[spacewithace1997]

all you haters should just leave the stone fans here to bask in the glory of gods

[FaerieCrone]

@spacewithace1997 Well said!

[jokport]

First TOTP I watched in glorious colour. They did Bitch that night too?

[kewlfonz]

Sex on legs—nuff said...

[doggieman1961]

wow what an entertainer

[MannyMUC]

Only the vocals are live, but the Stones are great anyway

[rcflybry]

Oh yeah! Keef and Mick Taylor!! You couldn't ask for a better setup than that while running lead vocals. Mr. Jagger you have to admit that those two deeply contributed to the fame of the Stones!

[mattobrien88]

@rcflybry Oh yeah. Charlie said that mick taylor was far and away the best solo guitarist the stones ever had.

[DarthVaderLovesYou]

The Best

[Poopaloo55]

Wanted to see The Stones live since '70. Finally got the chance in Toronto at the concert following SARS...Mick can still strut...amazing!

[Poopaloo55]

Glorious!

[Roachenator]

mich jagger best frontman ever

freddie mercury #2

[FaerieCrone]

@Roachenator And ya know what? Fred would have agreed with you!

[stercoraniste333]

When I saw the Rolling Stones with dancing Mick in Germany in 1976 I didn´t look at girls for weeks. He had the most divine arse.

[rbkpetroleo]

Great!!!

[dsfddsgh]

There is only one Mick!!

[alanbmx321]

Rock and Roll at its best!!!! Anyone actually like that crap that was the Superbowl halftime show this year. Someone build a time machine quick before music is lost

[rockerbox1973]

@alanbmx321 i got a time machine if you want one mate!

[neorich59]

" At least he's fun to watch and not the boring shit we see live these days."

Quite, who cares how he dressed, he was one of the original great front-men, has many, many imitators, if you doubt this, watch "The Hives."

And, there's the little deal of having co-written 20 or so of the greatest, most iconic rock songs ever, along with possessing one of the greatest, most iconic singing voices with which to put them across!

The stuff will be played so long as there machines to play it on!

[stercoraniste333]

Here the Rolling Stones are celebrating the Day of Purity.

[teasedboy]

Has anyone else noticed that the text attached to this video says that the Stones recorded the song in 1969 but that it was written in 1970? Jest wondrin'

[macmaghnusa]

I believe the sax is sonny rollins. if it is, they should've had on the stage with 'em, not a step down...

[swiggy58a]

@macmaghnusa Wrong! The sax is the great Bobby Keyes; with the band since 1970 or so. Sonny Rollins bit on "Slave" was just a drop-in, jam kinda thing.

[macmaghnusa]

@macmaghnusa

Right, Bobby Keyes on the recording, but that ain't him in this video, is it?

[domnal]

Gawd - Keef actually looks like a human being in this !!

[TVC15ohoh]

One of the things that's particularly cool about this video is it captures Mick while he still actually SANG in concert as opposed to what he's been doing mostly for the last 30 years, and that's yelp. He doesn't clip the notes and sing as though he' d already sung it 1,000 times, which of course he ended up doing. But here at least he was stilling SINGING. And still very handsome and sexy.

[fmaykall]

mi grupo favorito lo he logrado ver 3 veces super grupo de los 60 70 los amo

[theechameleon]

Classic stuff - the Stones invented all that 'bad boy' rock n roll thing. I can tell you categorically that Keith Richards hated the music of that time - glam rock - and he hated Marc Bolan calling him a 'jumped up little prick' How do I know this? I actually met and talked to Keith way back in the early 70s when the Stones were in London mixing one of their albums. He was in a nightclub in Soho with a load of hangers on and I was very lucky to be in the right place at the right time!

[TheSTONEWALL1956]

Very good, The Rolling Stones continue to play well without Brian Jones too.

Mick Taylor is as good as Brian Jones, more or less.

[ZeRapaz]

Thanks for sharing this!

[cupX]

1971.......25/12/2010 FANTASTIC 

[norjop]

I always hated the fake playing. Jagger is actually singing live. But the drummer shots are silly. Charlie Watts is not keeping time with the cymbal splashes.

[MrCeej9999]

What an outfit Mick. I salute you

[swimologist8]

Jagger is lip-syncing to the studio song. You can tell because at 1:01 and 1:06

Bill Wyman doesn't hit a cymbal, though you hear one. Plus is you look, the cymbals aren't miked at all, and there would have to be a mike somewhere close to get that sound. Plus the sax player isn't Bobby Keys, but he plays the solo note perfect. There is no difference at all. Impossible to do. So this is all fake except Mick's singing.

[rpm451]

@swimologist8: Bill Wyman was the bass player, so it would be kind of odd for him to be hitting Carlie Watts' cymbals. It was pretty rare at that time for bands to be allowed to play live when appearing on TV shows. Usually it would only be the vocals that were live (sometimes not even those). There were exceptions, but it was just faster & cheaper for the shows to do things that way - the bands didn't have much say in the matter. Btw, "lip syncing" would mean that he *wasn't* singing live.

