ROLLING STONES Not Fade Away 1964

[SEHANO]

Buddy did it better

[graceezzz]

AAAAAAAAAAAND imnowofficiallyattractedtobria­njones

[MerrittJeff1970]

I am reading Keiths book and damn just as I suspected that boy was clueless about the blues. The harp is amazing, but everything else, especially Keiths playing is just a bunch of teenage white boys and their even more oblivious fans clangin around. Classic example of a producer taking advantage of an american art form and profiting off of tennage angst.

Fortunately some of them turned out to be great song writers otherwise it would have been 2 years and out.

[bobluman4]

@MerrittJeff1970 keith liked chuck berry but knew nothing about blues that was brian and micks thing i guess

[SlurpeerulezGS05]

I guess you gotta thank them for helping Buddy Holly's song live on!

[tean2269]

I play my the clitorrious vertical

[hotrock51]

Long live the stones!l love them forever

[tiptoncathcart]

BRILLIANT! Love Brian's harp work, and many thanks to Bo D.

[powerlinestreet88]

brian jones was so talented man...the best.

[IFeelFine2011]

A Great Song.

The Stones Forever !!

[davgabe]

Stones Buddy Holly Springsteen Clapton all had CLASSIC SONGS with the same theme Rock Stars DON`T WANNA FADE AWAY

[montelatici]

Brian Jones, the best.

[BarbarasUrates]

Nice little two harp switch

[LiraNuna]

Brian was the original leader, not just a utility man and he was the one who put in an add for the group, it didn't just "form itself" as the surviving members would like to remember. Love Mick and Keith but they are a bit piggish sometimes even to each other on credit.

[ZeppelinClassics]

@LiraNuna Actually, Ian Stewart was the original leader. Brian was second bar. Mick and Keith were third bar. -_-

[LiraNuna]

how come Brian Jones dances better than Mick ever did? ;)

[Spiderrico123]

loving brian's dancing :D 

[1968Digger]

Classic!!

[keefdujour]

We'll never know if he repeated "Rolling Stells" at the very end of the clip 

[mindeloman]

Charlie Watts holding down an incredible beat.

Bill Wyamn with his bass nearly verticle

Keith Richards strumming his Keith Richards' rythmn

Jagger being.....well.....Jagger.

and the great Brian Jones being the utility man playing anything he wants. In peace may you rest Brian Jones.

and together they are - THE ROLLING STONES.

[TheAnimaBeatle]

He is a Frickin animal....

[tasteofmadness]

I don't think there are words to express how much I love Brian's dancing in this video.

[LetsGoMetsGo33]

Buddy Holly :)

[somelosertookmyname1]

oh brian.....

[JDibden]

What co-ordination Mick! Try copying the marracca speed and rhythm AND the fancy footwork. Its might hard!

[Nigelxman]

So crappy compared to Buddy Holly's version but there ya go.

[cr30316]

oh wahteva. keef! peace!

[Cagnam]

not faid away = not faid ə'wai ahahahaha

[The8347135]

good cover :)

[BarWillTender]

Only if Brian still would be alive :(

[9641roger]

One of the most famous covers of a Buddy Holly song!! Originally the B side of Oh Boy

[beatlecraze0]

To me all the rolling stones were cover artist until they wrote their own songs then were lik dis rocknroll band but their still good....

[cramregan]

Totally agree with "Eltamir"!!!

[Eltamir]

Brian was far superior to Mick on the harmonica.

[57surfer]

@Eltamir not according to Keith in his book.

[57surfer]

@Eltamir

not according to Keith in his book.

[skinmomz88]

love the harmonica

[bonezy1]

hey anyone know the "solo" bit all i know the rythm E,A then A,D but keith does other chords and stuff i cant put my finger on

[ARKIEX]

this is a cross between

Buddy Holly and Bo Diddey !

[3picsandwich]

how many harmonicas is brian playing and what key?

[chandramaofficial]

Slightly crappy resolution, but thanks 10 gazillion for posting. One of the best early Stones live I've seen!

[michaelhigh1967]

Great great GREAT!!!



[tickntimebombfun]

At this time brian jones was the coolest man on the planet

[Ozimandias84]

Haha, he couldnt activate his starpower

[RICECAKEGOESWHEE]

the rolling stells??

[dude25875]

This is the song that turned Joe Strummer on to rock and roll.

[Rustina61]

Real fast - look at the crazy hat on the lady at 1:04.

