The Rolling Stones ~ Midnight Rambler. In concert 1969

[buttonbarb]

The Stones from 1968 to 1972 were at their creative peak, and it wasn't a stretch to call them the greatest rock band in the world...Beggar's Banquet. Let it Bleed. Sticky Fingers. Exile on Main Street! Has any band had a four album run like that? Zeppelin I to IV? Beatles Rubber Soul to the White Album?

[Music65through85]

God, I love the past. What a jam by the Stones. How could a groove sound any better than that. Absolutely Rockin' performance of this song. The "God Damn" shout out at the break still gets me every time. All hail R & R!

[iamthewalrus604]

grate rolling stones song!

[ThePipi1951]

This song is originally off the Let it Bleed album

[valhalia100]

Mick Taylors lead guitar was perfect for the band,too bad he quit early on ,I think Keith Richards is the Best ever Rhythm Guitarist the rest of the Band awesome too.

[rahzel101]

In 69,the Stones were kids in their 20's.They were getting arrested a lot in London,declared pesonna non grata in Germany,something normally reserved for spies.Their management was begging them to calm down,and stop playing this song.Too violent.It was getting hard to get them in the US.So what do they do on the 69 tour of the US?They close every show with Midnight Rambler.Didn't give a fuck.They also recorded much of Exile on this tour in Mussel Shoals,Alabama.

[rayterry]

@rahzel101

Absolutely wrong. Where do you dorks come up with this stuff?! They closed the '69 shows with "Street Fightin' Man" and they recorded 2 songs- "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses"- in Muscle Shoals, for the STICKY FINGERS LP, not EXILE... You know, it's O.K. to not know this stuff, but why do these YouTube queers post these messages, in an attempt to "educate" somebody, when they have no f*****g idea what they're even talking about?!

[cbtole1]

When they come out of the break, right before they start to resume the tempo, Keith hits his strings so hard it sounds like he's playing an organ, not a guitar

[mickeymousebiker1]

THE BEST VERSION. Great jam all-around! Great tune to have playing in your head when your riding your bike late at night.

[huascar66]

@mickeymousebiker1 try the underground even better!

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Brian was amazing, but, without being too critical, was he as stunning as Taylor? Do any Ron Wood solos spring to mind, Hey Negrita? On the other hand Taylor's solos have trancended time itself

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

it must be one of the best live albums ever

[68punkster]

without stones the concept of rockstar wouldn't exist...

[mklvn777]

The best version.

[Stacie4Kirk]

i'm amazed that anyone can critisize mick taylor, sure he was in the right place at the right time, but his playing elevated them to new heights, what influence has ronnie wood had [no disrespect to him ] none, he was just the right man at the right time, and if you ask any decent guitar player they would tell you that keith and ronnie are very average players, ive seen pub bands do stones songs better than they can [guitar playing wise].

[clfetter]

taylor...2...keith the music...best.

[oleole52]

Apex is right.They were in a dirty,relentlessly raunchy class of their own.Loud as hell.Saw them in '72 in the Montreal Forum.They were still closing with Midnight Rambler,and Keith's opening chords made the building shake.

They were wrecked.How they could play so good and so long that way is beyond me.Actually,they just seemed to get stronger.And they were writing their best songs at this time.

They're a wonder.

[rayterry]

@oleole52

No, they didn't close with "Midnight Rambler" in Montreal, or anywhere else, in '72. They followed it with "Bye Bye Johnny" (then cut out "Rip This Joint," since people in the crowd were acting stupid, throwing bottles and lighting firecrackers, and The Stones wanted out), "Jumpin' Jack Flash," and "Street Fightin' Man." Guess you were too stoned, or you're just too old now, Oleole.

[PikPobedy]

Was this inflenced by Satisfaction?

