Steve's show was very Stonesy in theme. They played the "Let it Bleed" album over the PA before the show, his opening act Alison Moorer sported a figure hugging "Stones 72 tour" t-shirt which was enough to give me sufficient fantasies of depraved sexual acts to last me a month and towards the end of his own set, Steve quipped that there were "only two ways of curing the post-election blues - One - get the fuck out of the country, and two - play Rolling Stones covers" before playing a great version of "Sweet Virginia". He played 30 songs in a set lasting 140 minutes!
The tribute band show was great fun too. They didnt just do the obvious greatest hits stuff either (opening with "YGMR" and closing with "Dont stop", no less!).

sounds to me like you caught two fantastic performances by steve earle and the dukes - you lukcky man!

Two of the best concerts I've ever seen by anyone, in fact.
Barrowland Ballroom is a fantastic venue with a GREAT crowd. I've been at two shows there - both this year - by Dylan and Steve Earle, and both were jaw droppingly brilliant, partly because of the audience. When I met Steve last week he told me how much he was looking forward to playing that venue again - he obviously meant it as he said before the show started that it was the "best gig in the world".
oh, to see the Stones in a venue like that in 2006. |

i think steve earle is one of those acts, like the great american jazz acts in the '40s and '50s, that have a stronger european fanbase than they do in here @ home. i'll leave the politics to others, but it seems steve gets alot more respect over there, and he is probably selling out larger venues than he does here in the states, too... mark lanegan is another of my current faves who i know gets more love in europe than he does here...
btw - i love the signature  |

Steve Earle is a great man....plain and simple. Agree with him or not, that's obvious. With GWB it's obvious too, he'll never be "great" because he is who he is. Four more years will never change that.

to follow up on the dirty work sessions...
absolutely - deep love is sweet, and how invitation didnt make it on the album is quite curious - it is beautiful, like what you find on tattoo you's second side...
i am not nuts about winning ugly or strictly memphis. and back to zero - i can safely say i will neveer listen to that tune again (how did that make the final tracklist?)
dancing girls and what's the matter are fantastic - where are they from..? |

Invitation rules. It would sound pretty ridiculous on any album considering it's what, nine minutes long? It would have been the ultimate b-side ever to say, the 12" of Harlem Shuffle, though.
Can't believe you don't like Strictly Memphis -- one of my fave prev unrel Stones tunes ever -- classic dumb Stones American geography lesson (Goin' to Memphis/down to New Orleans? -- Only disassociated jet set rock stars think like that.) That song would have seriously souled up side one of Dirty Work. I still think they picked the right tunes for DW, though.

the bottom end is definitely present - not as much in the lower frequencies as i would like, but none of these (81 sbd) sources has that warm, fat botom end that i adore. but then again, i don't think the stones had their mix that way, so the issue is moot. as far as stones live gigs - you definitely hear bill through and through - and he, like the rest of the band, are very sharp. ronnie lays down some stuff that wows me like some of the '75 performances do...

Have about 4 outtake CDRs of Dirty Work...Dirty Workout, High Temperature Rehearsals, DW Demos, DW Outtakes, and Dirty Undercovers.
Don't really remember a lot of the titles - will have to look them up - though an excellent Keith ballad - "You're too much" appears about 2-4 times, and also an instrumental with minimal vocals "Fight" by Keith.
Think Woody wrote one song at these sessions "Knock Your Teeth Out (one by one)" and later used it for his 1992 album 'Slide on This |

Mac - "Invitation" is over fifteen minutes long. That in a nutshell is why it didnt appear on DW (also, plus the fact that good though it is, it sounds more like an improvised workout than a finished song). It was the pre-CD era and would have taken up one third of the length of a normal album. The DW outtakes are generally better than many of the released songs but it would have made no sense commercially to have released them as most of the best ones feature Keith on lead vocals and "Invitation" features as much of Womack and Don Covay as it does of Mick (plus "Strictly Memphis" is a Jagger/Womack duet too). They could have ended up releasing an album on which Mick Jagger sings lead on about a third or a half of it.
Similarly, most of the BTB leftovers are songs with Keith on lead vocal (although they havent circulated). Again, regardless of how good those songs may be, the fact that the released album had an unprecedented 3 out of 13 songs with him on lead vocal meant it commercial sense to leave them off.
It was a great thrill when the tape of those DW sessions circulated in early 1987. I got a 3rd gen recording of it way before it ever appeared (in shorter form) on bootleg LP and it was a great bargaining tool to use for trading for other rare stuff at the time!
My favourite of all of those outtakes is "Baby Youre Too Much". Theres a newer take of it thats circulated in the last couple of years which I've still never seen mentioned on a bootleg CD. Its the same take, as far as I can tell, but it sounds a bit more polished and has a lot of saxophone overdubbed onto it. Has anyone else heard this version? |
