Speaker 1 (00:13):
Now, good morning, Lisa Clary, you going very well.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Welcome Now this thank you sounds awesome.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
The Rolling Stones Review is a full blown rock and
roll spectacle, starting with the seminal Sticky Fingers album that's
going to be the first half of the show. Widely
considered one of the Stones's best albums, twenty six million
copies worldwide. I think anytime anything kicks off with the
opening notes of brown Sugar, you know you've got something
(00:42):
good ahead of you.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Well, yes, Sticky Fingers. The reason that I was lured
into this in the beginning was the Sticky Fingers is
my favorite, not only Stones albums, It might be my
favorite album of all time.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh my god, that is a big call. Tip that
is high praise.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Depending on my mood, of course.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Absolutely that's amazing, But.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Now it's it's fascinated me from from a child. It
was one of the earliest cultural references that I had
to be the seed a darker side of life, right
album that album is just dripping with sex and drugs
and roll. As a young child, I was, it was
(01:28):
very curious yea.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
And I mean the album cover just is amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Indeed, my brother had one of the original albums which
had an actual zipper, Oh my god, cool, and the
sleeve was yeah, he pulled it out and then it
was a man in underpants.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yes, yeah, yeah, because he's still.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Got the copy, which is not Mick Jagger, no.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
No, no, it's a stunt underpanties man stunt growing.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It was one of Andy Warhol design that record covers.
One of his is one of.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
His models, yes, which few in the factory there.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Absolutely. It takes always that question, mate, Do you have
a favorite child from the album?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Is there?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
And is it this? You've got a favorite song from
the album? Is it the best one to sing too?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
For? You know, my favorite song from the album is
Moonlight mile right, yep, And I do get to sing
it without a leader's look. It's more my favorite to
listen to than to sing. It tough to sing, really,
but things like there's also things like system Morphine, which
(02:40):
just just it's quite chilling, really authenticity. And then there's
but I did sing other tracks like Sway Yep, which
is the second song on the album, and another one
called I Got the Blues, which has an incredible keyboard solo. Yeah.
(03:03):
But the musicians that are playing the music is, oh.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's a red backing band.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's a band, and they're sort of almost like nerds. Yes, yeah,
rock and roll nerds just for the details. They get
all the details right, yeah, you know, you know, especially
the guitar players and the keyboard player. It's yeah, it's
it's the finest exact details that they get the music right.
(03:32):
It's very impressive.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So you will are you all for on stage at
the same time, It's not like it's not like the
three tenors. You're not coming out one one at a
time and doing a song the.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Very the very final finale. I think we all will
all come out together, okay, right, which will probably the
stones most famous song if you could probably guess what
that might have been.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Don't give it away, do you know what? You're not
my favorite rolling Stone song?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Handle myself.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You handle that one yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
My favorite rolling Stone song is Memory Motel, which Memory
Motel from Black and Blue. That is my absolute second
half of the show is other stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's a collection of highlights of the Stones from sixties
and seventies and a little bit of the eighties. And
now that we've got Steve Kilby on board, he's taking
it into some very interesting places. He's kind of handling
these more psychedelic sixties kind of stuff of the Stones. Okay,
(04:45):
I believe that's given too much. Ways, he's chosen to
do two Thousand Light Years from Home. Wow, that so yeah,
which is a full on psychedelic Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, it's more a piece to Brian's territory. Yeah, Brian
James Keith. You can't have Stones without Keith for a
human riff and having Jack Houst and your Bad Loves
and they played with the Whitlams as well, and meeting
the Bad Loves days. He is great because there's only
one key for Riches. It doesn't go over the top.
He is just Keith. It's all about the feel and
(05:18):
the melody, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
As I say, these guys get it, get the music
so right. It's not just an approximation now, as I said,
they're they're almost they're almost obsessively nerdish on the der's good,
which is great, but.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
They make the best actual musicians, don't they the ones
that are nerdy, not the ones with the sticky fingers.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
When you're putting on a tribute show to a particular album. Yes,
and people want to hear that album. Yeah, done correctly,
it's I mean vocally it's a bit of an interpretation
because none of us are Mick Jagon.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Music wise it's spot on. Yeah, you can't argue with
the details there.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I know what you made. I would never have thought
being a Steely Dan freak, I would going to see
a Steely Dan tribute act. But there was these brilliant
musicos in Perth to show Friends restaurant few years ago,
and their meticulous attention to detail was incredible. So really
in the years was really in the years, you know
what I'm saying, So help they're very nerdy.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I think you're going to if we're going to present
an honor a particular piece of work, then yeah, I
think you've really got to pay attention to those details,
which fans know.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yes, true and they want to year.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
So we referred to it as rolling into Perth. It
is you know, it's a review. How is it being
on the road with these this lot pretty good.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
The whole thing's been spread out, so it's hasn't been
like a grinding tour. Oh okay, it's been sort of separated,
but by three weeks weekend of gigs and then three
weeks doing other stuff, right, I mean the last thing
we did was the Munday Monday bash out in your
(07:07):
Broken Hill well and this enormous concert in the middle
of the desert, and that was amazing.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
I can imagine here. You're not going off there unreal.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
On another note, I was on a road trip the
other weekend Text and one of the things that got
me through the long, lonely road was listening to Text
and the Lady Boys. Again, it is so good on
a road trip. Is there going to be any.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
More of that?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
I always threatened it, threaten it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
There's so many songs, so many songs that you've yet
to tackle.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
I know.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, Look, if you could give me, give me a few,
you could come on board and produce the album.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Okay, all right, there's the office late boys.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
One of the.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
She'll be She'll be right, You'll be right, yes, down,
I should be thinking, she's Trevor Horn want producing.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We're going to karaoke bars.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Yeah, taking notes of fun examples. No serious.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
If no one's ever heard these, they should, they should
do themselves a favor, all right, Lisa.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
When I come to Perth, well, well we'll go out
karaoke planning the new Lady Boys album.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Okay, I reckon, you're all right?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Well, actually what is happening? Yes, for true, for real?
Yes is a new Cruel Sea album stip and a
new Beat and a new Beef album God featuring all
your favorite person editions.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, James Baker borisuitic wicked. So they're all both already
recorded and that will come out.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Is the best news ever.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
He's a trooper, always against the against the odds and
rest of times. James in.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Seventy now he's got chances.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Yeah, he's still he's still going, still doing it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I just wanted to say, Brock and Roll is good
for you.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yes, absolutely cool.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
In the meantime, while we await those are two new
albums September thirteen at the Asta Theater. Tickets are on
