* It’s been a bit slow on the blog today because I’m still kinda on spring break. Also, Gatehouse’s websites have been crashing my browsers all day and I’m about to lose my mind, which isn’t helpful for getting things done. I’m not sure what tomorrow will bring, either.
In addition to celebrating their 1971 masterpiece Sticky Fingers, the Rolling Stones will release a concert film of a London club gig they played the year that record came out. The release, From the Vault: The Marquee – Live in 1971, will be available on DVD, Blu-ray and digitally June 23rd, with some configurations featuring numerous Stones rarities.
The band performed the gig a few months before the release of Sticky Fingers and used the show to preview nearly half the album, including “Brown Sugar,” “Dead Flowers”… It also served as the first and only time the group played “I Got the Blues” live until dusting it off a handful of times for concerts in 1999.
* And from that new release, watch Mick Taylor wail through “Dead Flowers”…
