I noticed that Nils Lofgren of recent E Street Band fame had written a song Keith Richards titled "Keith Don't Go" and covered "Happy." I was wondering if anyone new anything about their friendship, if any. (I haven't heard either song). I also noticed a song called "Happy" on Springsteen new boxed set of unreleased songs and I wondered if that was a cover of the Stones hit. Are there any other notable songs written about the Stones? 2. I was reading in "Life on the Road" on page 177 about a blind girl whom Keith helped for years was the reason that was released from jail in Canada and did the benefit concerts instead. Does anyone know more about this? Thanks --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: Bolinhed@aol.com Subject: new Mick T boot - Jaxx 7/31/99 This review is in the new Live! Music Review - December 1999 issue - a new Mick T bootleg: MICK TAYLOR: "Throwing Stones at Jaxx." LABEL : J & J (A Cd-R label) # 64/65. Cd-Rs: time 50:18 and 62:32. VENUE: Jaxx Niteclub, Springfield VA 7/31/99. SOUND QUALITY: Full-bodied audience recording with slightly muffled vocals (9) COVER: Attractive close-up pictures of Taylor from the show. Alternate photos from the show are printed on the discs. With his hair freshly coiffed, Taylor looks far younger than he should. Beautiful job! TRACKLIST: Disc One: Secret Affair/ Twisted Sister/ Losing My Faith/ Down To The River/ You Shook Me Disc Two: Going South/ Blues In The Morning/ All Along the Watchtower > Blind WIllie McTell > Red House/ Blues Encore w/ Oye Como Va. COMMENTS: Mick Taylor has lived on his reputation for the past 25 years since he left the Rolling Stones, rarely moving past pedestrian blues performed with pedestrian bands. On the rare occasions that he has teamed up with other quality musicians, he has been brilliant. The fact that he still retains most of his guitar-playing talents lets him get away with making a living off of unspectacular shows. This show rarely gets beyond "typical" but it does have its moments. For hard-core fan and guitar geeks only. Uh...you can count me in." - review by Bill Glahn. That's the review!!! I would be curious to hear the "Down To The River" and the "Blues Encore with Oye Como Va." Anyone? --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: KurtKleiner@t-online.de (Kurt Kleiner) Subject: Re: Keith outtake?? > Can anyone verify whether or not the Far Away Eyes > outtake featuring Keith on vocals(from the Keith boot > cd Rolling His Own),is authentic? The vocals don't > sound like him to my ears. Anyone heard this one yet? It's not Keith who's singing but Mick on this outtake. There's no version sung by Keith. Don't know why this wrong rumour is going around. Kurt --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: Al Buitenhuys > Subject: free_the_stones@stones.com That was a great article, one of the best I've ever read in the Journal, and I've been a subscriber since the first issue. The writer captured the "Stones Fever" that I've had since I heard the first playing of "It's All Over Now" through the tinny speaker of my small AM radio in my bedroom in 1964. Now, as I listen to my Japanese remastered stereo version of "Satisfaction" I look at my collection of "only" seventy Stones' CDs and have to listen to my other half ask me what difference does it make if you have a song in four versions or if you've seen the Stones four times why do you want to see them again? Some people just don't get it. Fortunately, the writer and I both get it. --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: thomas e atkins > Subject: Voodoo Brew Re: Marks post on Voodoo Brew Voodoo Brew on VG? I don't think that they ever released Voodoo Brew. Vigatone released it and now SM has remastered it. I'm lucky, no rot here! Tom in NC --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: Mike Knight > Subject: Memphis Blues - 1999 I've just purchased a 2 CDR recording of Memphis Blues-1999, the No Security concert at the Memphis Pyramid. It's not a wonderful recording, with the exception of the last 5 songs (just after the small stage performance). Can anyone advise if this is a compilation from Memphis and some other concert? Is there a better recording? My copy doesn't indicate the maker. Thanks, Mike --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: David Hart > Subject: posting for next SFJ Hi SFJ'ers welcome to the new millenium i have a question (trivia) for you.... i have come up with 8 songs played live by all three #2 guitarists with the stones (Jones Taylor and Wood) to the best of my knowledge there are only 8 songs all three played LIVE.... in some cases there are multiple "playings" of a song by the guitarist....in other cases just a few or even one... they are: SONG JONES TAYLOR WOOD ============================================================================ =========== satisfaction 65-68 mostly 69 various tours j.j. flash 68 various tours various tours sympathy 68 mostly 69 various tours can't always get 68 various tours various tours route 66 64,65,68 73 76,77,98 under my thumb 66,67 69 various tours its all over now 64-66 73 94 no expectations 68 69,73 90's ============================================================================ =========== i was not able to find any other song ALL 3 PLAYED LIVE.... anyone know of any other songs?????? good luck david hart --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: Sticky Fingers Journal > Subject: Re: Mick and Jerry's New Year's Mickluvr1@aol.com wrote: >Mick and Jerry's plans changed to Mustique.

