  • keith @ hiz bes

  • Stones are forever! And this is BY VERY FAR the best version of this song!

    Thank you for posting!

  • @GJN2 You're quite welcome. And thank you for the exuberant comment!

  • snoogatrigio, anyone?

  • @spambooty2001 Que?

  • Don't scratch @ my eyeball, Keith! Either do IT OR Don't! Some silly earlie=ness here....

  • as keith would say " it comes from the bones " ...not from a chart or a sheet music book or a teacher with lead ruler ... the 1969 stones are ' from the bones ' and right through your guts ...ended at Altamont...thanks for keeping it alive , at least in spirit and sound....sure glad they recorded these shows...

  • Led Zep Not Many Songs To Dance Too? Unless Your Stoned Off Your Brain? In My Opinion!

  • It's funny, I absolutely hated this song for years when growing up. Now, it's in my top 5, from ANY band. . .And BTW, I'm not putting down the Stones (in other posts), I just happen to LUV Zeppelin. . .I certainly won't criticize anyone who likes the Stones better. A matter of opinion.

  • @Colstonewall I love both bands, and both are in my all time favorites. Zeppelin is currently my #3 and The Stones my current #14. Both have been #1 in the past for me.

  • Comment removed

  • @TomOttantotto  some feedback technically challenged-but still good.

  • Mick Taylor was the best...

  • i have this cd and love it but got burned out just got 73 brussells affair there on fucking fire at that show its hard to say 69, 72 or 73 tour there all really awesome

  • @awhiteman1986 Brussels Affair is a damn good boot, so is Some Satanic Tour, which makes up for a couple of Ya Ya's glaring omissions.

  • Everyone focuses on the incredible twin guitar leads here, but listen and isolate on the best rhythm section in rock and roll. Charlie and Bill lay down a solid foundation. Bill Wyman's bass line is so lyrical it really reflects the inspiration of Paul McCartney and James Jamerson. Also, pay attention at 3:30 to the syncopation of the drum line. Mind-boggling work. Transcendental!

  • JUST AWESOME!!! IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!

  • best Stones song ever, in their long list of greatness. Later generations would harp on the Slash and Axl version as better...it;s like trying to remake a Sergio Leone film...you can do it...but it will never be the same...

  • This song still brings chills to my spine after all these years....

  • Mick Taylor brought out the best in Keith. Keith's leads and riffs here are astounding!

  • @welcome2myhell Agreed all the way.

  • Colstonewall ! You Talk Crap Champ! Wheres Zeppelin These Days?

  • @wejemaru Everywhere, on the wind

  • @wejemaru What meaningful shit have the Stones created since 1982? (or since Mick Taylor left, anyway).

  • @WaltHawtin Expand your horizons, Stones made some great tunes after Tattoo You (especially after Taylor left). Dumbass.

  • @EvilAnticsLive But no great albums, so you both are right.

  • @WaltHawtin immediately, about five albums come to mind. Ronnie may not be the best live, but his studio work is fantastic. I can say the same thing about every fanbois idol Jimmy Page.

  • @wejemaru More legendary than ever. . .They were smart enough to realize when Bonham died, so did their band. . .Anyways, to make a point, the promoters said if they were ever to tour again, it would be the biggest, richest tour in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!! The Stones are always touring, they over commercialized themselves for money.

  • I wore this album out when it came out. Best version, and Midnight Rambler is SMOKIN!

  • 50 years of ROCK AND ROLLING STONES

  • I listen everyday , this music make me happy..!!!~

  • @Yeoman906 I agree. But I recommend adding Hot Chip's 'Over and over ' to one's daily good vibe music regime or Miles Davis's 'Fall' for less-good vibe days (will sort that out beautifully)

  • Always wished Zeppelin woulda composed this song. I luv the Stones, but Zeppelin is the most legendary band of ALL TIME. Every year they become more so.

  • @Colstonewall Everyone listen to this wise person, for they are entirely correct about Zep.

  • @karlmoles65 Why thank you, lol.

  • @karlmoles65 crock of shit - the bands' legacies say it all.

  • @MMRJL Sorry, to what are you referring?

  • @karlmoles65 Ha ha  ha

  • @Colstonewall Don't make me laugh.

