The Rolling Stones - Waiting On A Friend - 2005

[fenderblaster21]

I agree dude. Rockin/roll keep it alive

[Sentinel04]

A reminder how horrible recent music is. Kesha? Gaga? Without auto tunes and other computer programs, they are mediocre. These guys made great music with regular voices and instruments.

[sleep4]

I agree

[815robbie]

that is why they are the greatest rock &roll band period

[TheOldcountryboy]

kinda wierd to see mick playing a guitar live

[msallehuddinsoeb]

@TheOldcountryboy yes..because mostly he compose song on a guitar with Keith on studio..but because he is so energetic on stage..it would limit his move with a guitar...plus..they have Ron Wood

[khingdheano]

Considering the depths to which live performance of popular music has sunk, this is a masterpiece. No choreography, no Autotune, only what? A real band, playing a great tune, live.

From Wikipedia -" It was first played as early as 1970, when Mick Taylor first joined the group and was recording with Mick Jagger in London. Recording on "Waiting on a Friend" began in late 1972 through early 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica, during the Goats Head Soup sessions when the band still had Taylor as a member. His guitar piece made it to the overdubbing sessions in April 1981 when the song was selected by Tattoo You producer Chris Kimsey as one the band could re-work for the album."

@sleep4 this band is nothing without Mick Taylor!

[sleep4]

Au contraire - this song was written many years before it was recorded and the guitar part was written and the tracks laid down by Mick Taylor before he left the group. It was recorded using (mick's tracks) many years later for the Tattoo album. Look it up!

[thebeststickyfingers]

Brilliant

[kuriabraham]

"Waiting on a friend" was from the 1981 Tattoo You album and Mick Taylor was long gone by then.

[agorachief]

great song! ugh...this version

[sleep4]

The problem is that Mick Taylor played the main guitar part on the original and that's hard to duplicate.

[JOEZEPPI1968]

@sleep4 mick taylor left in 75 ron wood replaced him

[maeusesheriff]

I am one of their biggest fans and have been for 35 years so don't jump at me when i say this is a terrible version of a great song

[rafaultimate69]

[jagger072643]