[45vinyljunkie]

The three people who dislike this probably think "American Idol" is good.

[johnnyw12]

Brian was responsible for much of the Rolling Stones early sound!! Harp, Sitar Marimba.

[hurricanekiki]

Miss you Brian

[clarkewi]

This was the Stones first hit. Great record. I remember it well. Spring of '64. This track was produced by Phil Spector - you can hear the "Wall of Sound" effect in the record.

[SwampThizzle]

"NAWT FIDE AWIY! The Rolling Stownes!" LOL.

[Keijz74]

@SwampThizzle LOL

[elliecorkerry]

The Rolling what, now? :P

[loqutor]

@elliecorkerry The Rolling Stowns, of course.

[robstones1968]

Did anyone notice Brian is using two harmonicas in this song.

[MetalThrashingMad87]

@robstones1968 yes , te other was a blues harmonica and the other had other tones.

Not fade away is tuned in unusally tone , thats why he used the other

[debiedog1]

The Stones at the beginning and at their best. I saw them live in Melbourne, Australia in 1965 and again in 1966 when I was lucky enough to meet them briefly as they were preparing for the early show. I was 16 at the time!!!!!

[lpride1]

@debiedog You were lucky! I thought I was going to marry Mick Jagger when I was 16 :). Think I got over that but I still love them. 

[devilive14]

Brian Jones shall always be missed...Maybe god takes his dear ones early

[colindaleradiosutch]

DONT FADE AWAY, KEEP ON ROCKIN, NEVER STOP ROCKIN. The Stones one of my favourite groups,.... colindaleradiosutch

[seymour1918]

read keiths books then make comments here on youtube

[xltoday]

I think Brian was drown by the rest of the stones "cause he was getting all the pussy

[78rohan]

@xltoday drown? or drowned? anyway I disagree, Mick was and still is.

[Squadillah]

2 people's love is fading away

[freedomchild68]

we all need a little more harMonica in our life!!

[jacomalfoy]

@HarryPalma

[ultrakool]

the philly based mike douglas show had some pretty big acts on it. the stones, zappa, kiss, lennon/ono to name a few that were outside of it's core audience. not bad for a little, also-ran talk show

[TheJacobin]

2 people should fade away.

[SgtPepper264]

Does anyone know what key harmonica Brian Jones is playing? I would really appreciate it.

[themanwhosmokedthewo]

@SgtPepper264 Listening to the blues riffs (ex 2:00) I'd say A - 2nd position (as the tune is in E)...

[topdroog]

@themanwhosmokedthewo Isn't he switching back and forth between two? Maybe one straight for comping the chords, and the cross-harp for the riffs? Just a guess, I'm not a harp guy.

[SgtPepper264]

@themanwhosmokedthewo

Good Man thanks, I've had a hankering to learn this song for weeks!

[trsfan]

@SgtPepper264 one is a C the other a Eb

[PhysicalGraffiti91]

Maracas!!

[StLouisEarl]

February 21, 1964: The Rolling Stones release their 3rd single, "Not Fade Away" in the UK.

The single, a Buddy Holly cover tune, becomes the group's first British Top Ten single. ☺

[ades923]

La canzone è di buddy holly cmq...

[tampikosita]

me encanta como baila brian jones lo amooo

[Salvo1313]

Can't play this loud enough

[justsomedude777]

Beatles were better

[SirPwn4lot]

@justsomedude777 No doubt, but behind Bob Dylan the Rolling Stones were a close 3rd in my opinion :)

[boazyu]

Mick Jagger has always been and always will be the focal point of the group.

Without Mick's charismatic presence, sublime movement and sensational voice there would have been no Rolling Stones. Take Mick out of the equation, then all you have left is an ordinary group.

[JDALIVETUBE]

@boazyu In these early days I would say so but as they grew the whole band became the epic mass that it was.

[overlycreative]

@boazyu The entire group made up The Rolling Stones, though an individual with as strong a presence as Mick Jagger seems a focal point, you had to be there, in the time, places to witness everyone contributing greatly to the success. One cannot imagine, Micks voice without the harmonica of Brian or even Charlies drumming. As Mick and Keith collaborated on the music, what is a singer without words? They all played their parts as I played their 33's. Extraordinary indivduals, one greatness .

[Nickofaballooni]

@boazyu ....Brian Jones was the inspiration of the early stones.... I was there and saw them live.

