The most detailed and comprehensive (best) docs on the Rolling Stones I've ever seen. "Well done" is putting it mildly.
thank you for checking it out and letting me know. appreciated. Like I said by a fan for a fan. hope you check out my others. cheers
GREAT Documentary of this Iconic band.. that always give us fans pure excitement like no other !! Thank you for sharing this so very informative.
thank you Abbie for commenting and letting me know. I am so glad many fans are enjoying and appreciating my delivery. so glad to do it. hopefully you saw my others. cheers
OMG...how do you just keep making these all progressively BETTER and BETTER?!!?
I can't wait to see part 3!!
I bought my ticket yesterday to see the Stones here at the New Orleans JazzFest in October. Can't wait to party with the boys one more time!!
Keep up the excellent work, I know it is a lot of hard work....it is VERY much appreciated by all of your viewers!!
thanks CC....not started Pt3 yet....enjoying the downtime before I got to kick in project mode. Enjoy this tour. thanks for the support!!
Easily THE BEST, without question, THE BEST in depth Rolling Stones documentaries ever! Only problem I'm having watching and listening is I'm so "into it" that I've pulled out one of my Fender Telecasters, tuned to 'open G' and playing 'Hand of Fate' while trying to not miss a second of this doc. WELL DONE.
LOL Michael, that is the power of the Stones. I do the same! it is moving for sure! I heard this comment before, a very high compliment, and love it!! Thank you
@@FlipSideCT Lol, don’t interrupt me, I’m still tryna finish watching it while playing along on my guitar:) What’s crazy is.., I’m 52, I’ve been obsessed with, researching, collecting and archiving The Stones (as well as The Who, Beach Boys..., Sabbath..., ) researching these bands since I was 9-10 years old.?? I now consider myself an expert (The Who first, Stones 2nd...).., where I can recite from memory facts, dates and histories of these bands better than I can recall events from my own life. You’re documentary series(s) on The Stones are the first I’ve watched in 10-20? years that have so much “new” to offer as far as marrying period correct vintage footage (I thought I’d seen it all) with factually correct “deep” info as opposed to the ‘gloss and hype’ docs that are all the rage. You’re editing is superb, you’re narrative approach is calming and engaging, allowing the story to breathe as well as allowing the viewer to ‘mentally’ participate instead of feeling as if he’s being lectured..., you’re sound levels are spot on as well. I would do something like this for The Who if I had your skills..., sadly you’ve set the bar too high. Can’t imagine the time, work and effort involved. Short version is I’ve seen every commercially available and homemade doc on this band since I was a little boy..., and you’re producing award winners for fans like me that just NEED TO KNOW things like..., ‘Oh.., OK so Keef used Mcawber on 5th ave in 1975.., whew’ . Thanks
@@michaelr4063 @Michael R lol.....nice comments and sharing! so you are RnR geeky, and love to turn folks on to music and info, and so tired of the crap that people have put out there. Sounds like me....yup. Know it! I would love to see a Who version like this. that would be great. I have thought of doing a live class on how to approach and make these docs. the main ingredient is getting a timeline down of the events, and "a fan" is the one to do it. I am not fortunate of a good memory.....but like you said, some of the facts just sticks. Like I can ridiculously remember where I bought my vinyl records. cheers, oh, yea, I was shocked Keith brought out Macawber in the rainy weather.
Wow I just came upon this doc. I'm 28 been a MASSIVE fan since age 13 when the movie The Departed came out and Gimme Shelter is playing over Jack Nicholson's opening monologue. Black and Black was and album that I got into later, but the cover always stuck with me. I sincerely hope you make more of these docs on their other albums. Black and Blue is such an uncommon album to find such a comprehensive doc on. Keep it up PLEEAAAAAAAZzzzzz!!!!
cool response, and glad you are a fan. This is made by a fan for the fan, so you totally get it. appreciate you letting me know. It all about the turn on here and sharing of information. I am in process of PT3 now...it is over 1.5 hours long and still another 45 min left. WE will see where this goes. Hopefully you check out the other docs I have on my channel. cheers
I SAW THEM THE SAME YEAR AUX ABATTOIRS DE LA VILLETTE ( PARIS ) IT WAS REALLY FAN TA STIC !!!!!!
you have one experience Ivan, not many can say they had. That was so memorable! thanks for sharing.
I BET THAT CHANGED YOUR LIVE FOREVER!
Hey there Steve. I really wanted to compliment you properly on this part two. I wanted to do so without my usual longwinded comment. I came up with this. In the last forty five years plus I have never seen a video on the Stones that was this detailed. You should be proud of yourself. The info that you provided was so darn entertaining. The way that you matched up the info with the photos was top notch. Lets not forget about the editing. The three of them together was first rate to the highest power. Wonderful job Steve. Cannot wait for part three~
Rob/Boston
Hi Rob.....thank you. As I say, I got a bit tired seeing and hearing docs that just do not represent them. correctly. Thankfully I can use my skills to pull it all together. To your point, it is very time consuming to try to match the dialogue to the photo. Sometimes I just have no luck in finding one, and got to be creative. As a little note, any ZEP I show is a tribute to you! cheers my friend!
Yep.
This content is amazing! Black and blue is a criminally under appreciated and I adore that record! Loved this channel and your content!
Totally agree with everything you said. Love Black and Blue. This channel is a gem for Stones fans.
@@SuperStrik9 thank you both!! appreciated. I thought the Black Crowes were going in this direction early in their career, but they missed the boat. oh yea......I love showing and talking about the "not popular" music......we fans ride a different car then the others, it is the true fans that know the how great they are especially these albums. cheers
@@FlipSideCT First 2 Black Crowes albums are great. Songs like Remedy are pure Stones influence. After lead guitarist Marc Ford left the band in the mid 90s I thought their music went downhill. Though that live album they did with Jimmy Page is pretty good. Granted it's more Led Zeppelin than Black Crowes. Another band that blew it was Guns N Roses imo. It goes to show how special a band like the Stones really are.
@@SuperStrik9 Rich Robinson did do some recovery with Magpie. I still bought Chris Robinson Brotherhood albums though, and like the sound there, esp with Neal Casal. I am an Izzy S. fan, not much of the others.
@@FlipSideCT Izzy's cool. You can see the Stones/Keith influence in him. Been watching all of your Stones vids and I really appreciate all the work and effort you put into them. The amount of detail is tremendous.
The research you do is top level ... Wayne said in a Guitar Player magazine article in the 70s ('77??), that it was Keith who wanted to stay all English. I'm sure you could find it with your level of research acumen.
This was a great album. Ive come to like more over the years. But if you grew up with the Stones, it was a real diversion from what you came to expect. Memory Motel is a great tune and I remember listening to it over and over on an 8-track on the way back from the Jersey shore, lamenting a girl I met on our last night there. I can still conjure up that feeling 46 years later, that is a testament to how great a song that is. That said, I offer up this unpleasant opinion:
Unpopular take ~ Leave now if you do not want to be offended!! Ron Wood was the wrong person to choose. It seemed Mick Taylor inspired Keith to aspire higher. When Ron Wood came, I feel he knew he reached the highest he could ever go, and had no impetus to play like he did with the Faces. He lost his drive. He did not play with the intensity of the Faces, and became a cartoon character of Keith. Both of them relished in the new lowered standards and the music suffered. There are clips of Ronnie staggering around on stage, so drunk, he can barely stand up. I feel they went from musicians who did drugs, to druggies who did music. They never got the intensity or musicianship of the Taylor era, back. Maybe they just ran out of material, who knows, but the new era Stones was a very different entity than the previous one. I saw them a few times in the 70s, and I feel '78 tour was shutting the door on that era. This is the new Stones. Despite that, they will always be my absolute go-to band for any occasion. We'll never see this again.
thanks for commenting LW. I did mention that about 'staying english', and is something Keith would say. A great album for sure, and why I had to push it more as there are so many claimed Stones fan that do not get it. They gave us great memories and we can recall places and smells when we heard the songs over and over again.
Everyone has there points on the Stones.....but, I will say there is nothing I dislike.
The era's are surely different and the 3 guitarists of Brian/Mick/Ron had their contributions in so many ways. We surely hear the sounds change and drift into different directions.
I prefer to listen mostly to post 68' , still listen to any. No problem with your opinions or feelings, as long as we all can say "the greatest rock and roll band ever" we are all in sync. cheers

