This is a song that I have heard 1000’s of times over the half a century. And yet I never grow tired of it. In fact, I can keep it on repeat without any problem. I’m not sure why this video was created but I am very grateful that it was. 56 years later, it’s a treasure, especially with its visual clarity and crisp sound. Thank you for uploading this for all of us to enjoy.

Keith Bass and Guitar work, incredible. Interesting fact. The guitar solo... it was elevated accented by Jimmy Miller switching the amp feed off and on in the mixing booth. Brian Jones - No comment.
It is beautiful seeing everyone create as one in the beginning (the background chorus) then each artist break off individually expanding on the inspiration from the collective rhythm & talents of the song…. So many elements fusing, pinnacle of music
Anita kissing Keith (2:20) while Brian stands next in the background chorus is almost worse than Yoko attending White Double Album recordings. Boo boo boo. No sympathy. Not meant to be un-woke. No, not at all.
@@arsenasvarov1400 live under a rock? This is shot on film. Led Zeppelin’s ‘Song Remains the Same’ and The Band’s ‘The Last Waltz’ (Martin Scorsese) are but two huge 1970’s concert films. There is film footage of literally 100’s of bands and venues of this picture quality. Try 1958’s ‘Jazz on a Summer’s Day’ of the Newport Festival; Anita O’Day is outstanding.
Naw,the song is great but it's apples and pears. One of the Stone's best,although my favorite is 'Gimme Shelter'. Stones were more blues based and the Beatles had more of a Rock a billy,Motown bent.
@@PC4USE1 I understand, but to be honest, blues and rockabilly/motown are all the same thing. If The Beatles had written this song, it would be hailed as a classic "diversion" from traditional blues norms. Incorporating styles not typical to the original blues concept., Still, I believe The Beatles had a greater ,musical exploration but, we must acknowledge, we are comparing apples to pears here.
And into the 7th decade now. The 8th Wonder Of The World. An iconic and timeless track. The only song that gets people to get violent at a Stones concert, as confirmed by Mick Jagger and I can confirm having gone to 3 shows over the last 3 decades. "What's troubling you is the nature of my game". Go figure.
Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler? Did you recognise Robert Johnson's Hell Hound insert? King of the Delta Blues. Straight to the roots. KnowwhatImean, bro'? Right on, bro', right on.
This song is loosely band on an absolutely amazing book called “The master and Margarita”. If you’re a fan of the song and the duality of man and situational ethics and the question of whether the devil made man do it… Or, if man made the devil do it? Should absolutely read it. One of the best books of all time.
sorry to drop a Boomer comment but have to say I feel so lucky growing up listening to The Stones, Beatles, Kinks, Mamas and the Papas, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Animals, Small Faces,, Bob Dylan, Melanie, Sevie Wonder, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin etc etc the list goes on! (Even the 80 and early 90s were pretty good) The kids of today and the last 25years or so have been short changed as far as music goes, so sad...
It's all about what you want out of entertainment. These days, it's all about looks and attitude. The music come second, sadly. But hey, if that's what they want, so be it.
The Yardbirds, Them, Cream, The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix, Love, Velvet Underground, The Doors, Curtis Mayfield, Traffic, Procul Harum, Buffalo Springfield, Jefferson Airplane, Neil Young, The Band..
Say what you will disparaging the Boomer generation but thank them for the Rolling Stones and the greatest rock and roll for all posterity - ypure welcome!
Bill did not need it, he was an excellent bass player. In the other hand Keith's play is brilliant. Rather of teaching Bill how to play it as author he wanted to keep it one hand.
Keith once said that a strong side roast cherry would always be a great ambition forecast in his new pops. He mentioned that a wine bloomer would try and escape his trench rug before a rime and instead of tow berry he always clinched to a notion.
Never realized Marianne Faithful and Anita Pallenberg sang backup on this. Wonder if that was planned ahead of time or if they were just kind of hanging around the studio and someone suggested using the girls for some higher tones. And poor Ian, did that guy get the shaft or what? I'm sure he was well compensated, but Jesus, you can't be a Stone because you don't have the look and you're too old.
@dirtydave1889 The Stones have been called "The greatest rock n' roll band in the world" since 1969. You can disagree with it, but it's not a matter of me not going to a lot of concerts. My guess is I went to more in 70s alone than you have your entire life.
@@steveconn Me too. Brians a sad case. One of the first victims of “the lifestyle”. Can’t imagine having keef to compete with in the drug department. That’s almost a death sentence in itself…
I could be wrong, but I think the only two studios that were eight-track in the UK in 1968 were Olympic and Trident. EMI hadn't officially set up for eight track just yet. Both Olympic and Trident would have been considered the tippy-top of technology in Britain in the 1960's. But, I think a lot of this is simply mugging for the camera OR.... Mick Jagger WAS in the studio for the tracking session.... but he just laid down a scratch vocal. Even by 1968.... lead vocals are done in an isolation booth. To have Mick live with the band is unusual, but also his mouth movements clearly don't match the finished vocals in the song. Also note that Wyman's clothes change depending on the camera angle and in several instances, he's not even playing. To be honest, I don't know enough about the Rolling Stones to be accurate, but my educated guess is that they filmed a tracking session for the basic rhythm tracks of the song, or this was all done simply to make a film.
@@bingsinatra5283 Thanks for the info. I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to the Stones. I mean I dig 'em, but I'm not fanatical. Yeah, EMI was 16-track by 1973.... Sgt Pepper was recorded on 4-track and I've seen some of the multitracks.... they are not only crowded but hissy due to the constant bouncing of tracks. 4-track was bear skins and stone knives compared to 16-track with Dolby! Imagine what the Beatles could have accomplished with 16-tracks!! I bet some of the vocal harmonies they came up with during the Get Back sessions and then Abbey Road would be magical if they could have done them on 16-track. It's a complete tragedy their harmonies are captured to a single mono track for their last two albums. I honestly believe the Beatles were really hitting full stride in '68/'69... I mean, they came up with some vocal harmonies that were rivalling the Wilson brothers of the Beach Boys!

