[JohnDee1949]

Greatest music of all time!

[EvilSatanBabyFromHel]

R.I.P Brian Johnes !

[crediki100]

Name me one artist that can do this today

[catdog420]

LONG LIVE THE 'WOLF!!!

[gmoestl]

A little bluesband from east london.. called "The Rolling Stones"...That´s what they´ve been and what they still are !!!

[KbcBerlin]

This was the B side in England, Get off My Cloud or the release before. I played this side more often in caffs, The guitar " Th dogs begin to bark the hounds begin to Howl .. Great.

[twangville]

@KbcBerlin no - rooster was backed with off the hook , in the uk on nov 13; and cloud came a year later, with singer not the song, on oct 22, as a follow up to satisfaction, as of aug 20, 65; whereas cloud had i'm free as flip in germany and stateside; roy carr, an illustrated record, from 1976

[KbcBerlin]

@twangville Ok . Thanks.. It fitted foggy Gravesend/ Tilbury.( Thames Estuary Port) for me that year. Endless teas in a caff, money in the Wurlitzer, and waiting for our first ship as new merchant seamen.

[zzhamstring]

Blues influence with the Stones.

[McHuub]

Just Perfect !!!

[71bielefeld]

this song remember the version played by the german school rock'n roll band V.I.N.O. in the early eighties

[cashfanman]

ALWAYS LIKED THIS TRACK

[blinkbills69]

whos off there tits how good

[philblah]

If you want to see the roots of this, look up big momma thornton, singing this song and 'hound dog', she is the coolest! (along with Howlin' Wolf)

[mopable]

BRIAN JONES WAS A BETTER HARMONICA PLAYER

[nikispics]

Brian made this track - lousy copy though!

[blutocampbell]

Is this Shindig?

[suzycreamcheesez]

always loved Brian

[Firewoman888]

Fender Strat?

[louloulindy]

U tube newbie, I didn't know all these videos were on here. I love this and Love the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger was so cute.

[huichol53]

brian jones and mick jagger 1965. goodbye high school, hello Haight Asbury........ huichol53.......

[StormyV58]

The Genious was Brian Jones! RIP Brian

[forestgumpaed]

so different from what they did ,a blues track that the public loved and it became a big hit for them.originally ignored as a track , but it was on hell of a song.

[skrapyard444]

looks like hes about to stab someone



[sombodydenuccio]

A white ENGLISH guy singing authentic blues - epic

[alanbstard4]

@sombodydenuccio they do it better than anyone

[Kanoee64]

I feel old just to have actually searched this particular song out.

[SushiMyTimbits]

@iDreamOfJulia the man was sex on legs

[meestamonsta]

one Mick. . 'ooot eees face !!!

[10baroness]

The edge RS have over the Beatles, blues.

[graceezzz]

@10baroness The Beatles were a rock band. The Stones are (the greatest) Rock 'N' Roll band. It's the ROLL that makes them.

[ClueBand]

@graceezzz LOL. Ever heard of the Who? Better songs, better musicians, worse PR office.

[lousaffire]

@10baroness the edge both of them had on the rest of the world, they were English! lol

[laggie24]

Mike'sand farm yeard little red rooster is long gone.... what the heck is he talking about...I bet he can only dream of those times...he would be happy now, if he would even get half way close to that farm yard ....haaaaaaaa

[swacbro]

what the hell is this?? I'm surprised the other Stones were ok with this...the first Mick solo video! such a shame 'cause it sounds live; I would've like to see the band playing especially Brian

[TheArsong]

@swacbro watch and see at 2 minute 43

[tataso]

WOLF !!!!!!!!!

[gardendaisy]

MICK TRIED TO LOOK CRAZY ALL THE TIME!

[nickthesmall66]

seems like everything in the 60's is really in black and white

[Cupidville]

Wow. Sir Brian Jones is absolutely magical on this take and it show the world the brillance and wonder of his talent. 2 Thumbs UP !!  RIP, Sir Brian Jones

[MrAugustus88]

It is when they broke from main stream blues and rock n roll that in 1965 a small group of men created something the world had never ever seen before. Progg psychedelia. From the 90's onwards all you get is disco and rap fashism. Quality music is very rare and it was recorded by a small number of bands. The best album the stones did was the unique 'Her satanic majesties request'

[sclapione]

@JedCurtisMusic Could you keep that shit off vids ? How old are you ?