What do you call the _'Mick Taylor era'?_
The Stones made many R&R and Pop tunes from '64-'67.
For the next two years ('68-'69):
*They took over the world!*
There was practically no Mick Taylor
(or Brian Jones) during that period.
'Beggar's Banquet', 'Let It Bleed', & 'TTPD' (more than just a 'greatest hits').
This is what I call: *The Keith Richard Era!*
(& Jagger, of course!)
*Post-Mick Taylor:*
Great songs (Healthy assist: Ron Wood):
-'It's Only Rock & Roll'(co write/guitar erased)
- 'Hot Stuff'
-'Hey Negrita'
-'El Macambo '77' set (from 'Love You Live')
-'Miss You'
-'Beast Of Burden'
-'Shattered'
-'She's So Cold'
-'Start Me Up'
-'Heaven'
-'Undercover Of The Night'
-'She Was Hot'
-'Too Much Blood'
-'Pretty Beat Up'
-'One Hit (To The Body)'
-'Mixed Emotions'
-'Love Is Strong'
-'Flip The Switch'
-'Rough Justice'
Not sure if I could live w/o these songs.
*Wouldn't wanna try!*
Peace. Stay Healthy!
- Dave B.
I heard Jagger comment about being an English band. Funny about Keith, since his family is from Wales.
This is the ultimate approach for the Stones fan/admirer and lover. Never saw a rockumentary done with a compassion even close to this work. Literally incredible. Can't find the right words to express my appreciation. Thanks friend
Well said Peter. I agree, as I watched it myself as a fan. This is what WE all want and need. I was tired of people repeating the same subjects and just not grabbing the audience. Appreciated that you got me delivery here! Hopefully you watch the others I have. cheers
@@FlipSideCT sure I did watch the whole series. And will watch them all again. still amazed by your dedicated work. rocks off and roll on. Cheers
I’m not a fan of everything the RS have done, but your series of videos is the most comprehensive review of their work I have seen. The research and attention to detail is impressive, and your passion for the entire enterprise shines through it all.
thank you GA for your honesty and time to comment. I am glad you sat thru it and absorbed.....I wonder how my attention would be for something similar for another band. Then again, I feel I did go above and beyond to make it enjoyable. thanks !!
My bad this is before the 81 tour (da) this all about 75 . Feel like a ah◇}€ , SORRY
This is another masterpiece. Just when you think you know it all, you learn something new. Unbelievable. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication. In this crazy world today, It's nice to have an escape for a little while. 🎵🎸🎶🎹🎵🎺🎤🎧🎷🎹
thank you Edgar, some very kind comments. agreed, it does relief our stressful time. I totally agree!!
The Glimmer Twins should thank you for all you do ! Thank you for re igniting the beginnings and bringing the greatness into fine focus !!
maybe one day they will get word of it, as I know they like it when fans go all out. But I do not expect it, and just make it for us. Really glad that you are appreciating the intention here! nice!!
I've come to the conclusion that the familial atmosphere and structure surrounding the band contributed mightily to Keith surviving his excesses. He had a lot of people watching out for him. Many of his peers weren't so fortunate.
good point, and yes agreed. Then again.....Keith's sources for drugs were top notch and he only had the best, except for a few dog shit batches when he was desperate. But yes, he had folks around him that cared.
Great video as always. Black and Blue has to be the most underrated album by The Rolling Stones. Like the previous 5 with Mick Taylor I never skip any tracks on it, unlike the ones released afterwards
Yes MB, you do get it. cool. However, as the melodic playing of Taylor were lost, they still brought on brilliance in their new sounds. Side 2 of Tattoo You is just like no other, even songs on Emotional Rescue. Post 82', they have a real change in their sound that we all hear, and it did not fair with many fans.
@@FlipSideCT Yeah, Tattoo You is perfect and exceptional
I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)!
@Marcelo B
@FlipSideCT
I *implore you* (die-hard Stones fans) to re-visit 'Voodoo Lounge'.
- *'Emotional Rescue':* It _'is-what-it-is'._
- *'Tatoo You':* Universally worshipped.
- *'Undercover':* File under _'Strange'._
I personally dug it. But, I can see
where others may not.
- *'Dirty Work':* It _'is-what-it-is'._
- *'Steel Wheels':* Good album. A few great
songs. But, (most importantly) a
_'re-birth moment'_ that assured
fans they weren't DEAD YET!
- *'Voodoo Lounge':* (see below)
- *'Bridges To Babylon':* Good album. A
few great songs. I personally dug it.
But, I can see where others may not.
- *'A Bigger Bang':* Good album.
A few great songs.
- *'Blue & Lonesome':*
As _'rock-star-Blues-homage'_ albums go.
(think Johnny Winter/Canned Heat/
Aerosmith), this one's right up there.
After all; They WERE part of the original
(British) _'blues-boy'_ scene.
So, guzzle a beer/crack another/hit the doobie/light a candle & (re)listen to 'Voodoo Lounge' in reverse order.
- Skip the last (#15) song.
- Start w/#14 (a _'Keef-song'_ ).
- and move your way up.
*You won't regret it!*
Peace. Stay Healthy!
- Dave B.
@@jellobiafra2810 nice breakdown Dave. From what I can remember, hearing STONES albums for the first times...it always took many listens to get into it and absorb. I believe from Steels Wheels on, many folks have NOT given deep deep listens. I am included. My issue is the Lyrics are very lame and Mick is trying to hard on some songs. It is forced and not from his gut! However I know how good Voodoo is, and best of that bunch. I still need Blue & Lone....and have not heard it. I did not want covers, was / is my reason. I do look forward to it now lol, BLUES BOY! thanks for the recommendations.
@@jellobiafra2810 Ok, will re-listen to Voodoo Lounge that way. I stopped buying Stones albums after Dirty Works
First time I saw them London in 76. My friend and I had rubbish seats but noticed empty seats close to the stage and decided to try our luck and were able to blag it for an hour before being ousted.
About 5 minutes later Jagger shouted "Aw let's loosen up the effing security in here" and there was a stage rush we included.
What a memory!
oh yes!! cool to have seen that Earls court show, wow! How many times did we have to exit quickly as the guard was approaching us....can't do it now, as everyone sits and there is no chaos now like it was then. thanks for sharing this.
Glad you appreciate my anectode...and yes...I do miss the chaos
@@FlipSideCT So you're an Englishman?
@@NewarkBay357 I believe Allan is!!
again , nice ! I learned some more , like the details , good job , still I wish you much more vieuws ! and likes , greats from Amsterdam !
thanks again. !! glad you enjoyed. and agree on the views.
Steve......THANK YOU. Simple as that.
YW TM....glad you enjoyed it! great when fans join in together and talk Stones!!
Loving this wonderful documentary on my fav' Stones album..So much info...Superb, 'CT!
Well, it is intended for the Stones fan like yourself, and to share and enjoy it together. To much negative on this album, so I am doing my best to squelch doubters and educate some that do not understand it. cheers
@@FlipSideCT I was 15 when this album came out in '76..I read the album review by Barbara Cherone in 'Sounds' music weekly paper and bought the LP..I've never looked back..I was born in Dartford (same hospital as Mick) and lived in the area all my life..I'm a Stones 'diehard', like yourself!..Roll on Pt.3!
Awesome job, I wish the Stones would produce such in depth documentaries on their music. Lol..
Also, . I think it’s Keith not Ronnie playing bass live on fingerprint file.
Thanks SMS, I am open for offers! don't mind giving direction to them. You might want to check that Bass playing info.
Thank you for your dedication and attention to detail. Very interesting and entertaining. All of it
Glad you enjoyed it! thanks Mike....got tired of repetitive BS and folks that do not know what the fans needed.
Steve , always thought 75 was the Only rock n roll album tour, but it seems they were more immersed in the black and blue stuff, and promoting
really enjoyed both of these, i look forward to part 3
thanks Colin!! PT3 is work in progress
Cant say nothing............SAD............ He has been a member of my "family" since 1975....RIP - LOVE! Crying.......
yes Roy....we feel it. Wish he could just go on.....a lump in the throat! we all feel a bit lost!
Another example of your brilliant work - thank you Steve. Warm regards, Dave
Many thanks! so kind TY!! It really makes me drive more....as I have my pile of papers and working on PT3. thanks Dave!!
Don't know who you are but I will tell you thank you for the videos, I just dig the inside information about the Greatest Rock and Roll Band of the 60s, 70s 80s 90s 2000s and on and on, your the best but The Stones Are Better!!!!
Thanks Wayne....if you search my channel for other videos you will see I am a Vinyl record collector and RnR listener. I share information on what I know and find. Thank you for your comments. hopefully you check out my other docs. cheers
@@FlipSideCT Are the Rolling Stones the greatest rock band in the world in your opinion? I think your work is ample evidence of that notion.
@@NewarkBay357 Thank PM very much and being part of this campaign. There are plenty of doubters and plenty of negativity towards this album and them....I had enough it. thanks!!
@@NewarkBay357

