    One of the first songs Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote was recorded by then girlfriend of Mick, Marianne Faithful, in 1964.

    Nearly 50 years later the Rolling Stones bring back a chestnut with Taylor Swift on their concert tour in Chicago. Enjoy

    On a vacation with friends in Paris, 2000, a cellist was playing As Tears Go By in the underground tunnels to the trains. Great acoustics and an unforgettable performance.

    I am really glad that live music isn't dead, now is not the Winter of our Discoteque, but that was not a perfect rendition there, Mick wasn't too bad, But Taylor Swift was off key most of the time.

    Listening again to the Marianne Faithful version I thought that was quite smooth, must be all those Mars Bars ! LOL

    Phizzy- I think Ms Swift's voice gets a lot of doctoring in the Studio. Marianne Faithful's version is great for its simple and moving young angst.

    I am late to the party but a good song is a Good Song. I prefer Marianne because she was the IT girl of my early years with Mick and Keith. Taylor has a gift of expersion that I cannot deny. Have you listened to her MEAN song. She captures words and has a story to tell.

    STONES Rule, Mick is The Man and Keith, ah, I would still spend the night with him.
