Do you like Rock and Roll?

I mean really like it?

Do you like to just close your eyes and peal away the layers of a song and delve deep into a song like it was some kind onion that makes you weep tears of joy?

Me too.

That's why to me this is the pinnacle of all that is rock and roll. It's mount Olympus. Nothing ever came close before or since. These guys are still at it and while they have never equaled this greatness, they can still approach it. And at their age this is remarkable.

So I give you Midnight Rambler for the 1973 European Tour.

It starts off like the tough kid on his dirt bike just cruising by to say hello to all the cheerleaders on the bleachers. Then at 2:00 in he takes of into the fields to show off what he can do with this machine. Then he's back again at 3:12 to say "hey you like that?", then takes off again at 3:29 again.

This happens numerous times.

Mick Jagger's call and response with the "owww!!"'s with the crowd...

Right after you got the call and response of Keith Richards and Mick Taylor's guitars at 8:36...


Then the crazy ass finale at 11:56 that seems like it just might go off the rails but never does.

Christ what more do you want people???

Anyway.. It's Friday and I love you all....

Just crank it up as always and thank Ali...

All my best,

Ali Blah Blah.
