Actually, this is Keith on lead. In the writing process he established the tempo for the rhythm, but Taylor ended up doing the rhythm guitar for the recording.
Overrated. Mick Taylor wasn't in Aftermath, he wasn't in Beggar's Banquet, he practically wasn't in Let It Bleed. He was in 2 great albums and that's all. How's that the "golden era" of The Stones. He almost didn't write anything, his most important contributions were solos, no riffs and no particular interesting rythm parts. Brian Jones and Ron Wood contributions are much more important for the band. I just don't get why some people idolize Taylor. The guy played some pentatonic solos and that's all. He wasn't remotely close to Clapton and Peter Green, his predecessors with John Mayall, his peers in the early 70s played around him a thousand times, Alvin Lee, Rory Gallagher, Johnny Winter...
@@JulioLeonFandinho For me, it's not so much Taylor, it's just that era of Stones was their best. Keith was coming up with greasy, filthy riffs and Mick's lyrics were clever, but one foot in the dirty gutter. Their best era.
The Stones recorded this at Muscle Shoals in Alabama trying to capture the magic that came out mostly in R and B recordings done there.(Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett) They absolutely pulled it off and more. There is an inexplicable element that comes through in the sound produced there. I think It has something to do with the space, the quiet parts of the song, where you can almost hear the studio, if that makes sense. Listen to Sister Morphine. That song scared the s**t out of me when I was a kid. How do you make a song do that?
This was recorded in the UK at Olympic and Stargraves after they came home from the States. Only Wild Horses, You Gotta Move, Sister Morphine, and Brown Sugar were recorded at Muscle Shoals. But there’s no doubt that their time there heavily influenced the other songs on the album
Riding with my favorite brothers! This song slaps like a MFer! Speeding ticket for sure when you driving with this thumping in your car! Sticky fingers album is a masterpiece. Bobby keys on sax!!! This was during the stones Apex. Top of the mountain quality stones music!! Just so filthy , another great riff from the open tuning king. Keith Richard's!! I Jimmy Miller I believe was the producer!
Ditto! I love the 'visuals' from that song. Very easy to picture it in my mind. The RS are good at that. Mick was well read, wrote stuff no one else thought about. Influenced by Marianne Faithful's reads. Heavy stuff, not much 'fluff'.. lyrics that made me THINK.☮️
@@jamesm7417 As I read through the comments, I'm reminded that "Heartbreaker" isn't even actually the title. Hope I get to keep the "Classic Rock" badge on my Angus Young uniform. 😉
You should literally do the entire first side of sticky fingers. Don't overlook the deeper cuts like The Sway or Moonlight Mile, it's incredible stuff.
@@bobguitarlearner8007 Dead Flowers and I Got The Blues as well. They need to do the whole album. Love side A but I'm a deep cuts guy on most albums in general.
"Sister Morphine" and "Dead Flowers" are must hear songs from the Sticky Fingers album. "Bitch" is a well known song but people don't know the song by title. You should do the whole album.
This is off of Sticky Fingers. Keep going with that album. My favorite album of theirs and not a bad song on the album. Bangers like Bitch and Brown Sugar and ballads like Wild Horses and the sultry Moonlight Mile. Terrific stuff.
"Bitch" is one of their best tunes. The live version on 'Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones' (1974) is especially killer. Love this TH-cam channel.
That's session player Bobby Keyes on sax and Jim Price playing trumpet. You can hear the trumpet out front during the last 30 seconds. Keyes played a lot of sax on Stones' records throughout the '70s... such as "Brown Sugar", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Rip This Joint" and has countless credits including working with George Harrison, Marvin Gaye and Eric Clapton.
Earlier MUST HEAR Classics,, The Rolling Stones "Get Off My Cloud" & "Under My Thumb"..Bonus:: 10+ years later & one that hits different,, "Fool To Cry"..Trust Me!!
They have this ethereal-sounding song called “Time Waits For No One” that you’ll probably enjoy. Mick Taylor, their lead guitarist at the time, performs an amazing solo.
