Since there has been some talk about the Stones I took this song from my playlist. The Stones appeared on Top Of The Pops, England's American Bandstand, back in 65'. 'The Last Time' appeared on their album 'Out of Our Heads' also released in 1965. Many years later, Keith Richards admitted the song was based on a traditional gospel song called "This May Be The Last Time", recorded by The Staple Singers in 1955. Shame. Shame. Great song just the same and one of my very favorite Stones songs.

Yes there is a resemblance between the two songs but it's not like George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and the Chiffons' "He's So Fine". They mainly took the "This may be the last time, I don't know" line. BTW, the infectious riff was created and played by Brian Jones, not Keith Richards. It's one of my favs, too

This double shot of rare Stones goes out to Ms Munster, to who I've been sending some live tracks and outtakes via email these past few days. Sorry for flooding your email inbox Ms Munster. LOL! Enjoy these Very early version of "Shine A Light", supposedly written about Brian Jones. Since this was recorded several years earlier than the song which eventually made the "Exile On Main Street" album, it is unclear whether or not that's actually Brian on slide guitar. The lyrics were entirely re-written and the song given a new title before it was officially released. (Link to video deleted because it was dead.) And now for something completely different... How do you like your Rice Krispies? The Stones recorded this advertising jingle in 1963 and did so only on condition that they would not be identified as the band playing. The music is by Brian Jones, the words are by some advertising agency guy. OK, I know I said "double shot" but I can't resist another one. This one is from the very underrated "Goats Head Soup" album. I'm dedicating this one to Mick Taylor, who probably had a hand in writing it even though he was not credited. Check out his solo at the end!

Ms. Blue, what a nice surprise to find! I never knew the Stones recorded a jingle for Rice Krispies. If I had known I would have been buying them instead of Captain Crunch. Since the Stones weren't so famous in '63 you might not have known that was MJ singing. Looking back, it's a dead give away. It put a big 'ole smile on my face. A different version of 'Shine A Light' indeed but I loved it. MJ sounds a bit...gravelly but I like it. It should of found a home somewhere. I listened to it 3 times already. Goat Heads Soup...Yep, way underrated. 'Heartbreaker' was a big hit in NY as was 'Angie' but it certainly didn't get the recognition like its predecessors. Mick Taylor has some fine work on this album and on '100 Years Ago' he's sounding good. Great song but 'Winter' is my favorite. It's funny how Mick Taylor can be in a band like the Stones and go completely under the radar as a guitar player. One of R & R' greatest conundrums. Thank you so much for the Blue for the dedication. It's raining in NY but you made my day sunny.
You can keep stuffing my email box with the Stones. I get a gazillion junk emails a day it's good to find something worthwhile. I have them all put away for safe keeping. I love the Rolling Stones. Thanks, AGAIN, Blue. Looking forward to more.

Glad I made your day more pleasant Ms Munster Here's another one of my favourite outtakes, and a much-loved one among Stones fans. It's a long jam on a Muddy Waters song, "Still A Fool". Sometimes called "Two Trains". This one is just too big to be sent by email This outtake is from the "Beggars Banquet" sessions. Mick Jagger on the harmonica, Brian Jones on slide guitar.

Another good one! I am not familiar with Muddy Waters music (yeah, yeah I know) but I know the Stones are big fans of the blues. It's good to hear Brian Jones. Sad to know that Beggars Banquet was his last album with the Stones even though there are 2 tracks on Let It Bleed featuring BJ. There are also 2 tracks with MT, too. I always referred to Let It Bleed as the Stones transition album. Mick Taylor played the bass on Live With Me as I recall. Ha Ha. Never figured out why. Thanks Blue for another great pick.
PS I think the Stones might be slowly taken over the forum.

This Sticky Fingers re-issue/re-master is getting a lot of attention. Why not? Some of the greatest music ever put onto a piece of vinyl (Haven't I said that somewhere before??) and the Stones at their peak of creativity. Yep, I said this before and it's bears repeating. The very first rock album I bought at the tender age of twelve and I was never the same. What a great preview, Blue. I just did a little searching and discovered that the live songs were recorded at the Roundhouse in London, 1971 when Mick Taylor was still a Rolling Stone. I have seen the Stones many phases but their early live performances out do anything they perform today. I loved the version of Midnight Rambler, too, but I will still go with Get Yer Ya Ya's Out. The studio version is a dim comparison to the live recording which was recorded in my hometown, NYC at MSG November 1969. Don't get much better than that. A former co-worker attended one of those two shows and sat right next to Janis Joplin. I turned green every time I looked at him after that.
Listening to Honky Tonk Women reminded me of one of the shows I attended when during the chorus about thirty or so floozy looking women took the stage. They climbed the stairs on either side where there was a bridge going across and danced and waived throughout the remainder of the song. The best one, however, was in 1975 when an inflated dildo came out of Charlie Watts bass drum, extended over the audience, and shot colored confetti. Then MJ got on top joined by a few audience members and rode it. Now that was a hard act to follow.
I love all these Stones clips, Blue. Keep 'em coming.

