I was afraid of the Stones when they came out,and Mom would call the parents of friends and tell them I wouldn't come over if they were played. I was 7 years old. The Beatles were a mania and I really believe they did everything to please my age group. Nice music for an innocent boy ,but not for a boy in adolescence and who was first inspired by James Brown. The brothers of friends weren't happy about me stopping them playing the Stones,but did their best to change my interests in music . The breaker was when a friend gave me an LP by the Stones. It was the Hex LP . I liked many of the songs other than ": Let's spend the night together" I was young and thought why do a song about staying up all night and eating popcorn and watching movies ❓ I was at about 14 when my mom opened the door of my room while I was playing "'Lets spent the night together" and said " I don't see ever want to ever hear that song when company is over" ❗ I said " Why "❓She said " It's a song about staying up all night and having sex with a girl " ❗ Thanks mom ,and now it immediately became my favorite song and most of my Beatles LPs moved to the bottom shelf .🤪😜❗
I was there , 3 rd row WOW . First concert, then I went to Central Park to see The Jefferson Airplane ,front row, went back stage and interviewed Grace Slick. Those were the days my friend, we thought they would never end.
Mick Taylor and Nicky Hopkins. Throw in Jones and you can define this group by who it left out! Still, they did have more staying power than any of us could have imagined.

They were Brian's blues band. He added an ethereal quality to them later that kept them up with the sound of the time. He was a brilliant musician that got sucked into the vortex of drugs fame, and darkness, with a questionable death. Mick Taylor made them rock your socks off. I read an interview in a guitar magazine recently where Keith Richards said " ...I miss his tone..," So do we. I love Ronnie Wood. He IS a Stone. But " Let it Bleed " through " Exile " was their zenith. There were some great tunes and hits afterward. But " Sticky Fingers " grabs your head by the ears, and makes you listen, and want to listen again. I still am.
Well said but respectfully I have to say there’s a huge amount of lack of respect for Mick and Keith’s work on Let it Bleed which is arguably the greatest Stones if not rock record of all time and no Jones or Taylor. Many people say Brian Jones was the Stones or that Mick Taylor was responsible for their peak period. (They may not have been given enough credit by Mick and Keith but you really have to question how much they deserved considering what Mick and Keith could deliver! Let It Bleed was during the transitional period without either Jones or Taylor which produced Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man, You can’t always get what you want, etc... all guitars were by Keith and Jagger did some of the greatest harp ever played on a rock record. Hats off to producer Jimmy Miller, pianist Nicky Hopkins and saxophone by Bobby Keys. Yet there’s no doubt the prior Beggars Banquet again Jagger/Richards were just starting to peak while Brian faded and Mick Taylor wasn’t yet there. Then of course Sticky Fingers is as good as it gets, while Exile was a great record they retreated creatively. Great songs but no 2000 light years, Sympathy for the devil, Jumping Jack Flash, Street Fighting Man, Monkey Man, Gimme Shelter. However the early 70’s were going retro with laid back country, blues, straight forward rock n roll.
I disagree with nothing you stated. Brian was sadly toast by late '68' and Jagger/Richards picked up the flag in ' 65 ' for songwriting ( which was where the money wss (( and still is )) and continue to carry it, even if they hobble around while doing so. We all have our favorites. Mine are Beggars-Exile era. My comment failed to clarify that it was Mick Taylor's tone that Keef missed. But Sticky Fingers was, and still is an incredible album. Brian helped keep them musically relevant through ' 69 ' with his musicianship on various instruments. Some people like to argue what was " their best album. " I just say " favorites ". Their best album may be their next one.
@@drvee1983 Exactly how any discussion about something subjective like music should go. Yet we both know the basic facts. I’d say that it is the opinion of most rock n roll especially Stones fans to say the Beggars through Exile period was the best and it was again mostly driven by Jagger/Richards through the transitional period which would have broken most bands if it wasn’t for the super team who had been leading all along. Jones has his place as does Taylor but it’s the best band mostly thanks to Mick and Keith. It wouldn’t have been the same class act without Charlie’s drumming style nor Bill. They were not only musically important but their down to earth personalities probably were a big help in keeping Mick and Keith grounded as well.
i love them all and every iteration of the band. RIP Charlie. The heart and soul of the band. Keef's other drummer from the Wino's is doing quite nicely but he lacks being Charlie. RIP Brian and thank you Mick Taylor.
There's a whole lot of stuff that marks the end of 60s. The biggest in music was the last Beatles album and them breaking up .world is still talking about it 50years later,I DON'T hear anything about stones at all in that context,yeah they marked the end of an Era by some getting killed at a concert.If you know history of music Tyey didn't hire stones for Woodstock because of Street fighting man being released, they didn't want a riot that did happen at that concert Atlanta I guess.someone was killed going to a rock concert..First stones record was Lennon McCartney written. They also learned to write through Lennon McCartney.,Jagger has said so himself.Jagger and Richard's are no Lennon And M cCartney.But then nobody is ,they are hands down the most successful musicians of all time,especially in song writing department.i think yesterday and Something are now out doing White Chrismas S, most recorded song
Hey people nobody has that raw rock and roll sound like the stones do. I ve seen them live many times. Man they are the ultimate high brothers and sisters.
Thank you for focusing on those two years. I was born too late to be part of that. The thing for me is they came out of that. With the most important rock‘n‘roll record ever. EXILE ON MAIN STREAT.
We loved the fact that the Stones sounded raw. We didn't want things to be too polished. We didn't have fancy foot pedals and distortion makers, we just cranked the amps and guitars up the best we could to get good tones. We loved the blues, too, at least where I was in Ohio. IMO, the best albums were, "Beggars Banquet," "Let It Bleed," and the one with "Brown Sugar" and "Gimme Shelter" on it. I saw them back in the day and they packed the entire "Rubber Bowl" in Akron, Ohio. Keith Richards says, "I never had a problem with drugs, I had a lot of problems with police." My personal all-time Stones song is, "Street Fighting Man," because at the time the record was released, we really were fighting and marching in the streets, so it became sort of the national anthem of the protesters.
John, you are speaking of the album’s produced by Jimmy Miller. He even played drums and percussion on some tracks. Mick Taylor played on releases Let it Bleed through It’s only R&R
When I was about 14, I was on a bus singing "Satisfaction" out loud, but not too loud. I remember catching a glimpse of this older guy looking at me. I wanna thank that guy for not yelling at me to "Shut The Fuck Up!!" I would have been crushed. 🙃
Brian Jones epitomizes that dark mysterious energy I associate with the late 60s which as a very small child just becoming conscious I felt and remember more than what was happening on the surface. The post-Jones Stones always seemed like a business, the beginning of that cold distant detached corporate mentality to rock that took hold in the 70s and despite punk pricking it's pretentious bubble reinforced itself in the 80s to the point where creativity was killed at birth in any act and anyone unfortunate enough to have it like Kurt Cobain was crushed in the corporate beast's machinery and spat out.
