Brings back so many memories, I watched The Stones on Don Kirchner's Rock Concert when I was 12, and it blew my mind. Who would have guessed they would be around four decades later. And Keith is still alive and well. Awesome!!!
i used to live in S.A. man i'm from down in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas! When i 1st moved to Texas from Chicago i lived in Ingram Park! how's that for coincidence! I also have lived in Austin and Houston when i was younger.... I went to college at SWT in San Marcos also! WOOT! We used to travel to S.A. to the Bonham Exchange club on "STRAIGHT NIGHT" and get fucked up on the cheap booze lawl!
Yeah! Another perfect track..all around.. Listen to them horns!! Then Mr. Taylor steps in w/ another masterpiece guitar solo... da na na- da na na- da na nuhhh...
@sexysixxable they are in front of the ALamo in San ANtonio, Texas, hence the Texas flag and the Confederate flag :p along with the Union Jack of course ;)

@gnr4life23 Geneovese's case proved different from anything described in these lyrics. However, her murder may have helped inspire Clint Eastwood's 1973 Western "High Plains Drifter."
one of the bands from the 60's that still remain pretty much intact as far as members go.Keith kicked his habit and the STONES continue to kick BUTT!!I I'm an old school rocker,proud member of the class of '69'. I'm 59 and still rockin out to all the good ole time bands and music.
Martin Scorsese used Gimme Shelter for Goodfellas, Casino and The Departed, but I think this song would have been better, particularly for that Casino scene.
the killer intro was the very progressive funk electric keyboard sound of billy preston, the only man to record with both the stones and beatles. his big keyboard moment with the beatles was the single get back.
One of the f 'n all-time best songs- ever! There isn't one bad note, part or vocal. Those horns and the doo-doo-doo-doo-doo riff is like a one-two punch to the head-absolutely hooks you in. This song always struck me as one of those moments where, without setting out to make a masterpiece, one was created anyway. The best of Rock and even a bit of R&B mixed together to create one hell of a track! Thanks for posting this!
@menckencynic ...what's amazing is that for the longest time, I thought this was a mid-70's song. That opening sounds a good 5 years ahead of the curve!
@tomovox That's an amazingly astute observation of you. Precisely- it sounds like mod-70's early synth-in-Zeppelin/touring-bands type work. Well called.
@menckencynic - I appreciate that! Reading yours and others comments finally helped me figure out what it is about this song that I always loved and why.
I finally figured out this song... I've heard it so much but never knew who it was... And searching heartbreaker doesn't help because there are about 13 songs titled heartbreaker. Haha.
@greenskeeper3000 Haha. thats not what the flag symbolizes. im not gonna get in a yankee-rebel debate here. but even if he did...hes British, for Christ's sake
This song got a lot of heart, emotion and passion. It`s almost like a folk song, but it isn`t, it`s almost like a blues song, but it isn`t. It`s universal, a song of the people.It`s basically the Stones going, Oh shit! Ain`t that a shame. There`s no preaching, no answer. It`s just,That`s life in a big city, always has been, always will be. The sax and backing vocals are as tough as any loud guitar. It`s very rock`n`roll sounding, tougher than Led Zeppelin. It`s danceable but dark!
