The amazing thing about this performance is that no lead singer was giving this kind of outrageous perfomance, even the Beatles where very composed. Mick Jagger and the Stones are true legends of rock.
I guess you're only a fan of the Stones, and not Rock-n-Roll. This was 1968. The late 60s and early 70s was heyday of Rock-n-Roll: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Beatles, The Eagles, The Who, The Doors, The Ramones, Cream, Blind Faith... Sounds like you think there's another time where there were bands much better than the Stones. What time was that? Now?
There was always that moment in their show when Keith turned around to Charlie and they grin at each other. That's when you knew that at that moment, all is well
I think for me, its an ongoing process. I'm 58 and it still reveals more each time I hear it. Thank you for reminding me/us just how important and relevant the lyrics are. Peace be yours
So sad to hear that Charlie Watts has passed away. The Rolling Stones will definitely never be the same without him. RIP Charlie. Tell Brian Jones we said hi!
They already were not the same as Brian passed away and was member no more. ....Think this was much more a tragedy dieing at such a young age. He was the most talented of the Stones and a great musician. Mick and Keith wanted to lead the band although he was the creator.
I agree! I remember watching videos of them with my family and we would laugh at how different Mick and Charlie were on stage. He seemed so focused! So sad to hear about his passing.
Best song the Stones ever did, and that's saying one HELL of a lot. The smooth, fun & raw groove of this song is just beyond sublime. And that killer sax solo...damn.
Imagine if they used autotune and loops they would blown everyone’s acid laced minds... I can’t even imagine what that would sound like. Hell just try and imagine the stones with 808s.
John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Pete Townshend in the audience. Love these people! Written in 1969 after Kennedy brothers were killed. I shoplifted this album when I was 15. Oops, I owe Mick $10.
And also a perfectionist. Sympathy For The Devil was repeated about ten times for Rock'N'Roll Circus... Not satisfied with the final results (some say Jagger was jealous of Roger Daltrey), the movie stood unreleased for 28 years...
he was high as a kite. but if you want to see really crazy time look up The movie "Gimme Shelter" when the rolling stones had the hell's angels as security for the concert. better yet just watch the scene when sunny phones up the next morning pissed off at the band. you will be on the floor laughing out loud.

And he would not face the audience for a long period as well. Jim has some amazing live performances but Mick transformed into the devil for you on stage in front of Lennon. So…

They have always been an unique band. They have experimented with different worldly instruments, like the East Indian sitar and now African drums. I will always love the Rolling Stones. Their music is so timeless.
The thing that’s made The Rolling Stones so great is that their music is timeless. It sounded modern in 1969 and it sounds modern in 2021. True artists!
@@Tarzthegreat Not really. Jagger is not a good singer, and the arrangements of a lot of the Stones' songs is quite subpar. Powerful, but not quite taken to the point. These days you get a lot of average songs that are executed much better.