The Stones had sax on a lot of songs played by Bobby Keys. Keys wasn't an official member of the Stones, but played in the studio and live on a lot of their tunes. He passed away maybe 10 years ago. This track has other horn players - I couldn't tell you who. I love the lyrics in this one.
Bobby was such an important part of the Stones. For his epic solo on "Brown Sugar" alone, he earned his place with them. He wrote a book that is hilarious..."Every Night is a Saturday Night". Really great stories of his career, so much of which was playing with the Stones. He and Keith were close, born even on the exact same day. RIP.
For a live Stones performance, I suggest the song "Happy", live 1972. The superb Bobby Keyes on sax, and Keith Richards sharing the vocals with Jagger. Whilst Jagger is the obvious frontman and lead vocalist for most of the time, I always thought Keith's vocals were an essential part of the Stones sound, whether on backing or taking the lead.
After 50 years of buy Rock music I'm going to finally buy some Rollings Stones music. You two breakdown of the songs and appreciation did it!! Thanks, you 2 rock!!
That's the horn section on the original recording: Bobby Keys - saxophone Jim Price - trumpet The Stones usually have a horn section at their live shows.
The producer at this time was Jimmy Miller. He was amazing. He produced ALL of Steve Winwood's bands ( Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic) and later did all of Motorhead's work for like 20 years. His work with the Stones coincides with their best albums.
@@johnmcbarron7282 so, Jimmy often played percussion, although they also often had Rocky Dijon in the studio also. Jimmy usually played drums on the afro beat stuff that Charlie couldn't find the groove on. On this song, according to Wikipedia, Charlie is on the drum kit, while Jimmy Miller is playing the guiro (the scratchy thing at the beginning) and the maracas.
Ladies and Gentlemen the Rolling Stones, is a recording of their 1972 tour for Exile on Main st, it can be streamed its a awesome concert, filmed in Texas. This is one of the standout tunes.
Ok, guys. Glad you like this music. From one older brother to two younger ones, it's great to see the appreciation for music I enjoyed the first time around from way back in the 2oth century. Here are two other songs from Mick and the boys that run at different speeds. ANGIE & DANCE LITTLE SISTER. Enjoy
Gangster may be rhe best description I’ve ever heard for this song. I’ve worn it out in every format from records, tapes, CD, and now digital. I have seen them do this one live many times in the 16 times I have seen the Stones in concert. It;s a big badass happening when they fire up everything they play AND a 4 piece horn section. Always an amazing stage and performance. You guys did this one right, as you usually do! Thank you, men.
100% I always think back to a book I saw at my boys house in Hermosa Beach - back cover had a quote on it - “ The Beatles want to hold your hand, the Stones want to burn your town”
The Stones had several key elements that make rock and roll sound so good. 1. Soulful background singers ☑ 2. Saxophone, and other horn instruments ☑ 3. Piano and Keyboard intro's or outro's ☑
As I've said before, the Stones never shied away from utilizing other artists. When they tour they almost always find a local band to start the show too.
From the same album, take a listen to "I've got the blues." It's one of the best on the album and one of their all time best. Lastly, you'll hear Billy Preston do what may be his all time best solo.
The horns were Jim Price on trumpet and Bobbie Keys on sax. They come from the Delaney and Bonnie and Friends ensemble. I'd suggest checking out Delaney and Bonnie, they're under the radar but an incredible group of musicians who also included among their friends Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, the Dominos band from Derek and the Dominos, Dave Mason from Traffic and Duane Allman. Price and Keys played on multiple Stone's albums and tours, incredible musicians!
@@vicprovost2561 I got to see him at least 3 times live, with the Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour, with Leon Russell and with The Stones and he was always electricifying on stage.
@@ohfour-seven6228 Awesome, I saw him with the Stones and he was amazing, he and Ronnie andKeith got into it big time on Can't You Hear Me Knocking, utterly amazing jam.
I had forgotten how much horns are on Beotch!! The added horns were extra session players, probably from Muscle Shoals. The Stones had a basic 5 man group, Mick, Keith on guitar, Mick Taylor on guitar during this time, Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on drums.
