Rolling Stones - 19th Nervous Breakdown [Best quality / Original upload] (Aussie TV, 1966)

[airkooled05]

Yes , I recall this on Ed Sullivan . One of my favorite songs ever and one of my favorite performances on Ed

[dfuge10224]

I use to sit in front of the TV at my parents house and watch Ed Sullivan.

He always had the British groups on his show.

Beatles, Stones, DC5, Byrds, Kinks and all the others entertained us and we'd talk about on Monday at high school.

Those were the days.

[blueberries4ever]

Did Brian ever smile? He always looked heavy-laden.

[MrB17FlyingFortress]

the lip synching is off.  Jagger screws up big time. Too busy trying to look cool.

[sauquoit13456]

On this date in 1966 {Feb. 26th} "19th Nervous Breakdown" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it would peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} and spent 10 weeks in the Top 100...

Ranked 62nd on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1966 chart...

1966; a good year for the bad boys, they had four Top 10 records: this one, then "Paint It Black" {#1}, "Mother's Little Helper" {#8}, and finally "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby" {#9}...

[novadrian]

@IFeelFine2011 Well it is the record...miming for a TV show.

[videomaniac108]

That looks like a non-reverse Firebird that Brian's playing, cool!

[1967BillyG]

Brian was pure Rock and Roll cool

[alejandrosuckmy]

Love brian's riff

[markkkkkola]

SOUNDS JUST LIKE THE VINYL

[mothylicious]

poor Brian's looking lost already...

[mercury7945]

Though it s Playback, it s such a great rock song, look at Wyman Bass beating attack at the end!

[SouthcoastContractor]

Um, Paul McCartney SHOULD HAVE QUIT making those horrible WINGS songs long ago . . . The Beatles ended in 1970 . . . the sound died with Lennon's exit

[13RGaun]

you know, i think jagger got even crazier with his stage prescnece when he got older lol

[akajk1]

big fender amp and 7th chords BUT i still struggle to get that high lonesome sound. DAMN, that's good. jeeez, those guys had/have some skills!

[zim1966]

at least they were better at miming than the who LOl watch charlie and listen to the drums this is a canned music and there miming

[shanehenning26]

great song

[cdentand]

Superb footage indeed, but it might be relevant to point out that this is a playback performance.

[SeattleLA]

I just saw the clip of Mick singing the "Spend Some Time Together" little deal on Ed Sullivan show. Wow, it was awkward.

[wildj611]

Brian =a good looking chap,,,am I Right? Prolly better looking than Mick too. Mick was jealous in the early years all the way to '66 because Brian got most of the female and press attention for his looks. It wasn't untill the later sixites when Mick and Keith took over the band more when Mick became the center of attention

[reklessheart]

@wildj611 Brian wasnt a really good looker ,,page boy haircut,several kids who he denied and he liked HITTING women ,,,gimme Keef anyday ;-)P

[RollingOrmond]

@wildj611 Mick was taking attention as early as '64. Clips like this make that obvious.

[wildj611]

@RollingOrmond It was always like that with their TV clips but that was only because Mick was the singer. Ask anyone and they'd say up to 1966 Brian was the center of focus as far as their image, media coverage and interviews were concerned and was obvious in many of their pictures early on. Also known and respected was Brian's instrumental abilities. His slide guitar playing along with mellatron, marimbas, recorder, etc.earned him much respect in the British musical circles

[RollingOrmond]

@wildj611 Mick's wild frontmanship is what distinguished them from countless British invasion bands of the time, and it was his and Keith's songwriting that kept them from being a diminishing blues cover band. Brian had little to no talent in this area, where it mattered the most.

[art4arts8]

hmmmm ...reading all of this Stones bashing..yet I'm sure you can't rhyme off more than 4 other groups on your one handed fingers..that are still strong after so many years...and Mick continues..even if the stuffy hippies of my generation can't get their fingers out of their butts and realize environment changes...yet the old rockers still roll.....then you might as well suck farts outta dead seagulls....

