Eagle Rock continues on with their From the Vault series of rare live video of The Rolling Stones with this brief but historic club set from London's famous Marquee Club in 1971. With only about 200 invited guests in attendance (said to include Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and other notables), this rare club show from the Sticky Fingers UK tour of 1971 featured a handful of songs from their then new album as well as some old favorites. Kicking off with a snarling version of "Live With Me", complete with fiery guitars from Mick Taylor & Keith Richards as well as a menacing vocal from Mick Jagger, the band then launch into the irresistible, rootsy "Dead Flowers" from their new album. It's a fine performance of an endearing classic. "I Got the Blues" also makes an appearance here, as does the hard rocking "Bitch" and "Let It Rock". Concert staple at the time "Midnight Rambler" once again provides the centerpiece of this show, allowing Jagger to tell the lurid tale amid plenty of bluesy licks, and the back end of the performance features stellar renditions of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction)" and "Brown Suger", the latter especially raucous on this particular evening.
As a bonus, a few different takes of "I Got the Blues" and "Bitch" are included, as well as a great piece of footage of "Brown Sugar" from the Top of the Pops TV show. The video presentation here is surprisingly strong considering the vintage, and the audio is equally impressive. The companion CD contains all the audio with the exception of the Top of the Pops piece, and it's all housed in a wonderful double digipack complete with photos and infos on the event & tour. Once again, Eagle Rock delivers on all fronts!