[EclipseMusicCenter]

Fuck you! No blues is crap

[bEnSlAtEr001]

Such a fucking good tune.

[MrAugustus88]

this is blues crap and not psychedelic-progg

[elmers06]

@MrAugustus88 suck my balls.

[shrikechan]

@MrAugustus88 Psychedelic and progressive rock would not exist without blues. 

[MrTomashec]

The Doors version is definitelly better

[ringu]

@MrTomashec Where can I hear The Doors version?

[fuckingcondado]

@ringu Little red rooster - the doors. A live she cried ( album).

[jwahh]

@fuckingcondado With John Sebastian? Great version.. better than this one.

[RollingOrmond]

Compared to songs like Can't Buy Me Love and Eight Days a Week this must have scared the shit out of parents.

[catman306]

Interesting photography.

[yungsu100]

luvyoureally

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU I SAID HE COULD ALMOST SING LIKE WOLF

[Godard613]

Mick was the original anarchist. They started punk rock. Awesome video!

[neverindoubt]

@Godard613 Maybe give some credit to Brian Jones.

[dasubertitan]

@neverindoubt  many parts make the machine

[dasubertitan]

@neverindoubt many parts make the machine

[DaFiyaaaa2]

@Godard613 Until the doors took that title two years later. "the toughest and the dirtiest."

[RollingOrmond]

@DaFiyaaaa2 You mean "the fattest and laziest."

[MusicalPhliosophy]

Mick is good... but he aint no Howlin' Wolf!

[jwahh]

@MusicalPhliosophy No.. he's not.

[gertzaddik77]

@MusicalPhliosophy You got THAT right. But the Stones would go on to personify the perfect blend of bad boy and shameless copycat. I can't think of another single group that covered classic blues tunes with such effortlessness.

[alanbstard4]

@MusicalPhliosophy thank God for that

[sjconker64]

@MusicalPhliosophy what howlin wolf?

[TheKenney81]

@MusicalPhliosophy listen to the doors version with Albert king on guitar

[shaneh1983]

great cover

[sammyjny]

i like all rolling stones... they have got sooo many great ones... but this song is just too weird... its too black lol

[yungsu100]

JAGGER IS ALMOST AS GOOD A SINGER AS CHESTER BURNETTE

FOR A WHITE MAN MOTHERFUCKER CAN SING THE BLUES WITH THE BEST OF THEM

[luvureally]

@yungsu100 With the best of them like Otis Rush, B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Freddy King, Buddy Guy, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, Z.Z. Hill, Elmore James, KoKo Taylor, Bessie Smith - Hell no!

[44mkb]

This song is so deeply rooted in America's great black musicians.

[nicktesla45]

I heard Mik Jagger died ! yea, he was going down the Freeway at 60 miles an hour and he stuck his head out the window and his lips beat him to death ! ha ha ha ha ha !!

[BigDtootall]

These guys need to fire that troll singer. Never, never, never gonna make it til then!

[coxi666]

@BigDtootall what? are you retarded?

[starinthehoodmuzz]

Right tune !

[ramonel36]

love mick jagger with harmonica !!

[ElizabethGS]

@ramonel36 Mick was so not great on the harmonica, which is why they hired Sugar Blue for some Albums. Who, incidentally, is still touring, playing, singing and recording (and as great as ever on harp). Look him up.

[Nextmullen]

@ElizabethGS Actually, in his book Keith raves about how phenomenal Mick was on the harp. He claims him to be up there with the best int he world.

[ElizabethGS]

@Nextmullen Just saw this, sorry I'm so late. Keith is his friend and kind of obligated to say something nice about Mick's talents..could have been a bit tongue in cheek as well? Mick's vocals kept the Stones together all these years, but oh my. He was barely passable on harp when this was recorded. Maybe a bit better now but anywhere close to 'the best in the world'? Umm. You really should do some research. Little Walter, Big Walter, Rice Miller, Sonny Terry, I can name HUNDREDS far better. :)

[Nextmullen]

@ElizabethGS Fair Enough. I was just going by what I read from Keith's book and not very well educated on the matter. He seemed pretty sincere how he wrote it and I took it quite objectively seeing as he kind of insults Mick a lot throughout the book which I think to be a little strange. You are probably correct though but then again, Mick could have had some talent behind closed doors. Thanks for the reply.