Awesome! Killer guitar solo on this, plus those horns, and Charlie Watts lays down the shuffle to beat all shuffles! RIP. College football marching bands used to play this during half time back in the day.
If aliens arrived to planet Earth and asked, "What is this 'rock and roll' you speak of?" I'd play them this song. I was so excited to watch this reaction. There's a good reason that the Rolling Stones are the mentioned in the same breath as the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Miller was the producer,he was they man behind the boards for there epic run of albums beggars banquet,let it bleed,sticky fingers and exiles on Main Street as well as the strong goats head soup . Also produced some no album singles like jumping jack flash and honkytonk women. If u want to hear them live at there peak I suggest listening to the version of the Brussels affair the was officially released on the re-release of goats head soup. U can see them preform bitch live on lady’s and gentleman The Rolling Stones the video version
Y'all need to seriously do a video review of the documentary Muscle Shoals. It will answer many questions such as when the Stones added horns, who the sax player was, and tons of Motown history recorded in the little town in Alabama
Wait until you guys do some concert videos when the great Lisa Fischer was doing backup vocals. Especially on Gimme Shelter. You'll fall in love with her. 😉😊
A different era and style than than the gritty gutter rock that they've been hearing from the band so far, but an absolute genius classic song. Following along with the lyrics is key.
Bobby Keyes played with The Stones from 1971 - 2014. He met the Stones in 1964. When they decided to incorporate horns in certain songs, they looked no further than their old friend Bobby Keyes. The same horn section featured on Stones albums from 71-74 played live with The Stones. They also played with lots of other bands such as Joe Cocker(Mad Dogs and Englishman) and many others.
If you want to see the Stones live at their peak, along with some serious horns, check out their clips from their movie about their 1972 US tour - “Ladies and Gentlemen - The Rolling Stones.” My top choice for viewing would be All Down the Line - hands down!
So enjoying your reactions! Glad I can across your TH-cam videos! Definitely appreciate your knowledge of music and your insights. Definitely a fan! Keep up the great work!
This was my jam every morning M-F for 20 years rolling up to the job at the probation/parole department. My exit song for 20 years was Hotel California.
Nah Mick and the lads don't play no trumpet kind of things. they get some Pro's to help out with that." Andy Johns engineer: When we were doing “Bitch,” Keith was very late. Jagger and Mick Taylor had been playing the song without him and it didn’t sound very good. I walked out of the kitchen and he was sitting on the floor with no shoes, eating a bowl of cereal. Suddenly he said, Oi, Andy! Give me that guitar. I handed him his clear Dan Armstrong Plexiglass guitar, he put it on, kicked the song up in tempo, and just put the vibe right on it. Instantly, it went from being this laconic mess into a real groove. And I thought, Wow. THAT’S what he does"
I love the lyrics of this one and the beat and vibe of the song, I just can’t help or resist grooving to it, movin’ around, shufflin’ my feet to the beat!
There's an amazing amount of, among other things, James Brown in some of the best Rolling Stones music. And, obviously, the same folks who James drew inspiration from and built upon. See, I get the sense that black folks ended up cut off from the sorts of guys like the Rolling Stones and other Brittish bands who grew up on amazing black music and kept a tradition that wouldn't have existed without its black pioneers going, as well as introduce it to non-american non-black folks all over the world. I love digging into, say, James Brown's work and going "OMG so this is where the Stones lifted this from, and this is where X legendary rock band lifted that from". And I see you guys discover that "OMG this is funky, and omg this is gangsta" while listening to the likes of the Stones or Creedence Clearwater. Makes me feel that the world is a better place, that I have a lot in common and a lot I could vibe with folks on the other side of the world, and we wouldn't even think that we actually get and appreciate a heap of the same stuff. Also, it's crazy that black folks in the US got cut off from this part of, well, their heritage and cultural contribution. To the point that grown folks even have to discover, say, the Rolling Stones in their adulthood. Meanwhile the Rolling Stones, and their generation of musical rebels themselves were in awe of iconic black artists. To the point that in Europe, we don't usually think "Elvis Presley" when we think "Rock and Roll", we think "Chuck Berry" immediately. And when Keith Richards was chosen as the person to accept Chuck Berry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame he said, I think: "How can I be the one telling this man that he's now allowed in the Rock and Roll hall of fame when I stole everything I ever played from him?" Not to mention that Elvis himself was openly annoyed at how he was allowed to be idolized all over the States while all of his own idols and inspirations - legendary black musicians who he considered way better than he was - were not! This music is integrative, it connects and shows deep affection and appreciation and respect. So it's maddening that it ever got segregated the way it did, and it's also heartwarming and amazing to see the internet finally desegregating it after all this time. Sorry for the long-winded text guys, but there's at least one guy on the other side of the world who you've made incredibly happy with all your digging into Rolling Stones, Creedence and the rest. It never was, or should've been, music that was foreign and exotic to black folks. And the artists themselves would've been the first to tell you this.
You got it. Mick and the Boys were never lacking swagger. You will love "All Down the Line" off Exile on Main Street. An album they made hiding from the law in the south of France. I love your show
I might be old, but I got to see all the cool bands live! When the band members of the bands were in their late 20's and early 30's and were on top of their game........usually for about $10 a ticket. There were no cell phones. The stages were pretty basic. The light shows were pretty basic. But the live rock and roll performances from the classic rock generation were legendary. "Bitch" is awesome in the studio, but even better when performed live! Mick's vocals on this one are simply bad-ass!
This is definitely peak era stones!! From Brian Jones fading years where Keith had to do everything till 1974 when Mick Taylor left, they were the Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll band! From then on, they’ve mostly been self parody. Great great live during those years
when you see old live performances you can see the mini horn section waiting patiently for their turn. I can only name one of them. He was Bobby Keys a sax player. And he was with the Stones for a long time.
Man, you guys are so cool. I've been following your reaction vids for a while--easily my favorites. Your appreciation for great music is always there, but you realize there's no need to shout about it: the understanding comes through. Props
The thing about the Stones is that there’s so many things to listen to at the same time in each of their songs. Also, Bobby Keys played sax in some of their songs.
This was one of the first songs where a curse word was very prominent. We high schoolers made a point of singing that part loudly! My best friend Art was a major stones fan! Had a blast learning their library! Chiguy
I saw them perform at the Oakland Colesseum in the 90's twice. Mick was in his early 50's. During the song Honky-tonk Women he went from center stage, which was center field to the upper deck in left field. Then back down across the stage and up the upper deck in right field and then finished the song on stage.
The golden era of the Stones with Mick Taylor on lead guitar
Absolutely.
Actually, this is Keith on lead. In the writing process he established the tempo for the rhythm, but Taylor ended up doing the rhythm guitar for the recording.
Overrated. Mick Taylor wasn't in Aftermath, he wasn't in Beggar's Banquet, he practically wasn't in Let It Bleed. He was in 2 great albums and that's all. How's that the "golden era" of The Stones.

Charlie Watts man kept the Stones at it always.Sadly missed and one of the very best.Big hero
He and Ringo Starr are the backbeat of my life.
When I hear songs from this era of the Stones, I salivate like a Pavlov dog, too!
Me too!
The Stones recorded this at Muscle Shoals in Alabama trying to capture the magic that came out mostly in R and B recordings done there.(Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett) They absolutely pulled it off and more. There is an inexplicable element that comes through in the sound produced there. I think It has something to do with the space, the quiet parts of the song, where you can almost hear the studio, if that makes sense. Listen to Sister Morphine.

Good catch. Thanks I didnt know that. Ben
Sister Moriphine is one scary ass song
Riding with my favorite brothers! This song slaps like a MFer! Speeding ticket for sure when you driving with this thumping in your car! Sticky fingers album is a masterpiece. Bobby keys on sax!!! This was during the stones Apex. Top of the mountain quality stones music!! Just so filthy , another great riff from the open tuning king. Keith Richard's!! I Jimmy Miller I believe was the producer!
I used to eat my gfs clam to this song. Hey ladies , they call me Charloots.
Mick Taylor with Keith. Best Stones riffs. You gotta hear Midnight Rambler off of the live Get Your Ya Yas Out.
Absolutely, heck anything from that album is epic.
ABSOLUTELY !!!! the whole album is killer. Love the version on it , it really kicks ass dosn't it?
Ditto! I love the 'visuals' from that song. Very easy to picture it in my mind. The RS are good at that. Mick was well read, wrote stuff no one else thought about. Influenced by Marianne Faithful's reads. Heavy stuff, not much 'fluff'.. lyrics that made me THINK.☮️
An argument can easily be made that this era of the Stones (with Mick Taylor) was the greatest rock band of all time.
No need to argue...I've always said this was the best Era of the stones, Mick Taylor and the addition of the saxophone just sounds cool!!
Indeed indeed
This one hits hard like their "Heartbreaker." Don't know if you've done that one, but it's a teeth-gritter.
Amen to that! Heartbreaker is absolutely one of their best.
@@jamesm7417
As I read through the comments, I'm reminded that "Heartbreaker" isn't even actually the title.
Hope I get to keep the "Classic Rock" badge on my Angus Young uniform. 😉
Tedeschi Trucks just played Heartbreaker at their concert last week when we saw them. It was fire.
You should literally do the entire first side of sticky fingers. Don't overlook the deeper cuts like The Sway or Moonlight Mile, it's incredible stuff.
Sister Morphine
@@bobguitarlearner8007 Dead Flowers and I Got The Blues as well. They need to do the whole album. Love side A but I'm a deep cuts guy on most albums in general.
The whole Sticky Fingers! Or start with Beggars Banquet and then Let it Bleed and then Sticky Fingers and Exile
Sway is raw dirty gritty like these guys like it.
@@APAL880 Beggar's through Some Girls, 8 great albums in a row.
“Gritty” The perfect description of not only this song but The Stones music as a whole.
Raw
Now you're learning why they are the world's greatest rock and roll band
"Sister Morphine" and "Dead Flowers" are must hear songs from the Sticky Fingers album. "Bitch" is a well known song but people don't know the song by title. You should do the whole album.
The brass in this song just blows me away - still to this day! ♡

Yes, what they think is a trombone or tuba is merely Bobby's tenor sax.
Live - Midnight Ramber, Get Yer YaYa’s Out.

Whilst Jagger is the obvious frontman and lead vocalist for most of the time, I always thought Keith's vocals were an essential part of the Stones sound, whether on backing or taking the lead.
After 50 years of buy Rock music I'm going to finally buy some Rollings Stones music. You two breakdown of the songs and appreciation did it!! Thanks, you 2 rock!!
What kept you from it before?
What ??? Where have you been?
Dirty, gritty and one of the greatest albums of all-time.
I got in trouble at the 7th grade dance because I dedicated this song to my English teacher. Rock on.
Mick Taylor should have gotten a medal for this tune.
That guitar tho.And the horns add a whole other dimension.
Yeah man
I absolutely love Keith’s lead guitar on this tune
That's the horn section on the original recording:

Ladies and Gentlemen the Rolling Stones, is a recording of their 1972 tour for Exile on Main st, it can be streamed its a awesome concert, filmed in Texas. This is one of the standout tunes.
Ok, guys. Glad you like this music. From one older brother to two younger ones, it's great to see the appreciation for music I enjoyed the first time around from way back in the 2oth century.

Add Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd and that is my top 5, with The WHO next...
Can't wait for you Gentlemen to play and react to the Rolling Stones' "Shattered" from their "Some Girls" album. Until then,... *Keep Rockin'!*
Love the horns. It drives the music to higher level.

How come I read 30 comments and none mentioned Charlie? 🥁
Y'all need to seriously do a video review of the documentary Muscle Shoals. It will answer many questions such as when the Stones added horns, who the sax player was, and tons of Motown history recorded in the little town in Alabama
Wait until you guys do some concert videos when the great Lisa Fischer was doing backup vocals. Especially on Gimme Shelter. You'll fall in love with her. 😉😊
Jimmy Miller produced (to answer your question). He started with them on Beggars Banquet and continued through Exile on Main Street.
Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite songs, *_period!!_* Not many reactors include this song.
I still have this album...71 year old man
Looking forward to watching your live Stones reactions. They're at higher level live. Fantastic!
Gentlemen, there's a reason the Rolling Stones has a longevity of 50+ years. I'm glad you're discovering the glory of the Stones.
You need to do “Sympathy for the Devil” soon. Classic!
A different era and style than than the gritty gutter rock that they've been hearing from the band so far, but an absolute genius classic song. Following along with the lyrics is key.
I vote for the live version from Get Yer Ya Yas Out! Better than studio. That whole album is 🔥
Midnight Rambler from same album is a must too
I think they already did Sympathy.
Unbelievably underrated Stones tune.
When the horns come in ....u gotta move your stuff ...😂
My absolute fav. Song from them...i know they have many greats and people would disagree, but i just love it...makes u wanna just move!!!
Bobby Keyes played with The Stones from 1971 - 2014. He met the Stones in 1964. When they decided to incorporate horns in certain songs, they looked no further than their old friend Bobby Keyes. The same horn section featured on Stones albums from 71-74 played live with The Stones. They also played with lots of other bands such as Joe Cocker(Mad Dogs and Englishman) and many others.
The Stones core members usually have some excellent back-up musicians/vocals when they're on tour or sessions musicians when in the studio.
If you want to see the Stones live at their peak, along with some serious horns, check out their clips from their movie about their 1972 US tour - “Ladies and Gentlemen - The Rolling Stones.” My top choice for viewing would be All Down the Line - hands down!
Jeez. U mus b old like me.
Fair play to you.
Leave no turn unStoned.
This entire album (Sticky Fingers) is my favorite. All great songs at their best. Good reaction.
So enjoying your reactions! Glad I can across your TH-cam videos! Definitely appreciate your knowledge of music and your insights. Definitely a fan! Keep up the great work!
Could listen to them endlessly. They're too awesome.😊
This was my jam every morning M-F for 20 years rolling up to the job at the probation/parole department. My exit song for 20 years was Hotel California.
Nah Mick and the lads don't play no trumpet kind of things. they get some Pro's to help out with that." Andy Johns engineer: When we were doing “Bitch,” Keith was very late. Jagger and Mick Taylor had been playing the song without him and it didn’t sound very good. I walked out of the kitchen and he was sitting on the floor with no shoes, eating a bowl of cereal. Suddenly he said, Oi, Andy! Give me that guitar. I handed him his clear Dan Armstrong Plexiglass guitar, he put it on, kicked the song up in tempo, and just put the vibe right on it. Instantly, it went from being this laconic mess into a real groove. And I thought, Wow. THAT’S what he does"
I love the lyrics of this one and the beat and vibe of the song, I just can’t help or resist grooving to it, movin’ around, shufflin’ my feet to the beat!
keep on growing your channel my dudes, gonna be bigger n bigger I bet, fun to watch!
Woooow, now that tune is Old Time Gangster - The Stone were Fire during this time period. Great review, Big Soul Airplay BBeats.
The horns are Bobby Keys(sax) Jim Price(Trumpet & Trombone) Ian Stewart, Jack Nitzsche, Nicky Hopkins on Piano. Billy Preston - Organ
There's an amazing amount of, among other things, James Brown in some of the best Rolling Stones music. And, obviously, the same folks who James drew inspiration from and built upon. See, I get the sense that black folks ended up cut off from the sorts of guys like the Rolling Stones and other Brittish bands who grew up on amazing black music and kept a tradition that wouldn't have existed without its black pioneers going, as well as introduce it to non-american non-black folks all over the world. I love digging into, say, James Brown's work and going "OMG so this is where the Stones lifted this from, and this is where X legendary rock band lifted that from". And I see you guys discover that "OMG this is funky, and omg this is gangsta" while listening to the likes of the Stones or Creedence Clearwater. Makes me feel that the world is a better place, that I have a lot in common and a lot I could vibe with folks on the other side of the world, and we wouldn't even think that we actually get and appreciate a heap of the same stuff.
