Exile In May Street Part 2: The Rolling Stones 1972 Montreaux Rehearsals

Rock Turtleneck continues EXILE IN MAY STREET, our salute to the May 18 expanded reissue of the Stones' 1972 classic double with one of my favorite YouTube clips by the Stones or anyone else: Mick & the Boys' legendary Montreaux Tour Rehearsals from May, 1972.

This YouTube trilogy features run-throughs of the Exile classics "Tumb- ling Dice," "Shake Your Hips" and "Loving Cup," plus some good old blues jamming.

This is the Stones at their absolute peak, with the greatest four-album streak in history in their pocket and a young gunslinger playing lead. Sit back and marvel at their offhand awesomeness. Now that the band has stuck a crowbar in their archive vault door, why not open it a bit more and release a DVD of the complete rehearsal sessions?

While you're here, be sure to vote in The RT Poll in the upper right hand corner. Vote early and vote often! Cheers.