[ladysweetokio]

if someone doesn't like this goes to drink HYPO!!!

[xltoday]

This song 'caused me to buy my very 1st stones album My parents had a fit

[70sLAgirl]

Mick is SO hot !

[Tonyp68]

Good 'ol Delta done the Chicago way, that's the Stones genius.

[eaglerockwillfuckyou]

Few people will understand, but the Rolling Stones are in my soul and my heart. Ask parents and uncles, but the day that I will lose the STONES to lose my life.

[rymaly]

1:25 so cute!!!

[xela1970]

toooooo lazy...yeah baby

[virtualuis25]

Wow ...1965.Genius Mick

Yeah!! .2011 Genius Mick

Forever Rolling Stone Forever

[huichol53]

Too bad brian jones was drowned, or we'd have had Blues Music up till there final goodbye. Love this cut, by Howlin Wolf or Mick and brian...Huichol53.......

[huichol53]

Since this was1965, it must have been Brian Jones on slide guitar? Huichol53.......

[BritishHobby]

Awesome ...Mick Jagger ..1965 If you were there and a teen Say no more.

If not hard luck you missed out on a fantastic time.

[johnnyzzz231]

beatles suck aaasss

[LeanMcHungry]

Does any one else get irritated by that dandy little nitwit Jagger phucking with the blues?The stones with Howlin Wolf, now that would have been something!

[boazyu]

It was Mick's devastating vocals that kept the Stones afloat all these decades. And boy did Mick know how to work the cameras.

[kflossie]

God damn!

[walkindead7]

Howling Wolf,Howlin Wolf,Howling Wolf,Howling Wolf.The Rolling Stones the greatest Rock and Roll Band.I love Howlin Wolf,the BLUES for real.

[zioband]

nice......GREETING FROM ITALY

[swindonbadger]

guitar = rooster and a dog at the same time :)

[ToxiMoron]

This song has some of the most wicked slide guitar ever...thanks for the video!

[rockbluesjazzcska]

Mick's voice suits this great

[Andrew55392FG]

really a nice retro, for some.... It will always remember one........ ;-) all in the meanwhile, they have forgotten all abt. one......

[FaulFerkel]

just epic so damn good

[instock1]

I was 1 year old when this came out. Was introduced to the stones by my much older brother and still like the music

[mafib56]

Damn boringn ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

[shanehenning26]

great cover

[colu1492]

BLUES YEAH

[raldo97232]

He has talent but he does not have THE BLUES

[briteness]

Howlin' Wolf's version is so much better.

[DrThrashenstein]

Yep, The Stones are definitely the greatest rock n' roll band of all time. No. 2 ? IDK maybe Aerosmith or Zepp? Guns n' Roses could have reached that iconic status if drugs and egos (or e-guy) hadn't played such a HUGE roll in their lives. They were destined for greatness. Just imagine if they would have stayed together with all original members.

[MattHatter]

@DrThrashenstein: Aerosmith at No. 2? Are you kidding me? They're good and all but not groundbreaking. More like No. 50 on my list. They'd at make the Top 100 rock and roll bands. Guns 'N' Roses as well.

[shaneh1983]

great version of this song

[theemmers15]

This is um.... odd

[cyberian2007]

"See if ya can get that to top of the charts motherfvcker , a song about a fvcking chicken " Classic KEEF !! Read his new book LIFE, great read !

[zappahart]

@cyberian2007 READING IT NOW a great book !! i havent even got to the good stuff yet!

[moxie96]

@cyberian2007 on the library wait list with about 35 others ahead

[Tismesue]

@moxie96 Move it up the list, you won't be disappointed...lol ;0)

[reklessheart]

@cyberian2007 got it today for my birthday ,love Keef ~~~

[flakbac]

reminds me of halloween 1965 wow time sure is a funny thing

[sydskidney]

so damn hot



[plotchickens]

so much worse than the Who

these guys had The Who as guests to their rock and roll circus, and got so embarrassed by how much better the guests were, that no one got to see the film for years ....

