Hello people. Been quite a while since I
have written anything. No particular reason. I have seen a bunch of shows since
I moved downtown and have a more normal Monday through Friday schedule. July will make 2 years of being up here and a
few annual events I have attended twice now. This post is about the annual Jagg
Off :A Birthday Celebration for Mick Jagger. Last year had Seth Yacavone and
Dave Grippo tearing it up. But because Burlington has such an amazing music
scene, Joshua Panda and his buddies got the honor this year. Kempepedia is
proud to present Jagg Off. Live at Nectar’s July 12th, 2019.
I fucking love the
Rolling Stones. I have seen them twice, 1994 and 2005. I feel that their run of
Beggar’s Banquet through Exile on Main Street is the best 4 album run any band
has ever had. I once upon a time had over 10 live show from their 1972 tour. To
be honest, the sound quality on some of the audience recordings was horrible,
which is why they are gone now. I also dropped 30 bucks back in the late 90’s
to get a black and white VHS copy of the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus……which
they then released officially on DVD in color the next year. So I really like
the Stones.

Joshua Panda has
a vocal range that is out of this world. 2 guitarists for most of show. Sax
player who did a lot of the seasoning, shakers, maracas, the cowbell etc. Didn’t
know any of the other musicians but they were all amazing. Loved they did
Carol, a Chuck Berry tune the Stones covered early in their career but was a
staple of their live show for years after. They knew the most important thing when
covering Sympathy is ….don’t overdo the Woo’s. They had just the right amount.
They also had another guitarist join them for Sympathy and Sway.
If its a birthday party for Mick Jagger, you know there will be cake. This is a replica of the cover of Let It Bleed. They did give out pieces later.
They had a Mick
Jagger Dance Off at set break. I am old school when it comes to my Jagger moves.
During the 1969 tour, he took his belt off and whipped the stage during
Midnight Rambler. His early moves were great too.
Monkeyman, one of my favorite Stone songs,
killed it. I have seen Monkeyman performed by The Stones, Phish, and Devolver.
At Superball I recognized right away and flipped the fuck out. I was screaming,
jumping around, acting like a fool. My friend overheard 2 people talking:
Guy 1: What song is this?
Guy 2: I don’t know but it must be a big deal. That guy is going crazy
Guy 2: I don’t know but it must be a big deal. That guy is going crazy
The jam at the end of Knockin’ was super dialed in. All high
energy blasts, one after another. They didn’t do an encore which means I got to
leave a little bit earlier and get some shuteye because I had the highly
anticipated Cosmosis Jones reunion show at Nectar’s along with Dr. Fameous at
Nectar’s the following night.