This performance was at the end of the movie, and was filmed after midnight. The band, film crew were pretty spent by then. A few even suggested they all get an hour or two of sleep before filming the final segment. Mick Jagger reportedly was adamantly opposed to the idea.
Don't get enough credit?? Dude, what are you on, my friend? I'd like some! 😁 Seriously, they are EASILY considered by most to be one of the top 2 or 3 co-songwriters of all time. Especially when discussing classic rock, or 1960's counterculture. Second only to maybe Lennon/McCartney and often considered above them when specifically discussing classic rock. Also, second to Lennon/McCartney, they are the most SUCCESSFUL songwriting duo. That's just a simple fact. So not enough credit for you? Or do you just not really know what you're talking about? If the latter is true, well no worries mate; you obviously are at least a casual fan if not more, so you're off to a good start! 👍😁👍
I think you can get pretty close to objectivity by saying they aren't simply because all of their their albums aren't brilliant cover to cover. The same can be said of other great bands like Floyd or Zeppelin. The icky band that ever did that was The Beatles. That's why they're the best, plain and simple.
This song is amazing in many aspects: It's one of popular music's best songs ever recorded, it's an amazing dance song, and it also features Keith Richards' best guitar solo.
lol! yeah, the last 30 seconds, where they fold like a cheap lawn chair. don't get me wrong. I like the stones, certainly more than the beatles, but richards was garbage with a couple of fumbling solos, jones was so stoned he couldn't be relied on to do anything more than use a couple hand shakers, and Mick was apparently lip syncing, or there was serious delay between the mic and the p.a.
Love this performance and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus as a whole. Just people along with music legends playing and enjoying music together. Rest in Peace, Charlie Watts
Splendida, trascinante, e sensuale ballata dei vecchi Stones, qui in una delle loro esibizioni giovanili più suggestive e coinvolgenti. Immensamente bravi e carismatici, come sempre.
This is such a good track all these years later. One of the most iconic Rock tracks of all time, and the way it is performed in this case is true showmanship. The whole thing. A band that was coming of age, but still plays to packed audiences more than 50 years later. Just Brilliant.
The Stone had been "of age" for several years already when this performance was recorded and filmed. The Beatles and the Stones both came out with their first double albums in 1967, _Sgt. Pepper_ and _Their Satanic Majesties Request._
I'm glad to see someone in the comments that recognizes the Stones, it really pains me to see all these kids making ridiculous comments about this "amazing new band"
To think that these guys are still performing at a high level and selling out every concert is beyond amazing. Probably the only band ever that over the years rocked kids and their great grandparents in person.
I'm one of the biggest fans of The Who you'll find and on behalf of Who Nation: this performance is absolutely incredible! When I was young we always played the "this band is better than that band" game. But from the perspective of a 55 year old: they're ALL great! Be thankful you were alive during the time frame when bands like the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zep, etc were kicking ass live onstage!
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I met my wife and married her when we were very young. We were also very young parents, and in the beginning I struggled trying to find a job to pay for us all. I got into a plumbing apprenticeship by the grace of God when we needed it most, and this is one of the anthems of my life. I just wanted a humble and stable life, and make sure we'd all be ok. I'm now 48 with 27 and 23 year old sons that have grown into incredible, smart, talented young men. I credit my wife for a lot of it, but I'm happy that I could be there to help when I could.
The Devil is a better Christian than most of the current people that call themselves "Christian". I've been hearing its the end of times for 60 years now. I wish it would hurry up and just get over with. I'm tired of waiting on the bullshit to be over.
@@chagnonp7 Keith was asked in interview I watched once, who's better? You or Ronnie, his reply was,we are both horrible but together we are great! I thought that was awesome answer to a interviewers dumb question 🤘

What about Janis Joplin?!
Bruh...Iggy Pop was scaring people at the same exact moment. Jagger is great but c'mon.
Don't be angry with me

This band did this long before MTV was ever thought of. The Stones are far better than any other band from that time.

@jakubchrobry3701 nope never really got into the stones. Or led zep for that matter. Was more into ozzy than anything else.
I always loved how Charlie never really showed any emotion but pounded the crap out of those drums like it was just another day at work.

Kind of like Ox of the The Who.
Magic!
He was probably tripping his balls off
Is this the rolling stones rock and roll circus? John lennon played in "the dirty mac" they played yer blues
When you see John Lennon rocking out to Mick Jagger you start to understand what the 60s were all about
yes, were about acid, too much acid... Lenon is high as FK haha
Thought that was him. Thanks for affirmation 😅
With stupid jokes
Still he called him a fa...ggot. hahahaha. Lennon was an arrogant schmuck and overrated. And about the video: Brian Jones was already sidelined....
I know...!! I was born in 1953..

Right. Respect to what Mick Taylor brought, but nice to see the original 5 again.

So sad to hear that Charlie Watts has passed away. The Rolling Stones will definitely never be the same without him. RIP Charlie. Tell Brian Jones we said hi!

I think half the audience was on acid. You can see it in their eyes.
Would’ve sounded like shit too

John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Pete Townshend in the audience. Love these people! Written in 1969 after Kennedy brothers were killed. I shoplifted this album when I was 15. Oops, I owe Mick $10.
That’s a great little anecdote.

I'm 65 and I was 10 when I heard this first time ... and nothing has changed till now. Fantastic.
This man is now 80 and still strutting his stuff, marvellous.
Sweet Sounds of Heaven. One of their best songs in their 80s. Wtf

And just as magnificent ❤😊
There's a reason this band has succeeded through generations.

the best!!!
An interesting observation. Some have said as much before but let us reserve comment until 2000 or 3000 years pass.