  • @EvilAnticsLive Ha ha ha

  • @Colstone Sorry, ace but zeppelin was the most overblown, pompous, boring band of them all. Christ they only played one song you could dance to!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @meBOB60 Yet concert promoters say, if they toured again, it would be the biggest, wealthiest tour in the history of the world. Now that doesn't sound like an "overblown" band to me! Every rock radio station in the US has time set aside EVERYDAY to play Zeppelin!! Keep in mind, they disbanded in 1980. No one else even comes close. And SCREW dancing.

  • @Colstonewall Zeppelin was unquestionably the worst live act of all time. The first album was awesome, though. So was the last when Plant finally stopped screeching like a cat on a fence.

  • @welcome2myhell Yet somehow they managed to break all the attendance records of the time. ???

  • @meBOB60 Ha ha ha

  • @meBOB60 what planet are u from???they were not a dance band. they were a "ROCK" band, and a great one at that

  • @meBOB60 Entirely disagree. Not saying they are better than the stones but they brought a lot of good talent and music, and they were very creative during live shows.

  • radio made Zeppelin popular....and boring.

  • @meBOB60 Then you must have been a pretty shithouse dancer then ! LZ was, and is, a great band .........

  • @Colstonewall lmao, uh, ok. rofl

  • This is the best version.....no question. The Midnight Rambler version off this album is the best version as well, especially the guitar riff's at the end.

  • @kyzrsze I agree, many of the versions from the 69 tour were far superior to the album versions. On the Ya Ya's set I concur that Sympathy and Rambler were the best. But I've never understood why they didn't include Satisfaction and Under My Thumb, as the 69 live versions of both were astounding as well.

  • Best version of this song that I know of. Mick Taylor is so good... took them to a whole new level. They were the best during the era when Taylor was a band member from 1969-1974.

  • just a great live record i have enjoyed for years. to me the stones were at their best with taylor.

  • This is the greatest Rock n Roll song EVER!!

    No conversations or arguments required.

    It just is!

  • This is their only live version people should listen to..

  • Rarely heard but way better than the Studio version of Sympathy,, IMO

  • @TheMasonguitars Totally agreed.

  • @TheMasonguitars rarely heard? Get yer Ya Ya's Out? Seriously? You mad, bro?

  • @welcome2myhell I think he meant rarely 'played' on the radio. I've NEVER heard this on the radio personally.

  • @Colstonewall you probably live near NYC as I do. NYC has the worst radio on the planet, sadly. Goddamned Clear Channel corporate BS, etc.

  • @welcome2myhell Close, in VA. But there is only one decent radio station, and yeah it's clear channel. But it only the best around here, because it the ONLY station that plays classic rock. Hell, I don't even listen anymore (radio).

  • Can we go back 1968 ???

  • @Yeoman906 Well we could, but...........I realllllllllly don't want to be three years old again.

  • @karlmoles65 i see , and I want time machine ha ha ha

  • This is the best live song ever!!!! Rolling stones still on top!!!

  • It just keeps building and building up to the killer double leads of Mick Tayler and Keith Richards.,,,The Stones at their absolute peak here in 1969.It never got better than this,with The Get Yer Ya Ya's Out live album,and The Gimmie Shelter movie of the '69 Tour.

  • @frankty67 The get Yer YaYs Out; Is the greatest live album.....we should know.....lolo

  • @earlfishbigwater No Question Ya Ya's best ever live album.I've heard lots of other whole shows from the 1969 tour and they're good but they don't compare to the flawless,perfection of Get Yer Ya Ya's Out.This album should be the blueprint for perfect,pure,straight out rock and roll.Some people claim The Stones peaked at their 1972 tour,and I won't argue.But for me the '69 Stones were the greatest.

  • 8 people have no sympathy for the devil

  • Pleased to meet you !!!! 

  • @Yeoman906 Hope you guessed my name. 

  • Damn!! I love this song !!!!

  • @Yeoman906 Yew and me both. 

  • im a man of wealth and tast

  • @The408709 I rode a tank, held a General's rank. when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.

  • @karlmoles65

    o yea...haven' a good time.....

    Happy Birday to one of the geatest guitar playes to date MICK TAYLOR .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is the best version ever !!!!

  • @maralbert666 Definitely.

  • You know what..... I feel sorry for satan. Why you ask me? Because of the fact that he's on the path to PERDITION... I wouldn't wish that upon my worst ENEMIEY...... i SWEAR!!!!!!!

  • The Best Band To Ever Bring Us Music.

  • I'm right with you karlmoles65

  • Lmao listen closely in the first few seconds some raspy skank is screaming "paint it black! Paint it black! Paint it black you devil!"