Listen to that piano,Nicky Hopkin,drives the song up!
Great fills.
Happy to see so many people with good hearing and tast;)
Absoulutely. What a great talent.
Nicky hopkin hat mit einige Größen gespielt. The Beatles ect. Kennt kaum jemand. Toller Musiker lg Karin
Yeah, definitely piano out of this world
i think nicky hopkin played with the jerry band for a bit
Ahhhh heaven with Keith on bass!
❤Best. Band. Ever.❤
Filmed June 3-4, 1968. Kennedy changed to plural in lyrics when RFK Sr. shot 😢
This song will be forever timeless

Yeah, mate it’s fire and the piano as well. It’s from another world.
Played by Keith Richards no less.
So many years later, find this moving recording of one of the RS ' best song.
Thank You For Sharing
This song is sheer perfection!
Including, of course, the background chorus.....woo woo woo woo........mesmerizing.
Which I’ve always thought is too dominating throughout the song 😚
Woo WOO.

やっぱり何回見てもグッド👍👍👍
Got to see the Stones 30 years ago on the Voodoo Lounge tour. Greatest rock band ever!!! Still remember that night!
Got to see the Stones on their "North American Farewell Tour" in 1981.
Worst concert I've ever attended.
The Steel Wheels tour was the summer before my 12th grade year and we all thought it would be their last tour 1990.
@@KiloBravo-r6d Yep Steel Wheels for me at Wembley, fantastic night.
Such a classic...will be here for all eternity😈😈😈
This footage is from the Jean-Luc Godard film in 1968
Masterpiece… will be enjoyed forever by all generations
Over 50 years later this video is more clear than tv shows from the 90’s and Walmart security footage shown on the evening news from yesterday
probably shot on film
Duh, it's not video, it's film.
It's amazing that people now don't understand that photography is 200 years old.

Even though this isn't the actual audio, love seeing bands working and recording in the studio
Amazing footage - timeless song !
This grabs you from the first line and doesn’t let go. (Godard’s prowling camera is pretty awesome too).

This was released between The White Album, and Abbey Road. The Beatles remained quite calmly in the water in a yellow submarine.

Tell me baby whats my name
Tell me honey gotta guess my name...
I just love that part 🎉
Pure gold! So glad I saw them in their prime.
That is feckin brilliant
Rock band to rock stars to legend to institution...
Thanks England for such supremacy in music making your the best.
and of course the english black bluesmen have created everything ? Supremacy, you're sure ?
Is that the reason the Stones usually come to the U.S. to record and master their albums. Mostly they head for L.A.
@@T.Hutchersonthis one wasn't ! 😂
where ever you look, genius at work

Wooo. Woooo. Chills

2 in one .
a really special song X
the great video, time flies...
Talented he was but always looked like he was catching up to himself. 😊
Super bajo !!!🎉🎉🎉
We had a time. Those were the days my friend....
A different world today. A different culture.

Best stones song of all times
Charlie refuses to woo-hoo.
He’s the only one who didn’t make the deal.
He did enough for this one.
Heard his drums woo-hooing
Keith played bass
He is disgusted to be standing there…his kit was calling.
This song has taken on new meaning in 2024.
It's the exact same meaning and nothings changed.
They say that every four years.
@@LeandelDeFateYes, and I would add it’s been for decades

@@CFox.7Keith, he also plays the guitar solo. It works because he's so busy on bass, Wyman would've probably played it more conventionly

Agree. But that’s all I have available right now😉
👍🤠 Respect. Never a big Stones fan, that was cool.
Creo que este video corresponde a un fragmento de la película "One plus one", de Jean Luc Godard.
