Topic: Boot: Exile's Afternoon Revisited Return to archive

nanky I have this CD -- first part is the Perth '73 show that i believe is the Happy B'day Nicky boot (since Mick sings it to him at the end) -- then there are a bunch of rehearsals for Dallas '72 including a great Ventilator Blues which I hope they play this year.

But the last song, which is not on the track listing, is this odd promotional type blues song about Exile on Mainstreet being such a strange street, and containing lyrics that include all the titles of the songs on Exile. Does anyone know about this song -- what was it used for?

Cardinal Ximinez Nank...I believe that's called "Exile On Main St. Blues". I have no idea what it was used for, most probably it was going to be used as backing music for radio ads.

JaggaRichards Exile On Main St. Blues was a promo flexi-disc that was inserted in copies of the NME in '72. It's been around for years.
