Mick joins Muddy Waters on stage
at Buddy Guy’s club, the Checkerboard Lounge. Keith,
Ian Stewart and Ronnie join in the fun as well
as Guy himself and his long-time partner Junior Wells.
The concert itself is very spirited and perhaps one of the best from this tour.
Spending several days in Chicago seems to have fired up the band.
The opening numbers are delivered at a frightening pace and it never lets up.
Bluesman Sugar Blue crashes the proceedings and reprises his harmonica in
“Miss You” to the delight of the band.
And this is one show where the horn section is really enjoyable,
especially in “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.
The third disc of this set contains the soundboard of
the often-released November 22nd Checkerboard Lounge
set with Muddy Waters. It’s a treat to hear the band jamming
with the blues legend.
The interplay between Muddy and Mick and Keith is pure magic!
The only problem here is that only about half of the set is included.
Why the entire set wasn’t included is a mystery
and the only negative against this title. This oversight a side
Sweet Home Chicago 1981 is definitely worth having."     Motown! motor city.
"The Stones play Pontiac. Iggy Pop and Santana provide
the excellent double support-bill i remember being in the end
zone balcony opposite the stage - and the delay between the
video screen and the sound. and the house lights coming on for
you can't always get what you want...and yeah, it was freezing that night!!!
and totally worth it the $15
the piano man Stewart was awesome in that gig.....
i was there Saw the in the Superdome
( Doobie Brothers, Van Halan)
BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS WOLFGANGS VAULT. ANNA BARSS AND I WERE 2 OF THOSE
THAT MICK THANKED FOR COMING DOWN FROM CANADA
AT THE END OF WHEN THE WHIP COMES DOWN
After a few newer tracks such as "Shattered"
Jagger pays homage
to the Detroit area audience:
"Ok, in the land of Motown, here we go," he says before taking
the group into The Temptations hit,
"Just My Imagination," an 11-minute version"
highlighted by a lengthy solo from saxophonist Ernie Watts.Jagger
then declares the band will do two rock 'n' roll oldies
that they had never recorded before -
"4th: The Stones hold a party on a riverboat on the Mississippi.
SUPERDOME NEW ORLEANS DEC 5 the day I missed the Stones
”Ahhhh I had tickets to this show then got busted the night before
in Houston for selling Mandrax. Didn't even want to sell it but
the undercover cop offered me $18 for one hit. That should
have been my first clue. Either way once he found out
I was going to jail anyway. Glad I don't do
drugs anymore.  I remember it had been
years since the Rolling Stones had toured the US,
and there was all kinds of talk
about how they were still going strong
although they were all around 37 or 38 years old at the time.
That's funny, because 26 years after these photos,
they're still the highest grossing (money wise)
rock band in the world.
If they were US citzens, they would qualify
for Social Security and Medicaid benefits."
Tales from another fan.
"STONES AT THE CAPITAIL CENTER WASHINTON D.C. DEC 7, 8, 9TH
Concert Comments "CAUGHT A COUPLE OF THESE SHOWS ON THIS TOUR BUT
I SAW THESE CATS IN THIS SAME BUILDING BACK IN '72 THOUGH IT IS NOT
FAIR TO COMPARE 1981 TO 1972.ON 9/25 81 WE CAUGHT
THE DEAD IN BETHLEHEM THE STONES THE NEXT DAY IN PHILLY
THEN DOWN TO THIS VERY BUILDING AND CAUGHT THE DEAD ON 9/27/81
MAN WE WERE SOOOOOOO BURNT..” “have a bootleg of this on vinyl
that sounds better. The show was great!”“this is god-awful. Hopefully
Mick was a bit sick because otherwise i can not understand how
he can sound so awful.
Beyond that, it is embarassing to listen to this after listening
to the Brussells 1973 show
. Ron Wood, while i love the Faces, is just not a good fit.
And Keith is a shadow of himself - i cant stand the way
he constantly mugs for the audience now.”
“Saw the Stones in Phila. JFK 2 SHOWS & all 3 shows here
at the Cap. Center in '81. The Stones rock D.C.
everytime they come here.The Stones rocked the Cap.Center that December.
I made it to work after
all 3 shows! Long LIVE the ROLLING FKN STONES"
