@Bix

that's a very cool set by those youngsters

@tgraph52
I am not finding credits for The Stones LP. Does anyone know who plays piano on the 1st cut? @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @Charles_Hawtrey @t_heislen

@Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @t_heislen

I would guess Ian Stewart. He was their original pianist until he got demoted to roady by Andrew Loog Oldham because he didn't look right. He was a great piano player though. He still played on a lot of their albums and used to play from the side of the stage, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't play in any minor keys though. 😂 Oh, those have been around for years, most of 12 x 5 was done at Chess. I don't think all those tunes are from Chess either.

Thanks. I don't have my Stones history memorized.

@Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @t_heislen I don't either just that I've loved them since 1964, here's a great cover tune from 12 x 5 with a great Wyman bass line.

The greatest period of rock, when the English set the groundwork by taking black blues and shifting it.
Clapton is an arsehole, but I love Cream and Jack Bruce.

@Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @t_heislen @Mfieck Jack Bruce is one of my bass heroes, for me one of the top maybe three electric bassists ever. Love Cream, always have, along with just about anything he ever did, also Mountain, Leslie West and Corky Laing. I even lucked into a '65 EB3 like the one he played years ago.

Saw him live in a pub in Edinburgh during the festival in the mid 80s. Coincidentally I saw Clapton for the only time, during the same week, at the Playhouse. The difference was stark, especially on the songs they both played. Bruce was a great gig, Clapton one of the worst ever
