Memory Motel exists and still is open and located in Montauk Point Long Island (TheEnd) in New York with a beautiful lighthouse and town for the affluent still. The Stone's decades ago hung out there ( bar and motel nothing fancy) and used their piano and bar to hangout, play around and contemplate song's however the owner didn't like them is how the story goes and wouldn't let them play there much. This was when Andy Warhol had a place out there too and Mick was very friendly with him and went as a getaway occasionally as it wasn't so popular or touristy back then. Also it is rumored he is singing about Carly Simon who is "Hanna Honey or Baby"...who he had a brief romance with at the Memory Motel which is located a couple of blocks from the beach ( her hair all drenched in spray) before he had to return to a grueling tour down south of the USA. It's also one of the few Stones songs where Jagger & Richard's actually share the vocals more equally then ever. Definitely a classic!!! This song too makes me remember past relationships that didn't work out but in the moment of living them you thought that person was all your focus, Irreplaceable and "meant so much to me." Music is a time portal for sure... Took a chance picking this however it seems to have paid off and I'm happy bout that!
@@christopherdigiuseppe5396I was there a month back for a day trip with my Wife as we made a point to take a pic outside of the Memory and stop at John's drive through for a burger and shake!!
Yeah , if thats right and it's about Carly Simon, there must be a big input from Richards cos he normally sings on his own songs , may be an amalgamation ...what ever ,it's super fine
The Rolling Stones have some great slower ballad type songs. Some of my favorites are: "Ruby Tuesday", "As tears go by", "Time is on my side". One of my all time favorite Stones song is "Get off of my cloud", although not a slow one.
Thanks for reacting to a more obscure (except to hardcore Stones fans) Stones track from an album that was slighted by critics and some fans. However, as usual the Stones were continuing to adapt to changes in the musical times with the reggae influences on this album. That is why they are the greatest band ever---their ability to adapt musically while also staying true to their blues roots. Decades later the album now has gained greater appreciation by critics and fans.
I'm with you she has delved into The Stones in a very unusual way, taking a track from Black and Blue is a strange choice. It's not one of my favoured Stones albums but for me this is one of the best song on the album.
If I'm not mistaken it's the Gerneys inn, right ? Don't know if I spelled that correctly. I had a cousin who lived out in bellport on the island. I live on the island as well. From the same hometown as Billy Joel. But my cousin worked there. Probably in the late '70s or early '80s.
I loved your explanation. It is spot on. Like the song says " . . . just a memory, of a love, that used to mean so much to me ". I felt the emotion too while listening. The music is so beautiful yet it has a wistfulness in it, which adds to the lyrics. I dont know if this is remastered or if it's the cause of listening on my earphones, but I noticed all the layers of instruments in the track which I find so beautiful. The whole track :lyrics, music, feeling, add up to what is, in my opinion, a masterpiece. I also loved watching you listen to it . Thanks for playing it . Listen to You're a Fool to Cry, also on this album .
Really? She reacted to the lyrics...which are great imo, but the song is sooooo much more than lyrics...Preston on keys, mick and keith trading lead vocals...beautiful piano and guitar interplaying...dynamics. no mention of the music element makes it a terrible reaction...compared to others.
Two songs that are criminally underplayed and underreacted to by the stones. Off of goat's head soup, the song Winter. Which has a similar vibe to it as this song. And then another song, my favorite song. The song is called, Time waits For No One. Those two are a must. Time waits for no one is off of it's only rock and roll. Which is the next album after goat's head soup. And I think if I'm not mistaken. Is the studio album before this one. Take care and be well.
My truck was black and silver.she use to drive it. Her eyes are hazel. I play guitar. I lived this song. The song is genius. when you see the stones do it live it truly is art. They act it out on stage. It's about a someone who lost the love of their life and someone close to both of the subjects is comforting their best friend. Supposedly Jagger had something going with Carley Simon, and they spent some time at the actual hotel named "Memory Motel," located in Montauk Long Island.
Another great band, although I didn't know this one and doesn't sound like Mick singing but enjoyed it. So many great songs again, but from the same year ' Miss you' is a good one-Colin Ward
Start Me Up,Satisfaction,Honky Tonk Woman.Get Off Of My Cloud,It's All Over Now,Miss Amanda Jones,Let's Spend The Night Together,Star Star,Rocks Off,Under My Thumb, just a few..:) (use studio versions).
I have a request if you would play it the band is called Badfinger and he song is |Baby Blue| the story of the band is tragic regretably but I believe if you find the live version of the song on the Kenny Rogers show you won't be disappointed since I have listened to some of the other genres you have played like Joe Cocker, Foreigner etc....they would have been the next Beatles It is believed.; They did songs like BaBY Blue, Day After Day and Without You.
They are obviously among the greatest bands of all time! And some say even better than The Beatles, The Who and others! 1st time hearing this song, and it's pretty cool! I dig their music, but not their cocky and privelaged attitude! I mention this because they wrote one of the most if not the most unselfish, real, true and humbling songs ever! The song is Time Waits For No One! Everytime I hear that song, I feel very nostalgic and so sad for all humanity, especially my family and friends! Because all moments and people are fleeting, and soon they will all just be a memory! Very deep, powerful and intense! Check it out if you can! Goodbye! Happy note! I believe we will see each other again one day soon in our own Wonderland! Just wait and see!
I saw them do this song live, all I can say is "WOW." The crowd went nuts each time Keith Richards stepped in front of the mic to do his part. I will never forget that night. I was Victimized by The Rolling Stones. It was the highlight of the show for me because I lived this song but not word for word.
@@grabzndealz8213 Haha I’ve been victimised by The Rolling Stones for years now. Keith’s autobiography is a fantastic read or listen (the audiobook is great). Not sure how he’s still alive!
Keith Richards comes through with heart, singing, "She's got a mind of her own, and she use it well..." Love it.
Takes me back to the summer of '76 driving around with this album on the stereo
One of the greatest rock ballads of all time . Nice reaction.
It’s obviously not a balled.
@@shspurs1342 of course it is .
My favourite Stones album. Full of great songs. Crazy mama, Hand of fate, Hey Negrita. worth a listen too.
Yep this album is def up there man , just another beautiful Stones Ballad thats perfect
Keith's background singing was wonderful!! His lead on coming down again on goats head soup his classic!!!
Keith on bg vocals here. Beyond fantastic. And thanks for the reaction.