Maybe, with Mick Taylor, The Stones had a suberb fine guitarist. Ok. Maybe . Sticky Fingers, is - no doubt about it- a great record. Surely "Exile" is a great "american" album. Without hesitation, The Ron Wood Years, were/are, more or less, a good joke. But, clearly, The Jones Years, were magic. This magic, was lost without him.
In the beginning was Brian Jones, the genesis of the Rollingstones, who was a trained musician from his formative years, his parents - Lewis & Louisa Jones were musicians as well.. Louisa was a piano teacher, taught Brian to play at a very young age.. Brian, was plagued with asthma, his parents purchased a wind instrument, clarinette to aid with his lung capacity.. Then a little later on Brian received a guitar as a gift from his parents.. Hence Jones had an edge on his other bandmates.. Brian was preforming in little jazz bands predating the Stones.. Then in 1962 , Keith & Mick happened upon the Ealing Jazz club where Alexis Korner and blues Inc. were the in house band, Brian Jones was preforming dust my broom on slide guitar which was an amazing feat.. Brian Jones was sensational and Mick & Keith were mesmerized.. Jones wanted his own band of blues cats..
Brian did write, (Ruby Tuesday, etc..(many riffs were his but stolen/credited to Jagger/Richards...it was Brian who taught Keef the open G tuning that became trademark...easy for the public to believe all the fabrications spoon fed tot hem by a less than truthful Keef/Richards , easy to rob a dead man and rewrite the truth...but many of us know Brian was the magick and always will be.
+Jorge simoes Nuno WRONG! Many songwriters (Brian Jones, Mick Taylor and Billy Preston beetween them) wrote songs for the Rolling stones, in exchange for a very pretty big payment they don´t figure in the credits. Just take a look how many albums the Rolling stones did with Brian and how many they did in the same amount of years after Brian´s death. They did so many albums with Brian because he wrote the songs for them. When Mick did things alone he made pure shit!
There is the music for a movie, written by Brian Jones, he also recorded some songs with Jimi Hendrix (until today this records are lost). But ok, I´ll stop here. Don´t make my life depend on it.
I see "Between the Buttons" as a transitional album. It was very striking when it came out, and it was clear that they were moving in another direction (along with many other bands at the time).
the British Version is a Phenomenal Album, ït is very transitional and give s us a glimmer of how Mick and Keefe could hold up a tune, Connection is my Ãll time favorite Stones song, jùs såyîn ¡😎🥚😎¡
Fools that gave Thumbs down are extremely ignorant. Don't focus on the visual glitch yet the beauty of the heart of just touches of stories of clips of the Rolling Stones. RIP Charlie and Brain. Thankful Rolling Stones keep pushing on... Rock N'Roll, Rhythm Blues and often a touch of jazz too.

Funny that at 55:40 Keith gives that heroine addict evasive, empty eyed look when he says that there is that person who everyone just knows is not going to live a long life. Everyone has been thinking that for the past 50 years about Keith, but he's still here. Keith is amazing.

Lots of opinions from old men who lived vicariously through these great bands and most of us probably disagree with a lot being said but we can agree The Stones were number 2 in impact and influence behind The Beatles in the 60s.
I don’t know... they’re definitely up there, but I’ve always thought The Velvet Underground was the 2nd most influential group of the 60s. It’s close, maybe too close to call. Plus, you can’t really quantify something like that, being honest. They’re all way up there, but I definitely agree the Beatles were #1, definitely THE most influential.
@@nikolademitri731 Velvet Underground helped by Warhol were the 3rd branch to the rock tree. From the US east coast there we got The Stooges and Iggy Pop,Lou Reed ,the reinvented Bowie and the glam movement all the way to the shoe gazers.
Brian was great no doubt. Mick Taylor was incredible and gave them their greatest rock n roll band in the world belt. After Taylor they became a greatest hits review. nuff said.
Not even close. Vibe worse tracks on the Taylor years albums are significantly better than the songs you mention. Beggars is the best of non mick but it's a much more simplistic style with less need for Taylor like riffs but you still have some terrific jones slide guitar parts that he put together when he was semi aware and capable.
It's one of many. Personally I rate "I Wanna Be Your Dog" considerably higher than Flash, and, frankly, the older I get the more laughable Mick's cod-American accent becomes.
@@rj-ps8hy Agree. Cameramen fixated only on Jagger. Very little live footage of other band members. Ladies & Gentlemen... (Film of the Exile tour) was even worse 🤬

You'd think comparing the Beatles and stones nonsense would have ceased by this era...they are both great innovative bands. But as even Mick Jagger has said " we were never in their league on any level"
What Jagger said was how great the Beatles were in the studio making records , music with genius George Martin, the rolling stones they had a lot trouble with the law and bad critics, by rolling stones were a very different band than the Beatles, raw blues rock, the rolling stones were great in concert ,with mick ,dancing and jumping around by 1968 they were better than the Beatles live touring band ,I dont think the Beatles would've kept up with rolling stones and there stage present.
It's probably well known by now that, early on in the Stones' career, Brian considered replacing Mick with Paul Pond, who adopted Brian's surname and became Manfred Mann's lead singer as Paul Jones. Although technically a better singer, he didn't have Mick's charisma and wouldn't have written the songs Mick and Keith wrote. Still, the Stones definitely lost something when they lost Brian. Consider, for instance, Brian's moody, atmospheric arrangement of "Play With Fire," the tape of which he handed Chrissie Shrimpton for submission when she'd been told by Mick and Keith to submit the more typically rock 'n' roll version "Mess With FIre." Rest in peace, Brian.
In over 40 years as a Stones fan, I’ve never heard that Brian handed Play with Fire to Jagger’s girlfriend Chrissie Shrimpton to submit it AND that they had called it “Mess with Fire”? Who says that?! The cliche phrase has always been “Don’t play with Fire” long before the Stones were born. What a load of nonsense. Where did you pull that from? Keith had dabbled with Spanish and Baroque classical style finger picking long before he met Brian Jones. I’m not anti-Brian Jone but you Jones fans come up with a lot of shite. Give him credit for what he did do and get over trying to give him all the credit which he doesn’t deserve. Sure he may have been treated somewhat unfairly but he dished it out too.
