Featured here is the complete rooftop concert as sourced from Purple Chick's "A/B Road". Some of the tracks are very short, "roll announcements" and between-song snippets, but this is all of the available audio from that day's filming.

Tracks 1 through 26 gives us the "complete" performance, but tracks 27 through 33 are from a different feed towards the end, and while some of the performance audio from 20 through 26 is duplicated, there are also some unique bits, particularly some control-room dialogue and some extra post-"hope-we've-passed-the-audition" banter.

Wednesday the 29th, the day before the legendary rooftop performance. THE BEATLES played quite a few different songs, including a bunch of oldies, and ran through the five songs that they would end up playing on the roof.

We start with a few minutes of discussion, then the rehearsal of what would be the rooftop songs:

Pussy Galore On Main St.

THE BY-PASS CONTROL has posted PUSSY GALORE's complete version of "Exile On Main St". Recorded in two days on 4-track cassette and released on cassette in 1986, its not for everyone, but you might want to give it a listen. Here's the page:

EXILE ON MAIN ST. (PUSSY GALORE)

Magazine of the Week #4

Our magazine this week is the March-April 1989 issue of SMART, which was a magazine of, as it says on the spine, "The Arts - Media - Politics - Fashion". This was the second issue of SMART.

Its got an article on KEITH by STANLEY BOOTH, author of "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones". Its a decent enough article, with a couple of nice pictures. Also in this issue, "The Education of Steve Martin" and some fun "street art" photos from DAVID FINN.

January 28, 1969

Lots of stuff going on again on the 28th, including GEORGE pushing "Old Brown Shoe", "Something", and "All Things Must Pass". (GEORGE is stuck for a lyric in the first verse of "Something", and JOHN suggests "attracts me like a cauliflower".)

The track we have here is a slower blues jam, again with BILLY PRESTON's piano featured prominently, and with PAUL doing some more vocal improvisations and even throwing in a couple of verses of "Long And Winding Road":

BEDAZZLED: TAMI TRAILER

January 27, 1969

As the long cold lonely winter drags on, we see that the Moptops really are working hard to complete this project. A lot of time was spent recording "Get Back", and at one point MCCARTNEY sang a mock-German version. Later on BILLY PRESTON leads them into a bluesy jam with MCCARTNEY improvising some lyrics ("You Won't Get Me That Way"). This turned into JIMMY MCCRACKLIN's "The Walk". (The end of "The Walk" was mixed by GLYN JOHNS for the aborted "Get Back" LP, but here we have the full version).

GET BACK (GERMAN)

"YOU WON'T GET ME THAT WAY"/THE WALK

January 26, 1969

There's more than six hours of recordings available from this date. There's a lot of "Let It Be" and "Long and Winding Road". GEORGE runs through "Isn't It A Pity" and "Let It Down", and he works on "Octopus' Garden" with RINGO, as seen briefly in the film. Also seen in the film (though edited) is the rock'n roll oldies medley, and "Dig It". Only a short piece of "Dig It" is used on the LP, with a much longer edit used in the movie, but the long version as presented here is just under twelve minutes. And in case you're wondering, that's LINDA's daughter HEATHER helping with the vocals, not YOKO...........

DIG IT (1/26/69)

(Sorry about the file size, this one's almost 11 MB. I usually try to keep them smaller, but its a long track this time!)

B2B Technical Rider

"THE SMOKING GUN" has posted the STONES' "technical rider" from the "Bridges To Babylon" tour. Here's what Smoking Gun has to say about it:

"The Rolling Stones were once the world's greatest rock band--back when Keith was on smack and crawled around dressing room floors looking for his misplaced works. Now the band travels with its own comfy backstage furniture and requires the promoter to install a snooker table--no, not a pool table, a snooker table--backstage. But the most troubling requirement involves video games, including one that must be--egad!--"suitable for families and small children." Must be for one of Mick's 22 kids. (6 pages)"

And here's the whole thing:

B2B RIDER (SMOKING GUN)

January 25, 1969

Working through the weekend to try to finish up the "Get Back/Let It Be" project before RINGO is due to start shooting "Magic Christian", THE BEATLES show up at APPLE on Saturday, January 25th. This was the day that LENNON brought his little Hawaiian guitar thingy in to the studio and they recorded HARRISON's "For You Blue".

