  • This so wierd.....in August 1967 our garage band from Brooklyn recorded a demo at Bell Sound Studios in NYC....I still have the master tape in my music library......there is a pix of a 45 with Bell Sound Studio......that day in the Studio at 17 years old was unforgetable....the recording was pretty cool too....could only afford 3 takes.

  • Thi reminds me of my first husband, my REAL husband and our little children and our best friends. One of us out of the 4 is dead now. our olest children are now 40 yrs. old, and I so miss the old days. I am alone now. Blow away Dandelion.

  • Not getting into any arguments but The Lantern is brilliant. Loved it for 22 years now. End of.

  • @Kelly14UK Naw...no arguments! This is an open forum of opinion...all are welcome and respected.

  • @musicaldun1 The Lantern reminds me of the sun setting in the west in the middle of the Meditteranean in the middle of winter. It's very personal. Brian's mellotron does it : )

    all the same time, dandelion.

    honey badger don't care about the time!

  • A masterpiece from a bygone era in which human beings displayed extraordinary musical competency.

  • Thanks for all the old pics!

    Apparently, one person got blown away.

  • @tubefluid Just One???

  • This song should've been included on Between The Buttons since it was recorded during those sessions in late 1966. It would've been great to substitute some of the weaker tracks there

  • It's a great song, but I wonder how many heads immediately went out and smoked dandelions!

  • i too think the Stones were absolutely,,second place to the Beatles...as did everyone and anyone who lived in those days,,such as i. BUT i LOVED how raunchy and raw the Stones were compared to such a highly polished act as the Fab 4. so many songs the Stones did,,paint it black, ruby tuesday, spend the night together,,on and on..BUT here's the killer..Brian Jones's influence. when Brian left,,the soul and sound of the real Stones we all loved....the music started to falter badly. ***Brian.RIP.

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 i would agree except mick taylor brought a whole different sound.. and those albums were great..after he left, then they faltered badly

  • @feeeball ...mick taylor...was never considered a 'real' rolling stone.

    its painful to watch him interact with them on film...he just did not fit within that original 'psyche'

    he was a need to try and find some real 'Blues' that richard and jagger always yearned for,,,(example,,hiring marshal chess)...but i respect your feeling. it just a simple fact for me and the quaility of their writing..no more brian,,no more soul..for the stones.

  • @CHUCKLOVES1969 yeah i know but, let it bleed, sticky fingers, exile on main street, waiting on a friend(which was a mick taylor song added to the album years later after it was recorded)..........alot of heavy, heavy stuff in there. i get what you mean though.....brian jones made them more like the beatles...cant go wrong with either phase.......................

  • @feeeball the stones,,NEVER were like the beatles musical with or without brian's strong influence. they never wanted to be the beatles,,,they DID,idolize them,,,like the rest of us. now u mention..let it bleed in regards to mick taylor?..he played on one forgetful song. that album has/had the last gasps of brains hard influence all over it. sticky fingers ?w/taylor..is the last GREAT Stones album. and Exile is an over-blown try that has 3 good songs out of what 30?...Brain WAS the Stones. Peace

  • @feeeball I agree with both of you. When Jones left the band's sound changed, though that would have happened anyways with Jagger, Richards as the writers carved out their own niche after the hippie thing. They lost the adventurousness when he went but gained their sound when Taylor joined. Taylor was the right guy at the right time and contributed greatly to the sound and made it classier. A great player with great phrasing & tone. Yeah when he left they went downhill but still a great moments

  • 1 person thinks dandelions don't make you wise

  • what a great song this is

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!....want to know some juicy gossip about dave wyman they dare not print in the magazines.....go to "i see red jimeapg" and read my 3 comments. regards.

  • No Way!!!!!!Santanic Maj,is great as it is!Just smoke a joint or begin your trip with that(satanic maj.)FAR FUCKING OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • beatles - bay leaf

  • MADONNA BESTIA,CAGNACCIO DI CRISTO,DIO BASTARDO,MALEDETTO GESU MOSTRO,CANE DI DIO.

    SBORRO.

  • during the period of the late sixties to the early 70s, there was no other band greater than the stones, Consider Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street. The amazing singles and albums during this prolific period dwarfed any other group. They were just amazing in their quality out put.

  • @carrier3232 Agreed! I actually add Satanic Maj. to the list. If this song and We Love You (recorded during the same sessions) would have replaced The Lantern and Gomper, I think a lot of people would.

  • Comment removed

  • @musicaldun1 good point,although "Satanic" suffers from the aspect of it being considered by many to be an attempt to copy "Sgt. Pepper'. The subsequent albums stand alone as cementing the Stones as the worlds greatest rock band during this period.

  • @musicaldun1 I was just a kid when I was exposed to Satanic Maj, and... aughhh..... just to hear The Lantern or Gomper or anything else, including the bells of Big Ben (i assume) at the beginning of The Lantern, brings me right back to that time, which is beyond awesome. As far as the songs go, they rocked then as they do now. So many of my friend's kids are getting into 60s and 70s music, and it just warms my heart.