The atmosphere of the arrangement had more to do with the production by Phil Spector and Jack Nitzsche than anything to do with Brian Jones since Brian isn't even on the recording. Here is the documentation of the recording session at RCA in Hollywood. "The song was recorded late one night in January 1965 while the Stones were in Los Angeles recording with Phil Spector at the RCA Studios. Richards performed the song's acoustic guitar opening while Jagger handled vocals and tambourine (enhanced using an echo chamber). Spector played bass, and Jack Nitzsche provided the song's distinctive harpsichord arrangement and tamtams."
Greg Gomberg Thank you for the refresher, I do remember reading that at some point. Either way without diminishing Brian’s actual contributions he didn’t do as much as much as so many falsely claim. What’s so strange about it is that the song doesn’t sound like it could have been recorded in Hollywood, not even in January. It’s such a drizzly English rainy day sounding song.
2,000 Light Years From Home beats anything on Sgt. Pepper for me by a mile, it's stood the test of time and was one of the first futuristic records, Brian Jones creativity at its' genius best. If Jones had sorted himself out and lived, he didn't need the Stones, in a sense he'd outgrown them and I think he would have done interesting relevant stuff in the 1970s probably in collaboration with others and been a thorn in Jagger/Richards side.
I became a Stones fan with Jumping Jack Flash and Beggar' s Banquet. Their popsong era never left a big impression on me. From 68 to 73 they were on their top level. Songs for centuries.
I love you guys - The Beatles, The Stones - there's no basis for comparison and is just something that someone started, probably Andrew Loog Oldham, to generate ink and album sales. The Stones are a blues-based rock and roll band that grew out of the London blues scene led by guys like Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner. The Stones are deeply steeped in the blues and in a country-western blues tradition (read Nankering With The Stones by James Phelge) - The Beatles are a Liverpool rock and roll covers-band with country-western, blues, rock n' roll, movie and show tunes, English music hall, and English folk influences - which included the collaborative talents of all four members, especially the internal songwriting axis of Lennon and McCartney. The Beatles always wrote a fair share of their own recorded material and, with the soundtrack of A Hard Day's Night (UK version), were one of the first, if not the first, British bands to release an album consisting entirely of their own written material. Loog had to lock Jagger and Richards in a kitchen to get them to start writing their own material and it took them a while to come up with something suitable for The Stones to record - - though some of their early efforts -- That Girl Belongs To Yesterday, It Should Be You - - were recorded by other artists. The Beatles career really started in '59 when George Harrison joined McCartney and Lennon. While The Stones really gelled in the winter of 1963, by which time the Beatles were well on their way to international prominence. The one area where they do share commonalities is the three-way tension of of their frontline - Jagger, Richards, Jones - McCartney, Harrison, Lennon and their "drummer" issues - Ringo joined The Beatles just before their first official recording date - which resulted in the single "Love Me Do". Charlie was in a few other bands besides the Stones before committing to his rhythmic role in The Stones. If we are going to be making these silly comparisons at least some basis in reality would help. The Beatles are in the same musical boat as Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Searchers, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas - - other Liverpool bands. The Stones, in contrast, are part of a London legacy of blues and rock and roll that put the boot in the "trad-jazz" scene of the London nightlife at the time and includes Korner, Davies, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Who for a start. The Beatles from the beginning of their official recording career to the end (with a few bumps toward the end of the road) kept the same core musical personnel and producer. The Stones, not so much - with various producers and band members coming and going. The only real point of comparison between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones is their vast success outside of England - - and there are those who question whether Liverpool is really part of England. Love all the people.
Elegantly put, Mabusha Masekela. The only thing I would add is that The Beatles are, truly, a pop band. The Stones were never really out to make friends and considered the 'pop' bit of it as a lark.
Wow a lot of really old men who’s talking about how much better Stones were when they were young!! I think it’s hard to listen to them before 68 cause they could hardly play!
After Brian. The band lost it's shine & that off key sensitivity which was their trade mark. Not taking away anything from Mick Taylor, the band took on a hard raunchy biker image for the longest time. No comment regarding Ronnie Wood, except he brought them back to their original roots for a spell. Still it was Brian who was the special one who tagged the band.
Scott Pepper As long as Jagger is alive they've not lost their shine. Not the best singer, not the best dancer but the greatest frontman of any rock band.
Scott Pepper I'm a huge Brian Jones fan & totally agree with you. Have you checked the music he made in Morroco? Awesome stuff. His innovation is sorely missed by the stones. He played so many instruments it's no joke. He was a true multi-instrumentalist
+dimethaltryptamine1 A "deathbed confession" to murder or any confession to murder in the US at least is not taken as guilt. A trial will still be held and evidence must exist other than just a confession. Unless you were joking about the gardener then Jones' death would stand as before which I believe was ruled "death by misadventure". Murder would only be a layman's opinion and have no weight at all outside of gossip magazine readership. One's death in a bed seems to have a commonality that is uncommon, that is the imagery of it anyway. Reality has another surprise for those who have never witnessed death.
Satanic Majesties is a vastly underrated album. Yeah, I could do without all the free-form jamming that takes up too much space; but this alum also had "Citadel," "2000 Light Years From Home," and many more that were absolutely perfect. "Performance" was a fantastic film, I never tire of seeing it again. It (and the song "Memo From Turner") were the best things Jagger ever did, IMHO. When he first saw the script, he's reportedly said to Anita "I can't do this, it's not me," to which she replied: "Of course it isn't, it's Brian." "Rock n Roll Circus" also had Jethro Tull -- who also wiped out the Stones. And it's not that the Stones' performance was bad, it wasn't; but there were others there that were just ... more impressive, and that's precisely why Jagger sat on it. Brian was murdered, as we all know. Don't believe a word Keylock says; he was persoally involved. See "Case Closed: The Murder of Brian Jones," a transcript of a psychic communication. If you sneer at such things, well then of course, don't bother. Otherwise, check it out.
Tbh I hated the Jethro Tull performance it just made sick. The Who appearance though was great and actually more impressive. Where can I watch the movie "Performance" safely? Also can you send me a link about the Jone's murder documentary
musically, I always liked best the stones period between let it bleed and exile on main street. the addition of bobby keys on sax and nicky Hopkins on piano really added flavor to the stones" sound. after this period stones kinda went downhill which can be said of any band that's been around as long as them. but that period was, I think, their best!
7:42 - the Stones were actually writing clever songs about English society like Play With Fire in '65 before the Kinks started doing it with Well-Respected Man, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, etc.
Rolling Ormond Yeah I was thinking the same thing. There's a shit load of great mid 60's Stones English pop songs starting with The Last time, Satisfaction isn't blues at all. Mother's little helper, Play with fire, paint it Black, Have you seen your mother baby, 19th nervous breakdown, Get off my cloud, ruby Tuesday, lady jane and those are just the hits during those "phase 2 years".