One of the many hats Steve wears is:
'Rock Scribe!'
So, he has to display a certain... _'objectivity'._ (distance?)
But, I'm sure he thinks The Rolling Stones were *The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World!*
Peace. Stay Healthy!
- Dave B.
Hand of fate is one of my favorite songs of the stones. The great Harvey Mandel is on that song
a great RnR riff, and exceptional leads by Harvey.
The Metamorphosis album is a good album, Downtown Susie, Jiving Sister Fanny. Memo from Turner, Walking thru the sleepy city. Yea I guess they could have maybe left one or 2 songs off, But the beauty of the album is hearing the Band working in the studio which is so rare. How many albums come out now and the dam thing only has one or maybe 2 good songs on it, And its considered a a hit album. Nice Job on this 3 part Documentary of Black and Blue.
thanks Richard and for sharing. We love to hear the jams and outtakes and diff versions to get a glimpse of how they progress. There is so much out there. I have some real nice ones to listen to for my next Some Girls. But yes, Metamorph....is a treasure for us!
AND OUT OF TIME . THE BEST VERSION !!!!
@@ivanbroussdelattre2543 got to listen to that again! one hell of a song!
Don´t forget aka ¨I Don´t Why¨!
@@richardgarciaiii2246 oh yes! very off beat song that is such a treat for the Stones head!
Hi Steve. Just finished watching this about 90 minutes ago. Have to say.. Remarkable. The amount of detail and well.. Just.. Information you have.. That I never was aware of previously in regard of the Stones. It took me a couple hours to watch this. As often I did rewind back 30 seconds or so just to get certain things that you were conveying. I appreciate all the time and energy and effort you put into this.. And thanks so much. This is so well done. Once again your pacing is ideal so the information/story telling can be absorbed. It's terrific.
Great comments, yes it is about me, but more to the fact that YOU understand what I am about and my delivery and content and pacing and editing. All done with purpose and for reason. Did not want anything fast paced, but to allow you to absorb. Rewinding is good, I do that plenty also. I had a handful of basher/posers complain how boring it was, but I slammed them hard and removed them, as they totally do not get it! but you did...TY. check out the others if you have not. cheers and thanks again MCM!
@@FlipSideCT Ok.. So this has been on my mind somewhat on and off. When I say I had to rewind back a bit(I did say often) I meant sometimes. Some times when you mention Keith or Mick or Ronnie my mind will wander off on a tangent for 10 seconds or so.. Then I'll be like.. Ohh I better rewind back because my mind just wandered off. I got what you said clearly.. But just need to rewind back 10 seconds to get it again.
Screams HS driving around to this 8 track. In a Firebird of course 76
oh yes....know that feeling in NJ.
What an excellent insight into this time period of the Rolling Stones - well done, my friend. I cannot wait for Part 3. I must confess that I purchased the vinyl Black and Blue album twice because I wore out the first copy from over-playing. I immediately recorded the second one to tape and tucked it away for safe keeping and posterity!
thanks Roubiac for sharing. appreciate it! Pt 3 will be a bit, going thru major timing issues. Cool that you get B&B and overplayed...the way it should be!
Awesome research you should be a professor of rock music and you are classic rock bands!Me and my wife love the stones we seen in Chicago for the 2019 no filter tour we sang every song and danced all night!
thank you Guy, it is great to see your comment. That is very cool you got to experience it with your wife, and share that moment. I have explicit memories with mine at a Keith show in Boston and Stones with Steel Wheels. I am so glad I took her. cheers
F$&king AWESOME, Fantastic!!!
Thanks a lot Paul. glad you clicked with me here.....I made it for the fan from a fan.
so much debauchery and yet magnificent music created. Take note Aerosmith who's music deteriorated, for me at least, when Perry and Tyler got 'straight'. Yet again Steve a superb and very professional sounding video that showcases your love for the band...many congrats!
Thank you again Sir BS. As we know those early 70's bands emulated them and followed the model. Was Drugs the "key" for creativity? The 70's were above and beyond with music......I believe it did impact the industry. We would smoke and love to get creative doing so. thanks for all!!
There's definitely something to be said about drugs and creativity. They can definitely open creative avenues you may have not explored otherwise. It only becomes a problem when the drugs start to become more important than the music and the band.
I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)!
*Yup!* It's there alright!
Dope/Creativity. The Hard Stuff (not coke).
The problem is: Artists who survive & come out the other side tend to play it down.
Not Keith Richards though:

Another great entertaining look at my favorite group:)
ahhhh you are catching up.....nice. check out the other docs I have.
@@FlipSideCT I am! Thanks for all your work. I love ❤ your videos:)
Thanks Steve, great to see what was going on in my hometown at the time! I really enjoyed watching parts 1 and 2, hopefully part 3 is coming soon! I recently bought the 2 cd+dvd set 'L.A. Forum' after seeing your documentary!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Greetings from Rotterdam,

Hey Rick!! Ik hoop dat het goed met je gaat en geniet van het leven! Glad you watched.....I love Holland, and would visit anytime! Pt3 is Work in progress, taking some downtime and moving slow. So cool you got the LA FORUM, It is just magical.....listen with headphones cranked!!! IT is so good! thanks for all steve
To me that I probably mentioned before was the first time I heard " Hey Nagrita" . This song hit me like a ton of Stones. Regie ,blues,jazz ,R n B and a F of a lot of Rock n roll with no abandon .. No song has ever had that ever since . 😎
I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)!
*YES!* (re: 'Hey Negrita')
My personal fav from 'B&B'.
Those seeking Woody's (Stones) brilliance ala Faces/R.Stewart need look no further.
Yea, he probably shoud've received songwriting credit (Glimmer Twins snub again).
To his credit; I don't hear HIM complainin'!
Peace. Stay Healthy!
- Dave B.
Yes indeed. I will be breaking it down in PT3, and try to spoon feed doubters and those that just do not get it. Will see!
@@FlipSideCT It was definitely a very interesting time for the Stones and thier fans . I'm not I'm a fan ,as being fanatical . I think I just have a lot of respect for thier endurance and them as much a great team as well a great band. The timing prior to Black n Blue risked many of their hardcore and dedicated follower's and change wasn't easy for them and I don't disrespect them for being irritated,but it had to happen. The LP " Some girls " also irritated many because of "Disco " and "Punk " influenced songs . I was into " Punk " prior and at my age many condemned the Stones for that also. I was the opposite and was willing to walk away if they didn't stay current . I was thrilled again and probably defended that LP as much as Black n blue" . Thanks for opening this up for discussion . On my list if stranded with only one LP to play Black n blue has always been at the top of the list . 😎
@@FantomWireBrian appreciated the comments...well taken. They just did not want to be like other bands who kept their same model and sound. I feel, their 90's+ albums were more risk then the earlier....I do not think new fans joined the army for those albums.
@@FlipSideCT You hit that right on . Too many bands played it safe an even did that burning Disco LPs thing. Tom Petty was very outspoken at that time condemning Disco .To me not much different than censorship. Tom was a very talented guy and I saw him live ,but I did lose some respect for him . It was ironic that he himself was censored on one of his tunes. You mentioned how the Stones took risks and as in music and life that's very appealing to me . Probably why the Stones during that time were considered " The most dangerous band in Rock n Roll " 😜❗