[Eileene89]

The only criticism about the stones is that dumb fucker Mick Taylor he's shit

[tonypap1]

@Eileene89

F*ck RIGHT off. Mick Taylor just "happened" to be around at the best times of the Stones. Ronnie Wood is a fucking passenger.

[michaelp3138]

@tonypap1 right on tonypap - it's no coincidence that the Stones best period was right around the time Taylor came on board and lasted until he left - Wood isn't fit to lick Taylor's boots - come to think of it, neither is Richards

[wars4772]

This is the best version of this song in all the Rolling Stones concerts, is a killer song!!!!

every time that I'm listen this song at home I do listen again and again and again....:)

[spiros9339]

λαυρα μεσανυχτα..

[holzg01]

Hardest Ticket Ever To Get at Madison Square Garden.

[FanOfJanis]

Just my opinion: Yeah, Mick Taylor was great. Okay. However, KEITH RICHARDS was (still is!) the engine that power the world's greatest rock machine. Saw Keith live in concert in 1979. The New Barbarians. He stepped out of rhythm and into lead. Mick Taylor was smoother; however, Keef could out rock Taylor any time and every time. Got Keef's book. Love it! I've followed The Stones since 1964. Rock on! ... FoJ

[blackandtanful]

こうゆう猛烈楽曲があるから、ストーンズは永久にたまらない!～­ﾐｯﾄﾞﾅｲﾄ･ﾗﾝﾌﾞﾗｰ､強力ライヴ”Get Yer Ya Ya's Out"～いかすぜチャーリー!

[Nielsanderspoulsen]

Well.. I have to admit.. Mick T is genius, but what Keith is doing on this Midnight Rambler version from 69 is just so fantastic. Starting the song up.. goes straight to the heart.. and all through the song.. thank you Keith !

[rajay777]

Jagger said that when Mick Taylor was with the group, it was at its all time best. Have to agree. Since M.T. left and Ronnie came in, a bit of a yawner.

[clfetter]

KEITH RICHARDS WAS GOD.

[diprobocoala]

ik 15 jaar oud, de rai amsterdam,krijg er nog rillingen van

[ragnorr1]

Stones at their Zenith!!

[gizmo3523]

Yeah, Mick Taylor really was a driving force of the group from 1969 to 1974. His guitar work is great on this song.

[qf400]

pity mick t didnt stick around. ronnie, dependable, fitted in but jeez a bit obvious, in 'e? check out ac dc /stones rock me baby. the poor bugger is like a deer in headlights. HOWEVER. he was great with the faces

[Beatleluver1234567]

Mick and Keith are such fucking babes it's not even funny.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

is there any vid of this track, listened to it back in the schooldays of the 1970s

[houndhell]

6.50 for a ticket to see one of the greatest rock band of all time. Now..150 bucks just for the nose-bleed section.

[sob450]

i only live bout an hours drive from madison square garden! :D

[gdavidson11]

best damn version ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[vivianlippens]

Great harmonica & my favorite version.

[GeorgeRingoGirl]

it's on Get Yer ya-Ya's Out, right?

[skychurchify]

@GeorgeRingoGirl yes...

[itsilversurfer]

@GeorgeRingoGirl I think it's on "Let it Bleed"

[GeorgeRingoGirl]

@itsilversurfer i meant the live version

[SweetUniverse]

Keith Richards made it into the next century - who woulda thunk it? :)

[endhouseblade17]

what can we say about the stones , the worlds greatest ever rock n roll band big part of my life remember my mum god bless her turning the tele over if they were on saying "you are not watching these good for nothings" 40+ years later and they are still there . when theyn call it a day cant wait for the film must be titled " its all over now" LOVE EM

[whitefeet1]

That break to the boogie still kills me 40 years later. This record is a holy relic from the time when music WAS the internet, and we communicated back and forth across the Atlantic and around the world by means of Dylan, The Beatles and the Stones.....