[EricMB7]

@plotchickens Uh... get your mouth checked cause I'm pretty sure you have a cronic disease of diarea of the mouth.

[gphn13]

this recording is EERIE

[crazycatlady68]

Holy Crap any one else notice Mick looks eerily like Richard Ramirez in the beginning? Creepy.

[elauraburnette]

@crazycatlady68 Mick could crawl out of a mud puddle and look good.

[tassieblues]

Amazing to hear Brian's much fuller slide guitar playing and NOT to hear the mistake in the original recording where Jagger starts singing one of the verses a bar too early.

[elauraburnette]

@tassieblues I loved Brian as much as any of you, but bless his heart, he was just so tortured by life.

[12347771]

This not just Jagger live with the backing tracks. The Stones are Live ! here. Lend an ear to Brian's slide..more nuance than the record....G'dam nice of the show's producers to finally bring the band on.....

The first Blues #1 on the pop charts and in the words of Marshall Chess:"...Howlin Wolf ? on the white charts?................Indeed.­..

[robalbeach]

just enjoy the music people

[boazyu]

The Stones proved with this great classic that they could play any type of music.

[carrier3232]

was Jagger ever this young and fresh faced? must be a movie!

[bamboosa]

I was completely unaware of blues when I saw the original broadcast (this one) at age 11. This was the darkest shit I had ever seen on tv at the time. Of course the Wolf was never broadcast on tv, to my knowledge - that would have broke my mind. I ended up playing blues, eventually, and have done so for the last 41 years.

[Mygrassisblue01]

look at Mick Jaggers cocaine eyes in this video...he is high as a kite can fly

[MrAlvarosantiagoferr]

@Mygrassisblue01 he is not snify cocaine in this time!

[dirtyhobos]

@Mygrassisblue01 coke makes your pupils pinpoint dumby

[shinta106]

Damn... it's sad how Howlin' Wolfs video has 200,000 less views than this cover.

[erichelms99]

@shinta106 i know and Howlin is 10000000 times better !! 

[QueersNFags6000]

this is what all the 'cool kids' are trying to be like these days.........rock n roll is dead, but this will be the shit forever.

[Metalhead001122]

sounds kinda like Jimi Hendrix's red house

[Vladthedruid]

@Metalhead001122 and every other blues song ever

[lewallen86]

just look at those hypnotizing eyes. theres only a few that have that mick, jim, go back to john lee hooker. soulful eyes man love it

[ThePrincessDenise]

When the Stones were in Toronto a good ten years ago, I had floor seats and they came out on a stage right near me and I actually danced with Mick! He sang the whole song to me! What a thrill! More thrilling if it was Howlin' Wolf, but it MICK EFFIN' JAGGER MAN!!!!

[SRVoldfield]

Howlin' Wolf's version is much better than this one...

[crackmouth]

@tylerstone1980 oh and one more thing i never said it was his song you illiterate piece of shit

[crackmouth]

@tylerstone1980 i dont care whos fucking song it is you douchebag. mick is still a pimp and this song still rocks. if you dont like the rolling stones then quit commenting on their videos and get a fucking life you tool

[MrDinosaurGoesRawr97]

playing this full volume for my grandaaad(: His faaaave rolling stones songg(:

[copine2000]

encore une!!!

[fatmanbossboy]

LISTEN Bergerfry and Tylerstone credit was given to Willie Dixon WHO WROTE the song as well as Howlin Wolf the stones NEVER claimed to have written the song it was just their version Sam Cooke recorded it as well after Howlin Wolf and before the stones How come your not getting on him, That how things were done in those days The writer got his credit Music today is still done that way The Black crowes Hard To handle and just about any cRAP song so Chill on the stones bashing

[bergerfry]

The Stones are doing their 50th aniversary tour this year (and final tour also). I hope they have a portion of each show where they give credit to the people they stole their music from. I know Charlie Watts would do it, he's a music man, but the rest of them, I don't know. Lot's of memories from the Stones but they need to give credit to the right folks.

