This has got to be, hands down, the greatest LIVE performance ever assembled!! Thank you Stones 🙏🏼 Mick's arguably the best front man of all time, Keith whales, Charlie holds it all together & those back-ups, WOW!!! 👍🏼🎸🎤🎶
Let’s not forget Charlie KILLED this…Keith’s whole solo? Go back and listen again to the work Watts is doing in the background over that timeframe. That subtle swing, man!
I have listened/watched a dozen or more different performances of Sympathy, but damn, I think this is the best one I've ever seen! The energy level in both Mick and Keith, the power in the music and the extended riffs of Kieth are all so superb and powerful it totally sucked me in. Jagger is at his taunting, mocking, leering best, best I've ever heard keith on this piece, and his body movements almost amplifying the fire coming from his guitar.
Could'nt agree more we finally get to see all sides of Kieth ebullient , totally free and in his element , almost showing off , taking off his coat of darkness and years of abuse , the Stones were absolutely excellent in this set ...should release is as a live album
I met Mick Taylor and. Bill Wyman very humble guys very cool. Mick Taylor singed 4-5 CDs for me. Bill Wyman signed my Copenhagen snuff tin. He asked me if I use the tobacco. He was very classy
Keith is so on top of his game hell and absolute- and all the band is thrilled, even Mick who doesn't like being "up-staged" but they seemed to know Keith was so with it and let him go. This is such a happy video!!
RIP Charlie xxx. I tell ya what...for such a small country did we in the UK produce some bands or what? Stones, Beatles, Led Zep, Floyd, Queen. Five of the most listened to bands in history. The UK rocks like no other. As for this tune, one of the best ever written. Very sharp poetry to weave historic events together. Genius.
Mesmerizing- every performance has the magic of the first time- musical genius's- nothing else like the Stones- seeing them again soon on Hackney Diamonds Tour- bringing my sons (again!)
Gigantic solo by Keith here. When he could still play...I am so sad to see and hear the few bum notes he plays now on this song now in 2021. Age and arthritis in his fingers. So sad. RnR is a young man's game....
The greatest front man this planet has ever seen, beyond iconic he left the planet a long time ago, he's totally unreachable. Jagger / Masterpiece...☝🏻🎤😈✌🏻
I have seen the Rolling Stones five times ever time Mick Jagger amazes me with the energy that he puts out onstage and I don't know how it is is going to be near 70 and still running around crazy God bless them
Actually Mick is 78 near 80...saw them in Philly 2019 about 2 months after Mick had open heart surgery. They still rocked and put on a great show. I got to see them also in Philly for the 98 Bridges to Babylon tour when I was 13. First concert and after that I was hooked.
I have been watching some of their performances from past weeks, Mick is 80 and he's still pretty much the same, moving around and voice as strong, he's not human. I can't come up with any other 80 year old rock star, singer or dancer moving like he does.
Dylan...Lennon and McCartney...Jagger/Richards...and the popular song was forever changed...Pleased to meet you! Bless you all in your sorrow tonight....The Rolling Stones: GreatestRock BandEver!! No contest. Goodnight dear Sir Charles...
What a way to make a living putting smiles on people's faces and forgetting the outside world for a few hours. Best live performance of this iconic number by far. I was 40 yrs old. Don't waste your youth young people.
This is by far the best live performance this band has ever done. 🎤 Mick is actually singing on key and in tune, instead of his usual, arrogant, lazy, awful stuff. 🎸Keith is at the Top of His Game. He seemed as happy as a kid turned loose in a candy store. 🥁Charlie was in sync with Keith. 🪨Bill and 💎Ronnie did their best to keep up... 🚤🚒🏍️🏎️🚅🏇⚡☄️🚀✈️
Keith plays everything in open G he rocks this solo, I think the reason for him still being around is when you look at him you would swear he's already been dead for awhile
The best ever version of Sympathy with Keef at his very best..look at the spontaneous smile of love for music on his face while his guitar talks word by word like the devil himself...
O M G this version will go down in history as one of the GREATS.....Mick is at his best , it all flows flawlessly they are all at the pinnacle of musical perfection. Absolutely brilliant.
I have been playing guitar for 50 years. I've played a LOT professionally. I believe this is the greatest rock and roll band that ever was. And there were SO many greats of course, like Chuck Barry. But the Stones may have been the BEST there ever was. THIS is a Rock And Roll Band
Richard McCauley and me in 1965 saw them at the Houston Music Hall. we were behind the stage and above. something like a catwalk. WATCHED jager be Jagger. STILL going strong HELLUVA A SHOW then. RIP Richard. SEMPER FI
Ciao Chalie, hai riempito le mie giornate con la tua meravigliosa musica da 50 anni arrivando sempre dentro le mie vene e il mio cuore.................... continua a suonare la tua magica ritmica, sarai sempre con noi!!!!!! viva i Rolling Stones...............it's only rock and roll but i like it
Wyman's bass absolutely blows up the room and creates all that space that Keith and Ronnie play in. The casual listener just doesn't hear it. It took me a long time to figure out what role he played in the Stones. But once you hear it, you can't unhear it. The guy was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Sometimes I think his stoic act was just a game he played, to be unnoticed off to the side while laying down the most essential groove. Dude was a beast.
I must have watched this vid 20 times by now - and it just keeps getting better. Keef was having a great time and Mick was strutting his stuff. Amazing that at 30 YEARS later, the Stones are still going strong and Ronnie Wood is also.
In my youth, I always regretted having been born so late I could not see the Beatles and in the 2nd half of the 80ies I thought I will never be able to see the Stones. I saw the 9 times live. Honestly thank you, god!
I think Keef had an out of body experience here on this one…he was on a level a few musicians ever gravitate too,but when they do ,they know it.This was tops.
Fortunate enough to see the Stones here in Perth in Australia three times, 65, 73 and 94. On the 94 show Keith played just like this, from one side of the long stage to the other. Magic stuff. They opened with "Not fade Away", it had been raining lightly during the opening act ( Aussie band called Cruel Sea) and the rain stopped as Not fade Away began. 73 they had Mick Taylor with them. I'm 71 now. I've seen them all pass this way, Dylan, first time in 66 with the famous world tour with the Hawks, later the Band ( a life changing experience for a fifteen and a half year old teen) and in the following years, with Tom Petty, Patti Smith. Ry Cooder came, Dire Straits, BB King, Cocker, Animals, Jackson Brown, JJ Cale, Tom Waits,) Leo Kottke, Crosby Stills and Nash, Springsteen, Eagles, Buddy Guy, Houndog Taylor and the House Rockers, Albert Lee, Clapton, Pink Floyd, Derek Trucks, Sonny Terry and Albert McGee, Bowie, Frigid Pink, and not forgetting the most awesome concert I have ever been to, Led Zeppelin. So it goes. What a life.
The arrangement for this song is amazing. Mic is a very "sexy" Satin. Love the red jacket. But Keith steals the show with his guitar riff. "He is the man" and he knows it. Mic graciously gives him the stage them closes it out. It's true, men get better looking as they age. Everyone on this stage is "hot"!😍🤩😋😛😏🤘
I have been listening watching on lps cds n on videos nearly my 70years of existence n still listening 2 the best rock n best stage performers in the world they dont copy any1 the Is the best in the world i love the Stones from the 60s South Africa 🤣🤣🤣🤩🤩🤩😘
Keef is obviously stealing the show here, but are we not gonna mention that Ronnie Wood is absolutely killing it in the background? Laying down some really groovy, inventive and varied comping (especially over an extended repeat of the same three chords) and mixing in sweet counter lead lines to Keef's, serving the song perfectly. Pure class.
Man, I've watched a lot of live versions of this song, but hands down this is my favorite. I've had this on a loop the past few days.
RIP Charlie Watts, gone but never forgotten
Mercipour tout
Thanks🌈💜🥰