  • @NickyMikeD Oh my gosh! Like...really!?!?!

  • @karlmoles65 yeah no shit

  • Best Guitar solo, ever.

  • @everythingman987

    I am with you.......every member of the band is in timeless synch........it's no differeny than a great movie....book........paintin..­..sculpture.

  • amazing rendition....

    

  • 6 people  need medical attention

  • yes french...and rolling stones fan since 40 years

  • @saxojimi Thought so, haha. And longtime fan here as well. The "alors" gave it away, lol.

  • va dorir alors avec tes gun

  • @saxojimi Izzat...French?

  • Affs... Versão do Guns N' Roses 10x melhor que essa, essa versão é para idosos dormir -.-

  • ok ok anything you say.

  • @ralphcraddock Now if only everyone could be that cooperative...

  • Taylor reels off an amazing solo! No! Keith reels off an amazing solo! No wait! LMAO!

  • Outside of Stairway to Heaven, this may be the greatest rock song ever!!

  • @kbinco You gotta have sympathy for the Devil when you're on the stairway to heaven, or the highway to hell for that matter.

  • @kbinco This is better.

  • THIS WAS MY WEDDING SONG !!

  • @jojowopper So did you marry a devil? Or were you in need of sympathy?

  • @karlmoles65 neither, i married a sicilian woman, she was worst than the devil.

  • @jojowopper Haha, great answer!

  • INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks everyone! I hope Mick Taylor's book comes out soon! Might be well written compared to Keith's. LOL Please send friend invite to me on facebook if you really love the Stones. Jamie Aran Gates, Philadelphia USA Happy New Year All!

  • @MultiFunnyD Keith's book is incredible! Reading it right now.

  • @MultiFunnyD I also read that Taylor had found an existing Stones jam tape and fashioned it into Moonlight Mile, never got any credit, and that made him pretty mad. However heroin addiction, like most drug/alcohol addictions lends one to self-centered-ness, and maybe it was just a clash of super egos!!

  • If you guys are on facebook , Please send me a message for friends. Thanks

  • This is really, really good. I love Mick Taylor and Keith together on this. What happened to Mick Taylor that made him leave the Stones? Would love to know the true story.

  • @MultiFunnyD You and me both, the Stones were at their peak with Mick Taylor in the band I think.

  • @MultiFunnyD he just wanted to leave google on wki very good reading still playing

  • @zanny55 Thanks, guys!! Looks like Mick Taylor is working on a book. I would rather read his than Keith's for now.

  • @MultiFunnyD Mick Taylor was burned out and strung out (on heroin), and felt he wasn't going to survive being in the band. He also felt he wasn't getting properly credited for his contributions to songs, having only gotten only one songwriter's credit (on "Ventilator Blues"). Lastly, Keith could be quite abusive at times, and Taylor was more often becoming the object of his wrath. So Taylor packed it in.

  • @appmanga Hey, thank you for the answer, if you want, look me up on facebook and send me friend invite, OK?? I would love to speak more. It does not sound like a sure thing that Mick Taylor's book will be out anytime soon, but he's the one I want to read about. Your're right, probably he took a lot from Keith, maybe jealousy. Mick was alot younger than the guys. Take care. Jamie Aran Gates Philadelphia, USA

  • @MultiFunnyD He wanted to go out on top, he thought the Stones were in decline and that he would go onto bigger and better things.

  • @setforvol you're out of your mind. He left to maintain his health and get away from the sick lifestyle.

  • Can I get some sympathy?

  • @whatsgoodization You a devil? 

  • @karlmoles65 oh fuck yea..im a devil and i belong to the rolling stones

  • Sound like The Velvet Underground's song Rock and Roll.

  • Watts and Wyman = the solid core

  • @MMRJL Charlie Watts is terribly underrated.

  • @karlmoles65 Not by the band, though. I am just glad that he has always had that minimalist Getsch drum set. A jazzer a heart, but on that small kit he has whacked out and underpinned some of the best r & r ever.

  • @karlmoles65 not by moi.

  • @karlmoles65 Not by Keith!

  • @karlmoles65 so is keith

  • wish I was at the concert :D:D:D:DD

  • @Heliass94 Would say the same, however I was 4 years old at the time and probably would have appreciated a visit from Captain Kangaroo more, lol

  • @karlmoles65 lol 1970 i was 8, but I had a really cool sister...she was 17. She had all the best albums of the day (Hendrix, Janus Joplin, Cat Stevens, Cream ....) she even saw the nightly Led Zeppelin..... (what a cool sister).