I only listened to 'Bitch so far which is another one of my favorite RS songs. I love the extended version but could you please tell me what MJ is singing? I hear some lyrics from the SF version then I don't. Then it seems like he is repeating the same lyrics over and over but it's mostly mumbling. I wonder if the lyrics were even finished when this was recorded 'cause it don't seem like it. I didn't get a chance to listen to the other video yet but I will. Thank you again Ms. Blue.

I was only 3 when the Beatles hit the American shore. I had my favorite Beatles hat and 45's and thought I was the coolest kid this side of the Mississippi river. I do not consider myself a true fan but I am a fan of their early music. Here are a few.

Here's one of my favourite Beatles songs. Few people know this song because it was on a mediocre album which didn't sell well. Half the "songs" on the album weren't even songs and weren't even by the Beatles! They were instrumental pieces taken from the film "Yellow Submarine". Fans weren't fooled and they shunned the album. But in doing so, they missed out on this great song.

My friend Ted Selke (former bass player for Mr. Crowd's Garden, which later became The Black Crowes) recommended this to me a few years ago, and it blew my mind! The Band is called Captain Beyond, and was founded by the remaining members of Deep Purple, including the lead singer. They are an absolutely amazing band, especially on their first album, which was recorded in 1971 and released in 1972. Enjoy, y'all!

Half the "songs" on the album weren't even songs and weren't even by the Beatles! They were instrumental pieces taken from the film "Yellow Submarine". Fans weren't fooled and they shunned the album. But in doing so, they missed out on this great song. They were stung by the criticism of giving poor value for money (you couldn't get discounted LP's and singles in those days, at least in the UK, and had to pay the full list price wherever you bought the record), so they compiled an alternate 'Yellow Submarine' 5 track EP to replace the LP; the four songs previously unavailable on record plus the then unreleased first version of 'Across the Universe' as an extra. It was all set to go but in the end they decided not to release it, pity they didn't issue it in the first place I think. You're right about 'Hey Bulldog' though, a little gem, but I hate that original 1968 stereo mix with the lead vocal panned hard right and the drums off to the left, unbalanced and irritating especially if you listen on headphones. Even in 1968 after 5 or 6 years they were still having occasional problems with stereo mixing, almost like they were trying to impress on you that you hear certain things left, and other things right. As usual the mono mix of that song is much better but I'll see your version with the remixed stereo from 'Yellow Submarine Songtrack' (1999)... ... and raise you with the 1968 mono of 'Helter Skelter', better version, no un-necessary fade out and fade up,-they'd already done that on 'Strawberry Fields Forever' 18 months earlier, and a better mix too I think, particularly the lead and backing vocals.

Professional child groupie Lori Maddox growing older, still playing the same game with Sylvain Sylvain of New York Dolls: The groupie thread lead me to youtube to look at some of the videos there and I found a series of videos on the New York Dolls with guitarist Sylvain Sylvain and he had some very interesting things to say like naming the bands who copied them from KISS to Aerosmith and others... Looks like this band ripped off the Stones!

Looks like this band ripped off the Stones! I don't hear or see the Stones at all here. I'll admit that the singer probably looked at videos of Mick Jagger and tried to borrow some of his style. But the rest of the band is much too effeminate. The Stones were never like that! And the music is punkish, not at all like the mellow "Goats Head Soup" album which the Stones released that year.

OK, maybe I don't hear the Stones, but I certainly see some fool trying to rip Jagger and his moves off!
Tonight I was reading the old FreeBird magazines and then hunting down some of the obscure artists mentioned inside, and while searching youtube I came across a band from Minneapolis, Mn. called Gypsy that came on after the band I was looking for ended and it automatically rolled over to the next video it happened to be this next one shown here by Gypsy called "Dead and Gone." This sound is so dated and you surely do not hear a sound like this any more! Really a cool old track. I am going to look up more from this band...

OK, maybe I don't hear the Stones, but I certainly see some fool trying to rip Jagger and his moves off! We can agree on that! This guy probably saw Mick Jagger when he looked at himself in the mirror. Nice try... give him an "A" for effort!

This sound is so dated and you surely do not hear a sound like this any more! Really a cool old track. I am going to look up more from this band... It's an interesting song. The poster seen at the beginning of the video is SO late 60s! I'd never heard of this band so I googled them and came up with this Wikipedia article: The discography is comprised of four albums and a couple of singles. The Doors were the house band at the Whisky a Go Go club a couple of years before Gypsy. The joint's owner wasn't too happy with the middle section of this song and he fired the band after they premiered it.
