it goes unnoticed that they wrote better country songs than any american band/artist. such a versatile group, if they werent in the same era as the beatles theyd be remembered as the greatest band of the century
Sam Crowson one day I just hit me after years of hearing some people bash them. Each guy by himself probably isn’t going to knock your socks off but they do something ONLY they can do. What helped me realize too was a video of steve Jordan explaining rock and roll then I understood a little more of what the stones were doing and how special it is.
Wadin' through the waste stormy winter And there's not a friend to help you through Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues Thank you for your wine, California Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits Yes I got the desert in my toenail And I hid the speed inside my shoe But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia Come on, honey child, beg you Come on, come on down, you got it in ya Got to scrape the shit right off your shoes Yeah, I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia I want you come on, honey child, I beg you I want you come on, honey child you got it in you Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia Come on, come on down, I beg Come on, come on down, you got it in you Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
Country musicians are doing another (another) tribute album to The Stones. It's going to be called "Stone Cold Country". You won't see them doing one to the Beatles, Zepplin, the Who, etc. This song's an example of why. They say, "It's a love letter from Nashville to The Stones". RIP, Mr. Watts.
the 1972 Dallas concert version of this song Is The Best Ever. (find it here on TH-cam) The band still had their energy and edge. This version is totally flat and smooth by comparison.
“Sweet Virginia” was heard in CASINO (1995) for this one scene where Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci have to deal with this oversized gambler in cowboy hat who took off his boots and propped his socked feet on a table, in contravention of casino rules.
What a nice saxophone treat and vocal backup. A true spiritual from Reverend Mick.
And this is why Sweet Virginia is my favorite Stones song. Wow what a rendition. Rip Charlie
Who's listening in 2024?
me
from Japan
Just found this yesterday after having heard it in a movie!
I'm listening it in 2025!!!!
One of the best songs ever. There is a very special vibe to Sweet Virginia. It's wild.
Indeed 👍
Goddamn man I'm 1000% convinced this jam will just always help me get through shit. What a beauty of a song
Just keep scrapin that shit right off your shoe man
@@John-sr2hrThat line holds such relevance! CHEERS!!
when I flip the the first LP of Exile to side 2 and press play I get shivers before it has even started
If I HAD to pick just one Stones track , this would be it.
Shine A Light running a close second :-)
It is one of their best. Without a doubt.
So would I!
My God...whatta arrangement! Awesome. Love Keef's small guitar. And his picking here is ...gooood....Everything is awesome!
I love how the Stones use the sax - SO nice, so integrated!
Texas Legend Bobby Keys RIP ...... great Musician ..... Respect
Jagger with no affected voice, great rendition, one of the best

I’m not even a country fan but I can tell you that claim is simply not true.
😢
I meant after the stones
You're right, but why all this comparing different styles of music. Stop this competition please🕊
@@sterigma555 you're right if you were a country fan you would know
When I play this song - it is ALWAYS at FULL VOLUME.
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS THEY EVER MADE. THERE IS JUST SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT IT.
R.I.P. Charlie. This is my fave Stones song
Bobby Keys
Fantastic !!! Band is great,the way Jagger done it is maybe the best version ever!!!!
Only this group of men can stand on that stage and make the sound they’re making.

And they flew over my house in a hot air balloon once.
What a fantastic song! Love listening to this every day....never get tired of it! ❤
Been singing this when my niece Vif, Virginia, came over from New Zealand to Holland. Sweet memory🙏
Wadin' through the waste stormy winter
And there's not a friend to help you through
Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues
Thank you for your wine, California
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits
Yes I got the desert in my toenail
And I hid the speed inside my shoe
But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
Come on, honey child, beg you
Come on, come on down, you got it in ya
Got to scrape the shit right off your shoes
Yeah, I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
I want you come on, honey child, I beg you
I want you come on, honey child you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia
Come on, come on down, I beg
Come on, come on down, you got it in you
Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes
For those of you who might have not seen Knives Out this was played over the credits at the end of the movie. A great choice
Sweet Virginia. Best bluesy song. Love Keith
The 4 masters of Rock 'n Roll!
How can anyone give a dislike to this excellent video. So many assholes in this world.
Got the desert in my toenail!! Love when they do the country feel!! No damn better!! ✌🏻☮️
Great version of a very cool song. Just seen a special on Bobby Keys(sax) and that led me to checking out this version.
Texas Legend
I nominate this song to be the State Song 0f Virginia.
@rustywilbourne6873, you do know this song is about drugs, right?
Best version!!!!
Knives Out bought me here.

++++++++
Fave rolling stones song
Великолепно ❤
You ever notice when someone claims best version it usually isn't. 1972 still the best hands down.
live or studio. is it this th-cam.com/video/tIfQipkkOqs/w-d-xo.html
100% 72 not even close. Dead flowers is awesome with Taylor on guitar too.
A thumbs down? Seriously??!!
Mother of god
Stones 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bob keys!!!!
72 version is the best
Good job Anthony R
Qué cosa hermosa
Down home pickin’.

Epic track.
Sweet Black Angel might be better. 🤔🤫
I literally miss you mick and gang we live another day till then a big pile of shit we will motor cross
Tell me the key to this song, Bruce harp
I still can't tell if they suck intentionally on this one or not. Kurt CaBang would be proud either way
At 1.57 Keith has a miss, nevertheless one of the best versions life!!
Scrape it!
Keith 2nd voice🙂
As good as brown sugar... .
Actually, 1971 video w Mick Taylor is better. Micks lead work is exceptional
Best version??? You have been smoking too much weed.
Really quacky acoustics here..
So F up or what ?
Ficou uma porcaria nem parece stones
On the Exile on Main Street recordings - it is some of Bobby Keys BEST WORK. IT JUST KICKS ASS.
UNICOS Gloriosos
Mick threw way a perfectly good harmonica.
Is that Bobby Keys?
Did Ronnie get up at 3.22 an do a fart