  • @cheezhedd Lucky, quite lucky.

  • DAMN AWESOME SOLO!!! yea keith rock that guitar!

  • wooooooo !! lets see those hip hop goofs do that !!

  • Mick Taylor..  A rock star!!!

  • THE BEST CONCERT EVER

  • @BLAESY67 Definitely in the running

  • This song pefectly describes Lucifer. 1st thing he does is ask for you to let him into your life. God can't come in uninvited, neither can Satan. 2nd thing he does is LIE cleverly. "I'm a MAN of wealth and taste." He's a fallen angel, not a man! Then of course he's responsible and involved in all our greatest bloodlettings and orgies of pain and destruction we call wars. Its genius really!

  • @CornerStoned420 Interesting take.

  • @CornerStoned420 The song's title is clear enough huh?

  • @CornerStoned420 Neither one is real they are merely part of an antiquated system of control.We need to take responsibility for our own actions.Incidentally it is true to say however, that religion has had a massive part to play in our ''blood lettings'' .Religion and nationalism are the great killers in mans history

  • @CornerStoned420 Hes not responsible , we are, and we have a choice!

  • @CornerStoned420 it decribes the jews when they kiled christ. when they exicuted the bolshevik revolution. The only presedent to try to end the federal resere got killed Kenedy who ones the fed jews.... The jews and when i say the jews i dont mean all jews i mean a few own and controle this country by the money and media and the lobiest controle.

  • @CornerStoned420 Let me tell you that more people have been murdered in the name of your " god" than in the name of "satan", And what you are saying , just show up that people hear and see what they want to see. Not the true facts.

  • @CornerStoned420 yea holy crap!... way to break it down...

  • @CornerStoned420 -- God doesn't come into someones life uninvited??? huh?? how do you explain the conversion of saul of tarsus?? maybe you should actually read the bibles historical records FIRST before making such stupid statements about what God does and doesn't do. From your comments you seem to know more about satan than God.

  • @spiritparaclete Shut up you Idiot !!!

  • @CornerStoned420 so true. Jagger had very keen view of history for someone as young as he was. It's chilling that in earlier takes of the song... Jagger sings "who killed Kennedy". Then Bobby Kennedy was also killed during the time they were recording this song... so he had to change it to "who killed the kennedys?"

  • Truly fabulous. But then, with Mick Taylor, they really were superb. Amazing to think this is only six years on from their first single. Where do you see such progress now, eh?

  • @molesworth2 It is by far my favorite era for the band. Most of the Taylor era albums are masterpieces.

  • Mick Taylor rocks

  • "Paint it Black you Devil"...

  • for me, this is the most Rock n Roll version of Sympathy, i loveee it, and like everyone else has been saying, LOVE Mick and Keef's guitars, eeeeexcellent performace

  • @graceezzz For me as well.

  • The greatest band ever period

  • @nerdheyhey 1th Greatest, in my all-time Top 500. They almost cracked the top 10.

  • @karlmoles65 What does your top ten list look like ? Just curious.

  • @karlmoles65 Sorry, number 8 should be Yes.

  • Shit that's Good!!

  • Music is not about technical complexity, it's about feeling.

  • @nadurpower Actually it can be about both.

  • @karlmoles65 Well the important thing its that it reaches your soul

  • @nadurpower Now there we agree.

  • @nadurpower 1. Black Sabbath 2. Deep Purple 3. Led Zeppelin 4. Hawkwind 5. Rush 6. Blue Oyster Cult 7. Rush 8. The Doors 9. Iron Maiden 10. Judas Priest
  • Simple music for simple minds.

  • @Natnekker Wrong comments for wrong heads is more like it.

  • everybody here talks about Mick & Keith' s guitars but i think Bill unexpectedly (to me) does a great job in this version.

  • @yepheth The whole band was on fire, no doubt about it.

  • I think Ya-Yas is the greatest live album of all time. (Of course I'm partial to the Stones — the greatest rock n roll band ever) From 3:13, on this is just insane. Mick Taylor is nuts. Jagger is also in fine voice and Keith (aka God) is vintage Keith. "Love in Vain" freakin rocks . . . "Stray Cat Blues" is FILTHY good.

  • @nestor0318 am so with you......they are "the greatest rock and roll band in the world.....Ya Ya's is sublime.

  • @nestor0318 keith richards is a good guitarist, but probably the most overrated of all time.
