: I gotta say that when they rehearsed I Got The Blues in SF many moons ago, I was hoping and praying that they'd play it in DC.
: Musta been great!
indeed it was. needless to say, i enjoyed it enough for both of us...!! i too was hoping when i saw they had rehearsed it at the fillmore. proof dreams can come true, if you're patient enough.
some more I GOT THE BLUES faxx i pulled off IORR:
For the record, "I Got The Blues" has been performed live just one time before, so far, at a special TV recording broadcast show at the Marquee Club, London, UK, on March 26, 1971, one month before the song was released on the album "Sticky Fingers" on April 23. They did rehearse it at the Fillmore and Kaiser, and also once at the pre-show soundcheck in Minneapolis earlier this year, plus a few takes at the soundcheck on the Hartford-1 show.
