I wouldn't say his contributions were/are overlooked at all. I mean, what else can you do? He was not part of the band. They mixed him up way up there; had his name on the sleeve, took him on tour. I think every band that had him for a while would have made him a member.
Elliott! that was a great post. Namaste. I play piano. I love Leon Russell and Billy Joel , Elton John etc. I can confirm under oath, that Nicky Hopkins (RIP) was having FUN impressing Mick Jagger and auditioning (in his mind) to be a supply piano player for the Rolling Stones. To be sure. God bless him.
I had the privilege to become friends with Nicky Hopkins in the late 70's. He was sort of shy and friendly - not at all what you would expect from a rock star. One of the nicest people you would ever want to know.
Without Nicky these stones records wouldn’t be what they are, Ian is also an important figure in the stones, from everything on Exile to Beggars banquet Nicky rip
always bugs me guys like Hopkins don`t get writing credit. Did Mick and Keith tell him what to play? I doubt it. So,if not he co wrote it,but never got credit and lots of cash.
On the contrary, I think the piano gives the song legitimacy and solidity. That's why it does hold the whole song together. It remains constant in the E,D,A progression. I used to play it with guitar, but now I play it on piano and let the other instruments fall into place. Cheers.
The piano doesn’t hold this song together. It IS the song. Too bad the rest of the band ruined it with the pitiful “woo-woo” crap. Otherwise, it’s the best music I’ve ever heard.
What really made Nicky special IMO, was that he knew when to play, or not to play. When to hold back. He builds this track organically here. I know players who would have come in from Bar 1 with the way he is playing at around 3:30 mark. One sees that in many of the great players. I was listening to isolated tracks of Clapton o/d his lead guitar on Beatles 'Guitar Weeps" - half of the time he is chak-ing along, not doing anything. So cool.
Yeah. Like Nicky was always aware of the finished product, and what was needed and what was not needed. It's like he was thinking as an arranger, who was also jamming on the piano when the moments was right.
You're welcome! It's hard to choose a favorite, but the piano definitely stands out to me the most, and it's quite a privilege to be able to listen to it by itself!
Nicky Hopkins played piano on John Lennons Imagine album and played the incredible piano part for the song Jealous Guy. Years later he ran into John and asked him why he was never invited back to play on his other albums or work with him. He wondered if John didnt like his playing. Lennon replied...'I didn't want to bother you cuz you seemed so busy working with The Stones'. At which Hopkins said he would have of course wanted to play with Lennon again and they both shook their heads over the misunderstanding.
He played the great riff on Oh Yoko! I used to think John's playing had improved since Beatle's days :-). Also, he didn't play one style (like Ian did), listen to "She's A Rainbow". The riff for "We Love You" makes the song too.
I went to a small high school in Los Angeles called newbridge. They were only about 10 to 12 people in each grade. The school catered to an interesting group of children of famous people like ken Norton and Chyna Phillips and Burt Bacharach etc anyways most of us were using drugs quite heavily it was 1980-ish and the science teacher did a lot of alternative things like teaching us meditation anyways he brought his friend Nikki Hopkins in to talk with us I don't think any of us really understood how important of a musician he was. He talked to us about using drugs and getting addicted to heroin kind of a scared straight talk he was very friendly and kind and did it out of kindness
After listening to this I have even more respect for Hopkins than I had before. I mean, the song actually has a very simple musical structure (you can hear that in the exposé, the first 50 seconds), it just thrives off what the musicians put into it (how he starts decorating his chords from 0:50, and especially from 4:12).
I tend to be a guitar guy, but I have always loved the Piano Playing in Sympathy. Great to hear it isolated, which makes it clear why it is so riveting and powerful. What a great combination of talent these guys have/had. I am thankful for everyone that played a part in this Song (Writers, Performers, Engineers, Etc.).