[guyNbluejeans]

Man, were they good or what?

[KellyGreen5555]

@guyNbluejeans The Greatest Band in the Fucking Universe!

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

@guyNbluejeans - YEAH - THEY WERE WHAT !

[RollingOrmond]

How many frontmen ripped off Jagger....countless.

[TheAmazingamerica]

LOL

[terrorfanatikerin]

oldskool <3

[busterbone]

whoa i just peed my pants!

[supertakanashi]

　僕はなんでローリングストーンズが特別好きなんだろう？ミック・­ジャガーがいなかったらこうまではなっていなかっただろう。彼の­ステージでの自由奔放な振る舞い。しかしそれもバックのしっかり­としたサウンドに支えられてのもの。ミック・ジャガーのスター性­とバックの演奏の実力！－両者が見事にマッチしているからだと思­う。またキース・リチャードのヒット曲を作る才能も見逃せないと­思う。

[frank02111]

I wondered if the Gibb brothers werte here. They must off been influenced by them somehow?

[wighto73]

ur father's collecting ways of ceiling tax, u betta stop and look around.......classsic, one of the best ever songs

[grahamw56]

@wighto73 No, it's 'your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax' (in other words, living in the past/out of date).

[neccowaif9]

@wighto73 It's "your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax", you know, what they used before we had adhesive envelopes.

[reginaDeviant]

@neccowaif9 I interpret that to mean he's terribly old-fashioned:)

[rolling422]

lip sync way back....commericalizing talent...sold out long ago

[grahamw56]

@rolling422 . Don't be stupid. They probably had no choice. Really harmed the career of one of the best live bands ever, eh ? MOST bands mimed on TV shows then. I was there, and buying their music.

[rolling422]

@grahamw56 yeah they had to make a buck too...everyones gotta eat, i think they are the best for sure, with longevity to boot, just saying man thats all, when they said they never sold out, just bullshit and i call it no matter...they are not gods, just great musians, obbsessions can blind people, no harm intended graham, just said sumtin

[grahamw56]

@rolling422 First apols for the 'stupid' comment (drunk). True, they were not gods, in fact to us kids they were like US...that's why we could relate to them and their music. The bad boys of the class. The ones your parents wouldn't like. Exciting, risky and rude. That was the buzz. Add to that the songs and the sound....of course.

[johneshuis]

at 1.48 I spot Herman Goering!! He is alive and kickin on the stones :P

[sts44]

@johneshuis

+1000 !!!!

[kolbpilot]

@johneshuis It damn sure does. Even the uniform looks German. Beyond funny. LOL.

[alastairjr40]

Cop supervision.

[THOMAS59ism]

20TH

[comcreature]

No guitar cords (they didn't have remote guitar sensors then), no mike cords. This is mime. I guess everyone back then had to do it to keep the singing and playing errors out of the mix. Hey, look ma, no amps!

[monkeyduk2]

you know rock! Thanks bud!

[Sapphirous1]

Is this my 19th or what - lost count! lol but am still back to bite ya!

[plastilina000]

The history of my life

[Rustina61]

Mick has those "bedroom" eyes, doesn't he.

[gerryhiles]

Am I lucky, or what, to be of the same age as the Stones and to have never ceased to appreciate them ... especially Keef, who has always retained a humble approach ... and Charlie, of course.

[L1S91]

Love the bass at the end of the song!!

[gerryhiles]

@L1S91 Yes that riff is fantastic.

[Rustina61]

I like how all the girls scream when the Stones turn around to face them.

[TheParamountPrincess]

Mop Tops.. :DDDD

[Deathsquad49]

1:37 Was that one of the first guitar hand circles ever done in the world? Did Brian Jones start something we didn't know about ?!

[lapislazuli7]

@Deathsquad49 Ever heard of The Who...?