[swiggy58a]

@whitefeet1 Brother! I have read a lot of comments on youTube and posted a few myself; but you just hit the provervial Nail on it's Universal HEAD! Man! That is SOOO true! Everything was just more fun then. People were so much more connected. Thanks for a great observation. Wasn't it fun? I feel privelaged to have lived through it; in more was than one! I miss those days. I now own 3 copies of this album on vinyl cuz I wore out the first two! Never get tired of this. "Charlie's good tonight!"

[sn00pyize]

Great Post Great audio, Cheers mate! ( - - ) paint it Black U devil . 

[mayoone100]

this great song always reminds me of another song" i am the resurrection" by the stoneroses why any ideas????yer mon in mayo

[redkev68]

Ya Ya's is the best live album ever by any band. The raw energy is incredible. Its like being in the middle of an electrical storm - ur a bit scared but lovin it all the same. It really seems to capture that whole late 60s dark vibe - when everyone realized that wearing flowers in your hair didn't suddenly make everything ok and the world was still a fucked up place.

[jbct61]

Los stones rockeando a lo grande en el 69 y en México solo existía una incipiente cultura del rock. En esto también se demuestra nuestro sub-desarrollo

[mherrenschmidt]

Too many times you hear that this period with Taylor was more cut and dried with rhythm and lead between Mick and Keith....beg to differ, with this as evidence

[countmobius]

Seen them 40 times in my life. Ist time was hyde Park 69. I never get bored seeing them either-they are the greatest band in the world, bar none.

[clfetter]

keith

[straycatdevil]

the GREATEST rock-n-blues song EVER! NO band can touch these guys. The World's Greatest Rock And Roll Band!

[robin14669]

When are we going to see the FILM footage of this great live version....

[skychurchify]

@robin14669 Do they have live footage? I always heard they ran out of film before the Stones preformed Midnight Rambler.. don't really know. Would be GREAT to see the live footage of this song that night.

[robin14669]

@skychurchify Where did you heard that.

[isidrosan]

@robin14669 Sadly, there is none. Maysles Bros only had a certain amount and Mick wanted most of it for the free concert which was supposed to be in Golden Gate but ended up at Altamont. Too bad. Would have been so great to see. The best live song EVER.

[usinalaska]

Best R&R band EVER !!!!! Have seen then 8 times! And shit I am 65 still rockin

[skychurchify]

@usinalaska Right on! I seen them twice, 94 & 97 but man I would have loved to have seen them during the 69 tour.

[skinupfast]

@usinalaska a rhythm machine from 2.22 on and that bluesy ending....aaaahhhhaaarrrghhh

[jonahansen]

Ha! 46 likes and 0 dislikes - finally something everyone who listens to it agrees it's great!

[gayskunk]

[fattycat92]

srick my knife right down your throth, and it hurts.

[yiblon]

Love Wyman's base on this.

[rocknrollphilip]

how much overdubbing and/or re-recording exists on this album?

[cameltooth1]

Hands down the best version I've heard out of about four. When Mick Taylor was with the group, they played better. Keith even sang good back up vocals for most songs. After this, he stopped singing his part for a while. Best live rock album I've ever heard. I would know, I can play every song on the album pretty fair and I know each person's part, for the most part. Thank u for all the great pics, too. Kicks ass. God bless everybody. Peace.

[TheRedpeadar]

@cameltooth1 spot on

[transcarib]

@cameltooth1 That goes double for me. audio and mix on this version is superb. one can hear how good their rhythm section was -- Charlie and Bill were pushing this one along like a freight train.

[Hassler247]

Favorite song all-time right here:)

[skychurchify]

@Hassler247 Right on!! Mine too when all is said and done...much more powerful then the studio version off of "Let It Bleed".

[sonicsteev]

@skychurchify yes stones live 69 harnesses the straight ruff dirty blues!

[YOBRO79]

@skychurchify maybe wild horses :P

[SnaKeEXx]

This Version is in the disk The Rolling Stones Classic hits