*Lavish Praise! Lavish Praise!*
(I'm starting to feel redundant.)
I knew 'B&B' would be a good story;
But: THIS(!?!) *AMAZING!*
Excellent stuff. Half of it wasn't even known by this _'know-it-all'_ Stones fan(atic).
It's _'even-money'_ The Stones are watching *YOU* at this point. *"Don't drop the ball!"* _LoL~°_
*1975:* Saw them twice (Clev. & Det.)
At Cleveland Stadium; Me & John were bringing in a cooler with 2 cases of beer.
My plan was to bribe security with $5.
It didn't work ( _shoulda used a $20_ ).
While they're removing our beer; John asked if we could sell it to the folks outside the fence.
Security said: "Yeah, go ahead."
_(it was a lotta beer!)._
While doing the deal, I noticed security wasn't watching us anymore.
So, we *'likety-split'* with about 1 1/2 cases *still left!* Remember: This was in the _'No-Alcohol-Sold'_ days.
We enjoyed a very hot afternoon as the only ones among 80k+ who had beer!
(When we were walking around) People would offer us a dollar for _"..whatever's left in the can."_
"No way, man!"
We DID share with our neighbors though.
Then, The J. Geils Band did their set, which was met with apathy from the crowd. 😥
Us ( _Dee-troiter's_ ) felt personally insulted!
"Ok, Ok. This is a Stones crowd." (we said).
At dusk: The *(REALLY LOUD)* open-chord riff of 'Honky Tonk Women' started.......
Peace. Stay Healthy!

what a memory....just love it! cool you got to see this tour, twice. I can not even imagine the real experience. Those cold beers......it was more then for the buzz, but for pure thirst. I remember at JFK Mick drinking a Becks on that hot day, and my friend and I looked at each other and just wished we had a sip. thanks for all my dear friend!! steve

You do a great job on these documentaries.
Glad you like them Erik!! thank you very telling me
love your videos fantastic job friend
thank you Bronson for the comments....glad you enjoyed this and jumped on! checking out the others also!
Incredible work, so thoroughly comprehensive.
Thank you LE, so appreciative you commenting and letting me know. That tells me you got RnR in your blood for sure. Glad you get my delivery here, as that is the toughest part to get across to folks. Everyone interprets things so differently, so glad you get it! hopefully you checked out the other docs I have... cheers steve
I love The Stones
we know the feeling!
Absolutely love your work as always. And appreciate so much the countless hours you put into these projects.
Cheers all the way from Australia 🙂
Carl, so appreciated that you appreciate it! Makes me smile. TY. I am trying to rev it up to start with PT3.
I'm 59 and still a big Rolling Stones Fan They never get old and better with age like the most expensive wine that I still can't afford Love them all.
that is what made them so special. They did not stay with the same riff same song structure model like other bands I dare not name. They were just born creative! We can not get tired of them!! not a Stones fan at least.
Thank you Steve for this amazing research and for articulating a real story about how their lives, the tours and the creative process are so intertwined. Just visited the amazing museum exhibition about the band, currently in the Marseille stadium. Unbelievable how B&B is ignored in the whole thing even though it is such a turn in their music and career. Can’t wait for 3/3. Congratulations.
Thank you for the comments.....well appreciated. Very cool that you got to see the exhibition. It is something every fan should be able to see. I did see it in NYC and did a small documentary on it. A great time for them in 75' and many folks just can not grasp the greatness of this album. thanks for all
As a bass-player I have always fancy, in my dreams, to play with Stones.
When training, in the early days at home, I always preferred to play to Let It Bleed.
Even though I am a Beatle fan all the way, I always prefer to play with The Stones.
That’s my dream. Jumping Jack Flush.
When playing that the roof lifted like a lid of above the stage.
It’s sad Richards and the world never got to hear that.
But, I’ve heard it. And what a great reaction. No one knows what was going on.
Art is never accepted as it is when you give it to the once who don’t understand.
nice PFK.....thanks for sharing.....a good dream to have. Like you many of us would jam to them...Love You Live was a personal favorite.....putting on a headset and feeling like I was on stage with them as a teen until now is still a buzz....so I get it! Good last comment!! Too many critics and too many folks that can not be out of the box and not want change. Check out my video on DA DA and The Man....PT1 and Pt2 with Brian Eno.
so frikkin cool Steve. This just keeps getting better. Such great content and info. Truly amazing and what a great talent and SUPER FAN you are! I really hope that someone picks up on this and hires you to get this out there. thanks for opening this up to the world and getting The Stones back up and noticed. Loved the LAID IN THE SHADE story and the ending shot at the end. brilliance!!!!!
thank you great comments, really! glad you were in tune with this and picked up on what I delivered. maybe one day I will get that call! cheers
◾ Fascinating ❗
thanks again! a lot went on, great album, tour and happenings!!
Steve, thank you so much for this incredible documentary. I love all the insight, especially the details on the guitars and instruments everybody was playing at that time. Just magical, keep up the great work. Has part three come out yet? Can’t wait to see it.
YW Michael, appreciated you commenting and letting me know. A doc the way I wanted to see it! PT3 will be some time, I am taking a break right now and listening to my vinyl. cheers
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you
Thanks Bobby, makes my day! appreciate you letting me know you got this! From a fan for a fan.
Hi Steve from Wales. Another great video. A lot of information I did not know. Remember the photo of them playing on the flat bed truck. It was my 21st birthday. Looking forward to part three. Thanks for all the effort.
TY SL....glad you got more info out of this! A nice memory with the Flatbed. YW!
Just like Parts 1 and 3, Part 2 is outstanding work and presentation. Thanks for sharing your obviously long hard work and dedication!
thank you again. so glad you are watching and letting me know. so many hours but a passion!
Update on #3
nothing yet, going thru some major timing issues that are distracting. Will post a vinyl vid soon though with update.
@@FlipSideCT love your work sir
@@jamiecamarillo1995 thanks Jamie, appreciate you letting me know, and cool that you appreciate my delivery. cheers
@@FlipSideCT do you think Ron wood was best pick to replaced MT in my opinion he jus bought little buddy appeal your opinion i will respect it thank yuo
@@jamiecamarillo1995 Many folks feel he was brought in as a little buddy/good guy. They fist off needed an English guitarist. I think he was perfect. The Faces sound is so close to the Stones. The chemistry was so important, and Keith felt it, especially jamming with him in 74', many times. Ronnie is an exceptional guitarist, but not the straight lead melodic player as MT. So the sound surely changed. He was to be a role player,but to add his style. I can not think of any other player that would match what they needed.
At 26:16 is where you can see the star shaped stage the was revolving , this was on making on Black & Blue part 2. That you so much for all you effort an knowledge & getting ever little detail on this subject. If I wasn't a disabled welder. In my hay day I was bringing a little over $2,200 for welding Aluminum , stainless , & mild steel to make the tractor trailer kitchens for the Olympics in Georgia . I was learning how to weld at 15 & started my first at 17 . This was in 81 when I graduated. I think we are the same age. You texted me that your first Stones concert was in 81.
More then likely at a outdoor arena, because you didn't know about the revolving stage. Thank you kindly , Kevin
a pleasure!
Thanks for doing the 3 part series. Black & Blue is special, it has a groove and vibe that resonates with me. Brilliant documentary!
thanks Brian....cool that you recognize the brilliance of B&B.....trying to get others to figure it out!!
Hi, I don't see part 3. Did you take it down?
@@PF-qp8km need to read the description. Pt3 is not out yet
@@FlipSideCT Ok thanks! - Well looking forward to yet
Steve: One of the amazing things about youtube is the wealth of well produced videos I stumble on and you are fabulous!!! Great personal memories and in depth stories. i'll be hanging with you for a month to play catch up! Well done, from a guy who first heard the Stones in 1964. .
Hey Dennis great to hear that! I know how much us Stones fans need(ed) something in depth and real, and to walk away from learning something. Glad you found it! Seeing them in 64' is amazing and something not many can say, even if it was screaming teeny girls screaming. Enjoy these and I am trying to keep it going. I am working on Beggars PT2 now, and this one is fun and full of info. thanks for sharing!!
They got it back together in the '78 tour. Watch some footage from Live at Ft. Worth. Keith is on fire!
Cheers from 🇦🇺
@@duketomlinson3270 oh yes....another rockin world tour then also, and the energy was great.
They never lost it dave 😉
@@joeyoconnor3039 No Joey but they were drug addled in the mid-70's and it hurt their live performances then
@@DaveGoldShow to me it just expounded on their performance, especially mick he was a lunatic lol all over the place on that Merck coke😅
I'm happy that Ronnie got the Job! Black and blue is a good Album! Sad, i never heard hot stuff live, even i was on so many Stones concerts! Just heard IT one time in a Soundcheck. Thanx for your work man! Thanx to the Stones and Greets to all kindly fans! Aaron
Thank you Aaron for sharing. Ronnie was made for it! Hot Stuff would be great to hear live, at least we have it in our archives. Thank you for your comments, and glad you are on board! appreciated. steve
This is a wonderful video. I have to disagree with you though about the transformation of Mick Jagger's stage act. In the late 70s it was okay. But it really became obnoxious. And he started to overdo the inflection of his voice.
thanks Kevin for sharing and commenting! That is fine to disagree. I am a no frills old school. He got carried away with some of it, and forgot that this RnR. So you also do agree. His free form dancing is not what I pay for. I will also throw in, it is he who adds in the stage props....I do not need to see another blow up doll ever again. I do go a bit hard in PT3 on him, and I feel deservingly so. But please know again, Keith was 95% RnR music, Mick was a business ART DIRECTOR machine, and lost it! However, with all this said, I will Cover My Ass and say I will still take any of it any time!
@@FlipSideCT I shall cover mine too! I would take any of it all day any day!
"Obnoxious" and "Jagger" in the same sentence isn't possible...