[Deathsquad49]

@lapislazuli7 It was just a question if that was the first guitar circle, who hasnt heard of the who, and The who came out in 1964, but the rolling stones started in 1963. So either way, Brian could have been the first person to do it. No need to be a smartass

[lapislazuli7]

@Deathsquad49 This is 1966. If you are not interested in answers why ask....

[MissPoitier]

@Deathsquad49 I think so. He was a genius!

[blueticecho]

Golly Gee ! What a cute little song by this nice young men..............

[TheFenderplecre]

i wonder what that cop was thinking?

[7outof9gone]

@TheFenderplecre COPS HATED US ALL AND WE THEM

[ayellowroseforro59]

If the disability companies I am dealing with since my care accident on 2/28 and I haven't recieved on dam disability check yet and to boot they don't want to get off their dam asses and do their jobs. They expect to stt on their asses and have us do their work. NO FUCKING WAY. Or I'm going to have my own nervous breakdown,

[Rustina61]

LOL at the Security Guard's expression at 1:48.

[BillyG800]

@Rustina61 THOSE DARN KIDS AND THEIR ROLL'N'ROCK!

[Rustina61]

@BillyG800 Yeah, those young whippersnappers and their long hair and loud music !!

[deborahcjd1961]

as

A

As much as I would have loved to have been there, there were never gonna be a chance in Hell that this was going to happen. I was only 4 1/2 and thousands of miles away. But thankfully their music lives on and always will live on!!!

[gerryhiles]

The best of the best ... listen to Wyman's bass riff. Magic.  Listen to the deep lyrics.

[bensoquemero]

rock'n rolllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!

[DoctorBohr]

what was with the streamers on Aussie music shows back then? Ghey.

[jdmfonte]

THIS is/was the piece that got all the FCA Mick Jaggers shakin' and quakin and steppin' in Rock 'n Roll time. Throwing arms up and doin' that bandylegged thing that Patricia Thomas (then the Secretary {UK} of the Up 'n Coming Rolling Stones Fan Club)..she called it "The Shake". I did alotta Mick Jagger on Saturday nites at that old FCA dancehall. . Obviously lip synched, just like everything else was, from all save SHINDIG in the US. Seeing Keith jumping around surely indicated they dug it!

[WytZox1]

When I 1st heard this song in the 60s I thought they sang about some wax used on a ceiling. I never heard of SEALING WAX !!! LOL☺

[gerryhiles]

@WytZox1 LOL. I actually used seailng wax a few times. It came as a usually red stick, which you melted.

Dunno about S & G being nerdy, e.g. The Boxer. That's pretty heavy.

[WytZox1]

@gerryhiles -- Actually I like some of S&G's stuff. I only use the term "nerdy" in reference to the obnoxious twits who get too nutso discussing the symbolism of their lyrics. They're as bad as Trekkies! LOL☺

[virgy45]

That switch to the bemused Copper is classic!

[w9x7cv3vg6]

even though I am a top beatles fan,i am mad that the stones are classified lower than them,they should be at the top,cause they wern't pussies and went out on tour for 45 yrs on and off

[WytZox1]

@w9x7cv3vg6 -- Thr Rolling Stones 1st USA TV appearance was on The Red Skelton Show. Red claimed it was b'cuz he wanted a British band with longer hair than the Beatles!

[bettybrown922]

@w9x7cv3vg6 wow. not sure i follow your logic-you are aware john lennon died several decades ago? george harrison's been gone a while. paul & ringo both still tour, though. still, i don't see how one group of men touring most of their life spans while another group of men chose a different path makes either a "insert repulsive misogynistic insult here". how sad your comment is a "top" comment. ugh.

[archaiclonelystar]

incrível!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gerryhiles]

Deep.  Psychology. Alienation. Child abuse.

The Stones are unparalled for combining rock and meaningful lyrics.