[ivanrollingstone]

great

[5InAnotherLand5]

The sound is ideal, to tell the truth.

[shimokita2]

Eric Clapton was going to join the Rolling Stones?

[MrCeej9999]

@shimokita2

Clapton, Butler, Bruce, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart, Keith Richards were all part of the same London R+B scene in the early 1960s.

Ronnie Wood ended up playing with both Stewart and the Stones, but they were all a (musically) close bunch.

I doubt Clapton would have joined the Stones, as he was a soloist. Stones guitarists just play very complicated rhythm guitar.

But, if anything ever happened to Mick, I bet Rod Stewart back then would have been the first person they asked

[MrCeej9999]

@shimokita2

Rod Stewart/Jagger and Wood/Richards were very similar artists back in 1971.

Both influenced each other

[shimokita2]

@MrCeej9999 - I thought Richards didn't like Rod Stewart. True?

[davidgbarron]

@shimokita2 I guess he was considered when Brian Jones and then Mick Taylor left, but the BBC did not do their research very well. The version of Brown Sugar that he appeared on was recorded on December 18th 1970 with Al Kooper on Piano, and it would have been Keith Richards' twenty-seventh birthday. This was more than eighteen months after Mick Taylor joined, and more than a year after it was recorded at Muscle Shoals.

[RussianBear05]

best single ever, yes ever

[j1nt3tsu]

This song is special to me lol I think its pretty easy to guess why

[honjo21]

Say what you want..  The Rolling Stones are rock n roll...... WIthout Mick or Keith rock n roll would be just love, I want to hold your hand nonsence. Mick and the boy will roll into your town to burn it down.

[SirBrianCabrera]

mick is SO ugly, but he gets so many girls. and hot black girls. 

[RussianBear05]

mick jaggers performance here is top notch. better here then on studio.

[HawkwindMaster]

Even dressed up like a kiddyfiddling ice cream man, Mick manages to exude what is universally referred to as "Rock and Fucking Roll".

[RobFace10101]

Everyone stop fucking slating mick, "He can't dance or dress himself" Is all I ever hear. Take it for what it is. The dude is fucking awesome. He's so rock n' roll. And so are the band. At least he's fun to watch and not the boring shit we see live these days.

[shaxebeer]

@RobFace10101

You are Soooooooooo right!

[RobFace10101]

@shaxebeer

Don't I know it ;D hahah

[whitbyjet65]

@RobFace10101 I agree. Jagger was never trying to 'dance', He was a strutter....a rock n' roll frontman. Too many X Factor fans making comments in here.

[MrCeej9999]

@RobFace10101

He's also an unbelievable singer. No modern guys could rip it out like a 1970s jagger did.

So much passion, and energy in the voice.

[ROCK1910]

@RobFace10101 good call brother the rolling stones are awesome i think he dresses pretty cool and i enjoy the entire band 100% keep the greatest rock band coming to the usa .keep me tuned brother

[tonyfrombalt]

@RobFace10101 well said.

[Widmerpool99]

@RobFace10101 Quite right. But Bill Wyman, he's a cunt.

[98jsbx98]

@RobFace10101 Yeah he's awesome I agree, but what does his cock taste like?

[harvey1954]

Good old Billy Wyman, the only adult male to play a Fender Mustang Bass onstage and live to tell the tale.

[ppetracco]

Good god, could the lead singer be dressed more ridiculously?

[jaystarstar]

@ppetracco

i agree, this band will never make it big.

[grimmmammoth]

@jaystarstar laughing my ass off

[mrtropicalpuppy]

@jaystarstar come on man the rolling stones are the best fucking band in the world

[MexicanChamp1000]

@jaystarstar They already did and still are. What are you talking about?

[captaincomputa]

@ppetracco It was cool at the time

[superpos]

@ppetracco

Yes...because HE just could!....

[dsfddsgh]

Man Mick is so ugly. LOL But cool as hell.

[wwilson786]

Every live performance from the first performance of the song at the infamous Altamont Speedway in California in 1969 to Australia in 1973 sounds different. Not necessarily better, not worse. Just different. Personally, I prefer their live sound of this song especially on the 1972 tour.

[wwilson786]

I love the video... But if you listen even relatively closely, you'll notice that everything besides Mick's singing is very close to the studio version of the song on Sticky Fingers. In fact it's identical. That's because it's playback. The only person performing live in this video is Mick.

[ekaminar]

Gotta love the choo choo dance at the beginning. Hahaha, sweet moves Mick.

[techon707]

Thank you for posting the entire series!

[redlinechavez]

Haha is Keith playing a transparent guitar?

Thanks for uploading this in High Quality. This is so cool!

[1985MANAmericana]

@redlinechavez Yes, he is. It's quite a heavy guitar.

[ToastmachineIdiot]

@redlinechavez

Yep, it's a Dan Armstrong guitar.

[Millieex33]

loooooooove this!

[WoodRatGirl]

Gimme me some brown sugar indeed!

[pabloplacenti]

[mojokitty66]