[tampikosita]

un maestro brian jones un genio de la musica tokando la harmonica genial

[notfragile33]

why did Bill Wyman play bass like that? He looks uncomfortable, someone get him a 'stand up' bass if he's going to do that! (of course, as old as he was, he probably was around when that was the ONLY kind of basses that existed!)

[rootedsorrow]

Brian is a zillion times more charasmatic than Jagger. I can see why he pushed him out of the group. Too threatening to Jagger.

[SgtPepper264]

@rootedsorrow

That is actually incorrect. Brian Jones was kicked out because he was off his face half the time and they started easing him out of the band by letting him record but then taking his parts of the songs off the recording and he wouldnt notice because of the drugs.

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

Thank you, Mike Douglas, for bringing white rock to TV back in the day...

[fourty5mag]

One thing leads to another.

[laukemp1]

mIKE jAGGER....21

[stanleysoldman]

great, cool film

[thefallofoscar]

wished girls in the audience still acted like that in front of talented musicians and not justin bieber.

[kellann22]

@thefallofoscar your a genius

[kristoffmcewan]

which kind of nerds were there in the audience??????

[1948jay]

@kristoffmcewan This was 1964. The Beatles and Rolling Stones were relatively new bands and teenagers had a lot of catching up to do after listening to Bobby Vinton and Frankie Avalon for years. This audience undoubtedly was composed of exactly the same kind of nerds that would learn what rock could be over the following five years. Thankfully the Stones were among the professors doing the teaching and not Lady Gaga.

[kristoffmcewan]

@1948jay absolutely mate, it was just a joke ;-) i knew anything you said. luckily for us, the Stones made that job in the right time...

cheers

[darthsadic]

beside being one of the greatest bands of all time they hold the best name a rock band can ever have.

[13loomisst]

Great. Thanks very much.

[gbsk12]

As far as I know, this was the first RS song released in the States. It is the first one by them I ever heard and it was so different, I was blown away. Still a classic.

[alexdroogie100]

Looks like a Super Reverb Keef is pushin with that casino

[littleitalyblogspot]

For sure Buddy put guitars into their hands

[tim60s321]

this is the stones i knew and loved--- before they became the strolling bones! in my opinion they have done nothing good since 1973--they became too famous and it went to their heads

[snatchhog]

@tim60s321 lol they were great then noone needs to see a 100 year old mick

[silentbox]

@tim60s321 your out of your head,,,,,what a stupid comment

[tim60s321]

@silentbox ok ok please name me 5 good songs they did since 1973-i dont blame them -creativity tends to fade away with age and they must get so bored churning out the same old show year after year-about a year ago i went to see Beggars Banquet an excellent stones tribute who sounded just like the stones used to- the stones just dont sound like that now-its a bit like watching grandads play football-dont stop them if thats what they want to do but i wont pay a penny to watch- im their age b 1948

[TheBGSMusic]

@tim60s321 the core of what you're getting at, I agree with, but I'd put the cutoff date at least into 1980 somewhere...they still held up pretty well in the 70s, though they were never quite as good live without Mick Taylor....

[mikegalsworthy]

Brian was a real bluesman - that harmonica playing is simply class.

[penfloyd]

@mikegalsworthy

Good Comment......Iv,e always believed the Stones best music was up until Brians death in 1969.

After that it was less rythm/blues oriented and commercial.

Fleetwood Mac sadly went down that same road.

[thewill2pwr]

Brian in top form as usual....and back in the day when Sir Mick played FOUR maracas!

[boazyu]

Play those funky maracas Mick.! And what a mind bending harmonica by Brian.

The Stones = Numero Uno Group of All Time

[silentbox]

@boazyu 

[georgeharrison022543]

I love Brian so much, especially his dancing here!

[Jaggeh33]

wow, mick without wrinkles.  been decades since then lol

[boazyu]

OMG Mick on the maracas ! Love this !

[shanehenning26]

happy birthday bill wyman

[davinciyeager]

Too bad there weren't any close ups.

[idontsingisang]

sounds like Bo Diddley... yup thats where it started.

[crackheadmanning]

without buddy we would not have the stones or the beatles

[Groove1993]

@crackheadmanning without chuck berry we would not have the stones or beatles

[makingsense53]

@Groove1993 Without God we wouldn't have had Adam & Eve or Chuck Berry. I'm sorry I've always been a smart ass. Peace.