***** Of course everyone has to disregard this era and scream "Mick Taylor the best years' over and over, but the mid-sixties had some very sharp, durable songs, better than the Taylor years to be honest, no matter how complex the guitar solos.
Rolling Ormond I'm a fan of all the eras really, (yes even Emotional Rescue, fun album, Tatoo You and Undercover as well. As a kid looking at the pictures in the books as well as listening to the change in their sound, it always amazed me how quickly and radically those times changed for everyone by the end of the 60's and as great as they were from the start by the end of that era they really did break in to a whole another sound starting with Jumping jack Flash. What set them apart from great bands like Cream and later Zeppelin was their groove, it was heavy but always something to move to, of course they had to keep Mick shaking and a moving.
In my opinion not enough people 'GET' the Stones. They are the greatest authentic interpretation of the American Blues Rock sound. There's nothing nice about the blues, or Rock n Roll it's a vibe and an energy, that doesn't go into the studio to please people. To get on the radio. That isn't them. Like Dylan, and many of the greats, they do what their souls tell them too. If it sells it sells. They aren't here to win friends. They are here to do what they do. They took the American sound, and mixed it up with a classic education, a diet of good books, and also class A and sour mash bourbon. This really happened, in '68 with Beggars Banquet... Before that, they were chasing the Beatles... and The Kinks with Between The Buttons.
Brian Wilson famously called Between the Buttons his favorite Stones album, w/My Obsession being his favorite Stones tune. Yeah, man! He even popped in for one of the sessions! (Shoulda produced the thing! Hehe! He's only the greatest rock n roll producer of all time!)
I don't know why I had a problem with the screen blacking out, then it was OK, then parts were blacked out again. Right now it won't show me the credits at the end, but I did see before. ??
Would have liked to hear a version with Jones as a major player.It's similar to Keith Levene getting bumped out of the early Clash, or losing Barrett in Pink Floyd; they were the ones with the groundbreaking ideas.To my mind, the loss of Barrett was deadly to PF, though I'm well aware many would argue that.
Brussel Affairs 1973 Best live ever - Besides "Get your yaya's out" and there's one of the earliest bootleg recording from Perth in 1965 Australia -the greatness in the documentary of the super speed in the concerts from those days- It sounded more like "hit and run" performance a shock wave effect.
+peter mills Thanks. Hey you ought to watch (if you haven't already) the Ginger Baker documentary , "Beware of Mr. Baker." It's from 2012 and I gave it a ten star rating on IMDB.
Loved this movie.... and it made it clear. You can argue all you want, and wonder what they said to Jimi...or who made the band, critique, others, compain about the video quality.the hypocrisy, but remember, "after all it was you and me". Brian, Jimi, Janis are not victims of rock, or fame, or the drug culture. It is beyond me to speculate the reasons for their early demise, or attribute it to any social or psychological cause.

The Beatles were a mania and I really believe they did everything to please my age group. Nice music for an innocent boy ,but not for a boy in adolescence and who was first inspired by James Brown. The brothers of friends weren't happy about me stopping them playing the Stones,but did their best to change my interests in music . The breaker was when a friend gave me an LP by the Stones. It was the Hex LP . I liked many of the songs other than ": Let's spend the night together" I was young and thought why do a song about staying up all night and eating popcorn and watching movies ❓ I was at about 14 when my mom opened the door of my room while I was playing "'Lets spent the night together" and said " I don't see ever want to ever hear that song when company is over" ❗ I said " Why "❓She said " It's a song about staying up all night and having sex with a girl " ❗ Thanks mom ,and now it immediately became my favorite song and most of my Beatles LPs moved to the bottom shelf .🤪😜❗
Very interesting. How to make a child like something.
🤣🤣
I was there , 3 rd row WOW . First concert, then I went to Central Park to see The Jefferson Airplane ,front row, went back stage and interviewed Grace Slick. Those were the days my friend, we thought they would never end.
Back when the Stones were cool and sounded it. I liked Mick Taylor but it’s the songs from Brian’s time that I’ll always remember most fondly.
I agree
Absolutely!
Me too, jus sàyin ¡😎¡
Mick Taylor and Nicky Hopkins.
Throw in Jones and you can define this group by who it left out! Still, they did have more staying power than any of us could have imagined.
With Brian it was musicality & creativity
With Taylor it was power & finesse
With Woods it was money &
more money ...lol.
Had this vid in my library for years .Brought out this A.M. to watch the guys I grew up with and fortunately still breathing the same air with. They’ll always be an ONLY. Rocky
Gimmie shelter gives me goosebumps every time I hear it
I've been studying and reading about and listening to the Stones since the late 70's. They're my favorite band. This documentary is pretty damned good. Stop critiquing, and just listen for a minute. The film teaches us a great deal, and has good insights. Thanks for sharing it! We!want!the Stones!
agree, what the f did these idiots ever write or record lol

Surprisingly, my 92 year old grandmother loved Rolling Scones……..
God bless Merry Clayton. She is so amazing.
Right-did you see “20 Feet From Stardom?” Merry is featured quite prominently-and well she should be.
They were Brian's blues band. He added an ethereal quality to them later that kept them up with the sound of the time.
He was a brilliant musician that got sucked into the vortex of drugs fame, and darkness, with a questionable death.
Mick Taylor made them rock your socks off.
I read an interview in a guitar magazine recently where Keith Richards said " ...I miss his tone..,"
So do we.
I love Ronnie Wood. He IS a Stone.
But " Let it Bleed " through " Exile " was their zenith. There were some great tunes and hits afterward. But
" Sticky Fingers " grabs your head by the ears, and makes you listen, and want to listen again.
I still am.
Well said but respectfully I have to say there’s a huge amount of lack of respect for Mick and Keith’s work on Let it Bleed which is arguably the greatest Stones if not rock record of all time and no Jones or Taylor. Many people say Brian Jones was the Stones or that Mick Taylor was responsible for their peak period. (They may not have been given enough credit by Mick and Keith but you really have to question how much they deserved considering what Mick and Keith could deliver! Let It Bleed was during the transitional period without either Jones or Taylor which produced Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man, You can’t always get what you want, etc... all guitars were by Keith and Jagger did some of the greatest harp ever played on a rock record. Hats off to producer Jimmy Miller, pianist Nicky Hopkins and saxophone by Bobby Keys. Yet there’s no doubt the prior Beggars Banquet again Jagger/Richards were just starting to peak while Brian faded and Mick Taylor wasn’t yet there. Then of course Sticky Fingers is as good as it gets, while Exile was a great record they retreated creatively. Great songs but no 2000 light years, Sympathy for the devil, Jumping Jack Flash, Street Fighting Man, Monkey Man, Gimme Shelter. However the early 70’s were going retro with laid back country, blues, straight forward rock n roll.
I disagree with nothing you stated.
