Marty Stuart does such a friggin' awesome version of RDAD that he's the exception to the rule of just posting one version...this is sublime stuff again and if anything the end solo is even more like what Mike would do than the first awesome version posted already in this thread...can't get enough of this!
 

There is a soundboard recording of this show up on Dime. I've never seen/heard a Dirty Knobs soundboard before.  It's really good!

I found two ads for Mudcrutch gigs from page 18 of the Naples Daily News Fri 22 Sept. 1972 & page 18 Williamsport Sun Gazette (PA) Fri. 23 Apr. 1971.  Anybody know any more about these tours?

This weeks LP is Brian's Band, better known as the Rolling Stones. This is the early stuff when Brian started the band and was the leader.
 

Oh my my, oh hell yes. Killer extended version of MJLD here from MTV 1994 VMA show when it was actually a new song for the band, before Stan departed, and before MTV became all about '16 & Pregnant' and 'Jersey Shore' reality TV!

And (probably...open to correction) Steve's first live TV show performance with The Heartbreakers, 21st November 1994....You Wreck Me..
I loved Steve's free wheelin early drumming style personality with the Heartbreakers from around 94 -99....was more 'free' in style in those early years I think...he still has that in him but he plays the way Tom wants him to play in terms of not too much flash being the order of the day which has become more pronounced as time has gone on.
 

King Of The Hill TV performance that Stan plays drums on...one of my favorite songs...that Tom wrote with McGuinn...Would have been great if TP joined for this performance as well...I suppose it was too much to ask. I would have loved if Mudcrutch did this when McGuinn showed up in New York during the Mudcrutch tour this year.

If anyone is interested, I recorded the 3 songs they performed live in the studio at NPR "World Cafe", and I'm happy to share them out.  Send me a PM with your e-mail address and I'll send you a link to download the MP3 files from my dropbox. The 3 songs are:
Hope
Hungry No More
Save Your Water

I live in Hamburg and I have been at the concert in 1999. I came directly from a fishing vessel, where I had been working over the week before and went to the concert, so I was still sort of waving back and forth. I didn't have a ticket, but got one from someone on the street. Looking back I think it was the best concert I have ever attended. Watch "Gloria" from this show and you get a feeling for what I mean. If you listen carefully you can hear me shouting...
 
 

So I guess this must be a clip part of the 'rarer than rare' Cameron Crowe documentary video tape that was made in the early 80's...a couple of very interesting things here including how Bo Diddley inspired American Girl and that swedish version of I Need To Know that was posted by Szafira in the 'covers of Tom Petty songs' thread.
 

Okay, who remembers watching this? (I seem to remember that one of our former Farmers was actually there!)
In spite of the Rebelettes, it was still a fun show.
