Notes From YouTube: The latest selection in our Rolling Stones bootleg series documents something very rare: a Stones club show. "The hard gigs are the small ones," Keith Richards explains in the accompanying video interview. "If we can pull it off in a club, we can pull it off anywhere." That's why the band traditionally kicks off each world tour with a surprise appearance in a suitably small space. For the 2005 tour, that space was Toronto's Phoenix club, where several hundred ecstatic fans got to see the group test out new songs from A Bigger Bang, experiment with an alternative arrangement of "19th Nervous Breakdown," and have some fun with covers ranging from Otis Redding's "Mr. Pitiful" to Bob Marley's "Get Up Stand Up."
Again, I love to hear the inside story of as told by the musicians themselves.
I've always liked the Christmas song Merry Christmas Baby. The first version that I ever heard was the blues singer Charles Brown's version.
According to Wikipedia;
"Merry Christmas, Baby" is an R & B Christmas standard written by Lou Baxter and Johnny Moore. It has been covered by many artists including Otis Redding, B.B. King and Chuck Berry. Perhaps the most notable cover of this song is performed by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band recorded live at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, and included on the Christmas album A Very Special Christmas, released in 1987.
Johnny Moore's Three Blazers was one of the hottest blues attractions on the West Coast when their recording of "Merry Christmas, Baby" reached position #3 on Billboard's R & B Juke Box chart during the Christmas of 1947. Guitarist Johnny Moore commandeered an impressive lineup of players for the recording session, including bassist Eddie Williams, guitarist Oscar Moore (then of the King Cole Trio), and singer/pianist Charles Brown[2]. A version of this song, recorded by Bonnie Raitt and Charles Brown, is included on the Christmas album "A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 2", released in 1992.

I always love to hear musicians talk about how they make their music. Expecially when it is musicians who have a history of making really good music like the Rolling Stones.
I think this clip is very cool, and the best part is when Kieth Richards explains the time that he was at a party at Muddy Water's house and woke up at Howlin' Wolf's house.
Try and get your mind around that for a few seconds.
At 87, he's the undisputed king of the blues thanks to the emotional and musical range of his vocal and guitar work.....In 2 different formats - 10CD or 4CD
A very enthusiastic review at artistsdirect 5 out of 5
He's made the perfect debut album. It's indisputably impressive, merging together his own brand of Austin blues, soul, and rock into something truly transcendentRolling Stone 3.5 out of 5
Give Clark credit for striving to be something more than a blues-rock throwback and singing from a troubled heart. And hope that he gets through the narrow portals of pop radio. But on this album, it's still his blues that cut deepest.

Notes from YouTube:
Palpable excitement was rewarded by still more palpable excitement, as
The Rolling Stones took to the stage in London on November 25 2012, even
among the back rows of the vertiginous Level 4 of the O2 Arena.
As the
Sheffield couple, on my right, declared with infectious optimism: "These
are great seats! You can see everything!" I had dreaded these seats, as
I love standing in the first few rows of a concert, but the standing
area, and indeed the entire floor and Level 1 were beyond my price
bracket, yet I wanted to see The Rolling Stones badly. Some songs I
rocked out to, other songs I recorded, but every song was a treat!
The
Rolling Stones really are one of the most exciting bands in the world,
even from Level 4, and age has not withered them! I hope standing is
more affordable when the Stones tour next year, and maybe I can get
closer, lol! Here is "Paint It Black," taken from The Rolling Stones'
1966 album, "Aftermath." :) Find The Rolling Stones here: http://rollingstones.com/ (Artist reserves all rights, no copyright infringement intended).