Earlier in the day, they seemed to be having a good time as Lennon led them through a version of one of MCCARTNEY's first (and unrecorded) songs, "I Lost My Little Girl":

I LOST MY LITTLE GIRL (1/25/69)

Note: My copy of DOUG SULPY's "Get Back" book places this recording on the 24th, but PURPLE CHICK's "A/B Road" set has it on the 25th. Sulpy's book was incomplete and the Chick set is much more recent, so I'm going with the 25th.

The Stones vs The Beatles

Back in the early days, there were several songs that were being performed by both THE BEATLES and THE STONES. For instance, CHUCK BERRY'S "Memphis Tennessee". Here we'll compare The Beatles' version from their Decca audition, January 1, 1962 with The Stones from a "Saturday Club" broadcast on October 5, 1963. The arrangements are the same, and both tracks run 2 minutes 22 seconds.

I think the Stones win this one, if for no other reason than KEITH's great guitar playing. (Sorry George!) And CHARLIE sounds much livelier than PETE BEST. To be fair, The Beatles' version came much earlier, and The Stones had the benefit of the increased excitement and intensity that arrived with (British) Beatlemania, as well as what was probably a much better recording setup (for a signed act on a BBC broadcast) than the then-unknown Beatles would have had for an audition.













MEMPHIS TENNESSEE (BEATLES)

MEMPHIS TENNESSEE (ROLLING STONES)

January 24, 1969

Today's BEATLES session at APPLE was mostly work on "Get Back", "Two Of Us", and a little of "Teddy Boy", but at one point MCCARTNEY did a quick run-through of another of his new songs, possibly called "There You Are Eddie". We hear LENNON joke that Macca's got another song about a dog, and a couple more Beatle pet names get tossed in.

THERE YOU ARE EDDIE (1/24/69)

Wyman at the movies

"A young girl, with an amazing ability to communicate with insects, is transferred to an exclusive Swiss boarding school....."


You never know where BILL WYMAN is going to turn up next.

Back in the '80s, he and TERRY TAYLOR contributed a piece of music called "Valley" to legendary director DARIO ARGENTO's film "Phenomena" (also known as "Creepers"):

VALLEY (BILL WYMAN and TERRY TAYLOR)

January 23, 1969

Back again in the APPLE basement studio, THE BEATLES take a break from working on "Get Back" to clown their way through EDDIE COCHRAN's "Twenty Flight Rock". Later in the day, Lennon briefly butchers "Help" and then "Please Please Me".

TWENTY FLIGHT ROCK (1/23/69)

HELP (1/23/69)

PLEASE PLEASE ME (1/23/69)

January 22, 1969

37 years ago today.

THE BEATLES, with BILLY PRESTON, were back in the APPLE basement studio. While working on "I've Got A Feeling" they slipped into a bit of silliness based on one of the changes in the song. Further proof that the "Let It Be" sessions weren't quite as totally dismal as John and George would have had us believe.

Here are two pieces of that day's "Ive Got A Feeling" rehearsal:

IGAF (PART ONE)

IGAF (PART TWO)

Wilson Pickett and the Rolling Stones, part 2

I feel so silly; in Friday's WILSON PICKETT post I claimed not to have an outtake or live version of the STONES doing PICKETT's "If You Need Me". I had forgotten about the live BBC version.

I didn't know the date, so I checked BootlegZone - they list various versions from 1964, but the one from the Joe Loss Pop Show on July 17, 1964 matches the length of the track presented here. (By the way, their entry for the song shows the composers as "Domino/Bartholomew"....?)

And check out KEITH's great harmonies!

"And now, as Brian changes his guitar..."

IF YOU NEED ME (STONES BBC)

Stones X Take 1

It was 37 years ago today - January 21, 1969. THE BEATLES resumed filming and recording for their latest project, which would turn out to be the LET IT BE movie and LP, at their new recording studio in the Apple building, after GEORGE HARRISON's walk-out from the sessions at the Twickenham film studio the previous week.

Back in December 1968, also at Twickenham, the "Let It Be" director MICHAEL LINDSAY-HOGG had filmed the ROLLING STONES' "Rock'n Roll Circus", which also featured JOHN LENNON. Somehow Lindsay-Hogg had wrapped filming on "Circus" without having filmed an introduction for the Stones' set. So on January 21, he got Lennon to film a brief intro, which he used in "Circus", only without the audio. The audio eventually surfaced on the infamous Nagra rolls from the "Let It Be" sessions. And here it is:

STONES X TAKE 1

George and Patti

40 years ago today -
January 21, 1966, GEORGE HARRISON and PATTI BOYD were married at the Epsom Registry Office in Surrey. Here are a few photos of their special day. That's best man BRIAN EPSTEIN in the second photo, and one of George's musician friends in the last photo.