I love the Stones so much, I can’t imagine music the same..,without them
Mick your vocals are awesome 🎉🎉. Charlie your drumming is always on point 🎉🎉. Keith Ronnie and Bill you guys are straight killing it 🎉🎉.
This has got to be, hands down, the greatest LIVE performance ever assembled!! Thank you Stones 🙏🏼
Mick's arguably the best front man of all time, Keith whales, Charlie holds it all together & those back-ups, WOW!!! 👍🏼🎸🎤🎶
Agreed, this performance is nothing but awesome, mind blowing.
The greatest rock and roll band of all time. Great listening to and sound the same in person.
I agree except for Queen Live Aid
R.I.P Charlie. You were the musical and emotional backbone of this band.
Playing these videos for my brother in the hospital battling for his life. He’s seen them every single USA tour from the very first one! He’s a Keef!
Wow awesome solo from Keith, he's on fire here.
The best Keith ever sounded playing this solo.
Ain't it the truth. Blew me away.
Have you heard hackney diamond's?
Let’s not forget Charlie KILLED this…Keith’s whole solo? Go back and listen again to the work Watts is doing in the background over that timeframe. That subtle swing, man!
and atlantic city also
Keef does much more than most lead guitarists; maybe not technical virtuosity, but brings out the caged beast behind much of their music.
Precisely. Keith isn’t a refined player, he’s pure music, zero filter.
It’s like he feels the notes-has mastered the mystery of Sound
Excellent as always !!! The very best rock'n'roll group in the World !👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️❤️
Charlie Watts, tempo master! They are thriving on the power he's producing. Bass guitarist Bill Wyman is eloquent!
Love it! The Riff Master rides again! The Best ever!🎶🎸🎸👅🎶♥️
No one moves like Jagger!
A crackhead when they high😂
Flashpoint best album live or studio
Especially that maroon 5 twat.
Great version. Keith just killing it. 32 years later....Man what have I done with my life?????
80,000 fans attended. That night from all over the world!!!!!

