This Could be the Last Time…
But it wasn’t…On this day in rock history, in 1964, the Rolling Stones perform for the first time on CBS-TV’s The Ed Sullivan Show. It's a riotous debut. Following the appearance, Sullivan vows to never have the group on the show again. “It took me 17 years to build this show,” he says. “I’m not going to have it destroyed in a matter of weeks.” Of course, Sullivan relents. I don't think I've ever seen the Stones do this tune "live" - check out Jagger's 2 or 3 second harmonica solo near the end of the song. Thanks to http://www.rockintown.com/today-in-rock.html for the info, and keep on rockin’!

hUh. I'd pay to see those guys play for 90 minutes ... Oh wait, you & I did. And I thought of you Charlie Mac when I read about their Paris show this week ...
The Stone are back, for sure! Reading with interest about all of their 50th anniversary activities - The "Crossfire Hurricane" film looks really good...maybe if I go over "Jumpin'" a few more times I could get the guitar part right...