Brian was sadly toast by late '68' and Jagger/Richards picked up the flag in ' 65 ' for songwriting ( which was where the money wss (( and still is )) and continue to carry it, even if they hobble around while doing so.
We all have our favorites.
Mine are Beggars-Exile era.
My comment failed to clarify that it was Mick Taylor's tone that Keef missed.
But Sticky Fingers was, and still is an incredible album. Brian helped keep them musically relevant through ' 69 ' with his musicianship on various instruments.
Some people like to argue what was " their best album. " I just say " favorites ".
Their best album may be their next one.
Agreed. No problem.
@@drvee1983 Exactly how any discussion about something subjective like music should go. Yet we both know the basic facts. I’d say that it is the opinion of most rock n roll especially Stones fans to say the Beggars through Exile period was the best and it was again mostly driven by Jagger/Richards through the transitional period which would have broken most bands if it wasn’t for the super team who had been leading all along. Jones has his place as does Taylor but it’s the best band mostly thanks to Mick and Keith. It wouldn’t have been the same class act without Charlie’s drumming style nor Bill. They were not only musically important but their down to earth personalities probably were a big help in keeping Mick and Keith grounded as well.
@Jimmy Hardhat That’s what I’m saying.
i love them all and every iteration of the band. RIP Charlie. The heart and soul of the band. Keef's other drummer from the Wino's is doing quite nicely but he lacks being Charlie. RIP Brian and thank you Mick Taylor.
Very well said
Um, jumping from Satisfaction to Ruby Tuesday leaves out a huge swathe of brilliant Jones-era Stones singles.
Gimme shelter marks the end of the 60s. Add that haunting bass and micks harp... just wow
My favorite song by The Rolling Stones.
There's a whole lot of stuff that marks the end of 60s. The biggest in music was the last Beatles album and them breaking up .world is still talking about it 50years later,I DON'T hear anything about stones at all in that context,yeah they marked the end of an Era by some getting killed at a concert.If you know history of music Tyey didn't hire stones for Woodstock because of Street fighting man being released, they didn't want a riot that did happen at that concert Atlanta I guess.someone was killed going to a rock concert..First stones record was Lennon McCartney written. They also learned to write through Lennon McCartney.,Jagger has said so himself.Jagger and Richard's are no Lennon And M
cCartney.But then nobody is ,they are hands down the most successful musicians of all time,especially in song writing department.i think yesterday and Something are now out doing White Chrismas S, most recorded song
Sympathy for the devil marks end of sweet 60's
That is your opinion... Both bands are Iconic and remembered that way!
Hey people nobody has that raw rock and roll sound like the stones do. I ve seen them live many times. Man they are the ultimate high brothers and sisters.
Thank you for focusing on those two years. I was born too late to be part of that. The thing for me is they came out of that. With the most important rock‘n‘roll record ever. EXILE ON MAIN STREAT.
We loved the fact that the Stones sounded raw. We didn't want things to be too polished. We didn't have fancy foot pedals and distortion makers, we just cranked the amps and guitars up the best we could to get good tones. We loved the blues, too, at least where I was in Ohio. IMO, the best albums were, "Beggars Banquet," "Let It Bleed," and the one with "Brown Sugar" and "Gimme Shelter" on it. I saw them back in the day and they packed the entire "Rubber Bowl" in Akron, Ohio. Keith Richards says, "I never had a problem with drugs, I had a lot of problems with police." My personal all-time Stones song is, "Street Fighting Man," because at the time the record was released, we really were fighting and marching in the streets, so it became sort of the national anthem of the protesters.
Brown Sugar and Gimme Shelter are on different albums.
John, you are speaking of the album’s produced by Jimmy Miller. He even played drums and percussion on some tracks. Mick Taylor played on releases Let it Bleed through It’s only R&R
You mean Fingers Bleed? Or was it Let It Sticky?
GIMMIE SHELTER IS A MASTERPIECE!
Aretha Franklin didn't put her voice on shit recordings.
@@williamblair9597 Merry Clayton did though.....
from beggars banquet
maybe their best album
they were competting then with led zepplin
The best music of The Rolling Stones is when they played/ wrote music true to their early influences
When I was about 14, I was on a bus singing "Satisfaction" out loud, but not too loud. I remember catching a glimpse of this older guy looking at me. I wanna thank that guy for not yelling at me to "Shut The Fuck Up!!" I would have been crushed. 🙃
Brian Jones epitomizes that dark mysterious energy I associate with the late 60s which as a very small child just becoming conscious I felt and remember more than what was happening on the surface. The post-Jones Stones always seemed like a business, the beginning of that cold distant detached corporate mentality to rock that took hold in the 70s and despite punk pricking it's pretentious bubble reinforced itself in the 80s to the point where creativity was killed at birth in any act and anyone unfortunate enough to have it like Kurt Cobain was crushed in the corporate beast's machinery and spat out.
You put that very well. Agree.
Maybe, with Mick Taylor, The Stones had a suberb fine guitarist. Ok. Maybe . Sticky Fingers, is - no doubt about it- a great record. Surely "Exile" is a great "american" album. Without hesitation, The Ron Wood Years, were/are, more or less, a good joke. But, clearly, The Jones Years, were magic. This magic, was lost without him.
Poor baby. You gonna be ok?
@@fernandopaucebey6525 agree
Brian was the heart and soul and everything creative. Once he was gone, the stones never innovated, never were brilliant again.
It a critical account of the stones history thru the 60's. I love this documentary.
In the beginning was Brian Jones, the genesis of the Rollingstones, who was a trained musician from his formative years, his parents - Lewis & Louisa Jones were musicians as well.. Louisa was a piano teacher, taught Brian to play at a very young age.. Brian, was plagued with asthma, his parents purchased a wind instrument, clarinette to aid with his lung capacity.. Then a little later on Brian received a guitar as a gift from his parents.. Hence Jones had an edge on his other bandmates.. Brian was preforming in little jazz bands predating the Stones.. Then in 1962 , Keith & Mick happened upon the Ealing Jazz club where Alexis Korner and blues Inc. were the in house band, Brian Jones was preforming dust my broom on slide guitar which was an amazing feat.. Brian Jones was sensational and Mick & Keith were mesmerized.. Jones wanted his own band of blues cats..
no matter how great musician Brian can be, the reality is the soul of the Stones is their songwriters, Jagger & Richards , and this is what counts.