You prob'ly think this song is about you, part 1

Back in the '80s there was a sudden spurt of songs with STONES-related references in the lyrics. Remember the SMITHEREENS' "Behind The Wall Of Sleep" (from "Especially For You", 1986)? The song started with "She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton / back in nineteen-sixty-five", and another verse had "she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band / and she stood just like Bill Wyman / now I am her biggest fan".

Also in 1986 was ROBYN HITCHCOCK'S LP "Invisible Hitchcock", which included a song called "Trash". You can hear the lyrics for yourselves, but I will say its not too often that you hear a song that mentions both CHARLIE WATTS and BRIAN JONES! This was released on CD years ago, but its now long out-of-print, as far as I can tell. This is sourced from my vinyl copy:

TRASH (ROBYN HITCHCOCK)

Wilson Pickett and the Rolling Stones

I was trying to think of what I could post in memory of the recently-deceased WILSON PICKETT. The STONES have only done one of his songs that I'm aware of, "If You Need Me", but I don't have a live version (or outtake) of it. Pickett did record "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love", but not until well after the Stones' version.

Then it hit me: DICKIE GOODMAN. You all remember Dickie, don't you? He made all of those silly "clip" records - basically comedy skits which interwove short clips (I guess today we'd call them "samples") from popular songs.

In 1966 he put out a 45 called "Batman and His Grandmother" to capitalize on the then-current Batman craze. Its a great little record, with a story about Batman's grandmother being kidnapped by the Green Berets. And of the "samples" he used were, you guessed it, a WILSON PICKETT song and a ROLLING STONES song.

The Pickett song was "634-5789" and the Stones song was "19th Nervous Breakdown". I don't think this is available on CD, but I could be wrong. If it is commercially available, please let me know because I'd like to get a copy.

So here it is, an all-but-forgotten STONES collectible, featuring Wilson Pickett:

BATMAN AND HIS GRANDMOTHER

Magazine of the Week #3

Just like the previous Magazine of the Week, this week's mag made it to my local retailer on August 18, 1975 (see marking on the "CREEM" logo).

Its the September 1975 issue of CREEM. Pete and Mick on the cover (what's with the darts?!) and lots of fun inside. Full-page ads for Daltrey's "Ride A Rock Horse", Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music", "Kiss Alive", and more. Features on Pete Townshend (by Roy Carr), Cat Stevens, Pink Floyd, and Lester Bangs on Kraftwerk. Reviews include LPs by Neil Young, Zappa, Wings, Lou Reed, and many others.

And there's also this STONES feature by Lisa Robinson.

Arriving in-store less than two months after my first STONES show, I read this mag over and over and over.............

PHIL LESH's liver donor must have been a STONES fan. Here he is again, this time from December 10, 2005 at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, New Jersey, doing "Gimme Shelter":

The whole show is available here.

Festival di Sanremo

Here are excerpts from a great email I received, which also included the MP3 which I've posted:

"You must be aware that in Italy, each year, a big contest between pro singers goes on. It's the "Festival di Sanremo", which basically is an "Italian Song Festival". It's the biggest event of italian music scene. If you go to Sanremo (a Jury select artists allowed) you've good chances to boost sales during the rest of the year. The song you perform there must be new, and basically lot of singers attend the festival with the upcoming single of the album they're ready to put on sale on the day following the performance at the Festival."

"Sanremo festival goes on since more than thirty years. In 2004, organizers realized the thing was conceptually old and beginning to turn into a dead man walking (it lasts a week and EACH night it's broadcasted live on national tv), and felt the need to make it more interesting. So, they decided that international artists could support italian bands and solo players in the performance of their songs."

"Bill Wyman, along with old mate Terry Taylor, supported an italian young band, named "Db Boulevard". Bill and Terry, The Dirt Boys, played bass and guitar, on 2nd, 4th and 5th march 2004, at "Teatro Ariston" in Sanremo, on the ballad "Basterà". Following this link, you'll find the mp3, taken from the tv broadcast (you can hear the singer saying "Grazie!" - thanks in italian - at the end of the song)."

"Line-up for that performance was: Bill Wyman (bass)/Alessio Ventura (voc)/Roxy (gtr)/Diego Braggio (keyb)/Alfred Azetto (keyb)/Terry Taylor (gtr)/& Rai (Italian television) String Orchestra."