Hey, I made and animated video of sympathy for the devil using A.I. Wanna check it out? th-cam.com/video/FcUjGP3498E/w-d-xo.html
Don't know his name, but would love to know. I could be wrong. But isn't he the same conga player that played in the Traffic song, The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys?
@@gregory571 Rocky Dijon
Man he earned his pay that day. He kept that beat going the whole song…a marathon conga player.
The real hero is the guy who has to play the exact same conga pattern for ten minutes
Brh imagine Brian Jones. High af and playing the same pattern. At a point, his hands hurt, but he has no clue why
Rocky Dijon, the brother was BADASS
Fun fact: The original tempo was so much slower... Please Thank Brian Jones for this version with the faster pace and also the awesome piano play!
Yup
Nice arm workout
Still one of the finest rock songs ever written. “Sympathy for the Devil” defines The Rolling Stones, arguably the greatest of all Rock n Roll bands.
Nirvana, pink Floyd... nirvana was a game changer
Totally agree with you Peter, where is there any one better ?
@@stephenvine3104 Thanks for commenting Stephen, so many great bands from the 60’s until today. The Kinks are my favorite British band, and sometimes I wonder if Ray Davies and his brother and the other members of The Kinks ever collaborated with The Stones, or even if they ever hung out together. Google it, I’m told, and so I will. Have a blessed day. From San Diego, Ca. Peace to you and yours.
nirvana isnt even in same hemisphere@@trigueiros113
I wish I'd heard this song before COD Black Ops
Amazing that Keith Richard lived to make it to 80y/o.
He will live forever
Don't worry. When the Apocalypse has come and gone, and humanity is gone and forgotten by history, the only thing left will be cockroaches and Keith Richards.
RIP Charlie Watts. A sad day for music, but his music lives on forever
🙏🤍
Number 1
👏👏👏❤👏👏👏
RIP Charlie, a legendary and one of the best drummers the UK has produced that will never be forgotten.
You know your band is getting somewhere when John Lennon is grooving in the audience!
And also Pete Townshend from The Who, not bad :)
John Lennon performed in this concert with the Dirty Mac and the Who also performed
I saw that too.
list the time?

Please someone invent the time machine, so I can go back there after changing my clothes. 🤣
Love this performance. Great chemistry between the guys, especially loved Keef and Mick. Fun seeing John Lennon getting into it, too.

Kick ass song. If no one knows, Rolling Stones have had the most songs played in movies. That tells how fantastic they are!
More than 50 years old and still a mesmerizing performance.
A song that if you really listen is still relevant........that's how you know it's still wicked.

So nice to have a record of a band at its peak of creativity and musicianship.
Lennon grooving at 4:54 is a complete mood.
Fax
And at the end where he’s just playing with a ball of yarn
I love that he is getting down to this.
Yeah !
Are you sure? Watch the vid of Lennon and Dylan sharing a cab. Dylan is out of his mind high and Lennon is throwing so much sarcasm that its just gross.
I remember watching this on live BBC TV in 1968 when I was 13 years old. Amazing then as it still is now.
Ed turned me on to them
That's a monumental moment. You heard it before any of us.
LEGENDS.
Can you imagine: the beatles, the stones, eric clapton, steview winwood, all the rest on the Brit scene, all friends, competitors, recording with each other, hating/loving each other - what a magical time.

One of the greatest performances in Rock history.
So agree with you. Never a more high octane show as Jagger did here. Don't really like the stones but this was mesmerizing. Long live amphetamines!
Certainly one of the great lectures. Fleurs du Mal stuff.
this is disco
This performance was at the end of the movie, and was filmed after midnight. The band, film crew were pretty spent by then. A few even suggested they all get an hour or two of sleep before filming the final segment. Mick Jagger reportedly was adamantly opposed to the idea.
zSo hard to watch them knowing Charlie is gone :(
Mick and Keith don’t get enough credit for there genius song writing. To me the greatest band ever.
Don't get enough credit?? Dude, what are you on, my friend? I'd like some! 😁 Seriously, they are EASILY considered by most to be one of the top 2 or 3 co-songwriters of all time. Especially when discussing classic rock, or 1960's counterculture. Second only to maybe Lennon/McCartney and often considered above them when specifically discussing classic rock. Also, second to Lennon/McCartney, they are the most SUCCESSFUL songwriting duo. That's just a simple fact. So not enough credit for you? Or do you just not really know what you're talking about? If the latter is true, well no worries mate; you obviously are at least a casual fan if not more, so you're off to a good start! 👍😁👍
The stones are great but pink floyd is the best band EVER
when NIcky was with them, possibly...
@@solomonkane6442 Just: no
I think you can get pretty close to objectivity by saying they aren't simply because all of their their albums aren't brilliant cover to cover. The same can be said of other great bands like Floyd or Zeppelin. The icky band that ever did that was The Beatles. That's why they're the best, plain and simple.
Mick and geetars and drums all right
This song is amazing in many aspects: It's one of popular music's best songs ever recorded, it's an amazing dance song, and it also features Keith Richards' best guitar solo.
And the lyrics are a masterpiece
You dont get any thing better than that . 08:20 secs of pure musical brilliance . From start to finish .
lol! yeah, the last 30 seconds, where they fold like a cheap lawn chair. don't get me wrong. I like the stones, certainly more than the beatles, but richards was garbage with a couple of fumbling solos, jones was so stoned he couldn't be relied on to do anything more than use a couple hand shakers, and Mick was apparently lip syncing, or there was serious delay between the mic and the p.a.
@@stevedavis8329 not lip syncing. this was a live show. the studio version is better. it's pure, pure.
Absolutely one of the coolest "looks" Mick ever sported with his hair that length! My other favorite is his 1966 look with the short cropped bangs.
🍾🍾🍾🍾🎉🎉❤️ Forever Rolling Stones ❗❗♥️
RIP Charlie Watts, sincere condolences to the band, family and friends. With Love, from Canada
yes, condolences to the band and his family, many prayers
Definitely missing Mr Watts his Last name could not of been more appropriate . A True Gentleman and Rock Icon . . . God Bless ya Charlie . . .
Love this performance and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus as a whole. Just people along with music legends playing and enjoying music together. Rest in Peace, Charlie Watts
Watching Lennon dancing away in the background, love it!! ❤❤
Yeah and he and Yoko (eww, lol) were at the end of it too. I was pretty shocked at that.
Looked like Jon Anderson of Yes just behind him, and did you see Pete Townshend, the Who, @ 8.35? Who also performed.