When is part 3 coming out?
ahhh you did not watch my other video from a few weeks ago. ...working on it now....time is needed! but it is moving.
Hello Steve. I discovered your incredible work yesterday and listened to the making of Black and Blue, Part 1. I am now half-way through Part 2. I just had to stop to say how extraordinary these documentaries are. Hell, I love the Stones so that is a give but the insight you provide here just puts everything on another level. I particularly have enjoyed listening to how the Stone replaced the awesome Mick Taylor with the amazing Ronnie Wood, via a who's who of superb guitar players. Have just watched the part about Freddie Sessler and Keith and Ronnie catching up whilst they were out on Long Island. I know it's naughty but my God, I would not of minded coming along on that trip hee, hee. I just want to thank you for the effort put into this work - it has given me a hellava lot of pleasure listening to all this. I cannot wait to to hear your take on 'Let it Bleed' and 'Goats Head Soup' etc. Thanks again for the effort put in here. I shall pass on your link to those I know who will appreciate such work. Tim.
So nice to see this Tim! Thank you, and I love hearing it, as Stones fans we love to share and learn! It is all about the turn on, and fantastic when I see the Stones Heads like yourself get my objective and delivery here. It is all strategically done and presented. Don't forget IORR also! thanks for all! cheers Steve
Losing Charlie is like losing a piece of history and family . These guys have defied time and tide for decades. A quiet gentleman RIP Charlie .
correct.....it will not be the same...even losing Bill changed their studio sound. But we still go with what we got. A reason they are called the greatest! thanks for commenting
I think the '75 tour is underrated. They were fantastic. Driving, raw, but looser than '72.
yes indeed, 75 tour was fabulous. The Ronnie tours seems looser, as he was so much more informal and vibrant then Taylor in STP tour. Which may the best tour in my eyes musically and Stones performance. As a note and a heads up. I am going to be working on the STP Tour documentary that will be given to the Donators only....or...at least months before to the public.
@@FlipSideCT Can I donate now or do I need to wait till its ready to see it?
@@captainkirk70 Only my list of the Donators will get to see it. When / what ever you decide is up to you in timing. I will not be done with completion of that project until maybe December.
@@FlipSideCT Cool. I sent you a couple of demos on Facebook messenger. Good songs but just demos.
these are so damn good Steve your cutting into my listening time lol.Keep up the great job love these
lol....that is good!! thanks for sharing and letting me know. I surely want to please and share. I know the missing of listening of music....this research takes so much of my time...I am not able to listen much. cheers
Keith played bass on Fingerprint File...
if you are talking Live in 75', Ronnie did a nice job playing it.

