they put up .. at the beginning .. Charlie is a slew of pace and jageer not entered into the rhythm but I soon came out of the slip .. I like this slip .. interesting how they go ... where are the musicians in Leeds?
THE STONES...There's been better singers than Mick, better guitar players,drumers, bassplayers than any of them. Combined though they make the best band ever. Amazing how many great songs they've wrote and lots of good covers. More amazing is they might not be what they once were, but still going and GREAT.
@Natalie78644 I've always said the same. Keith isn't Hendrix, Page or Pete Townsend. Bill's not JP Jones or John Entwhistle. Charlie's not Moon or Bonham, but they weren't trying to be they just were the best as a band. Although I love The Who, Led Zeppelin and Pink floyd too, I just don't listen to them much any more, most of the Stones music is timeless for me.
I knew I had heard a better live version of Stray Cat Blues from that era, than the Milan 1970 set, so I am guessing you are right that it must have been the Leeds 1971 concert ... either way its still a great track ... As far as the Stones are concerned, unfortunately it is the 2000's and not the 1970's and one cannot turn back the clock nor reverse the ageing process ... unless maybe through genetic engineering they could clone a young version of Mick Taylor! ... lol
I hate to dampen the enthusism of the poster but stunning this is not ... truly this is a rather mediocre renditon of a real Stones classic from Beggar's Banquet ... Listen to the Milan bootleg from 1970 (even better than the Ya Ya's version from 69) and despite the patchy quality of the recording you will get a totally different feeling about this song .. Mick Taylor's superb lead guitar and the interplay with Keith's melodic rythym, Jagger's raw vocals, the whole sound is infinitely better.
honestly Leeds 71 beats the shit out of Milan 1970 (horns were wonderful back then and added new dynamic to the song), but it's 00s not 70s anymore.. ;)
Yeah, not a good version of this song. Listen to the version on Ya Ya's and compare. Mick doesn't even attempt the high parts on this version posted, not only that but why are a bunch of pianos, keys, and backup singers doing in the song? That's not rock and roll. The Stones need to get rid of these extra singers and keyboard players and just strip down to a hard raw rock band like in the late 60's up until the mid 70's. Uggg this version sucks!
You're an idiot and you don't know what Rock n' Roll is. No piano or horns? Are you fuckin' high? Little Richard? Jerry Lee Lewis? Fats Domino? Elvis? Chuck Berry? Besides, the Stones have been around so long and contributed so much to the form that whatever they decide is Rock n' Roll is Rock n' Roll. But you are right about this version, they fucked it up at the beginning, but after they get back on track it sounds pretty good.
Excellent. Thank you for noting the first great rock 'n' roll artist, Mr. Richard Penniman, aka Little Richard. I've listened to Little Richard for 47 years. It blows my mind that Long Tall Sally, Rip It Up, Ready Teddy, Keep a Knockin' aren't known by all. Piano and saxes were the main instruments, with sax soloing. Amazing. Had Little Richard been on Chess and Mr. Berry been on Specialty, we'd be discussing Mr. Bobby Keys and Mr. Keith Richards' dynamic interplay and grand texture of sound.
Well, the timing is certainly off at first. Anyone can hear that. Nothing personal, but definitely not "stunning". If you like this, perhaps you should listen to the ya ya's out and the interplay between Keef and Mick Taylor. Now that is fine music. I'm sure you will notice the difference.
after the fuck up in the beginning its fine they probably had monitor problems its happenes all the time, thanks for posting this i cant find any versions of stray cat blues anywhere!!!
I was watching this show ,standing in the middle of comerica park in detroit one summer evening and it came to me like a freight train thru the temple. there is no live stones without Mick Taylors supurb guitar work and the stones have been milking their heyday for 35 years.very sad. this version sucks! and I am an old stones freak dating back to the brian jones days. theyre a skeleton of their old selves.
No no this lost the raw feel it has on Beggars Banquet. Is it just me or are the Stones starting to sound the same over and over again? They dont play the songs like they used to...all the guitars sound like they want to play Start me Up
awful audio output.
regardless of the value of the live version.

The worst version of this song ever heard.
Where our Stones are finished?
Three drunk men an a drunk dog.
Rolling Stones were my favourite band and I grew up with their music.
Bill Wyman does treasure hunting with his detector, he did realize it was the best thing to do. He's a right man.