Brian did write, (Ruby Tuesday, etc..(many riffs were his but stolen/credited to Jagger/Richards...it was Brian who taught Keef the open G tuning that became trademark...easy for the public to believe all the fabrications spoon fed tot hem by a less than truthful Keef/Richards , easy to rob a dead man and rewrite the truth...but many of us know Brian was the magick and always will be.
and that's magick with a K ;-)
+Jorge simoes Nuno WRONG! Many songwriters (Brian Jones, Mick Taylor and Billy Preston beetween them) wrote songs for the Rolling stones, in exchange for a very pretty big payment they don´t figure in the credits. Just take a look how many albums the Rolling stones did with Brian and how many they did in the same amount of years after Brian´s death. They did so many albums with Brian because he wrote the songs for them. When Mick did things alone he made pure shit!
There is the music for a movie, written by Brian Jones, he also recorded some songs with Jimi Hendrix (until today this records are lost). But ok, I´ll stop here. Don´t make my life depend on it.
THE STONES SAVED MY LIFE IN SO MANY WAYS, THANK U GUYS.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤😂❤😂
once said, always true ... LONG LIVE TO THE STONES
I see "Between the Buttons" as a transitional album. It was very striking when it came out, and it was clear that they were moving in another direction (along with many other bands at the time).
Such an interesting listen.
The production lacks a bit, but the material and approach are very good.
Def prefer the English version.
the British Version is a Phenomenal Album, ït is very transitional and give s us a glimmer of how Mick and Keefe could hold up a tune, Connection is my Ãll time favorite Stones song, jùs såyîn ¡😎🥚😎¡
RIP Brian Jones !
my very favourite
Sadly RIP Charlie Watts now too. The 60s were so great except for the Viet Nam war.
Fools that gave Thumbs down are extremely ignorant. Don't focus on the visual glitch yet the beauty of the heart of just touches of stories of clips of the Rolling Stones.
RIP Charlie and Brain. Thankful Rolling Stones keep pushing on... Rock N'Roll, Rhythm Blues and often a touch of jazz too.
Stewart and Jones, FOREVER

Amazing how Rolling Stone Magazine just loves the Stones. They weren't too happy with many of their albums if you go back and read the reviews.
Rolling Stone writers radiate a extreme leftist snobbishness when in reality they are establishment sell-outs.

Funny that at 55:40 Keith gives that heroine addict evasive, empty eyed look when he says that there is that person who everyone just knows is not going to live a long life. Everyone has been thinking that for the past 50 years about Keith, but he's still here. Keith is amazing.
he is a horrible backstabbing person

@@lyricberlin I doubt he is now anyway. No reason for it. Also no idea what you're talking about but I'm sure it was over a decade ago, and the human body sheds it's skin completely every 7 years (not to mention the blood transfusions)
Interviewees should start their own band and then have the Stones analyze their performance.
It was a very sad day when they found Brian that day. Lots of media coverage . I was 14 at the time
It was bloody abysmal
Yes, the foundations of the cosmos was rocked... (rolling eyes...)...
He’s in the 27 club poor Brian
Murdered
Jeffrey Lorien was he? I’ve heard this before, is there good evidence?
the irony of Keith saying that there are people you know that will never be 70 years old.he will turn 77 this month.
He wasn't talking about himself!
Brian Jones had a huge amount of influence on the early Stones. That’s why EVERYTHING sounded different after he died.
Pissed off to see the same old beards blabbin' away...Buck 'em all

Love Merry Clayton and saw her perform that live (sans Stones)
That would have been fantastic!! Do you remember the year?? I knew she did a cover of it as a solo and it was in the charts.✌

As tears go by.. GREAT SONG
Lots of opinions from old men who lived vicariously through these great bands and most of us probably disagree with a lot being said but we can agree The Stones were number 2 in impact and influence behind The Beatles in the 60s.
I don’t know... they’re definitely up there, but I’ve always thought The Velvet Underground was the 2nd most influential group of the 60s. It’s close, maybe too close to call. Plus, you can’t really quantify something like that, being honest. They’re all way up there, but I definitely agree the Beatles were #1, definitely THE most influential.
@@nikolademitri731 Velvet Underground helped by Warhol were the 3rd branch to the rock tree. From the US east coast there we got The Stooges and Iggy Pop,Lou Reed ,the reinvented Bowie and the glam movement all the way to the shoe gazers.
That the beautiful thing. We don't have to. Some do and some don't.
I see them all equal in their contribution and Bloom of creativity.
I love VU, but how many albums? You don't hear kids in the Balkans piping out Venus in Furs, but Satisfaction?
Iggy Pop was from Detroit. Michigan. Midwest.
Brian was great no doubt. Mick Taylor was incredible and gave them their greatest rock n roll band in the world belt. After Taylor they became a greatest hits review. nuff said.
+Greg Jay Hardly. Miss You, Beast of Burden, Shattered, Emotional Rescue, Start Me Up, all sleek and modern songs worthy of any during the Taylor era.
Not even close. Vibe worse tracks on the Taylor years albums are significantly better than the songs you mention. Beggars is the best of non mick but it's a much more simplistic style with less need for Taylor like riffs but you still have some terrific jones slide guitar parts that he put together when he was semi aware and capable.
Well said as " nuff said ".
I wish I said it!
@@steveconn I never, ever play these songs.
naw. Ater Brian they never changed, innovated. They lost their soul, beauty, and originality
This is most excellent .. so glad to find it. Wild how the Stones survived … but not only that … thrived … all the way to today.
A Day in the Life is really two songs spliced together!
Jumping Jack Flash -greatest rock song ...ever
It's one of many. Personally I rate "I Wanna Be Your Dog" considerably higher than Flash, and, frankly, the older I get the more laughable Mick's cod-American accent becomes.
Adolescent lyrics, hasty drum fills, sloppy arrangement, pure audio pornography, ...and yet it sells millions. It’s entertainment not music.

You'd think comparing the Beatles and stones nonsense would have ceased by this era...they are both great innovative bands. But as even Mick Jagger has said " we were never in their league on any level"
What Jagger said was how great the Beatles were in the studio making records , music with genius George Martin, the rolling stones they had a lot trouble with the law and bad critics, by rolling stones were a very different band than the Beatles, raw blues rock, the rolling stones were great in concert ,with mick ,dancing and jumping around by 1968 they were better than the Beatles live touring band ,I dont think the Beatles would've kept up with rolling stones and there stage present.

amazing theyre alive and playing a tour in buffalo ny this summer wow..
Love them all from beginning to now. The greatest rock band on earth. The end.
when drunk there are the stones, when not drunk there are the stones
When I drink, all my Stones bootlegs get played. They sound better on my boombox outside than on my home stereo. Hello neighbors!