Charlie's hair looked fine there, nowhere near Chuch McGee baldness level. I think he had a couple more years of rock n roll hair in him!
Charlie was pure sophistication and do no wrong!
I'm so appreciative of all the hard work, the extensive research & time you put into these videos. It is so important to my education - I even watch them multiple times. It broadens the depth in how I listen to the music. It's obvious
that it's a labor of love for you. I thank you so much. 😻
A real pleasure Meg, and I thank you for sharing this with me. Glad to see you appreciate it all. As I mention from a fan for the fan. Exile is being worked on now, and is very deep! thanks
Fantastic project. Love how you’ve put this together. Great job. And thank you!!

God damn , Hey , Negrita, is so rocking, I appreciate it more now than ever.
cool to see you appreciating it more. Pure brilliance that goes unnoticed by many!!
Ronnie Wood didn’t become a full member until the 90’s?
right.
A second hand story from former Asst GM of the NY Islanders: he told me the Stones rented Nassau Coliseum (between 84-91 not sure when exactly) for a week or so of rehearsals before a tour. He said, no one was allowed to even be in the Arena while they practiced but the Islanders equipment managers snuck into a long rehearsal one day with a case of beer. He said, they tried being quiet at first but soon got drunk and they began cheering. So the Stones turned up the lights and saw the two trainers smashed to the gills
thanks for sharing! sounds like an innocent time that surely could have occurred!
Thanks for this documentation of Black and Blue. My favorite album.sandy
a pleasure Sandy. I thank you for commenting and support. A huge fan, and made these for the fans. Hope you enjoy all the others!!
My brother got an audition for bassist after Bill Wyman left. He didn't get the gig, but he did spend the day playing with the Stones in New York. He said Ronny was welcoming and a really nice guy. I appreciate the work you put into this series.

I’m on to Pt. 3 now. I’m 1000% enjoying this homemade doc. I know you did your homework. Especially on their guitars, basses and amps. I’m familiar with Ampeg SVT and Acoustic 360 amps. I was told years ago the SVT moniker stood for Super Valve Technology. I’m not fully sure that’s accurate compared to your description here in this film. No matter. How can I email you, if you’d of course agree to?
nice, and glad you can dig the details. There is a great book called Rolling Stones Gear by Greg Prevost, of the great band The Chesterfield Kings. But I believe I got more info from Ampeg themselves for more details. I do not want to go and research again, as I can not retain all of this. YT does not message any more, I can only give you my secondary email, but let me know if you send something. I will delete this also from this comment stevecraigslist@juno.com
I stumbled upon your videos today looking for a Rolling Stones documentary, and by god I’m glad I did. 1975-77 is one of my favorite periods of the band, and these first 2 parts are doing them justice! I hope you do a doc on Emotional Resuce and Tattoo You!
Hey David, thanks for comments and I appreciate it! So glad to share with other Stones Heads who get it and click with me....a real pleasure! Every one is on the same plane as a fan.....as we just dig the RnR they give us! hopefully you will watch the other docs! PT3 is in process...takes some time! cheers Want to do Tattoo You, the new one comes out very soon....Emotional is one also to do!

My pleasure! thanks Adrian! in some time....still need a break! hopefully you will check out the other docs if you have not yet. cheers steve
Thank you so much for this labor of love!
I saw the Ft. Collins CO show, where Elton John infamously got up to play a song, and overstayed his welcome.
Rufus and Charlie Daniels opened the show. Elton was in CO to record at Caribou Ranch Studio high in the Rockies, and you could tell Keith was annoyed when he came onstage. The Stones played great! We were loving Ian Stewart's playing - because he played all the old parts we were familiar with, and we loved Billy Preston because his stage presence and playing are so magnetic... but Elton's playing style was just wrong - trying to show-off, he didn't fit in the groove. We were excited when Metamorphosis and Made in the Shade hit, and just loving every second of It's Only Rock and Roll and later Black and Blue when it came out.
VERY COOL Paul.....love it! thanks for sharing. I have PT3 in the making, and Fort Collins is a feature in it. I found some info of someone who taped Mick and Elton talking on the phone prior and wrote the dialog out (not the actual recording). I heard he went all the way to Midnight Rambler.....he did get off for Billy and Ian, but came back on.......I need to hear the boot...Elton did mention and gave the excuse in his memoirs he was coked out. But he asked to join them, they did not ask him. I can remember B&B coming out, that is when I just started my RnR groove. ...76' cheers
As always excellent job very entertaining. And of course your listing of the guitars and amps used by Keith Ronnie and Mick are appreciated. Thank you for the painstaking care you employ in these docs
thank you Franco for your support and being the fan. It is known info in the book Stones Gear that not many folks will look at.
I can't count how many times I have become obsessed and gone down the Stones rabbit hole. I actually thought that there was nothing interesting left for me to know about them. Thanks so much for proving me wrong! Each time I have the pleasure of watching one of your documentaries, I'm amazed at the amount of fun and fascinating things that I've learned or the video footage I've never seen. Seriously, the great documentarian Ken Burns needs to give you a job!
lol....your comments are so well appreciated, and I thank you very much for taking the time to tell me. It makes all my hard work worth while. I know that there is so much more info to learn, and I am surely still learning and reading more. There as so many other Stones geeks out there. I am glad you appreciate the content and format I provided, it is all purposely done. I do not think I am as good as Ken for sure, but that is a real sweet comment! TY Hopefully you watch more docs and vids of mine, as it is all about the "turn on" and sharing of info.

