Another one from The Warehouse in Toronto. May 2nd 1999. Undeniably the best slide tune Michael ever recorded. It's a beautiful arrangement that has stood the test of time. Check out the great harpin' from Bob Adams -he's definitely strokin' it!
Tony Nolasco - vocal & drums
Mike Harrison - bass
Bob Adams - harp
Mike McKenna - slide guitar
Simply spectacular....Mike McKenna, my fave !!! perfect share thanks tons ! :)

@1charlesallnut: From the horse's mouth dept. -- Perhaps I should add that the band itself counts McKenna, Mendelson, Gerrard, Nolasco, Harrison, Sheppard and Purdy as "original members".

@1charlesallnut: He's not disingenuous, just incorrect. You're taking it out of context. "All original members" means "everyone on stage is an original member," not "all of the band's original members are on stage." While I did note that the "everyone on stage is an original member" meaning is also factually incorrect, my main point was that the Emcee's "all original members" had nothing to do with Joe's presence or absence.

@bass0111 BTW Mike, it's still a fine performance of the song and it's great to hear you, Mike and Tony keeping the Mainline music alive. I think it's just a little disingenuous for this lineup to be introduced as "all original members" when Joe was the co-founder of the band, and writer and singer of this song.

@1charlesallnut: It was intentional. Truth in advertising ...

@bass0111 So I guess it doesn't matter if he said "all THE original members" or "all original members", because, as you kindly (and I think unintentionally) pointed out, neither is true!

@1charlesallnut: You are putting words in his mouth. He didn't say "all THE original members;" he said "all original members," meaning that everyone onstage was an original member (not quite true either -- Bob Adams was new at the time.

It is a myth that Stink was "recorded in a single day". We recorded it at Trident Studios over several sessions in April and May 1969.