[Groove1993]

@makingsense53 sure, god or whatever you call it

[makingsense53]

@Groove1993 Be careful that's what got John Lennon in trouble after he made the controversial statement that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus or God whatever it is.

[SirPwn4lot]

@crackheadmanning Well, without Robert Johnson none of this would have existed. Without Beethoven and Mozart none of this would have existed. It's a useless point. Without the population of the Earth in 8000BC we wouldn't have the Stones or the Beatles.... so?

[nsteph999]

@SirPwn4lot The point was the original song was written by Buddy Holly! Not that he was just inspired smarta**!

[Bazement258Studios]

@crackheadmanning We'd still have the Beatles.

[crackheadmanning]

@Bazement258Studios buddys influence

[dclubb83]

@Bazement258Studios

"The first thing we ever recorded was That'll Be The Day, a Buddy Holly song, and one of Paul's called In Spite Of All The Danger."

[miaa981]

@dclubb83 I LOVE IN SPITE OFF ALL THE DANGER! <3 It was Paul's and George's <3 I LOVE BEATLES

[gentlemenjocard]

Ol Brian boy, he could rip one mean harmonica.

[pirateXsatellite]

lol. why did they used to scream like that?

[televisionlighter]

@pirateXsatellite

most of those people screaming on tv shows like that were hired, it was a stupid fanfare thing tv shows used to do.

[fridaymylove]

@televisionlighter you are so wrong! i was there and knowbody told me to sceam it was just wot you did back then REMEMBER we had nothing really untill the stones came along and did wot they did to us teenagers

[r0llskyay0]

those chicks in the audience are so fucking annoying. i guess stupid screaming bitches have been around since the beginning of time, like cockroaches

[fridaymylove]

@r0llskyay0 my oh my you must be so young!!!

[silentbox]

@r0llskyay0 wow another stupid comment,,what a jackass you are

[Bwahzehdezooner]

Great old live footage! Thanks for posting this.

[LeZimen]

Nice cover, guys!

[lukemandeseold]

"Oh, not fi da why, the rolling stilns!"

[3chrds]

@lukemandeseold

[hedydust]

This is great Thank you for posting this :)

[hicks727]

Thank god Charlie got a job playing drums for the Stones....50 years with the same company......There's nothing else he is qualified to do...He can't even form a complete sentence.....Ditch digger or best time keeper in the world???

[hardrock1996af]

The Best Version of Not Fade Away

[surferjay1]

what harmonica is brian using,it looks like he has two of them,i wanted to know what key he uses 

[Bwahzehdezooner]

@surferjay1 Two harps is right. He's playing an A and a D harp...back and forth.

[ryanspeed]

I like the way Bill Wyman holds that bass...not only is he playing it, he's making out with it! : )

[luvBHIC]

Buddy's version is the best, but I think this is the best cover of it :D

[ubuybuyb]

VAMOS  LOS STONES

[ubuybuyb]

AGUANTE LOS STONES

[jbhchan]

BEAUTIFUL HARMONICA PLAY BY BRIAN JONES. A TRAGEDY HE DIED SO EARLY!!

[salmonfishandships]

this is a magical tune

[amyandcharlie]

THIS IS NOT THE STONES AT THEIR BEST BECAUSE IT WAS A STRAIGHT COPY OF BUDDY HOLLY'S SONG!!!!!

[debiedog1]

The Stones at the start and at their best.

[craigmacnaughton]

"Not fade away..."

[sz3rd]

Mr. schillid, dude you a god thanks for the clip........

[ubuybuyb]

AMAZING BRIAN JONES IN HARMONICA !!!!!

[airsoftloverusp]

BUDDY HOLLY FTW!

[stoprejectingmynames]

The Rolling Stones will never fade away.

[derwos]

how come there's only like twenty people in the audience?

[derwos]

what kind of accent was the announcer's?

[electricprunes1]

@derwos Fake Cockney

[derwos]

@electricprunes1 ah. thanks. but why? ^_-

[electricprunes1]

@derwos cuzz if Mike Douglas had a genuine Cockney accent he wouldn't have had to fake one!

[debiedog1]

The real Rolling Stones - before the heavy drugs and jealousy.

[giacobaldi2]

Brian was truly a master harmonica player

Look what youve done , 2120 , ect ect

another good performance to see him play harp is NME 1964

[357HFC]

A cover maybe. But what a cover. Shows their real talent.
