I was trolling around on the Rolling Stones' site tonight, something I do periodically to check up on the revamped site's development, and lo and behold, there's a video of "Let It Bleed" from their October 2006 show at the Sun Bowl.
Any of you who went may recall that Dave Matthews, who opened the show, joined Mick, Keith, Charlie, Woody and their backup crew for a fun, if uneven performance of the 1969 ode to friendship and excess. It was right after the Stones performed a snippet of Marty Robbins' "El Paso."
Matthews sounded particularly hoarse. Maybe all that chest drumming he was doing wasn't nerves, maybe he was trying to loosen up some phlegm!
I went to that show. Flew in from Michigan with my son Keith just to see it (and pay my mom a surprise visit).
Here's a link: rollingstones.com/video/love-vainaint-too-proud-beg.
It'll take you to a different video, but it'll be to the right under "related videos."
