What I love most about the video is that they're not trying to actively show how cool they are to the viewer, they're just grooving to the music. Absolutely love this song, both the sound as well as the message.
Great pick, Craig! One of my favorite Stones songs. Especially because of Sonny Rollins' sax work on the track. Fun fact: the building in front of which Mick & Keith are waiting is the building on the cover of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album. 96-98 St Mark’s Place, Lower East Side, NYC. Additional fun fact: Peter Tosh is waiting with Mick & Keith on the stoop. Thanks Craig & Harri.
Such a cool tune and video, from the 1981 album, Tattoo You" though the music was originally written in Jamaica in 1973 by Keith and Mick. Sonny Rollins on sax 🎷🎷🎷and Nicky Hopkins on piano and with Charlie's subtle drumming and Bill's soulful bass, the instrumentation is so satisfying on this tune. Mick's vocals are the icing on the cake. Great memory. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Craig. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
"Don't need a whore, I don't need no booze Don't need a virgin priest But I need someone I can cry to I need someone to protect" The critics praised this song at the time as a sign of their maturing beyond groupies , one-night stands, and meaningless loveless sex to true companionship.
I alway liked this videos because of the Peter Tosh cameo in the beginning of the video sitting on the stoop. You should check out his duet with Mick Jagger “don’t look back “. He was also opening shows for the stones during this era
In 1964 The Rolling Stones released their first studio album, approaching 60 years later and they’re releasing a new album and going out on tour…amazing!
Jagger: "I had a lot of trepidation about working with Sonny Rollins. This guy's a giant of the saxophone. Charlie said, 'He's never going to want to play on a Rolling Stones record!' I said, 'Yes he is going to want to.' And he did, and he was wonderful.
Came out in 1981 a year after I graduated High School, brought back memories sitting around with my buddies just shooting the shit. Those days were worry free.
This is PEAK elegantly wasted Keith. Absolutely iconic. I think he was sober by this time, but some vibes are so strong, you can’t fight them. Adore this band.
The man Keith shakes hands with on the stairs is a was a well-known Raggae musician, Peter Tosh who was friends with the Stones at the time. He was unforunately murdered by home invaders in 1987.
sounds like Mick Taylor guitar, to me. Even though not with the group at the time, I understood this song to have been created back in those days (when he was)
Hey Craig, great request! The “Tattoo You” album came out right around the time my future husband and I met each other working in a restaurant. This song, among others was played frequently on the little radio in the kitchen. Good times! Thanks Craig and Harri 🌺✌️
I’m well into middle-age now and had been listening to the Stones since I was a kid (casual fan). But I stumbled upon this song maybe 15 years ago and liked it immediately- I guess just because it was a little bit more mellow than their usual stuff but still has a nice groove. I probably hadn’t heard it before because it didn’t get much radio play in the 80’s and 90’s - wasn’t exactly classic rock, and they didn’t play the Stones on the light rock station. Anyway, I’m glad you’re giving it some exposure. You can only listed to “Satisfaction” so many times, so this is one of my go-to Stones songs.
Gotta love micks delivery, tatoo you was exceptionally mixed and produced for '81,this song is actually from 72,well at least the embryo is,I think only 4 songs on tatoo you were new or current writes
A wonderful vibe to relax and think, probably about love, about a wonderful future!)) I recommend Harri to listen to the group Curved Air, a British rock band formed in 1970 in London, England. Curved Air (according to Allmusic) is one of the most unusual, technically equipped and, at the same time, underrated progressive rock bands of its time, combining elements of hard rock, classical music, psychedelia, folk and jazz in its work.
I'll probably get hate but I was never a huge Stones fan but really like a few of their tunes. This is on the top of my list, it's just cool and chill.
A lot of people think the Stones peaked with Exile on Main Street in the early 70s but they did produce some good stuff after that and this is one of them ....... along with tracks like Miss You and Love is Strong
I always hear it as a guy who WAS waiting on a lady, but she didn't show up. So he has to rationalize, and tell himself he was really just waiting on a friend. He's trying to put a good face on some heartbreak.
Yeah, the Stones didn't shy away from controversial lyrics in their songs. Hell, look at one of their biggest radio and MTV hits from this same album (1981), "Start Me Up", there's necrophelia in a line near the end of the song, and nobody notices, definitely not the censors. They snuck one past them bigtime, lol.
Huge Stones fan but this one is not high on my list. Next up I would suggest a completely opposite vibe, and a deep cut to boot, but it really shows the Stones at their core IMO - “Ventilator Blues” off of Exile on Main Street. Simply phenomenal!
With regard to 'the word', it so funny to me that George Carlin spoke about those 7 dreaded words 50+ years ago, and since that time we've regressed into the fearful, uptight, disingenuous world that we've become. I like the song though.
What I love most about the video is that they're not trying to actively show how cool they are to the viewer, they're just grooving to the music. Absolutely love this song, both the sound as well as the message.
yeah they really don't have to try!
@@dundundata7603 And you don't always look for a woman just as women don't always look for a man. Sometimes we just want to hang out with a friend.

