“That song to me just has that grrr init,” says Mike Campbell in the Tom Petty retrospective “An American Treasure” of the 1981 live version of “Kings Road”. You can hear what is meant: a band at the end of the first cycle of success, for the first time in a LA home game in front of a large crowd. But how much “Grrr” is in it when it’s even on the outside? With a band that is at home everywhere and nowhere and – fittingly – simply chose an arena in New Jersey to record the finale in December 2012 for their 50th anniversary. Presumably because Bruceda was able to stop by for an over-the-top tumbling dice.
How much “Grrr” is in it if it’s even on the outside?
At that time only Payper View, now in all formats from colorful vinyl to plain CD, from “Get Off Of My Cloud” to “Satisfaction” one of two then current inserts was only briefly disturbed 24-song-Bestof, which still other star guests rises. Lady Gaga gets to sing “Gimme Shelter” to the ground. Freddie King’s “Going Down” also shows that too much “Grrr” can be harmful. Every band without the influence of sedative drugs probably plays this kind of blues a bit too fast live, and when two guitar guests like Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer want to show each other where Barthel gets the must etc., the intensity naturally builds up . But it doesn’t reach the cooler rolling of the original (piano: Leon Russell).
Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love?” with the Black Keys, on the other hand, has just as much “Grrr” as it needs. And “Midnight Rambler” (with ex-Stone Mick Taylor) still finds its way to a suitably tight finale after it threatened to get lost along the way. The winner without guests greets a late rediscovered “Paint It Black”, the “Wild Horses” and “Dead Flowers” interpreted by Jagger without hints of parody, the “Brown Sugar” original sax solo (Bobby Keys!). And of course Keith Richards, the “Before They Make Me Run” and “Happy”, well, allowed to sing. And that too in one piece. Grrr!