  • @musicaldun1 no way The Lantern is great. I agree with Gomper getting chopped along with Sing this together or On with the show. Both are stupid

  • @genericgeorge Funny how opinions differ. I love On With The Show and don't care for The Lantern. I guess that's why they're both on there!

  • @musicaldun1 does this mean were in agreement on sing this all togther(reprise) should be scrapped in favour of this?

  • @musicaldun1 I agree with you. The Lantern and Gomper were very replaceable with We Love You and Dandelion. They also shoulda constructed Sing This All Together (See What Happens) better.

  • @EvilAnticsLive Cool! The five bucks is in the mail...lol

  • @genericgeorge On With the Show is awesome! Though Sing This All Together (See What Happens) is just a horrible acid trip.

  • @musicaldun1 The Lantern is ok for me, I would have replaced Sing this all together (see what happens)

  • @carrier3232 Sir, I share the exact sentiment----it was during that period that I became, and still am, a huge fan of theirs.

  • I do love the Stones, but calling them the greatest band ever is kind of overdoing it. The Beatles ruled the studio in the 60's and The Who was the greatest live act from the mid 60's to mid 70's. Gotta give the Stones props on longevity, though.

  • @TuberOnTheLoose 'Greatest' is in the ear of the beholder. My vote would go to The Beatles, but there are those that would vote Stones, or Who, or Zep, or Floyd...etc. There's probably even someone out ther that votes for Barry Manablow for Chrissakes!

  • @TuberOnTheLoose You certainly have an argument with the Beatles, but please don't say the Who in the same sentence with the Rolling Stones in the context, as their catalog of music by comparison is a joke (because it's on the skimpy side).

  • There's a rumor that Paul MacCartney sings the backing vocals in this song. I think that's true.

  • @caleu0709 That issue has been discussed fairly extensively in the previous comments. Best I can figure, Paul and John both helped.

  • I dont think MOST people. but what do I know.......or they...I am a Stones fan and always haue been. I particularaly like keith......I am also almost their age... a few years youger......mach nicht or something like that !!

  • GORGEOUS!!!!!

  • It's definitely got a "She's A Rainbow" vibe...this is one of those mid 60's gems that i heard as bumper music on talk radio a week ago and it's been stuck in me head since...not a bad thing at that.

  • certain songs say all truths before any questions are but a pooh

    that certain crook in the mouth

    timeliness bells of the balls

    and the rudiments and the tritants and the whims of delicate sensory things innocence lost prince or pauper, philosopher or plowmen?

  • Ok, why does a friend of mine insist this is about satanic child sacrifice????

  • @segersystem ..... Because your freind is right ^_____^ , its also about How LSD is used to control peoples minds

  • OMG

    

  • @hilvldruid C+...too wordy. (Well put.)

  • The Stones are the Stones...the Beatles are The Beatles, and the Beach boys are The Beach Boys.....No one is "Better" than anyone else. They are all GREAT......And DIFFERENT.......

  • @karmicsin1 Most will disagree with that statement.

  • I said it before but, The Rolling Stones will neuer cease to amaze me !!!

  • @karmicsin1 Genius band like no other!

  • Exactly 22 years since I bought this on a second hand copy of Get Stoned.

  • DANDELION DON'T TELL NO LIES. DANDELION WILL MAKE YOU WISE. TELL ME IF SHE LAUGHS OR CRIES. BLOW AWAY DANDELION.

  • glad you timeless limey invasion lasted til 2011

  • Lennon & McCartney are doing harmonies on this song.

  • This song is highly suspicious, with references to Tuesday Weld!

  • @420CHEMDOG So is anyone with 420 and CHEM in their title! LOL

  • @musicaldun1 Your either an agent or a idiot. LOL

  • @420CHEMDOG ...agent. LOL

  • i love it  !!!!!! keith richards à appelé sa fille Dandelion en honneur à cette chanson !! :) the rolling stones for ever !!!!

  • THE SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE....

  • Bill & Charlie are rich and have relatively no Stones writing credits, especially Charlie. Brian was rich, for his day and could have remained wealthy. He probably would have spent a lot more on drugs anyway and would have died sooner or later

  • Dandelion is a superb and very underrated single, strangely relegated to a B side some eight months after it was originally recorded

  • @TheKenfig I heard it differently and did a Wiki to check, but I believe it was originally the B-side. When it charted higher than We Love You it effectively became the A-side.

    ...and you're right. A superb single!

  • @musicaldun1 Yes, unequivocally the B-side of 'We Love You' , at least in the UK where I come from ! If youre from the U.S. it would have charted seperately even though it was on the same piece of vinyl ; not so in the UK

  • **************** Great Song from a great Band!!!

  • The french horn sounds are so Shocking Blue (The band that gave us "Venus" of course)

  • Lol -this is when they got seriously into acid - should've stuck with it, 'cos they got really boring afterwards..

  • RIP Brian, Mick and Keith are rich because of you

  • @geeksgaloremarmora I'm sorry Brian died so young and I am a fan of his work, but ultimately he killed himself ; he was an emotionally unstable character and the extent of his drug use exacerbated that 100 fold and his personality always alienated him from the rest of the band because apparently he could be childish and arrogant and spiteful to everyone.His post mortem revealed dangerous effects of over indulgence, like excessive 'fatty liver' & enlarged heart ; only 27 ! - he couldnt go on long

  • If they only had done stuff like this longer before rocking back! Still some of the best stuff they did and better than anyone but the Beatles for the abstract.