@@DawnSuttonfabfour Good times. Great music. 👍✌️🎶🇨🇦
@@marybaillie8907 And it was all to do, before us. Sigh.
"A smile relives a heart that grieves."
Yes. He said it!!! Lol..... He wasn't looking for any woman. Just a friend.
"Don't need a whore, I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect"

I was tripping on acid when I first saw this years ago when this video first came out...and thought Don Knotts was singing.
I thought the same thing. Don Knotts!

Recorded in Kingston. Jamaica has been good to Keith, and the Stones in general.
That sax is so deep and rich. Nobody else sounds like Sonny Rollins. And the great interwoven guitar lines of Keith and Woody. Like Beast of Burdon
"A smile relieves a heart that grieves" Such a great line
I'm a huge Stones fans and this is one of my very favorite songs and videos.
In 1964 The Rolling Stones released their first studio album, approaching 60 years later and they’re releasing a new album and going out on tour…amazing!
Stones in top form here. Nothing to prove and they give us a classic, timeless tune.
Jagger: "I had a lot of trepidation about working with Sonny Rollins. This guy's a giant of the saxophone. Charlie said, 'He's never going to want to play on a Rolling Stones record!' I said, 'Yes he is going to want to.' And he did, and he was wonderful.
Great ballad that closes 1981's Tattoo You. Loved it as a freshman at University. I hang on to every note of Sonny Rollins' saxophone.
With the great Sonny Rollins on sax
Early eighties. I was in high school. Not a huge Stones fan but I can’t get enough of this track…probably the sax.
Love it.
He's waiting on Keith!
This reminds me of the way back times before cellphones. We were often waiting on friends when hangin out.
The Stones are DNA !!

Love the Stones, and this song, one of my all time favourites ☺ ♥.
One of The Stones best!
Fabulous song, one of my favorites by them. Thanks!
This is my favourite Stones video.
Always loved this one. Was never into music videos, but I do love watching the boys meeting up in this one!
The man Keith shakes hands with on the stairs is a was a well-known Raggae musician, Peter Tosh who was friends with the Stones at the time. He was unforunately murdered by home invaders in 1987.
Love this song, fun fact the stoop Micks waiting on is the building on the cover of Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti
One of my favorite Stones songs
Great album/CD.
Love this oldie, Harri
It's so good to see this video again ❤
I believe those are the steps from the Physical Graffiti album
Great pick Craig my friend. Think Willow. 😉👍🙃🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤴
It's from the 80's, and yes he said it!
The Rolling Stones made my generation better and more relaxed! I thank the Lord for making me live at the same time as them!
sounds like Mick Taylor guitar, to me. Even though not with the group at the time, I understood this song to have been created back in those days (when he was)

Saxophone part by the great Sonny Rollins.
I think that's Peter Tosh on the left of Mick & Keith

And Sonja. My dad had the album with the artwork printed on the vinyl. Air Conditioning.

I remember seeing the video for this back in 90's and it was my first time hearing it. Loved it immediately.
Miss Bill in the band
Shot on the streets of Greenwich Village NYC. 🗽
@craigaust great selection!!! I've requested as tears go by a few times but he wasn't able to get to it.
Thanks!
Love this. It’s playful and easy. One of my fav RS songs. And the Sax 🎷! Thank you !
💕💕💕
Love this era Stones.
1981!!!!
White pants on a NYC stoop! Lololol
Tattoo You and Some Girls are my two favorite Stones albums. I think their best.
That's reggae star Peter Tosh on the steps.
A lot of people think the Stones peaked with Exile on Main Street in the early 70s but they did produce some good stuff after that and this is one of them ....... along with tracks like Miss You and Love is Strong
The Great Sonny Rollins is on the SAX
One of my two favourite
R S. songs. Love that sax. Thanks for requesting Craig.
He also said he doesn't want a flooze.😅
This is from side 2 of the album Tattoo You. The greatest side 2 ever.
keith steals it with his cool
The sax solo is by the jazz great Sonny Rollins, whose in his late 80's and also still going. This was in 1980.
these were the steps in the video of the apartments on LED ZEPPELIN PHYSICAL GRAFFITTI ALBUM COVER
ALSO I LOVE MICK JAGGER ALSO i named my son after his last name ,,,check OUT THE STUFF ON THE ROLLING STONES EXILE ON MAIN STREET ALBUM AMAZING
Isn't one of the doorstep guys Peter Tosh?
Yes
Was part of the goats head soup sessions in Jamaica but had no lyrics at that time so it wasn't used .
I always hear it as a guy who WAS waiting on a lady, but she didn't show up. So he has to rationalize, and tell himself he was really just waiting on a friend. He's trying to put a good face on some heartbreak.
That's the building on the led Zeppelin album physical graffiti
Sonny Rollins on sax.

You mean "You make a dead man cum?" I don't think they're saying that especially.
What is it with people nowadays? are we so afraid of offending people by commenting on lyrics that we cant say them? Sad days indeed
No one bleeped it out, we all knew they had all the sex drugs they could handle . This was just a cool groove of hanging out. ☮️
Huge Stones fan but this one is not high on my list. Next up I would suggest a completely opposite vibe, and a deep cut to boot, but it really shows the Stones at their core IMO - “Ventilator Blues” off of Exile on Main Street. Simply phenomenal!
It was 1981

P tosh in this one
The Stones do not put much production in their videos…..Keep It Simple Stupid…the good old KISS method……
They look so wasted in the bar.
Love the song hate the video