Of all the players they tried, I really wonder what their output would’ve been with Wayne Perkins.
Would be interesting. But you just wonder if it was the perfect storm that occurred for that moment only with him.
Your documentaries just rock! Big Stones fan here, but there is so much detail in your work that I have never heard of. I really like the period from roughly 76-81, lots of good music and important stuff happened. I always liked Black and Blue, too. Thanks!
great to hear, thank you. I am glad to talk Stones with Stones heads. Had to put these together to the word out and teach some how to listen, cheers

Thanks 👍 Neil...I thought I responded to your or if this is a 2nd comment...anyway TY a pleasure to bring unity for all of us across the globe.
I am the biggest Beatle fan really,,,but do love the Stones as well,,,just thought I had to reply because I had watched all 3 docs in a row,n thought you did a bloody great job !!!!
Steve Marriott was too much of a personality, liked the spotlight and would’ve clashed with Mick (and Keith). Hence. I don’t believe it could’ve ever worked. Much the same with all the other considered replacements for MT.
Ronnie fits the bill appropriately with his loose style. He always gets the job done and is reliable. Along with the after hours lifestyle of course. Cheers Steve, another smashing presentation thank you very much indeed. ✌️
OF course Dave.....I do not believe Keith was even at some of these auditions. Marriott was an alpha dog! Ronnie was/is perfecto! A true Stones head sees this. The 81' tour was very sloppy and why he got read the riot act to shape up. Glad you are on board!! working on PT3 now.
Thank you! That was awesome, loved every minute. My favorite picture also - Ronnie and Keith getting "Fired Up" back stage with Chooch and Charlie. Great insight - did not know that they had lines and heroin on the amps during the shows, and lighting guys were fired if they shined a light on it. Really good stuff, thank you for your extraordinary efforts!!! LOVED IT!!!
ahhh Ronnie, you picked up on it....nice!! glad we were in sync here....appreciated! the comments are where my efforts pay off! ty

Not only did we loose the rolling stones drummer today.we lost a great man,a master time-keeper for jazz,rock&roll&theSTONES. A sad day for myself & all of us Fans. - PHILLY DC…..TY steve for letting me post this comment.
Yes DC, he impressed the heck out of me, not just drumming but as a person and no bullshit. I would have loved to had the chance to meet him. But very tough to get close to, private. we all got each other for this! thanks for sharing!!
Keith and Ronnie had many things in common,but music wasn't all of it. I could see that prior to Ronnie joined. Taylor never had those other "Tings " in common. Many " Things " in Rock n roll has nothing to do with music . Wood joined and I never looked back . The Stones were reborn and connected more than ever and it was obvious in " Black n blue " , although many missed it unfortunately. " . The 75 tour was my favorite and again music had nothing to do with it .😜❗
thanks for commenting. Yes, Ronnie gave what he had, and delivered. 75' tour is surely up there. Hope you got something out this doc.
wow..black an blue lp.. that memory motel..great times great song..nevrr 4get my bro coming home after buying 45' mothers little helper' when stones were dressed up in matronly clothing. just grew up with the rolling stones ..enjoy every second of their music! thank you!
a pleasure Patty, thanks for sharing and commenting. The Stones gave so many of us great memories, which is so special. Hope you check out the other docs. cheers
This tour was the first time I saw the Stones in, (I believe 1975) and at the end of 'THE COMMON MAN' Mick coming down that flower petal bouncing forming one leg to the other to the staccato beat of Keef's guitar & Charlie Watt's drumbeat, I've always considered the best Rolling Stones opening in history. I saw this show at Madison Square Garden three times in one week, with the first night being the only show I had pretty good seats for. While the sound certainly has improved greatly, I consider this seeing the Stones in their prime. While our author believes that Mick's trapeze act isn't needed, I considered it breathtaking, and if you read all of the biographies written about the Rolling Stones and Jagger, you would know that this wasn't a trapeze, but a rope exercises that Jagger was made to do by his Physical Education father. To see this death-defying act in person was amazing. If I recall, Jagger only did it the first night, and he was way high over the screaming crowd moving at great speed. It was scary. One slip, and that's the end of Mick. In one of the videos, you can see he has only one foot inside a small hole in the rope, no safety belts or net, and he had to be over 100 feet high over the crowd. Jagger was truly fearless and clearly believed in his athletic ability to pull off this scary stunt uninjured. I loved it!!!
Thank you fore your comments Phillip. Hoping you enjoyed this doc. Cool to have seen them never mind once that tour, but that many. I would say the 72 tours were the ultimate to see and witness, but this was still up there for sure.
I think you missed the whole point here, the Stones do not need this type of extra added visual stimulation. Mick does enough to give us that on stage it is about the music and moving around does help. I will not however say you are wrong to have enjoyed this, or that I disagree, as I am sure it was fun to watch. cheers
This was wonderful to watch. I have been a Stones fan for 40 plus years and still enjoy learning about the band.
nice Brain, the way it should be. We all feel it! I can not get enough, and listen to each song like it is my first time! thanks for sharing your comments and glad you enjoyed!
Excellent work. B&B's undervaluation has always been a conversation I was ready to start. Thanks a lot man.
Thank you TM. As Stones fan, it is up there with all, and should never be neglected. It is blasphemy . yw
very cool docu, thanx. your voice and the way you puttin the story sounds so professional. many details but never loose the target out of sight.
Thank you UG....glad you enjoyed this and hopefully the others. We fans needed something deeper and better. cheers
Sorry Keith felt alone with Mick Taylor,But In my opinion The Mick Taylor years were the best sounding the Stones ever were. But Black and Blue is one of my favorites. I saw them in 75 in old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. J-Geils Band stole the show I thought !
They flowed melodically for sure with Taylor. If you add it up, yes the era was magical. cool to have seen this tour, it must have been great! And JGeils were in prime.

For anybody obsessed with rock n' roll this really is 1st class content. Imagine being Ron Wood and having to tackle the Stones back catalogue. For a guitarist of Ronnie's caliber it must have been a dream come true. And then the part of getting to hang out with Keith all the time. Ronnie holds a special place in my heart as a guitar player and fun guy in general. Thanks so much for creating these documentaries. They are super fascinating to watch.
thanks so much MJ....appreciate that tremendously. The hard work pays off when I see this comment. Great that you get Ronnie and what he is as a Stone. nice. He is the real deal and down to earth....
