The Rolling Stones - I Just Want to See His Face

[Guitarrcovers]

relax your fucking mind

[09jackstraw]

The great Bobby Whitlock on electric piano here really fills out the "gospelness" of this track.

[ludwigfeuerbach]

A seriously awesome and even frightening track. If Gram Parsons rubbed off on them, it is here: their ability to sound Christian, to sound afraid, but remain aloof. Yet there is an authenticity to this which can't be faked.

[Gil82cntrbnd]

i get visions of women dancing round a fire ... don't know why... but I like it!!

[tokeburns]

This is my favorite Stones song.

[Mr31760]

FAITH BE MINE!i've listened 2this everyday for 39 1/2 years.I can see!

[frankblack357]

put many miles on my plymouth listening to this album way back when

[jfitz1431]

Love this part of the album. As a stand alone piece it is sorta week...but in the context of the album it works great. Love this album so much.

[Secure81]

This song was so important to the album. It gave you such a feel of where the album was recorded. Sort of reminds me of Shoes by The Electric Flamingos

[Picklesnipe]

Grungy, underground gospel. Dripping atmosphere and emotion...



[MrRobin14669]

@Picklesnipe You hit the nail on the head. That's it.

[milesneedham]

this is such a crazy great album, and i'm not even a huge stones fan....

[shanehenning26]

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

This album is perfection

[worldlit262]

When I first listened to the album back in the day (yes--I bought this album in the fall of 1972). . .this one was my fave! I loved the driving beat and the lyrics are provocative in so many ways--it is, as BloozeDaddy76 said above: "rather atmospheric gospel number"!

[walrustusks1]

Quite a change from Rocks Off isn't it?

[CassieAnnaCary]

this song has alot of instruments and LOTS of background vocals, but the production was purposeful in the way it's almost muted. My ex used to tell me who produced this album but I can't recall the guy's name now. Anyway, the whole record is a perfect mix of talent and excellent production. This song is a key example and one of my favorites on Exile.

[2803leo]

I feel like i'm triping on lsd. \o\' buon voyaaagee

[Duirate]

is the BLIND BOYS' version on Youtube?

[billbonesdeluxe]

Easy to see why Tom Waits loves this song.

[billbonesdeluxe]

Easy to see why Tom Waits loves this song.

[readygolfer]

@billbonesdeluxe Bone Machine

[CassieAnnaCary]

@billbonesdeluxe Very astute!

[dreekd80]

i fold this song into small paper and eat it.

[rodineisilveira]

This is the Mick Jagger's Christian side.

Este é o lado cristão de Mick Jagger.

[slrader11]

that's jimmy miller on drums

[slrader11]

took this to 8th grde and have my buddy listen on hdphnes in the AV lab....I wanted to do music like this....never got close..TWaits -That song had a big impact on me, particularly learning how to sing in that high falsetto, the way Jagger does. When he sings like a girl, I go crazy...nody does it like Mk...this is just a tree of life...is the watering hole. Kth plays his ass off

A cover of the song is featured on the Blind Boys of Alabama’s album, Spirit of the Century.

[funkydrummer14]

Charlie's drums here sound amazing!!! What a sound!

[johnnyn713]

watts and mick make this track

[TinyMontgomery204]

Martin Scorsese is fried out of his mind listening to this right now.

[thepro1331]

@TinyMontgomery204

best comment ever, why is it not top rated

[TinyMontgomery204]

@thepro1331 I don't know. We'll have to kill everybody.

[Australiophile]

THIS SONG IS SHIT HOT....THE WHOLE FREAKIN ALBUM DEFIES GRAVITY

[gabrielx2games]

As much as I love this song I have to admit the version of the blind boys of alabama is better

[chinahands100]

tom waits loved this song and you can why with his later albums and songs..which are murky and moody like this..

[vsister]

@chinahands100 absolutely! so Tom Waits. so Swordfishtrombones and Mule Variations at the same time! I didn't know that. I love how much sense it makes.

I was thrilled that TW did vocals on Harlem Shuffle with the Stones. Sadly I couldn't distinguish him so well :(

[funkydrummer14]

Love Charlie's tom work on this one!!

[Mr66Konrad]

Wg Tom'a Waits'a jest to najlepszy kawałek Stonsów

[rwk1983]

i had to listen to this after the crappy phish version (and im saying that in full knowledge that phish is my favorite band) . Im sorry but phish fucked up the atmosphere of this song.

[sbtdesigns]

YouTube will not allow me to connect this tune to Facebook for some reaon.

[ambpianno]

@sbtdesigns lets me

[sonicsteev]

whoohoo!

[Vrbaski]

this song is amazing. Just a pure gospel jam, nothing more than a good southern jam session. Not sure how a bunch of white brits do it like this, but they do.

[11LadyGrinningSoul11]

Really underrated song. I think this might be my favourite off the album.

[mpsicily]

Love this track,,,,,,Gospel / Blues flavor......I love the guy with 3 billiard balls in his mouth,,,,He is in Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum.......

[MrByaeger]

tom waits named this in his favorites and if you listen to bone machine you can hear why

[JoeKooL25]

nice keys/rhodes/organ on this track

[09jackstraw]

@JoeKooL25 The great Bobby Whitlock on electric piano!!

[BloozeDaddy76]

I used to think this was the most useless track on the whole album, but now I see it is a rather atmospheric gospel number that grows on you. Very hypnotic.

[mustangjjz109]

@BloozeDaddy76 You grew up, it happens to some of us.

[TheCnut69]

i wanna know how they recorded this

[DwayneJKing]

@TheCnut69 How they recorded this whole album is VERY interesting. Do a google search and read about it. It's pretty cool.

[ballennnn]

@TheCnut69 You need one microphone. Thats all. Today everything if over perfected and mixed

[barttheanorak]

@BloozeDaddy76 Surely that honour goes to Casino Boogie or Ventilator Blues. I can barely remember how those go most of the time.

[TheKamanick]

@barttheanorak LEFT SHOE SHUFFLE RIGHT SHOE MUFFLE

[jetenmerdeuh]

epic ! saw some footage of the recordings of this song once, in studios in Los Angeles. Man, the women of the choir.... body & soul, body & soul...

[Jagermeister196]

Relax Your Mind!

[stargiant1962]

Maybe their best song ever!

[bklmsoul]

@stargiant1962 fukkk yessssss

[genesimonen]

@stargiant1962 you must have been high, but it's a great piece of music anyway :DD

[zaynzaynzayn]

this song was great stones. real guts.

[MrDavidpierson]

Awesome drumming and groove for a white guy.. ha ha... play this all night