Splendida, trascinante, e sensuale ballata dei vecchi Stones, qui in una delle loro esibizioni giovanili più suggestive e coinvolgenti. Immensamente bravi e carismatici, come sempre.
John Lennon and Yoko. They agreed at the time that this song is really terrific. Still is - - - almost 50 years later. Amazing.
Explains the John Lennon cameo during the song/vid, thanks.
The Mafia shore loves it
Pleased to meet you guys ! Ahh yehhhh
it is crazy
This is such a good track all these years later. One of the most iconic Rock tracks of all time, and the way it is performed in this case is true showmanship. The whole thing. A band that was coming of age, but still plays to packed audiences more than 50 years later. Just Brilliant.
The Stone had been "of age" for several years already when this performance was recorded and filmed. The Beatles and the Stones both came out with their first double albums in 1967, _Sgt. Pepper_ and _Their Satanic Majesties Request._
I'm glad to see someone in the comments that recognizes the Stones, it really pains me to see all these kids making ridiculous comments about this "amazing new band"
Какой год?

Wholly Cow, my favorite band and song ever watching sweet John Lennon jamming!
Well not all of them.
I'm one of the biggest fans of The Who you'll find and on behalf of Who Nation: this performance is absolutely incredible! When I was young we always played the "this band is better than that band" game. But from the perspective of a 55 year old: they're ALL great! Be thankful you were alive during the time frame when bands like the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zep, etc were kicking ass live onstage!
Try and look at Eric Burdon and War doing paint it black ,live eye opener.
Who was not all that great.Stones are legendary.
I'm one of the biggest Who fans and I Second the Motion! Bravo to the Stones!
@@leevahal900 The Who is the greatest Rock N Roll band in the World. My concert Tee says so!

Peace and love to the ROLLING STONES,

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I met my wife and married her when we were very young. We were also very young parents, and in the beginning I struggled trying to find a job to pay for us all. I got into a plumbing apprenticeship by the grace of God when we needed it most, and this is one of the anthems of my life. I just wanted a humble and stable life, and make sure we'd all be ok. I'm now 48 with 27 and 23 year old sons that have grown into incredible, smart, talented young men. I credit my wife for a lot of it, but I'm happy that I could be there to help when I could.
Thanks for sharing your story. It’s one of my favourite songs too; I don’t think a lot of people realise how Christian the message is
I'm 41 and just having my first kid soon
@@user-ct1ns6zw4z It really is the end of times when a song about the Devil is now considered very Christian. Thanks for confirming.
What a nice sentiment speaks from your words!
The Devil is a better Christian than most of the current people that call themselves "Christian". I've been hearing its the end of times for 60 years now. I wish it would hurry up and just get over with. I'm tired of waiting on the bullshit to be over.
The way Keith pulls the guitar into reverse @3:37 is so fantastic!! Gets the groove back on track again. What a great guitarist he is!
makes me proud to be a "Keith"
Totally awesome!!!!!
Sorry.. but Keith is the weak link of the band.. rescued by Woods .!
