@Spiderrico123 yea and it;s a damn shame cuz i love the stoes with jones and taylor seems like they just lost there way kinda hard to top begger;s sticky fingers and exile to me that was their peak and let it bleed
@namey420 So true. I personally believe they were better creatively in the 60s with Brian, but the Mick Taylor era is where they were better live and instrumentally!! Both periods have never been bettered and it shows in how little they have created since 1974. Its a shame they helped ruin Brians life, found a replacement just as talented in Taylor, then ruined his life too!
@Spiderrico123 it should be noted that the late Ian Stewart, may he rest in peace, and Charlie Watts had the strongest criticism of the late Brian Jones in interviews, He was useless by '68 because of his delicate constitution (see Godard's Sympathy for the Devil). They couldn't tour because of his legal problems, even if he had been healthy. As for Mr. Taylor, he would probably take great offense at someone saying his life was 'ruined.' He has the career he wanted. He didn't like rock stardom.
@billyjoedopesmoker Well,maybe Mick Taylor did not like rock stardom as you claim. However, there can be no excuse at all for him being left broke. He was, after all, the catalyst for the greatest music of a generation. SHAME on Jagger/Richards for not looking after him either financially or pastorally.
@jszabo1000 there's an interesting version of this song from the '75 (?) tour that lasts for 10 plus minutes and has a long solo by Mr. Wood. It's interesting to hear the way this song has evolved over the years. They didn't use a horn section in their concerts from around '75 until the early (?) '80s. I like the sax because it reminds me of Little Richard records I listened to 48 years ago. I'll admit it's an acquired taste for one who doesn't remember when sax was the R&B rock solo instrument.

I played keyboard and sang lead on this song in a club band for many years. It was always dreadfully boring and I couldn't figure out why. We were a good band, this is a great song, what was wrong? Much later, when I heard the song aGAIN, the answer jumped out at me: It was the drum part! Without Jimmy Miller's exquisite and challenging groove, the song just lays there like a dead thing, as it does here. The Stones are great [go Taylor!], but Charlie drags it down like an anchor. Too bad!
The perfect tone in my opinion, so smooth and still clear. I guess he was playing through an old ampeg. There are so many fantastic guitar players, but Taylor is my main inspiration when playing lead guitar, his fluidity and his vibrato is like nothing I've ever heard before.
the radio announcer Serf was blurring the titles giving, like..that was Bonnie Rait and The Rolling Stones...it was cool though, to imagine Who with Who!
I had a dream that I was this female ashamed in a non sexy Band Uniform as all of the rest of us but I had sold my French Horn for a really low price..it needing soldering..polishing...I guess cool on my lips!...I like This Song! Rock n Roll!
@StreetDevilz Because everyone has Bieber fever lol...Musical works of genius tend to remain esoteric. I just consider myself lucky for having been exposed to the Stones' magical work in this era.
The Stones have released several live records, but oddly no official release from their best tour: '72-'73. There are plenty of bootlegs of this tour, so we know they recorded some dates- I can't figure out WHY they don't issue official cleaned up, properly mixed recordings of this tour. Maybe they know people would realize how far removed they are from their past greatness... but thanks for posting this gem anyway!! XXOO
i'm gonna have to agree with donedave about the Stones keeping their past live recordings underwraps because people would realize that that they 'use to be' great....
The '75-76 tour was decent as Ron Wood put some punch into the band, Keith actually cleaned himself of junk during the tour (but would soon descend back into it's thrall); the 1978 tour was better largely because the band actually had a great record to tour with (Some Girls); the '81-82 tour was a spectacle, but short on musical strength and was the last of the "jam" style playing; from 1989 through the present, Stones tours have largely been a Las Vegas oldies review type show.
The '72-73 tour was the best: the band was tight, yet could jam freely. Mick & Keith were still close friends & collaborators, Bill & Charlie were intimately involved in honing the sound of the band, and Mick Taylor added a lyrical flow with his playing. Then the band became filthy rich, Mick became a jet-set star, Keith descended into heroin madness, Bill got bored & began making solo records & Mick Taylor quit. And the greatest period of the Rolling Stones came to an end.
I love the Stones, truly & madly! And I sometimes hate them because I know what they've done, which this recording is a live testament to, and they fail to measure up to past greatness. That said, of course they've aged and are not the hungry youngsters of yesteryear, and even in their old age they're still the pinnacle of what a great rock 'n' roll band SHOULD be. The '72-'73 tour is simply the TOP of that pinnacle- every bootleg recording I've heard confirms this. God bless them always!
Fuck man, why can't my generation put out rockin songs like this? If I had one wish... It'd be to have been around when music was good. 60's, 70's, hell, even the 80's!
@UnbiasedGiraffe Be careful - it can be addictive. I obtained the 'Brussels Affair' bootleg about two years ago. For the first year after that it was almost the only record I cared to listen - I literally listened it through several times a day and almost every single day of the year.
In my opinion it must be the ultimate rock'n'roll recording.
One of the most obvious faults in the structure of the whole Universe must be that the 'Affair' is not available officially with a proper mastering.
@UnbiasedGiraffe indeed, i've heard there is a tape loop of that beautiful sound playing constantly in the reception room before entering the pearly gates of heaven. if not, i might i might request a transfer to the other final destination.
welcome back. you were missed. thank you for the best version of this song, and you are commended for your perseverance and fortitude in the face of the forces that be. it's nice to know that sometimes 'good' can triumph, well, at least for a while anyway. but this is great and you are too for putting it back up. thanks again for your outstanding effort and excellent sense of aesthetics.
