Stones Vs. Beatles contd. 

Following a weeks quiet in memory of my dear friend Stephen Blackman, who passed away last year on the 4th July, I thought I would catch up some Big O posts at least and as irony would have it the Groobin' Stooves have been busy at both Glasto and the re-play (re-pay? ED No we didn't pay the first time!) of the Hyde Park concert. Irony because it was Stephen who rekindled my interest in the Stones and we deconstructed the many many classic songs like Midnight Rambler in particular and found as many different versions as we could ( I have some more than 50!) Also 'Sympathy for The Devil' and Jean-Luc Godard's film (of course!) One Plus One. Both agreeing the Stones really left us behind when Mick Taylor left, no offence Ronnie really but you're scarcely as good a player as Keef and that's saying something, you don't really need TWO smashed rhythm guitarists do you!? What Stephen's encouragement did do was make me revisit the early albums - all of them! December's Children anyone? I bought the first album when it came out and still have it in MONO! (Young folks won't know what you're talking about!) Between the Buttons? So I found all the early albums with all those classic R'n'B covers and Chuck Berry imitations . . . you know it! Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass)?
'Cool Calm and Collected' anyone?!
'Miss Amanda Jones'?
'Everybody Needs Somebody to Love'?
et al and on and on . . . . . .
50 bootlegs and counting........
Fab!

Always for Stephen Blackman!

First time around...........happier times . . . . . . well, cheaper

For Stephen............honey, it's not one of those

Oh and they posted a early classic Neil Young bootleg known as the rare Gatecrasher concert.........

Neil Young - Gatecrasher 1971

Check this period piece of history . . . .

Good to fair audience recording and tweeked a bit......worth having and in answer to 'James' at Big O who posted that Young hadn't done "anything for the past two decades" and that he stopped listening because he realised why should he "care about Neil when Neil has stopped caring about us" then I suggest you check out Stills Crosby and Nash output for the past two decades and compare. Seems extraordinary to me........

Juss sayin'

Stay loose . . . . . . . . . .