[WytZox1]

@gerryhiles -- But don't tell that to those annoying nerdy Simon and Garfunkle fans!

[fmlaker1]

Yes, this is their famous tunder roarring sound so charactreristical for their music at the time that Brian Jones was playing very importan part of them...

[zoldszemu998]

...ha jól számolom. Ami nem jó, mert nem felezhető igazságosan.

[60bup]

Love the rent a cop on this vid LOL_ING

[ableartistasylum]

Love those Stones and the classic lip sync.

[dkd1954]

the security guard was having fun around 1:50 or so.

[Steve915]

The Stones were never really the same after Brian Jones parted. This is the Stones at their best....when they were worth seeing.

[time4action101]

@Steve915 ...... An excellent comment... they should have called it quits while they were 'really' on top... the drugs/sex crap after diminisihed they 'stature' in my book... Oh Well, anything for a buck I suppose...Danny age 58. LA, Calif.

[HammerFist1970]

@time4action101 I totally agree, they should've rested on their laurels many years ago. It's a little embarrassing when they can't seem produce the same quality of music that made them what they are. Here's to great memories of a great musical era!

[RollingOrmond]

@HammerFist1970 You try creating top quality rock for fifty years straight. No one can.

[HammerFist1970]

@RollingOrmond So then you simply stop or cover you're hits. Merry Christmas friend!

[RollingOrmond]

@HammerFist1970 If you're the world's greatest stage act, you don't know how to give up (nostalgia is for Beatles fans). Same to you!

[XRAYJDAVIS36]

@Steve915 Brian Jones reminds me of Sid Barrett of Pink Floyd.....its like he set up a brilliant idea and then checked out.....then the rest of the guys ran with it. Albeit they left their creation in completely different ways. Probably a little more animosity with Brian and the Stones than Sid and Floyd.

[inn7516]

That number still blows me away every time I hear it!

[dogstar7]

Here it comes...December 8, 1965, forty five years ago, The Rolling Stones recorded their ninth UK single ‘19th Nervous Breakdown’ at RCA studios in Hollywood, California.

[axxellein]

..Stones toured Australia in early 1965 & Jan. 1966...Great clip..Super song!

[skeletonkey6]

This is great. It is really live, isn't it???

[harwicke]

@skeletonkey6 No. Lip sync.  Check out the live version they do on the album "Got Live if you want it" That fast version is awesome.

[dontdovideos]

you have all forgotten the faces of your fathers

[Highland804]

Love that bass riff Bill Wyman does at the end.

[TheNewfairytale]

Super Video



[tazrulz68]

this is what my Mom used to call one of my sisters LOL

[Die7Katze]

19th. nervous breakdown was recorded in 1966, therefore Australian tour was in 1966

[caz4777]

@Die7Katze Ah, yes. They came back for a second tour in 1966. So this would be the Bandstand special of the 17th of February 1966 that went to air on the 20th of February 1966. Bandstand was a programme on Channel 9 at Willoughby.

[caz4777]

Yes it is Australian television. I recognised the uniform of the man at 1:48. It's Metropolitan Security Services. They used to guard my father's business. One thing though. The Rolling Stones toured Australia in 1965 not 1966.

[kickassfan]

great,thanxs Stones

[g600600]

1:47 even security was converted.

[Wilthomer66]

@g600600 He was just smiling while daydreaming about giving them a kicking after the show..........

[g600600]

0:47 even security was converted. 

[therealraybaby]

I thought about this song quiet often while I was in jail for 54 solid straight days. Away from my family, children, friends & life in general. I kept wondering if i was gonna crack & have a breakdown because I notice that my body was getting very weak & my mind was heavily stressed & unsettled. I literally felt like I was in HELL. Satan was the justice system, the prosecutors were his demons & that wretched cell was the abyss pit that bound my flesh without escape. Fortunately I made it! :-)

[milcah]

fantastic...... thanks for posting

[lee57]

Live in Australia?