Thanks a million for this, I'm glad to be able to share it!

Happy Birthday Mick Taylor, part 3

Happy Birthday Mick!

Young Mr. Taylor is now 58. To help with the celebration here are the opening and closing songs from the July 20, 1999 show at the House of Blues in Chicago:

YOU GOTTA MOVE

CAN'T YOU HEAR ME KNOCKING

Happy Birthday Mick Taylor, part 2

"JAGGER / RICHARDS / TAYLOR"
There's a songwriting credit you don't see too often. So in honor of Mr. Taylor's upcoming 58th birthday, here's "Ventilator Blues" from the 1972 tour rehearsals:

VENTILATOR BLUES (REHEARSAL)

(Actually, at the time, it was "Jagger/Richard/Taylor", there was no "s" at the end of "Richard"........)

Lou Reed and Zeitkratzer

I just spotted this at the "Big O" site:

"This live recording of Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music was performed by the 11-member Zeitkratzer ensemble together with Lou Reed on guitar and Mike Rathke [sound design]. The venue was the Malibran Theatre in Venice on March 20, 2002. This is a radio broadcast never made available on CD."

Pretty exciting, huh? Head on over for MP3s and artwork - here's the link:

LOU REED AND ZEITKRATZER

Happy Birthday Mick Taylor, part 1

January 16, 1982 - 24 years ago today, Mick Taylor did a pair of shows with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers at The Keystone in Berkeley, CA. Apparently, the second show went just past midnight, giving Mayall the opportunity to surprise MT with a little "Happy Birthday" singalong for Mick's 34th. Here's the clip:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICK TAYLOR

Have You Seen Keef?

"Have You Seen Keef (Standing In The Shadows)?" was a vinyl boot with some stuff from Earl's Court 1976, but it also had a couple of interesting little clips. A short news report about Keith's arrest, and an even shorter clip from an interview with Keith ("...dope? ...I wish there was some around...").





Check them out, they're pretty funny. And they're small files, they should download easily:

Between The Lines

So rumor has it that "Between The Lines" is now circulating. That's the 9-CD "John Lennon Complete Home Demos 1975-1980". Looks like this will be THE definitive set for some time to come. Of course the set includes the demos of the three unfinished songs from Lennon's brief post-"Double Fantasy" period, "Gone From This Place" (takes 1 and 4, plus another fragment), "Dear John" (which was released on the Lennon Anthology), and "You Saved My Soul".

Here is take 4 of "Gone From This Place" - nothing spectacular, just a neat little unfinished song with a catchy melody:

GONE FROM THIS PLACE (TAKE 4)

Townshend, Lane, and Baba

Here at last is the Previously Promised Pete Post. PETE TOWNSHEND was involved with a few MEHER BABA tribute albums in the 1970s, and though there was a special edition a while back, there has not been a general release on CD, as far as I can tell.

A couple of Pete's songs were included as bonus tracks when his 1972 LP "WHO CAME FIRST" was issued on CD, but there are still a few that are not so easy to find. I don't have the "WITH LOVE" LP, and my copy of the "I AM" LP is in pretty bad shape, but my "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" is decent, so here are three rare tracks from that.

An edited version of RONNIE LANE's "Evolution" appeared on the "Who Came First" LP and CD, but the full-length version was only available on "Happy Birthday". Its Ronnie singing, with him and Pete on guitars. Then there's Pete's lovely guitar-and-vocal arrangement of Cole Porter's "Begin The Beguine". The guitar playing is wonderful, but Pete's vocals are a little shaky. Still very nice, and I'm sorry about the vinyl crackles. Last up is "Mary Jane", lyrics by MICHAEL WESTLAKE, music by Pete, and performed by Pete.

EVOLUTION (FULL-LENGTH)
BEGIN THE BEGUINE
MARY JANE

Magazine of the Week #2

In the summer of 1975 it seemed like RON WOOD was everywhere, so it was no surprise to find him gracing the cover of the September 12, 1975 issue of CIRCUS. (You can see where the retailer marked the date the magazine was received on the cover - "8/18".) Click images to enlarge.


Still technically with the FACES, but touring with the STONES, and releasing his second solo album less than a year after the first, Woody was definitely a busy guy. A great issue of CIRCUS, with features on Woody and his "Now Look" LP, the STONES tour, WINGS, and even an interview with LOU REED about his "Metal Machine Music"! Also, a review of the"Metamorphosis" LP. Well worth seeking out.