[Kaalec]

@bergerfry It was thanks to Mick & the Stones, Eric Claton, and other British musicians of the time that Howlin Wolf and other great bluesmen like Son House and Muddy Waters had revitalize careers in the mid 60s. The Stones and Clapton and many other bands of that time (and Led Zep a couple of years later) insisted on having these musicians as part of their own appearances or shows. The Brits sparked the blues revival of the 60s and made sure the original artists finally got their due.

[lowkeeangel]

@Kaalec thanks for the interesting bit of information.

[Kaalec]

@lowkeeangel My pleasure. In America at that time, blues was called "race music" and wasn't played on mainstream (i.e. white) stations. Britain didn't have Jim Crow laws or a history of prejudice and a lot of the new generation loved the blues artists. The Rolling Stones even took their name from a Muddy Waters song.

[12347771]

@Kaalec Not quite my friend. I was in high school in S^%$# hole , South carolina in 1964 and the Charleston radio station would occaisionally drop in B.B. King's " "Paying The Cost to be the Boss" or Slim Harpo's "Scratch my Back" on to the airwaves. But thank you Mick, Erics B & C, Graham Bond, and Mayall for delivering us back the music that was in our backyard all along. Long live The british Blues!!!!

[Kaalec]

@12347771 That must have been a fascinating place to grow up in those perilous times. In spite of some "white" radio stations playing "race music" occasionally, it was really the Brits who helped the Blues cross over into white America through college kids who fell in love with them. There's no question that the Blues is an intrinsically American art form – black America. It is one of the greatest gifts you have given the world. Nice that sometimes the world can pay you back with great artists.

[12347771]

@Kaalec Don't know about the fascinating part. There are supposedly more dialects of English spoken in S, C, than anywhere in the world. Funny, the "gullah" (coruption of the word 'Angolan") dialect the Blackpeople spoke in the isolated sea islands was also spewed by my lilly white rascist classmates.

BTW what's with the thunder and lightning spooky theme on this broadcast..all hallow's eve or something?

[LastOfSixMusic]

@12347771 If it wasn't for suck holes in the South, where the blues evolved and formed, there would be no British Blues...!

[LongLiveTheBlues]

@LastOfSixMusic obviously 

[LongLiveTheBlues]

@Kaalec exactly.

[boazyu]

Mick is one bad assed guy

[TheMrbrainwash]

comes close to the orgiginal

[tylerstone1980]

@TheMrbrainwash lol seriously bro? in no way is this nearly as good as howlin' wolf. not even from the same planet

[TheMrbrainwash]

@tylerstone1980 yeah, yo'right. micky has a lack of power in his voice

[perfuzz]

Luckily the sound recording devises were slightly better than the motion picture recording.

[Blu3sbr3ak3r]

the roosters on the prowl

[crackmouth]

mick is a pimp and this song is fucking awesome

[tylerstone1980]

@crackmouth not HIS song! stolen, just like the entire rolling stones collection. check out howlin' wolf's version before you just say stupid shit. this song is NOWHERE near as good

[god7772007]

this is mick

[boazyu]

Have to laugh at them who say Mick hasn't got it now. Mick Jagger is Immortal and will never die !

This is classic blues straight from the Muddy Waters camp.

[coxhoe789]

this has to be up there with robert johnsons crossroads,muddy waters hoochie coochie manor even jlh crawling king snake,fantastic

[PonderingPig]

Aw, you guys are bigger fans than me. I thought the young Mick was great, but to me the old Mick just doesn't have the same magic.

[qhincha123]

Que placer verte otra vez... LOS PIOJOS... me gusta mas su version!! ciro idolo

[FuckngBastard]

@RachelsBucket ...and I'm related to Anita Pallenberg. Wow Rachel, you could do me with a strap-on as we pay homage to our ancestors. Think I'll have a listen to the "slurpy sounds" version of "Sweet Virginia" as preparation for our rendezvous.

[ThePhantomBlacksmith]

Too cool for school

[RachelsBucket]

I am related to Brian Jones from the rolling stones... shame

[RayManzarekGod]

@RachelsBucket Are you seriously?? Thats amazing.

[sydskidney]

so shit cool..

[ramgarr]

Real

[PonderingPig]

Hard to believe now, but Mick was once the coolest guy on the planet.

[kingofthedeep]

@PonderingPig Yes he was. Still is.

[susi1222]

@PonderingPig Not hard to believe, he still is, in my opinion,