This is the best find I've had on TH-cam in a long time. I'm speechless... I found this tune and its artist. The author of the video, you are the best.
His style of playing is/was something completely different from everyone else. Excellent!!! 👍💯🎶🎵 Wish we had this for She's a rainbow - and many others....
Mr Hopkins was truly the greatest 🎹 pianist i ever heard in all my lifetime ❤this man was truly a genius and very gifted on that piano 🎹 WOW😮hes the reason this African American soul sister loves rock and roll music❤❤❤❤❤
Nicky was amazing on piano but I'm also a huge fan of both Billy Preston and Leon Russell. These 3 men got the best sounds out of whatever they were given, whether it was piano or keyboard. I love Billy in The Beatles Get Back documentary.
Thank you very much for this. The photograph is amazing too. No special bench or anything thing. I wonder if the guitar is vibrating sympathetically and plugged in with the amp on. A friend of mine has the same guitar. The piano part is fantastic. The walk up part from A to E sounds wrong or off on the 2nd note but it isn’t. In 9th grade I got thrown out of a friend’s basement by his parents when we were rehearsing this song. He was the drummer I was the guitarist. Our singer and I were never ever to allowed in or around their house again. Sorry to say our friend went to Africa on a mission for his church and died from a bacterial infection in his heart while on his spiritual mission to convert. He was so talented on the acoustic guitar & drums.
I had forgotten Hopkins' collaboration with the Stones. An amusing example is a sort of basement tapes recording he did with Jagger, Wyman, and Watts along with Ry Cooder, called "Jamming with Edward." He also worked with the Beatles, George Harrison on his solo albums, with Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service, to drop a few names. Very interesting to hear this piano track broken out. . . .
I have it, too. Original barely-played from the early 70s. Always dubbed them onto tape and then stored the vinyl. My youngest daughter has commandeered all my Who, Clash, Joy Division etc.
I've listened to almost all the covers of this in youtube, and NOBODY could play at least 10 seconds close to Nicky's performance. They're all bad and lifeless copies, and they all start to fail at 0:40. People don't pay attention to the all the details of this masterpiece, that is like a song inside the main song.
He plays the keyboard at the end of John Lennon How Do You Sleep (1971) which led me to this. He played with the Beatles and all four solo artists. He's mentioned by Ringo at the end of You and Me (Babe) (1973).
How impressive that Nicky Hopkins was in such high demand. Everybody wanted him on their records. The Stones. The Beatles. The Who. I heard that he was offered membership in Led Zeppelin. And of course, his fine work with QMS. Check out his song "Spindrifter."
the stones were originally a 6 piece band and had a very fucking talented piano player name of Ian Stewart ('Stu'). he was booted from the lineup by their star-maker manager andrew loog oldham for looking too 'ordinary'. it's a testament to the great man that he stayed with them as their road manager and sat in on piano during songs that he liked for the rest of his life... i'm sure a quick google search will help you here. and you'll hear some great blues and boogie-woogie piano playing while you're doing it! all due respect to nicky hopkins, though!
All good. Yeah, some "wow" in the tape playback.But ALL GOOD. And that solid LH octave repetiton adds continuity. Nicky was thinking as an arranger would to make the track work.
The piano and the bass are so important yet so overlooked. This is their best track ever, by far. So complicated, so thick. Flagship of the Rolling Stones fleet. In this time period they were at the height of their musical proficiency, and their music was at the height of pop culture. Heavyweight champions of the world, in my opinion. Mean it. Get down.
He put a lot of energy into this music, literally! I'm using this as a hand strengthening exercise. I figure if I can play like him for the duration of the whole song I'll develop death grip hands!
It’s unfortunate Hopkins wasn’t touring in 1969 with the Stones in America when the MSG Ya ya’s was recorded. That is the only piece missin’ from the live mastery of the ya ya’s album.