(founding of The Rolling Stones in 1963) by Bob Cannon Entertainment Weekly Inc. 1992 The British band got rolling in the studio 29 years ago SURE, LIVERPOOL 1963 was Beatles territory. But in London, same year, one of the most rough-and -ready acts on the R&B scene was the Rollin'(the "g" was addded later) Stones , a six-piece outfit then in residence at the Craw-daddy Club. The lad--Brain Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richard (the "s" was added later), Bill Wyman, pianist Ian Stweward, and new drummer Charlie Watts--were hot on stage, but they also wanted to make a record. So on March 11,1963, they set up shop IBC Studios on Portland Place for their first recording session ever. Like good purists, they stuck to their R&B roots: Bo Diddley, Willie Dixon, and Jimmy Reed. Then, with five minutes remaining in the three-hour session, they added Reed's "Bright Lights, Big City." Record exces were less than thrilled with the results. (They thought the Stones' R&B sounded too raw to be commerciall; indeed, these versions were never released.) But the boys were undaunted. On May 1, they signed a management contract with 19 year-old Andrew loog Oldham, who had been an assistant to beatles manager Brain Epsteun. Oldham moved quickly: He demoted Stewart to road manager and studio-only pianist, and he arranged a recording deal with Dick Rowe, the head of A&R for Decca Records. On the evening of May 10, the Stone did their first session for Decca, recording Chuck Berry's "Come On" and Dixon's "I Want to Be Loved." Mick Jaggar later recalled the night as "a bunch of bloody amateurs, ignorant as hell, making a hit single," while Oldham remembered howling. "This is the first session I ver ever handled! I don't know a damned thing about recording--or music, for that matter." What he did know, however, was how to market his clients stressing their untidy appearance and sullen demeanor. "By the time I got through planting all that negative publicity," he later said, "there wasn't a parent in Britain that wasn't replused by the very sound of their name. " They stayed raw the stayed sullen . They stayed Stones. -- End -- --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: HoTTsK8eR12@aol.com Subject: hey whats up does rolling stones have an albom called symphathy of the devil? well write back ok c u later --------------------SFJ-------------------- From: "jonathan doran" > Subject: Wayne Perkins From: "naked" >Subject: mick taylor-live -1/28;wayne perkins > question: i read that when taylor quit,they auditioned "wayne perkins". >i've read that that people said at the time his style was close to that >of taylor's.

I received lots of emails from other people asking if I found them to please let them know. Alas, I still haven't got a line on them, but I'm still looking. I remember tongue air fresheners (haven't seen them for years), I was hoping that some marketing genius had gotten around to selling quality frames, but I guess not. Once again, if anyone has a line on these please email me. I'll pass along the info if they exist.

This is not a stones questions but a music question. There seem to be so many knowledgeable people on this list I'm sure someone can help me. I want to find a single that is out of print. Is there a web site that people sell CD's? I don't know the difference of CD, CDR etc. I just want to be able to play the song while driving my car. Thanks for any assistance you can provide and have a great new year.

Well, it's nice to have a different version to listen too and us Stones fans want to hear them all to see what they are all about. Most importantly, we want the best version(s)! Free The Stones add much to SFJ and I salute them for their hard work in bringing us high-quality, professionally written articles since SFJ started in 1996.
