Mick Jagger and Fergie are on fire on this version of Gimme Shelter -- Bono and Will-i-Am are good too. What a great concert -- the 2009 25th Anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Same concert: Patti Smyth, Bruce Springsteen and Bono and U2 in Because the Night:

[More..]

And Springsteen and John Fogarty in a really high energy version of Fortunate Son:

From another concert, watch how Jon Bon Jovi works this New Jersey crowd into a frenzy:

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. What was the best part of the day for you? This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

    Best turkey ever (none / 0) (#1)
    by ruffian on Fri Nov 26, 2010 at 06:15:57 AM EST
    My friends used an infra-red roaster. The turkey was so tender and juicy I even loved the white meat after all.

    All around good day. They have kids of their own and their cousins in the 3-10 age range. That makes a holiday for me when I'm missing my own family.

    Music related I am still thoroughly enjoying Keith Richards' memoir Life. Song that changed his life: Heartbreak Hotel, heard on late night Luxembourg Radio. Event that made him a high school rebel: when his voice broke and he could no longer sing in the award-winning choir, they kept him back a grade because of all the math and science he had missed devoting himself to the choir.  In his words he embarked on a career of  terrorism until he got expelled. Disrespect and injustice breed terrorism at any level, he cautions.

    Probably supposed to love the music, the read the musicians book, but I'm going to be buying some old Rolling Stones music today. I find my playlists woefully deficient!

    with the Big 4 ruffian, a four record stretch of pure greatness...Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main St.  If ya don't have all 4 of those badboys that's the place to start....Stones' Mt. Rushmore.  

    I'm buggin' on the just released Hendrix version of "Tears of Rage" with my turkey hangover/morning java...the angelic voice is sometimes forgotten with all that extra-terrestrial guitar work.  Dude could enunciate his lyrics like nobody's business...while chewing gum!  What a freak.

    You've got it right on the Stones' best albums (none / 0) (#5)

    And, considering that Mick Taylor (best lead guitarist they ever had!) was so amazing on Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile, I find it sad that Keith finds it necessary to diss him as "doing nothing now" in his book. IMO, Mick Taylor doesn't need to do anything more to cement his role as one of the greatest guitarists in rock, evuh.

    Here's a joke for you folks (2.00 / 1) (#2)

    You've probably heard that Sarah Palin recently called the Bush family 'bluebloods'.

    Q:  Why is Sarah Palin engaging in class warfare?

    A:  Because so far she's winning.

    I don't know what compels you to low-ball my comments here, but I suggest that you tell me what problems you have with them openly rather than leaving me to guess at what bile and spleen I've brought out in you.

    The TSA shenanigans... (none / 0) (#4)

    reminds of this early Stones' original...."Connection".

    "Everything is going in the wrong direction..."

    "My bags they get a very close inspection,
    I wonder why it is that they suspect 'em,
    They're dying to add me to their collections,
    And I don't know if they'll let me go."

    Poignant. Cool harmonies.

    happy belated turkey day! (none / 0) (#7)

    Hope everyone had a great meal.

    I'm really thankful for my family, my friends and 2010 for being a good, happy, year.

    And of course the pats win, and the fact that Tom Brady has a beard and no longer looks like Justin Bieber.