It's probably well known by now that, early on in the Stones' career, Brian considered replacing Mick with Paul Pond, who adopted Brian's surname and became Manfred Mann's lead singer as Paul Jones. Although technically a better singer, he didn't have Mick's charisma and wouldn't have written the songs Mick and Keith wrote. Still, the Stones definitely lost something when they lost Brian. Consider, for instance, Brian's moody, atmospheric arrangement of "Play With Fire," the tape of which he handed Chrissie Shrimpton for submission when she'd been told by Mick and Keith to submit the more typically rock 'n' roll version "Mess With FIre." Rest in peace, Brian.
In over 40 years as a Stones fan, I’ve never heard that Brian handed Play with Fire to Jagger’s girlfriend Chrissie Shrimpton to submit it AND that they had called it “Mess with Fire”? Who says that?! The cliche phrase has always been “Don’t play with Fire” long before the Stones were born. What a load of nonsense. Where did you pull that from?
Keith had dabbled with Spanish and Baroque classical style finger picking long before he met Brian Jones. I’m not anti-Brian Jone but you Jones fans come up with a lot of shite. Give him credit for what he did do and get over trying to give him all the credit which he doesn’t deserve. Sure he may have been treated somewhat unfairly but he dished it out too.
The atmosphere of the arrangement had more to do with the production by Phil Spector and Jack Nitzsche than anything to do with Brian Jones since Brian isn't even on the recording. Here is the documentation of the recording session at RCA in Hollywood. "The song was recorded late one night in January 1965 while the Stones were in Los Angeles recording with Phil Spector at the RCA Studios. Richards performed the song's acoustic guitar opening while Jagger handled vocals and tambourine (enhanced using an echo chamber). Spector played bass, and Jack Nitzsche provided the song's distinctive harpsichord arrangement and tamtams."
Greg Gomberg Thank you for the refresher, I do remember reading that at some point. Either way without diminishing Brian’s actual contributions he didn’t do as much as much as so many falsely claim.
What’s so strange about it is that the song doesn’t sound like it could have been recorded in Hollywood, not even in January. It’s such a drizzly English rainy day sounding song.
harry Johnson What? You can’t read?
harry Johnson Why? Are you charismatic? F’N moron.
Love this thankyou 🇮🇪😎😍💞
2,000 Light Years From Home beats anything on Sgt. Pepper for me by a mile, it's stood the test of time and was one of the first futuristic records, Brian Jones creativity at its' genius best. If Jones had sorted himself out and lived, he didn't need the Stones, in a sense he'd outgrown them and I think he would have done interesting relevant stuff in the 1970s probably in collaboration with others and been a thorn in Jagger/Richards side.
The only problem with your statement on peppers is the whole statement.
Ken Mills No it does not beat 'Within You Without You' or 'A Day In The Life' on Sgt Peppers at all! imo
Don't allow journalists to dictate your musical choices ..why pit those albums against each other .They are both great fuckin albums .
I have always thought 2000 Light Years From Home was 2000 light years ahead of the Beatles

I love you guys - The Beatles, The Stones - there's no basis for comparison and is just something that someone started, probably Andrew Loog Oldham, to generate ink and album sales. The Stones are a blues-based rock and roll band that grew out of the London blues scene led by guys like Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner. The Stones are deeply steeped in the blues and in a country-western blues tradition (read Nankering With The Stones by James Phelge) - The Beatles are a Liverpool rock and roll covers-band with country-western, blues, rock n' roll, movie and show tunes, English music hall, and English folk influences - which included the collaborative talents of all four members, especially the internal songwriting axis of Lennon and McCartney. The Beatles always wrote a fair share of their own recorded material and, with the soundtrack of A Hard Day's Night (UK version), were one of the first, if not the first, British bands to release an album consisting entirely of their own written material. Loog had to lock Jagger and Richards in a kitchen to get them to start writing their own material and it took them a while to come up with something suitable for The Stones to record - - though some of their early efforts -- That Girl Belongs To Yesterday, It Should Be You - - were recorded by other artists. The Beatles career really started in '59 when George Harrison joined McCartney and Lennon. While The Stones really gelled in the winter of 1963, by which time the Beatles were well on their way to international prominence. The one area where they do share commonalities is the three-way tension of of their frontline - Jagger, Richards, Jones - McCartney, Harrison, Lennon and their "drummer" issues - Ringo joined The Beatles just before their first official recording date - which resulted in the single "Love Me Do". Charlie was in a few other bands besides the Stones before committing to his rhythmic role in The Stones. If we are going to be making these silly comparisons at least some basis in reality would help. The Beatles are in the same musical boat as Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Searchers, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas - - other Liverpool bands. The Stones, in contrast, are part of a London legacy of blues and rock and roll that put the boot in the "trad-jazz" scene of the London nightlife at the time and includes Korner, Davies, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, The Who for a start. The Beatles from the beginning of their official recording career to the end (with a few bumps toward the end of the road) kept the same core musical personnel and producer. The Stones, not so much - with various producers and band members coming and going. The only real point of comparison between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones is their vast success outside of England - - and there are those who question whether Liverpool is really part of England. Love all the people.
Elegantly put, Mabusha Masekela. The only thing I would add is that The Beatles are, truly, a pop band. The Stones were never really out to make friends and considered the 'pop' bit of it as a lark.
+Vice Grip - I agree...
Vice Grip ......and everyone who refers to The Beatles as “pop” hasn’t studied their catalogue.
@@lindadote thank you
Still going thats insane
Wow a lot of really old men who’s talking about how much better Stones were when they were young!! I think it’s hard to listen to them before 68 cause they could hardly play!
Stones are best!
Tragic ending for Brian Jones - far too young
Kind of surrealistic observing the anticipated reactions of the finished TV Product Generation.
I really like this documentary, especially when the video track didn't lock up for several minutes at a time. But it was still very informative.
After Brian. The band lost it's shine & that off key sensitivity which was their trade mark. Not taking away anything from Mick Taylor, the band took on a hard raunchy biker image for the longest time. No comment regarding Ronnie Wood, except he brought them back to their original roots for a spell. Still it was Brian who was the special one who tagged the band.
Scott Pepper As long as Jagger is alive they've not lost their shine. Not the best singer, not the best dancer but the greatest frontman of any rock band.
Scott Pepper Got to agree there & Brian was murdered by the gardener it turns out,he confessed on his death bed to it :)
Scott Pepper I'm a huge Brian Jones fan & totally agree with you. Have you checked the music he made in Morroco? Awesome stuff. His innovation is sorely missed by the stones. He played so many instruments it's no joke. He was a true multi-instrumentalist
+dimethaltryptamine1 A "deathbed confession" to murder or any confession to murder in the US at least is not taken as guilt. A trial will still be held and evidence must exist other than just a confession. Unless you were joking about the gardener then Jones' death would stand as before which I believe was ruled "death by misadventure". Murder would only be a layman's opinion and have no weight at all outside of gossip magazine readership. One's death in a bed seems to have a commonality that is uncommon, that is the imagery of it anyway. Reality has another surprise for those who have never witnessed death.