Satisfaction, Part 2

I think we need a little something to balance out that CICCIOLINA post, so here's the GRATEFUL DEAD with a version of "Satisfaction" from Sarasota Springs, New York, June 24, 1984. At the very end of the song, you can hear them play a little bit of "The Last Time".

SATISFACTION (GRATEFUL DEAD)

Satisfaction

Here's an odd track I found on another blog. Its an Italian disco version of "Satisfaction" from the hard-to-find "Muscolo Rosso" by CICCIOLINA. Apparently, she is also known as ILONA STALLER. Just enjoy the music. 'Nuff said.

SATISFACTION (CICCIOLINA)

Wyman sings

Here's something most of you probably haven't seen before - and many, many thanks to the kind soul who sent this and provided the details.

Sometime after leaving his old band, best-selling author BILL WYMAN became the frontman of an all star band, THE RHYTHM KINGS, starring Britain's Albert Lee, Chris Stainton and Terry Taylor, along with rising star Beverley Skeete. They play mostly club gigs and specialize in playing roots, r'n'b, and blues.

Here's a great audience-shot video from his recent 2005 tour of Europe. It's one of the few numbers they do live with Bill singing, Chuck Berry's "You Never Can Tell":

Adventures in Advertising, Part 4: By the U.S. Mail

I got this in the mail a little while back (click on images to enlarge). Pretty shrewd deal, hooking up with a mortgage company. After all, the only way I could afford the Stones' high ticket prices is if I re-financed my mortgage!

This is not a poor scan in need of cropping - that's exactly how the insert looks. I guess its supposed to be "artsy".

Beatleg Podcasts

The BEATLEG PODCASTS are back! After a holiday break, there are now two new podcasts up.

For those of you who are not aware, the BEATLEG PODCASTS are a series put together by DINSDALEP, focussing on some of the more obscure Beatles and Beatles-related bootleg material. Each podcast is centered around a particular theme (Lennon, Christmas, Wings, Buddy Holly, etc) and uses all sorts of "Beatleg" audio - outtakes, demos, live recordings, interviews. And each one runs about 26 minutes or so, so that three podcasts will fit onto one audio CD. You can stream them, download to your IPod, or just download as MP3s. Plenty of rare material in these, and there are 23 of them so far. The normal schedule is two per week. For details of what's in each podcast, click on the "Podcast Contents List" link. Definitely worth a listen:

MY(P)WHAE is a wonderful blog, and there's always something interesting popping up. You'll want to bookmark this one.

Starbucker

For the U.S. release of GOATS HEAD SOUP in 1973, Atlantic Records used a "cleaned up" version of "Star Star", a song which had already had its title "cleaned up". In an attempt to obscure some of the potentially offensive lyrics, they put an extra vocal part on top of the "keep your pussy clean" line and added some noise over the "get John Wayne before he dies" line. Did they do anything with the Ali McGraw line? I guess not, it sounds pretty clear to me.

Eight years later, the lyrics were still a problem. In England in 1981, Omnibus Press/EMI Music Publishing put out a nice hardcover book called "Rolling Stones Complete", which included sheet music and lyric pages for "180 Stones songs". Take a look at this lyric page for "Star Star". And no mention of Ali McGraw! (No John Wayne, either!) (Click image to enlarge)

There are plenty of good live versions of "Star Star", and I always liked that alternate line that Mick often sings - "Jimmy Page / was quite a rage / I cannot see the reason why". Are there any other alternate live name-dropping lyrics?

So here is the "cleaned up" version, not available on CD, sourced from a vinyl US copy of GOATS HEAD SOUP:

STAR STAR (US VINYL)

Robert Randolph and The Family Band

I saw ROBERT RANDOLPH AND THE FAMILY BAND when they opened for CLAPTON last time around.

(Unfortunately, the show I went to was one of the shows that BILLY PRESTON missed. He was in CLAPTON's band, but was hospitalized during the tour and missed some shows).

Randolph put on a great show. He's very talented, energetic, and entertaining, and he really wailed on that pedal steel.

Live Music Archive has a show from the Avalon Ballroom, Dec 4, 2004, where they did back-to-back "You Gotta Move" and "Shake Your Hips". They're large files, YGM is almost 9 minutes, and SYH is 14 minutes.

Here's the page at the Live Music Archive with the show:
