Yes…Absolutely… All the talent involved… Keith and Charlie… Jimmy Miller is such a genius..😊 Bill shreds… Mick shreds on harp and vocals… But let’s PLEASE say a word about Nicky Hopkins… He is such a great keyboard player… He just jumps in and absolutely Rips..!!! RIP Nicky…Mick and Mary… All Time🎉
... to be honest it was probably Richards. In most vid.s of the Stones in the studio around this time you see Jagger & Richards busy working the song out, Charlie waiting for instructions, Jones staring into the distance, off his face and Wyman sitting on a stool looking bored ! Oh and Hopkins adding something cool, at the piano.
how could any lead vocalist not just destroy it with background vocals like this, OMG, yea that's enough to carry even the worst of lead vocals.. WoW when she takes off in the chorus that's when the arm hair stands up ... if she didn't lay down an absolute clinic of backup vocals there I dunno if anyone ever did?..
A intervenção da Merry Clayton nos vocais foi fundamental para a exitosa complexidade dessa canção - uma das maiores dos Rolling Stones. Para mim, é óbvia a inspiração - beirando o plágio - que o Pink Floyd fez 3 anos depois no Dark Side Of The Moon, utilizando uma cantora convidada - Clare Torry - exatamente para surtir o mesmo efeito em "The Great Gig In The Sky".
After trying it i am pretty sure Keith used open E tuning on this. That"s why the neck of that cheap semiacoustic he used also broke at the end of the recording, the stress of open E tuning was too much for it. On open E tuning that riff and rhytm part sounds exactly right.
Nice! With open G or D one tunes down (slacks the strings). With open E one would tune up and increase the tension! I'd heard the guitar fell apart just as he finished and harp players are STILL arguing over which key harp Jagger used. Web is FULL of disinfo (''Jagger used a chromatic harp''- wrong!) or (worse!) a C# minor (yeah, those weren't even being made back in '69). Good call.
@@HJsCorn909 I'm not referring to the fact that there is harmonica on the song but that the list of performers in the video description lists Lee Oskar on the harmonica.
@@HJsCorn909 I misread it then, I thought the reference was to Lee Oskar, the virtuoso harmonica player. Mick must have gotten a very early preproduction model as Lee Oskar Harmonicas wasn't founded until 1983.

Clayton's vocals (isolated) so haunting. Amazing.
The music breakdown really shows the effort that went into this song and the creativity of the Stones.
And a hypnotic sound as well.
Keith Richards is a beast of a guitar player
Miller was the GOAT producer
Best Bass work by Bill ever!
underrated
@@jonathanbeatrice8317
'Underrated' by whom exactly.?!! 🤣
Jimmy Miller was such a fantastic asset to bring out so much Stones flavour.
My favorite song of all time, and your best one yet. Thanks for doing these!

You get to hear what a great bass player Bill Wyman is, it's nothing like anyone else would play

@@bristolfashion4421 it was bill wyman, as per what’s on google.
Yes I don't always appreciate basë but that was amazing and put the backbone on gimmie shelter
@@bristolfashion4421 thats not keith, its too flash
@@bristolfashion4421 that's not Keith, its too flash
Merry offered a thousand percent on this one!
I must say Bill deviates from his usual style and takes a lead approach. Excellent.
Great bass
If Nicky Hopkins played guitar, he would have been a Rolling Stone. He should have been, he was on their best songs.
O melhor trabalho do Bill Wyman no baixo.
This is really useful! Thank you for your time and effort!
Jagger on fire here
Great reverb on the vocals like they are in a tunnel singing.
the bass was a big part of the over all power of the stones music..
These are absolutely brilliant thanks,
A perfect song in every way.
Bass line reminds me a little of Motown/Jamerson. Deep groove.

This is really helpful. Thank you.
Brilliant

Billy Wyman is arguably the most underrated bass player of anyone ever!
No ones ever sung it better than Merry Clayton.
Nadie....
deconstruting all famous rolling stones song please.

I think that's been confirmed - Open E

Wasn’t it a Maton? Not cheap.
In the 2012 NPR radio interview, All Things Considered, Mick said he played harmonica on this song. Was he misremembering?
No you can hear the harmonica on the song. Mick played it before Keith's solo and some short phrases at the end of the song
@@HJsCorn909 I'm not referring to the fact that there is harmonica on the song but that the list of performers in the video description lists Lee Oskar on the harmonica.
That’s the name of the brand of harmonica

You can hear Keith going woo hoo! During merry Clayton’s rape murder section because he was so impressed
Sounds more like Jagger's voice to me.
Yeah, Jagger, the movie 20 Feet From Stardom covers that subject.
It was jagger
Mick
What amp did Wyman use?
Ampeg SVT
Where's Mick Taylor ... ?
Hadn’t joined yet
Joined halfway through the album. That's why he's only on two tracks.
Down at the pub throwing back some cold ones 🤓
Taylor only played an overdubbed rhythm on Live With Me & some acoustic on Country Honk, I think?!
Got more involved for Honky Tonk Women.
No Mick Taylor on this one?
Nope, just Keef
Mick Taylor was only on Country Honk and Live With Me on this album. All the other guitars were Keith Richards, including the slide parts.
This track was already in the can before Taylor joined.
@@chriscampbell9191 Ry Cooder on several tracks
@@michaelrochester48 Cooder played mandolin on Love In Vain, no other appearance on this album I am aware of. No slide, anyway. Cooder played slide on Sister Morphine and the Jamming With Edward sessions.
Brian was on the outside to his drug problem… M Taylor had not joined yet… Brian was passed out on the floor when he even made it into the studio☠️