This is the first time I've encountered this performance. I've never heard Keith cut up like this. Brilliant.
God save the rest of a team, world would've be quite empty without them. R.I.P. Charlie
I don't believe there was any other band as good live as the Stones, and they're still rockin!
I met Mick Taylor and. Bill Wyman very humble guys very cool. Mick Taylor singed 4-5 CDs for me. Bill Wyman signed my Copenhagen snuff tin. He asked me if I use the tobacco. He was very classy

The greatest band the world has ever seen or ever will see!
I was there with a full of tears in my eyes for waiting them in Japan more than 10 years. I was 22 at that time.

There are a dozen bands on that list before Queen even come into view - most over rated pop rockers ever, Radio Gaga ffs!!

The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the history of music...
Yes when Mick Taylor was with them.

😈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You listen to this song and the adrenaline increases, it is unique, unrepeatable, a work of rock art...........
Mick’s Dancing after walking down the stairs in the most boss way imaginable is what puts it over the top
Jedna od najboljih!!!!
Yes = Predictable = Wait --- When is there a vote?
Absolutely !👍👌👏🙏
Watch the Documentary about how it was made … the transformation into the final version we all know and love was mesmerising
Unbelievable Solo by the legendary Richards. a fantastic performance delivered to perfection
th-cam.com/video/fzk30_GG8yI/w-d-xo.html No solo to speak of from 2022 Keith. Too old to play but still a very fine video.
Richards in full flight ✈️😌🙌🤗😍
Just waiting for Taylor to take it over….never mind
The world now just calls him Keith. There is only one KEITH
Amazing Keith Richards solo! This guy is from another Planet!
Planet Drugs & Alchohol....what a Planet!! 🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻

Keith is freakin amazing here, will never be another like him, long live our Keef! 💕
Guitar is great and Mick is enjoying strutting his stuff 😊
I'm 56 and I've been playing since I was 9
possibly one of the best live version ever of SFTD
...this is such a stellar performance...
Last Great rock band standing says it all really 😎🔥
OH MY GOD ,THE BEST "SYMPATHY FOR THE THE DEVIL" ..........
EVER !!!!!
30 years ago, when Keith was only 98... I hope they live forever
i hope not
No, he doesn't look 98 in this, but now he does, and he'll still outlive us all.
@@craigmarlar9181 sure his music is eternal
How will we know when he's dead?😁
LOL!
The best version of this beautiful song. Keith is simply magic his guitar is vibrating and plunks the string of heart.❤
What a way to make a living putting smiles on people's faces and forgetting the outside world for a few hours. Best live performance of this iconic number by far. I was 40 yrs old. Don't waste your youth young people.
This is brilliant! I was born in 53 and the stones are not new to me . What a gig this is.
Härligt!! 52a.😅
Charlie on drums and Bill on Bass hold this together. Awesome!
Bass on this comes through really well, absolutely love it.
Perfectly.done...nicely dressed Mick! 30yrs ago😍
Steel wheels tour in Houston one of best shows I’ve ever seen
This performance by the Stones is what greatness is all about.
This is by far the best live performance this band has ever done.
🎤 Mick is actually singing on key and in tune, instead of his usual, arrogant, lazy, awful stuff.
🎸Keith is at the Top of His Game. He seemed as happy as a kid turned loose in a candy store.
🥁Charlie was in sync with Keith.
🪨Bill and 💎Ronnie did their best to keep up...

Agree All.
Been a loyal fan since 62,long live R&R
What can I say, just pure legends, if the world is still around in a thousand years, they'll b still talkin abt the rolling stones, and that's a fact
Keith Richards is fantastic on the guitar
Keith Richards is unreal in this performance!!
Keith plays everything in open G he rocks this solo, I think the reason for him still being around is when you look at him you would swear he's already been dead for awhile
Never forget experiencing it live, strongly considering going up to the big city to do it again!
They've been a band for nearly 60 years...and still out on the road. Damn. Respect.
1st time I saw them was in 64
@@lawrenceaderneck7165 So crazy to think they are still out there. Thankfully!

for what? their greed
@@bobcalegari5356 Greed or desire to play? Maybe a little of both. Either way....still doing this into their 70s...

Really ? 😃
@@mp-rn6lb Matter of taste. I meant actually that in the case of Keef.

Simply great!!! time never pass for this historical rock group!!!
Keef is obviously stealing the show here, but are we not gonna mention that Ronnie Wood is absolutely killing it in the background?

Oh EXACTLY!!! NEVER a better live version (or MAYBE VERSION!!) of this song. THE Jam.
Ronnie is such an underrated player
Is Ronnie playing a Telecaster here?
Nicky Hopkins on keyboards?
I said the same. Wood is groovin’ on that telecaster
I remember going out to dance with my friends and my cousin Tommy during the summer in the Hamptons.

Dead right. I’ve been listening to the Stones for 50 years & for me that’s the definitive version.
