Regarding comments on post-dubbing of live records by Stones:
There's was a potentially fantastic cover of C&W song  "I'm Moving On" 
by Snow? orHank Williams?] (on that horribly 1960s live concert record) 
that is just about destroyed by post-concert mixing/adding screamin', 
keening female fans in the audience.  

>Well, I didn't say it was hugely disappointing, just not nearly as exciting as
>that era of Stones' concerts appears to be. I mean, did they really need 20% of
>the tracks on here to be Chuck Berry covers?  --Philip

Probably because Chuck Berry was/is an idol of Keith Richard[s].  Did you 
ever see the 1986 documentary about a special concert in St. Louis? 
that Richards organized (and played in back-up band) for Berry's 60th?

It's got some fantastic footage of Keith Richards in a beautifully tacky 
southern bar pleading (almost begging) with a lazy, jaded, 
couldn't-give-a-shit-just-give-me-my-$10k-for-showing-up 
Berry to put some serious time and effort into the concert rehearsal 
sessions being held several weeks before birthday show.

"The band was led by Keith Richards and featured Berry's 
regular pianist, Johnnie Johnson, Richards' regular pianist, 
Chuck Leavell, Rolling Stones sax player Bobby Keys, bassist 
Joey Spampinato from NRBQ, and drummer Steve Jordan from Richards' 
solo band. The guests included Robert Cray, Eric Clapton, Julian Lennon, 
and Etta James."

PS:  I'd love to hear Television cover the Stones "19th Nervous Breakdown".
In the beginning of live versions of "Glory" Verlaine does this wonderful 
fret-work [using the entire length of neck?] that I always thought 
was a semi-homage to K. Richards' analogous fret-work  stuff on "19th 
Nervous Breakdown".

Can one of the zillion (ok,just 90 of you) musicians on MM list, 
please correct my painfully inept attempt to describe these 
two parallel finger-work on guitar with more technically correct 
description or more vivid words?
