It’s fun to share a little background on the cover songs the band chooses to perform. “No Expectations” is from the Stones classic “Beggars Banquet” record.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - “No Expectations” - Lebanon Opera House, 05/25/07
Rolling Stones - “No Expectations”
The slide guitar from Brian Jones competes with Mick’s voice on this one - that tension between them is what makes this song so amazing.
Mick Jagger (1995): “That’s Brian (Jones) playing steel guitar. We were sitting around in a circle on the floor, singing and playing, recording with open mikes. That was the last time I remember Brian really being totally involved in something that was really worth doing. He was there with everyone else. It’s funny how you remember - but that was the last moment I remember him doing that, because he had just lost interest in everything.” (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
