Does anybody know where this performance is taking place. There are cheers at the end so it had to have been atleast on a t.v show. probably not a gig considering the elaborate shots. Probably some show
it was 67, by the way... not 68... I got a copy for Christmas...
weird thing was: we had Richard Englund and Gage Bush staying with us that year, and while my parents were out I put this on and cranked it up. Richard and Gage came home and I ran to turn down the volume. Gage said "Oh, don't worry dear- we've been listening to that stuff down south for years!"
this was released in '67. Not inpsired by pink floyd at all. the stones were heavily criticised for this record, for being a Sgt. pepper copy. If you listen to the 2 records they're nothing alike apart from being apaart of the physcadelic sound, which everyone was doing. Might as well have told hendriz to f off! But for some reason the Stones always were unfairly compared to the Beatles, 4 cuddly stuffed animals that played some pretty music and always sang in key. Not the Rolling Stones!
- The most suceed songs are made with Brian and is shattered mind...TAYLOR, to me, a little SLASH, he´s play good in did!!!...but, far from be creative and giving the right contribute do that band...Ron give Disco sound ideias...and in the 80s RST was about to fall...´cause of it!
- I knw, there is no two BRIAN JONES, but, in that time, it was another creative man feeling bad, with the same reasons of Brian, in the other side called Lennon. Imagine "Woman"played by Stones..with KR making pwr
Certainly influenced by early Pink Floyd, if the Stones had carried on down this path it would have been funny to see them as a prog rock group. Don't think Keith Richards would have stayed.
I disagree... They could've easily followed that trippy stuff (as they did the disco stuff) but why bother when the rockin' bluesy stuff really worked? Floyd covered that market, and the Beatle's capitalized on it... THe Stones just experimented with it at the time
@dreekd80 This is a great Stones tune. One of their best. I saw of documentary about the Stones where Bill Wyman said he always loved this song. I agree with Bill. The bass line at the start and towards the last verse is great and the drumbeat is sick.
To an earlier poster it was actually Brian not Bill who made those awesome sound effects(along with playing that amazing mellotron) in this song...although the engineer for the band reportedly lent a hand (the effects came from the mixing board) in constructing them as well as encouraging Brian to contribute to the song.
With its 3-D cover and all, it was very apparent that this was the Stones answer to Sgt. Pepper. I thought they did it admirably. And Keith says at the beginnig of "Why don't we", Where's that joint? Where was yours?
Totally agree. Sir Brian Jones brought his magic to each song he worked on. The addition of the mellotron on this song was the missing piece. Without it 's not the same song at all. Clearly a case where Brian should have rec'd songwriting credits, especially this song. To me , I think Brian was on a whole other level. Musically , he was the magic within that group. When he left the group, something really special went away -- never to come back.
For an early music video, this is actually very good; it's shot very eerily and captures the 'Stones at their gloomy best. While I wouldn't put this in my Top 10 favorite RS songs, it's still pretty decent.
I love brian jones church organ sound.he was a genius.I had the honour of visiting his grave back in 1985.a good friend of mine had this song played at her funeral.Tears all around when her coffin left the chappel.
approach this 2011 with kid gloves and soft explosions, lets actually let their . our message every spark. once you get past 7 light years dirks because thoughts twisst i'm here sure you are there truth is afterall an immovable rubberband object far flung science on hat's head brb death tribe universal death burn they say brb will be my epitaph confusion
stones at their most evil, inviting and dictating the terms of the opening of the great satanic late 1960's , the consequences we are dealing with today with the inviting of the savage muslim animals from planet hell.....thanks hippies
I heard Brian Jones hated this song. And did not care for ths album. He wanted to get back to making the blues. Channeling the spirit of Elmore James. Dark angel, only person in the band capable of real menace. Not Mick Jagger, that insecure upper middle class giraffe. But for once Brian was wrong. This was a good song. Thanks Chriss999 for the memories!
@psyckonaut There are no synthesizers on this AFAIK. The laser gun sounds are said to have been an oscillator built in the mixing desk and played by Bill Wyman.
Hey, if you drop acid, you gotta go psychedelic! ;) How could people blame the Rolling Stones?
"Their Satanic Majesties Request" may not be a perfect album, but it's definitely at the very least 4 stars. It's definitely better than some of their later studio albums.
I think the Stones would have made a really good psychedelic album if they wouldn't have been involved with court cases at the time. This song is amazing and I honestly like most of the songs on Their Satanic Majesties Request. The thing that drags the album down is the Why Don't We Sing the Song All Together sing along junk. ON WITH THE SHOW GOOD HEALTH TOO YOU!
Cool video too. What's going on with Mick's hat though?
