A snippet of Duke Ellington's "Take The A Train" opens the live Rolling Stones album Still Life before the band takes the stage to "Under My Thumb". It was one of my favorite albums as a kid and how this mix from six years ago opens.
The rest: Ol' Dirty Bastard's profane "Don't U Know", Liz Phair's explicit "Fuck And Run", the tender "Achin' To Be" by The Replacements, Rilo Kiley's poppy "Portions For Foxes", Stevie Wonder's blissful "Sweet Little Girl", James Brown protege Marva Whitney's rewrite of The Isley Brothers' hit "It's My Thing", an instrumental version of Dan The Automator's production on Dr. Octagon's "Bear Witness", Baby Huey & The Babysitters' live version of "Mighty Mighty", Bobby Womack's hopeful "Lookin' For A Love", a demo version of "I'm Looking Thru You" by The Beatles, Ray Charles' cover of "Eleanor Rigby" by The Beatles, Charlie Parker's dramatic take of the standard "Temptation", the mournful "It's Too Late" by Derek & The Dominoes, Pete Townshend's dramatic "Slit Skirts", a live version of "First Glimmer" b y Paul Westerberg, an alternate take of "Nothing Was Delivered" by Bob Dylan & The Band, an acoustic version of "Watching The Wheels" by John Lennon, the iconic "No Depression In Heaven" by The Carter Family, Willie Nelson's anthemic "On The Road Again", the sweet "The Rainbow Connection" by Kermit The Frog and the touching rehearsal take of "If I Had A Little Love" by The Majestic Arrows.