Nicky's piano playing on this track is very effective and "just right", but I find this a bit more imaginative : th-cam.com/video/E1_qZdRi6kc/w-d-xo.html
Does anyone know what the box is on top of the piano? A Helpinstill preamp or a mike mixer? I still have the Helpinstill pickups. I used to play his 'Pig's Boogie' back in the day.
A haunting reminder of how critical yet overlooked Hopkins' talent was to the success of the Stones' most important music.
Yeah he was tough man...played with them all.
I wouldn't say his contributions were/are overlooked at all. I mean, what else can you do? He was not part of the band. They mixed him up way up there; had his name on the sleeve, took him on tour. I think every band that had him for a while would have made him a member.
He is not overlooked at all. We all know him and the other guy, Ian Stewart if not mistaken, were there on many records from the RS.
Well said!
basically the record is Nicky Hopkins - end of!
As someone who plays piano I can say that he sounds like he's having a lot of fun
I've been practicing this song for years trying to capture the feel of it and I still don't come close, but it's definitely incredibly fun to play!

Yep. And I don't see how anyone could play "Rip This Joint" without a huge grin on his face. Greatest rock pianist ever in my humble opinion.

Same here, but later than 70's.
I think it was Art Garfunkel who once said he wished he could find a wife with the personality of Nicky ...
Wow...legend 👏👏🙏
Without Nicky these stones records wouldn’t be what they are, Ian is also an important figure in the stones, from everything on Exile to Beggars banquet Nicky rip
always bugs me guys like Hopkins don`t get writing credit. Did Mick and Keith tell him what to play? I doubt it. So,if not he co wrote it,but never got credit and lots of cash.
How much was Nicky paid for this? Not sure I want to know...
@@bananaspiel1850 Well,Nicky has passed and I would be surprisd if anyone else would know or care.
@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out Hi. I was making a point. i understand how it works for sure.
@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out so,if I don`t point out every example,you ask me why I didn`t.
Genius. This piano holds the whole piece together and gives it edge and grit.
On the contrary, I think the piano gives the song legitimacy and solidity. That's why it does hold the whole song together. It remains constant in the E,D,A progression. I used to play it with guitar, but now I play it on piano and let the other instruments fall into place. Cheers.
Add Keith Bassline
and pacing of the rhythm section as a whole - his play provides melodic tempo overlaying Charlie Watts metronome licks...
Perfect comment...holds it together...Nicky killed it
The piano doesn’t hold this song together. It IS the song. Too bad the rest of the band ruined it with the pitiful “woo-woo” crap. Otherwise, it’s the best music I’ve ever heard.
Nicky Hopkins never forgotten. Best piano player I ever heard or saw.
I like it when a piano sounds like that. It's beautiful.
This must be Heaven. The miraculous and genius Nicky Hopkins
YES !!!
This has gospel chords , blues chords and just great command of the 88 keys.
Well done!!!
maby the best Stones-Song ever in my eyes. The Piano-part and Keith's bassline is the backbone of this masterpiece.
What really made Nicky special IMO, was that he knew when to play, or not to play. When to hold back. He builds this track organically here.

Yeah. Like Nicky was always aware of the finished product, and what was needed and what was not needed. It's like he was thinking as an arranger, who was also jamming on the piano when the moments was right.
And I'll check out the Clapton isolated track on "While My Guitar . . " . I spent may a day listening to the entire White Album in the late 1960s.
He actually goes balls out from the first second in John Lennon's 'Oh Yoko.'
He had to stay out of the way of the guitarists so he syncopated it and kind of plays a bit ahead or behind the beat
I've always marveled at Nicky's piano playing on this track. Thank you for posting Ben!

I just love how many people are alive that can appreciate how truly exceptional this is.
Superb, Nicky had such effortless talent & soul.
So much for unappreciated genius. I judge people by their friends and Mr. Hopkins had the best of friends. Thanks.
Amen.. so many tracks 👣 done for amazing artists.. un heralded by the clueless masses..

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting that middle note on the walk up.
Guitar shown in pic is John Cipollina's from Quicksilver M.S. his effects are on the floor too. Taken at a show in Berkeley, with John and Nicky.
Yeah, it sounds weird when he hit’s the D#.
But Keith hits a D# on the bass part as well.
Sorry for your loss bro

Likewise! Plus some Leon Russell.
Same here! They were the best!
let’s jam, my guitar style came from richards and rounded out with pete townshend lol
thank you for this video which will normally not be found ,continues like this
He plays the keyboard at the end of John Lennon How Do You Sleep (1971) which led me to this. He played with the Beatles and all four solo artists. He's mentioned by Ringo at the end of You and Me (Babe) (1973).
He sounds like he’s having a great time.
I was looking a correct interpretation all over TH-cam. Thanks man. I still have to learn some details.
So important to the sound of so many great bands and tracks
I wish the track kept going at the end, he was killing it with the improv...
Breathtaking
Check Nicky Hopkins with JGB in the mid 70s. Jerry covered a few Stones song.
I was listening to This track Yesterday ,Nicky Made this classic "GREAT"...
Amazing - love it !
i jammed along as a teenager ... love Nicky and of course the Stones
Brilliant Nicky Hopkins
I love his impromptu work on the “Jamming With Edward” album.
I love that album cuz Ry Cooder is on it too
Nicky's playing on 'Highland Fling' is just the bomb!!!!! Marvellous!!!
This is brilliant! Thanks so much
I've stolen ... um ... I meaned borrowed more from Nicky Hopkins than I care to admit. Thanks for posting this.
what a fucking gem!!!!
Excellent! Now I can hear exactly what he played and try to replicate! Takes a lot of energy to keep that rhythm going through the whole song!
Always did like the piano track on that tune.
The only band that Hopkins was actually a member of (recording and performing revenue, rather than just hired gun) was Quicksilver Messenger Service.
Jeff Beck Group (briefly)
Genius.
Una maldita obra maestra
Thanks - really great to hear this isolated. Stones keys players never got the respect for their contributions.
Incredible.

It’s kind of funny: The Rolling Stones were always a piano style blues band, but none of the members played.
Was spectralayers by Steinberg used?

Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
