#2354 The Rolling Stones - Blue and Lonesome

Stones get back to basics, do some blues covers. It works out about as good as you could hope for: Jagger can shout just fine, the band lays down perfectly good laid-back swagger, and everyone keeps it 100% no-frills. Not a single unexpected thing happens. If you'd walked out of a bar after an anonymous bunch of old guys did this set you'd say "those guys were actually really good" with mild surprise, and for better or worse, nothing'd tip you off that they were once anything more 3/5
