The house they are sitting in front of appeared on the cover of another famous album. Which one?

96 or 98 St. Mark's place. That is the question.

The "right" one. 96, I guess.

That car pulled up right before taking the pic. There is a fire hydrant right in front.

The 4th floor is cut out, but there are gargoyles on the roof, just like in the keystone above the arches to the front doors

For being 40-ish, those guys sure were skinny. Cocaine/heroin is a hell of a drug and all that?

I bought a pair of black leather Chuck Taylors at a store across the street and didn't even realize what I had seen until later.

It's the building on the right hand side of the street the Beatles are crossing on the cover of the White Album.

And this: is the inside of the bar CBGB's?

Got some stuff off Rum Runner's Cove that are out takes from Some Girls and Tatoo You.

11 minutes of MISS YOU and 9 minutes of WHEN THE WHIP COMES DOWN
ftw.

I met subby's mom there. That's kinda rock & roll, ain't it?

Also "Waiting on a Friend" was their John Lennon tribute song.

Anyone want to take a crack at listing the others?

 
scally1 2009-04-18 05:46:58 PM  
the guitar on waiting on a friend was laid down by mick taylor in the early 70's.

"All Those Years Ago" - George Harrison
"Empty Garden" - Elton John

my guess it is historically the gayest song they ever did in their rocking careers but I could be wrong

Someone's never heard "Cocksucker Blues"

Wow! Never knew Don Knots could sing like that

Is it the steps in front of Gordon and Maria's house on Sesame Street?

"All Those Years Ago" - George Harrison

I got those two, plus:
"Nobody Knows" - Billy Squier
"Here Today" - paul McCartney
"The Late, Great, Johnny Ace" - Paul Simon w/ Philip Glass
"Life is real" - Queen

These are the ones I know off the top of my head. I like the Elton/Bernie the best, at least for nailing the sentiment.

Huh? "Waiting on a Friend" was half a decade old by the time it was released, if I recall correctly.

/Song is awesome either way

More than that, actually. Waiting on a Friend was recorded during the Goat's Head Soup sessions (late '72 or early '73), and Tattoo You didn't get released until 1981. Almost a decade old.

Yup

Midnight Rambler should stick the almost always great ABB.

Best under-the-radar Stones song ever: SLAVE from Tat You.
Are there outtakes of that on the boot?
Glad to see people got the answer anyway...

I knew that Tops was once of the two GHS tracks on that album, but I couldn't remember if Waiting on a Friend was from GHS or Black and Blue. Looking it up confirms you're right.
