Went to see him at The Palais in '19 I think. Was familiar with his work with Beth Hart but knew nothing of his solo stuff except his reputation as a guitarist. Went with my mate who's a massive fan & rather than study up beforehand, decided to go in cold. Great gig. Amazing band, amazing backup singers - Mahalia Barnes, Jade MacRae & another lass from Sydney who's name escapes me at the moment. A mouth watering array of guitars he used and he played the hell out of every one of them. Much better singer & entertainer than I was expecting as well. Loved it.

Your post has prompted me to share one of my favourite parts of YouTube. Joe Bonamassa & Jimmy Barnes covering Deep Purple's "Lazy". Barnsey is no Ian Gillan but he does a great job here. Nine minutes of joy.

 

I was at the Joe Bonamassa gig at the Palais too. He's great, and his band was white hot.

I've also seen Mahalia live. At Bird's Basement. She's great too.

    Righteous suggestions one and all there, hardtack and I couldn't argue with any of them.

    I'd also nominate B!tch,  Sway, Monkey Man, Moonlight Mile, Rocks Off, Rip This Joint, Loving Cup, Waiting On A Friend, Winter, Beast Of Burden, Tumbling Dice, Let It Loose, Street Fighting Man, Jumping Jack Flash and Stray Cat Blues. 

     *phew*  I'd better stop there.  It's a big field!

    My favourite (by a fair margin) is Can't You Hear me Knocking.

    I'd also add Happy and Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) to those suggestions.

    'Can't You Hear Me Knocking' really showcases Mick Taylor's exquisite lead guitar chops in all their glory.  If push came to shove, I think I'd opt for Sticky Fingers as my favourite Stones' album, just edging out Exile On Main Street and Let It Bleed.

    In the early 80s, I saw Mick playing with John Mayall's band at a venue on the Upper Esplanade in St Kilda that I'm pretty sure no longer exists.  The show was, naturally enough, very blues based but Mick's playing was worth the price of admission alone, especially for a Stones freak like myself who, at that stage, had never seen them in concert. 

    Any Stones' nut worth their salt would recall that Mick of course was originally recruited by the Stones in 1969 while he was a member of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.

    It's funny what we like... I rate Beggar's Banquet as my favourite, followed by Exile, Let It Bleed and then Sticky Fingers.

    Those are usually regarded as 'the big four' albums by most Stones fans and they are all outstanding. 

    This was the Rolling Stones at their peak and they were produced in a remarkable four-year sequence from 1968 to 1972 with the greatest live album of all time, 'Get Yer Ya-Yas Out', in the middle of it all.  

    Ya-Yas is apparently a slang term for breasts, which may help explain Charlie's t-shirt on the cover!

    I rate The Who’s Live at Leeds album as equal to, if not better than, Ya Yas, as the greatest live album.

    Have you heard B. B. King's "Live At The Regal"?   The audience interplay is just amazing.

    James Brown's "Live At The Apollo" is also highly regarded in the pantheon of live recordings.

    Don’t think I’ve heard the BB King one. Love the James Brown one. Was lucky enough to see James Brown live twice.

    I haven't heard that one, Bingers.  Wiki informs me that it was issued in 1975 and achieved gold status.

    When "Agents Of Fortune" came out in 1976, I bought it on the strength of the outstanding single "Don't Fear The Reaper" then doubled up the following year with "Spectres" which contained another great song, "Godzilla".

    Although I still have both LPs, neither have seen the turntable for decades now.  Time to redress that!

    Demonstone ... I had Agents of Fortune, but was a little disappointed with it, other than DFTR. The 1975 live album leaves their studio albums for dead.

    Thanks for the reminder @demonstone. I'd not listened to "Live At The Regal" for years. Cracking album & his band is amazing. They make a couple of horns sound like Count Basie's Orchestra.

    As live albums go I'm also a big fan of "Ya-Ya's". It's a great example of the differences in Mick Taylor & Keith Richard's guitar playing and how they complemented each other. Brilliantly showcased in "Sympathy For The Devil"


    My "go-to" live albums though are Sam Cooke's "Live At Harlem Square" and Lyryrd Skynyrd's "One More From The Road". My most prized vinyl possessions.

    My favourite Stones albums in order, Exile, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Beggars Banquet.

    Absolute classic. Must have been one of the earliest live albums in the rock era, and is raw and driving, in contrast to Cooke’s sweet soul reputation; consequently the record company wouldn’t release till the mid 80s for fear of tarnishing his image. Liner notes won a Grammy for the great writer, Peter Guralnick.

    And fwiw, Let It Bleed is top of my Stones hit parade - dark, brooding, great! And love Ya-Ya’s as a live album. Saw them when they were here in the last decade, and while they were very polished it was not as engaging as early-mid years Stones. However when Mick Taylor joined them on stage for Midnight Rambler (iirc) - that was special!

    Speaking of favourite live albums I think mine would be "Sinatra at the Sands with Count Basie & the Orchestra"...great tunes, singing, playing & arrangements by a young Quincy Jones.

    ...and on the topic of "Ya Yah's", my favourite version of the Stones is definitely the Mick & Keith guitar duo..

    ...also, did Charlie screw up th strat on 'Little Queenie'? he's accenting 1 & 3 then switches over to 2 & 4 when the vocal kicks in. If anyone has an original pressing (I haven't heard this for years) I'm sure Mick say's in humour & making a point "Charlie's playing well tonight", this has been cut from later versions...

    Charlie's having a bit of fun by letting rip with a series of fills between songs and Jagger says "Charlie's good tonight, innee?", much to the delight of the crowd.

    Tim Rogers, Ross McLennan, Davey Lane and some other Aussie music luminaries formed a group to play tribute to "Ya-Yas" on its 40th anniversary and called themselves "Charlie's Good Tonight".  

    Tim and others also played under the moniker of "Monkey Man" to do a "Let It Bleed" tribute and as recently as last month did a gig (with Tex Perkins, Adalita et al) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Sticky Fingers".

    Tim's a huge Stones fan and has the famous tongue and lips logo tattooed on his upper arm (just like me!).

    Don’t know about the lot on screen, but drummer Coxy is a keen Dee who was with them at one stage (not on this video though).

    I didn't know Coxy is a Dee...

    He filled in with LRB for Derek Pellicci (original drummer) when he had an accident. 

    David Briggs, the guitar player is another Demon.

    So awesome. How amazing is Lisa Fischer ?

    There is a brilliant doco called "20 Feet From Stardom" about backing singers. In it Merry Clayton recalls doing the "Gimme Shelter" recording session. "I'm gonna blow 'em outta the room". I highly recommend checking out the full doco but here's Merry's bit

    A bit of lockdown music to kick off the day.

    I first saw John Hiatt supporting Robert Cray at the concert hall around '91 I think.

    What a charismatic performer (not to mention great writer), I had never heard of him before this show and was hooked from the first bar.

    As for Robert, well a little bit underwhelming to be honest. Hiatt was the star of this show & a hard act to follow.

    The new album with Jerry Douglas is a cracker...by the way, is that a "whammy bar" on Jerry's dobro?

    Enjoy!

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
