The Rolling Stones recently celebrated 50 years together with some shows in London and some coming up in New York. My mother was (still is) a HUGE Stones fan, as am I. As much as I admire their stamina I do wish they’d retired some time around 1990. My favorite era of the Stones, when they could do no wrong in my opinion, is from 1968-1973.

The song featured here “Sweet Virginia” comes from one of my favorite Stones albums (can’t pick just one) Exile on Main Street. Enjoy this live version from Ft. Worth, TX 1972. Doesn’t get much better than this.