  • I guess I am missing something, wasn't Brian Wilson with the Beach Boys?

  • @bassbob42 Brian Wilson wasn't just with The Beach Boys, he WAS The Beach Boys! All this talk should be about Brian Jones.

  • I agree. Love the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson, but this is the STONES!

  • @musicaldun1: Bullshit. The Beach Boys were a band and a team effort. Carl, Dennis, Al, and Mike were essential elements in their sound. Been listening to the Beach Boys since I was three. They are my favorite band. Still have all the LP's from many, many years ago. Go fuck yourself.

  • @Raughwe Yeah, but do you have an opinion? You made me laugh. I'm not going to argue with you, in fact...I agree. Someone was confusing B. Jones with B. Wilson. I overstated. I meant that the songs wouldn't exist without Brian. It took all of 'em to create that magic sound, I agree. I am a huge fan. As far as going to fuck myself? I'm not that big...or detachable.

  • @Raughwe  so..musicaldun1... if you won't fuck yourself... will you allow raughwe to fuck me?

  • @bultaco111: Based on your writing skills and favorite videos, you don't need any help with that.

  • They tried but only The Beatles can be The Beatles.

  • @menoziinrevoltado I absolutely agree that The Beatles are, and always will be #1...but I do put these guys in the #2 spot.

  • I said that because of the "this song could be on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album" comment. If you know The Beach Boys and the type of sound The Beatles was looking for in 1967, you can clearly tell the difference between this single and that whole record. I could write a lot on that but you got my point already. Let me just add this: this song fits in S.P.L.H.C.B. as much as "Good Morning, Good Morning" by The Beatles themselves.

  • @menoziinrevoltado This song could 'fit' on Sgt Peppers? Haha! No way.

  • @musicaldun1

    I´m positive that it is the other way around.

  • @stercoraniste333 There seems to be a bit o' controversy, so I did some research. Best I can figure, it depends on which side of the pond you're on. We Love You was released as the 'A' side in Britain, while Dandelion was released as the 'A' side in the U.S.

    ...maybe?

  • @stercoraniste333 If you watch the We Love You video that I made, it shows two pics of different picture sleeves. Both of them show We Love You as the A side.

  • Everytime I hear this Song I Fly so High In the Sky that I feel I touch the Clouds.

  • Haven't listened to this song in years, but it is still fun. Great music.

  • One of the songs that really distinguished the Rolling Stones and showed they were creative musicians with a more gothic sound than the Beatles. This was very radical for back then. Brian Jones is written all over the background music and vocals. I think this is my favorite era of the Stones, although there were many great eras for the band.

  • @bassbob42 Absoluteley well said my man! Yes!

  • You wrote Brian Wilson wrong.

  • @bassbob42 - My words EXACTLY!! Everything the Stones did in the 1960's was GREATLY touched by Brian Jones - and, we are ALL bless by this!! :) Mick and Keith are GREAT, and, always will be, but, Brian made them immortal!!! :)

  • @classiclistener01 The synergy with Brian is un mistakeable. Period.

    

  • The stones simply immitated the Beatles. They just weren't in the same league. But that's OK, no one was!

  • @MrDarkbloom Saying "imitate" it's a bit unfair towards a great band like the stones...but yes, not the same league

  • THE BEATLES AND THE ROLLING STONES! 'drops dead from excitement, comes back to life to hear it again'

  • Great song. I heard this song at the time when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986 and will forever associate this song with space exploration and space travel.

  • * * * * *

  • think lennon and mccartney are on this...

  • the songs that inspired the latest rock and roll band ever.Kleiner Scherz!

  • From Brazil

    Nice song, buddy.

    Thank you.

  • this amazing single sounds so much like the Beatles. certainly beatles influence is apparent and could have been placed on Sgt. Pepper because they are on the cover too.

  • @accordionreid I think, if I'm not mistaken, that Paul and/or John helped with the backing vocals.

  • @musicaldun1 paul and john helped on the backup vocals for we love you, i don't think they did for dandelion but i could be wrong.

  • @FuzztoneProductions I've been wrong before and certainly will be again. Thanks for the heads up.

  • @musicaldun1, the band certainly made up for it in Beggars&Bleed, 2CLASSICS. Cheers. Andy (aka merseymain)

  • @yahood66 Classics indeed! Toss in "Their Satanic Majesties Request", "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile On Main Street" and you've got their peak years...IMO.

  • Not their strongest recording period BUT nice nevertheless

  • @merseymain I completely agree. There are quite a number of songs that I like better, I just wanted to get this stereo version up for those who may be in need of it.

  • Which comp is this version of the song from? I only have this song in mono.

  • ahhhh....memories....... : ) great vid!

  • Great pics of Mick & the Boys in their infancy. But like a dandelion, so many years have blown away...

  • @utubemusiccritic Thanks. I wanted to just use pics of the line-up that recorded this. Well put...
