I died, JP came back, but he caught Liperson’s disease. So here is this piece of nothing,first draft, hot off the google docs(Drive, but not the Cars song)
(I apologize for breaking the track by track breakdown, I just feel like it would take away from this particular album.So, no rating, I'm sorry)
I am doing a review of a radio broadcast, and just let me give you the gist of the review : I am gushing hard over this on this album.
I have really dug this recording for a very long time. If they released this instead of Got Live, I wouldn't of minded the quality of the recording.
Not to say it is bad, I actually like all the audio fuck ups, like the weird stereo feedback on Mother’s Little Helper, or how you can hear the audio guys move. I dig it. In all honestly, considering the screaming crowd, the limitations of soundboard and speaker/PA systems, it a miracle that this recording is as good as it is.
The performances are actually really good, I would of thought for the final concert of the American tour, The Stones would just phone it in, and I wouldn't blame them for it.
They are energetic, and Keith Richards strums like a mother fucker on Paint It Black, and I love it. Jagger is a dick in a charming way, he messes with the audience, and when he mocks Charlie Watts, Watts just says they are going to play a song they just played. Unfortunately, Wyman’s bass is a little muted, which really takes away from 19th Nervous Breakdown, but ‘tis life.
I found this recording to be interesting, just for the fact that these are fresh Aftermath tracks ( and if you read my Aftermath review you would know that I have a stiffy for it), so they play a lot of new tracks. They play Paint It Black without a stair,which bugged me for a while, but I wouldn't carry around a sitar just to play one song on it, so it’s fair that Jones plays the main line on guitar. The tone of the guitar is pretty good anyway.They do keep the dulcimer for Lady Jane, thankfully. Mother’s Little Helper is might be my favorite track off this one, Jagger just doesn't care with the vocals and Jones is fucking about with feedback, it’s great.
Tracks:
1.Not Fade Away (Has announcer intro)
2.The Last Time
3.Paint It, Black
4.Lady Jane
5.Mother’s Little Helper
6.Get Off Of My Cloude (That’s just what the track spells Cloud)
7.19th Nervous Breakdown
8.(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
You can say that this is a really brief and short concert, but it adds to the charm for me. Now I won’t lie, it is short, almost to a fault. It is barely half an hour. This was common back then though, and I can imagine that the radio station was only going to broadcast so many songs anyways.
So yeah, I love this broadcast.
You sly bastard.
