A little afternoon delight

* 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.

But in the meantime, check this out…

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”…

Back in “the day” I knocked around in several bands playing guitar, drums, horns, etc… Keith and Charlie remind me why I was so much more successful with a trowel in my hand.

Stones will perform at Summerfest in Milwaukee this summer.

Hope concert film is better than Rock and Roll Circus. VH1 got me so pumped and it wasnt all that great lol.

Aschockedobserver, I thought the Who was excellent on that show.

@ Amalia - ” oh to be in the ’70s and be young, all of us!”

I heard the Stones in NYC in 1969 at Madison Square Garden. I am feeling old now.

I remember getting in a huge fight back in the day with a buddy who insisted that this wasn’t a country song because it was the Rolling Stones, lol.

All the acts were good. I just went against Flava Flav’s advice and I believed the hype.

Sweet playing by Mick Taylor (love that SG too!). Rich - you obviously have the best musical taste in the state capitol.

Just straight, no-frills rock. That’s the essence. I love stripped-down bands with just the basics. I love Keith’s backing vocals. Thanks for sharing.

My favorite part of Rock & Roll Circus is when John Lennon introduces the Stones - “and now…”

Last saw the Stones on Oct. 8, 1989 at Arrowhead Stadium in KCMO. Epic show. Love this youtube, looking forward for the entire show when it’s released.

…and Mick Taylor kicks the proverbial buttocks.

Tickets for the Stones @ Summerfest go on sale April 10 to the general public. Summerfest is the smallest venue they’ll be playing on their Zipcode tour. They’re not playing Chicago.

You could just do what Gatehouse print reader began doing long ago: Stop reading Gatehouse stuff.
Problem solved.

So good!

Unfortunately, it appears Jagger has decided that the other Mick will not be joining them on this tour. Some say it was a $$ thing.