Also, it's crazy that black folks in the US got cut off from this part of, well, their heritage and cultural contribution. To the point that grown folks even have to discover, say, the Rolling Stones in their adulthood. Meanwhile the Rolling Stones, and their generation of musical rebels themselves were in awe of iconic black artists. To the point that in Europe, we don't usually think "Elvis Presley" when we think "Rock and Roll", we think "Chuck Berry" immediately. And when Keith Richards was chosen as the person to accept Chuck Berry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame he said, I think: "How can I be the one telling this man that he's now allowed in the Rock and Roll hall of fame when I stole everything I ever played from him?" Not to mention that Elvis himself was openly annoyed at how he was allowed to be idolized all over the States while all of his own idols and inspirations - legendary black musicians who he considered way better than he was - were not!
This music is integrative, it connects and shows deep affection and appreciation and respect. So it's maddening that it ever got segregated the way it did, and it's also heartwarming and amazing to see the internet finally desegregating it after all this time.
Sorry for the long-winded text guys, but there's at least one guy on the other side of the world who you've made incredibly happy with all your digging into Rolling Stones, Creedence and the rest. It never was, or should've been, music that was foreign and exotic to black folks. And the artists themselves would've been the first to tell you this.
You got it. Mick and the Boys were never lacking swagger. You will love "All Down the Line" off Exile on Main Street. An album they made hiding from the law in the south of France. I love your show
You played my favorite song. Thank You!!!!!
I might be old, but I got to see all the cool bands live! When the band members of the bands were in their late 20's and early 30's and were on top of their game........usually for about $10 a ticket. There were no cell phones. The stages were pretty basic. The light shows were pretty basic. But the live rock and roll performances from the classic rock generation were legendary. "Bitch" is awesome in the studio, but even better when performed live! Mick's vocals on this one are simply bad-ass!
This is definitely peak era stones!! From Brian Jones fading years where Keith had to do everything till 1974 when Mick Taylor left, they were the Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll band!
From then on, they’ve mostly been self parody.
Great great live during those years
when you see old live performances you can see the mini horn section waiting patiently for their turn. I can only name one of them. He was Bobby Keys a sax player. And he was with the Stones for a long time.
Awesome and underappreciated Stones song. Love it.
damn this rocks! love the Stones. keep on rockin
Man, you guys are so cool. I've been following your reaction vids for a while--easily my favorites. Your appreciation for great music is always there, but you realize there's no need to shout about it: the understanding comes through. Props
The thing about the Stones is that there’s so many things to listen to at the same time in each of their songs. Also, Bobby Keys played sax in some of their songs.
This was one of the first songs where a curse word was very prominent. We high schoolers made a point of singing that part loudly! My best friend Art was a major stones fan! Had a blast learning their library! Chiguy
Such a great song
I still have the original Sticky Fingers album with the working zip on the front that was designed by Andy Warhol.
Keep the stones reactions coming! We love it! Do SHATTERED next!! 👍 👌
Greatest Rock n Roll Band ever 🤘🤘
Angie is another good Stones song.
You're helping me remember old songs.
Love this song it's got everything
Great era for the Stones.
You guys make me love music again. Like I didn't.
Check out Shattered too - they're versatile and their drummer is very distinctive
Sticky Fingers track 6....one of their best high energy tunes (there are so many!!!)
I saw them perform at the Oakland Colesseum in the 90's twice. Mick was in his early 50's. During the song Honky-tonk Women he went from center stage, which was center field to the upper deck in left field. Then back down across the stage and up the upper deck in right field and then finished the song on stage.
You want some hard Stones? “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)” is a great one.
Diggin how ya dug this dudes.
Great to see for a guy like myself in his 70s.
Thank you.
