Here is a bit of Jimmy and Joe. Jimmy’s daughter does backing vocals for Joe as well. What a voice, what guitar work!

Cheers Neil!  Strong contender for the best song the Stones ever did.

I don't think I could ever separate at least 10 Stones songs to pick one that is the best.  Gimme Shelter, Factory Girl, Sweet Virginia, Sympathy For the Devil, Can't Always Get What You Want, Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Spider & the Fly, Ruby Tuesday, Paint it Black etc etc... so many brilliant songs.

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!

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

Tough task HT. There's tons of live Stones stuff to be found on the www these days. Including some early gigs. Thought I'd make myself a playlist on Spotify of a few favourite live tracks. Bloody thing goes for two and a half hours. All awesome

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.

See if this brings back a few more NC. This is pretty much how I remember Thorpie. Dirtiest guitar sound ever with everything dialled up to speaker-exploding levels. I was too young for Sunbury or to get into The Whitehorse back in those days but it must have been something else !

I think your description of Thorpie is pretty much spot on Biff. 

In the year prior to Sunbury,  we had Thorpie play at our school dance. During a break between sets, I was prompted to ask Thorpie to play Somewhere over the Rainbow. I was told in no uncertain fashion that playing that song again would ruin his image (there were a few adjectives thrown in for good measure). Yet an inspired decision saw him play the song at Sunbury the following year, where it was a raging success. 

While I am not going to take credit for the songs revival - I probably could.

Another Sunbury fav:

The first band that I was ever in in 1972, got to open for BT & the Aztecs at the Werribee Civic Centre (or whatever it was called) and the bastards wouldn’t let us use their PA system, so we had to hire a little Strauss system that could barely be heard 20 metres from the stage. We’d done another gig there a few weeks before that, opening for Daddy Cool and they let us go through their system and gave us a really nice mix. I have to say I wasn’t much of an Aztecs fan after that experience.

Here is another blues guitarist I have discovered in lockdown. Gary Clark Jr. He does know how to play a guitar I think. Cool dude! Here is Bright Lights.

Saw him at Bluesfest a few years ago... he’s fantastic. My band sometimes covers his song China Doll. If you watch the movie ‘Chef’, he appears playing in an outdoor area surrounded in food trucks, in, I think, Austin, Texas.

Billy was a legend, no doubt about that...one of the first live show I went to was Billy at the Box Hill Town Hall.

The first band I remember seeing in concert was Carson supporting John Mayall at Festival Hall...the other support was Company Caine.

Broderick left a huge impression on me and to this day he's probably my favourite singer in 'Oz

Kirk Fletcher and Josh Smith are another couple worth a listen if you haven't already 'Earl'.

Jack Pearson in almost any genre...plays great blues, did a short stint with the Allman's until Dicky Betts killed his ears...The Nashville guys revere him.

I had the privilege of meeting and photographing this guy in Sydney about three years ago.  He's not into all of the histrionics and pyrotechnics that so many guitar heroes are into, but maybe that's why Albert Lee has always been one of my favourite guitarists (Steve Morse and Vince Gill aren't too shabby either); he just plays the thing...

A wonderful guitar player 'hardtack'...

Funny story, kinda backs up what you are saying about him being very unassuming.

One of the top LA session guys got called to a producers house (think it was a film producer) to lay down some country licks.

As he pulled up he noticed Albert mowing the lawn next door.

When he finished his work he said to the producer, "you know all this stuff I'm playing I got from your next door neighbour."

A little more Albert...

Another of my heroes right there, Dave Edmunds! We do a couple of his tunes, Worn Out Suits (With Brand New Pockets), and Standing at the Crossroads Again.

Here’s a bit more Dicky Betts. But the reason I’m posting this is that he’s joined for the second number by another of my favourite guitarists, Brian Setzer. The dueling guitars are amazing and the tone that Setzer gets is just something else. He was still essentially a new kid on the block in ‘84, but boy could he play that thing!! Even Betts looked a little gobsmacked! Enjoy!

It was remiss of me not to post this.

...but one of the great acoustic guitar players and one of my guitar heroes Tony Rice passed away on Christmas day.

Tony was at the forefront of new bluegrass for want of a better title.

The first time I heard him was on a David Grisman album called "Hot Dawg"...just brilliant.

I'm lucky to have a copy of the CD, lucky because I looked it up last week and found it going for around US$900+ on Amazon.

Probably my all time favourite acoustic instrumental album, it has a cover of Django's "Minor Swing" with Stefan Grappelli guesting.

Tony was a beautiful singer but suffered some muscle issue and lost that singing voice a number of years back, then to cap it off over the last 10 years he had issues with his elbow that virtually stopped him playing. He wouldn't perform if he couldn't play like Tony Rice.

Play and sing it again Tony...

I've still got the vinyl copy of that album, in excellent nick, purchased in the late 70s.

Wonder what that might be worth to the right collector?

I think I've got the vinyl somewhere as well.

...but looking at prices strangely enough that was still around the regular price.

Of course the prices could all be "tell 'em your dreaming" prices

Killer album though.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