The whole band should shine, not just the front man. Without Brian, the band actually lost some of its essence.
Satanic Majesties is a vastly underrated album. Yeah, I could do without all the free-form jamming that takes up too much space; but this alum also had "Citadel," "2000 Light Years From Home," and many more that were absolutely perfect. "Performance" was a fantastic film, I never tire of seeing it again. It (and the song "Memo From Turner") were the best things Jagger ever did, IMHO. When he first saw the script, he's reportedly said to Anita "I can't do this, it's not me," to which she replied: "Of course it isn't, it's Brian." "Rock n Roll Circus" also had Jethro Tull -- who also wiped out the Stones. And it's not that the Stones' performance was bad, it wasn't; but there were others there that were just ... more impressive, and that's precisely why Jagger sat on it. Brian was murdered, as we all know. Don't believe a word Keylock says; he was persoally involved. See "Case Closed: The Murder of Brian Jones," a transcript of a psychic communication. If you sneer at such things, well then of course, don't bother. Otherwise, check it out.
@harry Johnson At physics? Gee, that's gonna give ya some problems ...
Tbh I hated the Jethro Tull performance it just made sick. The Who appearance though was great and actually more impressive. Where can I watch the movie "Performance" safely? Also can you send me a link about the Jone's murder documentary
Part of the way through this, the audio continued but the film stopped.
Same here.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS GEM OF A VIDEO!! SIMPLY BREATH-TAKING!!
musically, I always liked best the stones period between let it bleed and exile on main street. the addition of bobby keys on sax and nicky Hopkins on piano really added flavor to the stones" sound. after this period stones kinda went downhill which can be said of any band that's been around as long as them. but that period was, I think, their best!
7:42 - the Stones were actually writing clever songs about English society like Play With Fire in '65 before the Kinks started doing it with Well-Respected Man, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, etc.
Rolling Ormond Yeah I was thinking the same thing. There's a shit load of great mid 60's Stones English pop songs starting with The Last time, Satisfaction isn't blues at all. Mother's little helper, Play with fire, paint it Black, Have you seen your mother baby, 19th nervous breakdown, Get off my cloud, ruby Tuesday, lady jane and those are just the hits during those "phase 2 years".
***** Of course everyone has to disregard this era and scream "Mick Taylor the best years' over and over, but the mid-sixties had some very sharp, durable songs, better than the Taylor years to be honest, no matter how complex the guitar solos.
Rolling Ormond
I'm a fan of all the eras really, (yes even Emotional Rescue, fun album, Tatoo You and Undercover as well. As a kid looking at the pictures in the books as well as listening to the change in their sound, it always amazed me how quickly and radically those times changed for everyone by the end of the 60's and as great as they were from the start by the end of that era they really did break in to a whole another sound starting with Jumping jack Flash. What set them apart from great bands like Cream and later Zeppelin was their groove, it was heavy but always something to move to, of course they had to keep Mick shaking and a moving.
***** Zep just sort of loud and empty; Stones music has so much more intelligence and soul.
There is just one Stones era with differents periods and influences but always Stones creativity and sound.
that moment started at Altamont!!
very,very super good..
Satisfaction became “kind of an anthem “?????? Get real! It was THE ANTHEM !!!
It was supposed to have a horn section believe it or not Keith's famous riff was originally a scratch track.
Brian was great but to me Mick Taylor was the best era of the Stones without question
Beggars banquet is my favorite Stone's lp
Mick Taylor was a damn good lead guitarist.
But Brian Jones was a better musician.
Nope Brian & Ronnie Wood!....💯
@@jayalan2223 💯right bro! Amen❤️👍
Mick Taylor and/with Nicky Hopkins on piano.
Un día en la vida de los Rolling Stones.
In my opinion not enough people 'GET' the Stones. They are the greatest authentic interpretation of the American Blues Rock sound. There's nothing nice about the blues, or Rock n Roll it's a vibe and an energy, that doesn't go into the studio to please people. To get on the radio. That isn't them. Like Dylan, and many of the greats, they do what their souls tell them too. If it sells it sells. They aren't here to win friends. They are here to do what they do. They took the American sound, and mixed it up with a classic education, a diet of good books, and also class A and sour mash bourbon. This really happened, in '68 with Beggars Banquet... Before that, they were chasing the Beatles... and The Kinks with Between The Buttons.
Their Satanic Majesties Request... is my favourite Stones album. :0)
Brian Wilson famously called Between the Buttons his favorite Stones album, w/My Obsession being his favorite Stones tune. Yeah, man! He even popped in for one of the sessions! (Shoulda produced the thing! Hehe! He's only the greatest rock n roll producer of all time!)
Im an american no band will ever equal the stones ever they are number 1 allways
I don't know why I had a problem with the screen blacking out, then it was OK, then parts were blacked out again. Right now it won't show me the credits at the end, but I did see before. ??
Would have liked to hear a version with Jones as a major player.It's similar to Keith Levene getting bumped out of the early Clash, or losing Barrett in Pink Floyd; they were the ones with the groundbreaking ideas.To my mind, the loss of Barrett was deadly to PF, though I'm well aware many would argue that.
Pink Floyd didn't start getting good until Barrett left. Took them a couple albums, but they figured it out.
I’m in the minority, but I prefer 60s Floyd (specifically the 1st album) as well. More imaginative & exciting than their later output!
jones & barett had a lot in COMMON!!!!!
The best band ever !
GENUINELY SPECTACULAR
Beggars Banquet
Aftermath
Between the Buttons
Let it Bleed
Satanics Majesties Request
Sticky Fingers
All great albums
Brussel Affairs 1973 Best live ever - Besides "Get your yaya's out" and there's one of the earliest bootleg recording from Perth in 1965 Australia -the greatness in the documentary of the super speed in the concerts from those days- It sounded more like "hit and run" performance a shock wave effect.
Satanic Majesties and Between the Buttons are my 2 favorite Stones albums. They get somewhat disparaged here.
+peter mills Thanks. Hey you ought to watch (if you haven't already) the Ginger Baker documentary , "Beware of Mr. Baker." It's from 2012 and I gave it a ten star rating on IMDB.
Yes! Amazing, really liked your clip ! Music is the greatest invention of our species isn't it? I'm so thankful to be a musician!
Loved this movie.... and it made it clear. You can argue all you want, and wonder what they said to Jimi...or who made the band, critique, others, compain about the video quality.the hypocrisy, but remember, "after all it was you and me". Brian, Jimi, Janis are not victims of rock, or fame, or the drug culture. It is beyond me to speculate the reasons for their early demise, or attribute it to any social or psychological cause.