One of their best songs from a very overlooked album-also had Fool To Cry, Hey Negrita, Hot Stuff & Cherry Oh Baby.
“Hand of Fate” and “Crazy Mama” are excellent, straight-ahead rockers, as well.
Hot Stuff was always a party starter back in those glorious,fun-filled 70’s days.
Last best songs..lol. Some Girls, Tattoo You, Etc…every Stones song is a great song .
I've never been the biggest fan of the album, but I consider Memory Motel to be one of the Stones greatest ballads, and among their greatest songs.
Not to forget Melody😊
I love how he is going out on tour (huge venues) and she is headed up to Boston to sing in a bar.

Wild Horses is one of their best ballads. Angie too

Has been my favourite Stones album from the week of its release.
The beauty of music is where it takes you and what you interpret it as. Nice reaction.
I live an hour away from the actual motel they stayed at and wrote this song about. It’s in Montauk, New York
If I'm not mistaken it's the Gerneys inn, right ? Don't know if I spelled that correctly. I had a cousin who lived out in bellport on the island. I live on the island as well. From the same hometown as Billy Joel. But my cousin worked there. Probably in the late '70s or early '80s.
@@chuckvelten5337as far as I know it’s still called memory motel

I bought this vinile's album in 1988 and every song was so special...from the starting to the last song...
always loved this one
Stones had some great albums in the '70s !
"The Rolling Stones " Almost Hear You Sigh" Official Promo
I never heard this one, thx! It’s so interesting how music touches certain nerves in our souls!
Happy 80th Birthday, Mick Jagger ✌️

Ps I agree that some people come into our lives to teach us something. 💯
Great song. Best reaction I've ever heard by a million miles.

There's is/ was a Memory Motel in Seaside Park , NJ . The tongue was a pool slide 😂
Thanks for your nice reaction. This is what music can do.

I haven't heard this song in at least 40 years. Thanks for reacting to it.
Great song from a great underrated album 👅❤
Harvey Mandel plays some beautiful lead guitar here and makes a strong case for being the permanent replacement for Mick Taylor.
Greatest Rock n Roll Band ever 🤘🤘
What a catalogue of hits..practically endless!! 🎶🔥♥️
Just paints the scene so well. My fav stones tune. About mick meeting up with Carly Simon as the story goes

It’s the Stones. That’s all you have to say. The first album I bought was Twelve By Five.
Awesome song
I keep onna feelin..that gnawin in my bones
Another great band, although I didn't know this one and doesn't sound like Mick singing but enjoyed it. So many great songs again, but from the same year ' Miss you' is a good one-Colin Ward
That's Mick and Keith trading lead vocals.
Damn, you got teary-eyed so I got teary-eyed.

Great tune. Rocks not always kicking ass🤘❤️
Wonderful reaction and interpetation.
The Stones are the most soulful white boys ever. Lifetime pass to the summer backyard bbq
2:59 got a mind
Hall and Oates = most soulful white boys.
Great to see a reaction to a lesser known track.

Hmmm... guess I need to try this one again. Angela and Scotty see something in the song very dear to me that I missed. Okay, round 2
You need to hear the girl with far away eyes
You're just a memory
Of a love that used to mean so much to me
Never heard this one song before but it's something different but it's cool
I’ve heard Mick wrote this one for Carly Simon. No idea if that’s true but could be.
They are obviously among the greatest bands of all time! And some say even better than The Beatles, The Who and others!
1st time hearing this song, and it's pretty cool!

This is in my top 5 Stones songs. Keith Steals this song, unreal vocals.

@@woody143 Yes I read it. Keith is very intelligent, the all are. I am the ultimate Rolling Stones fan...
As with all the great stones ballards written by Keith
Primarily a Keith Richards song
