gig grab bag: slowhand & the stones

It only seems natural to pull this Friday’s Gig Grab Bag from the Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary shows that took place this week in London. The first show featured guest appearances by former Stones Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor, along with Jeff Beck and Mary J. Blige. At last night’s show, special guest Eric Clapton sat in on a delicious version of “Champagne & Reefer” that I just have to repost here. Clapton’s guest spot was probably in part a bit of well-timed publicity as he recently announced his own 2013 tour culminating in the fourth installment of his acclaimed Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Nothing like a little bit of champagne and reefer to really kick start your weekend… :)
