For me:

Jumpin' Jack Flash - Guns N' Roses (electric)
Jumpin' Jack Flash - Guns N' Roses (acoustic)
Sympathy for the Devil - Guns N' Roses

A must-hear. There are some alternate live versions up on YouTube, but the studio-sweetened one on "Eat It" is the keeper.

Thanks! And yes, the drummer is a true joy to play with. But we had no soundman. Just a mic plugged into a little PA, which is why the vocals are buried. This was just a gig down the street from my house...the kind you can crawl home from if need be...my favorite kind...and this was on St. Patrick's Day, the day after I'd been to a Pogues show, so I may very well have crawled home from this one...

Most of the guys in this video are guys I grew up worshipping the Stones with. We aren't a real band, we just play together every couple years. I like to say that when you squeeze us, Rolling Stones songs come out.
