Ah, Doxa. I simply love Keith´s rendition of Nearness Of You!
No overdubs on this one, that´s for sure.
I got the same feelings for Keiths version (a touchy piece)...

Yeah Ive read about Holly and of course heard the hits but I've never bothered to dig in. I blame the cult and the bios and the crash. That man really knew how to write a pop song with feeling.
And I thought I was the most critical here...

A bit same here. Since I started to dig the 50's 'rock&roll' stuff, my borderline was Chuck Berry, and I skipped almost all the white/"right" side of him, and just concentrated to the black/"left" side of him - which lead to the blues. But Buddy Holly's influence, for example, to young British kids, such as Lennon and MCCartney, and then Jagger and Richards, and especially the ones who started to write own material and perform, must have been a huge one. I guess a figure like Buddy Holly was easier to identify to, than, say, Berry or Elvis. Or, for god sake, Muddy Waters (if you weren't up to a career of painting ceilings...jokey jokey)

Yes, hearts that are broken and love that’s untrue
That’s what called learning the game
When you love her, but she doesn’t love you
That’s when you’re learning the game
When she thinks you’re the only one I’ll ever love
Then you find out she’s not the one you’re thinking of
Alone, all alone and blue
That’s when you’re learning the game

hmmm, I like most of keith´s solotracks very much (except infamy, which is boring) but this one is not my cup of tea, too much easy listening. little t+A, next song in austin is but a killer, much better than the sal-version.

Highlight of the show for me. When Keith announced a Buddy Holly song I didn't know what to think. Must admit I had never heard it before.
Some of the people I was with had never been to a Stones show before and probably didn't think it unusual, but they really went off script that night.

Thanks Redhotcarpet for the links.
Surprisingly nice cover. I liked the guitars very much (no time to reflect possible over-dubs by guitar technicians, though - this is from that box, right?). Keith also sang technically okay (I was afraid of something shapeless over-interpretataion a'la "Nearness of You" where one wonders where the hell the melody goes), although he has that 'drunken old uncle' karaoke voice I am not so fond of.
But it has a positive, merry feeling in it, and it rolls nicely. One of the best things I've heard from A BIGGER BANG tour actually.

I love Rodney Crowell's version, but couldn't find it on YouTube. I admired Keith for trying this in concert, but his voice is beyond ravaged. Learning the Game is one of those demos Buddy recorded the summer of '58 during that short, golden time he and his wife Maria got to enjoy their apartment in NYC. A simple, fatastic song.

Here's the "Real" version by Buddy Holly. This song was recorded by Buddy alone in his Apt just before he died. The version above was an overdubbed version that was put together after he died. These "Apartment Tapes" are amazing and should be sought out by any Rock & Roll/Buddy Holly fan.
I'm a HUGE Buddy Holly fan and was a little disppointed with Keith's version, but it was still fun.
