  • fucking jerks wouldn't even give the sax a spotlight.

  • One helluva kick-ass Stones song. Nice to see it live in '72! Bobby Keyes + Mick Taylor = a great show.

  • classic [performance

    would love to have seen them trying out the songs from exile,....

  • ***** raw,.....

  • Oh so this is where Steven Tyler ripped his shtick off from.

  • keef <3

  • damn lemme git a hit

  • The sax solo makes this song what it is...GREAT rock & roll! Bobby Keyes is one of the few musicians in the world who actually makes the Stones sound better! Every sax solo he plays takes that particular song to a whole new level. His Brown Sugar solo is a timeless masterpiece, and go listen to his solo on Casino Boogie on Exile. I just can't get enough of his horn.

  • @bluesmandoc Bluesman...good call! The Stones were making fantastic music in '72, but they also knew how to pick great sidemen - and Keyes is one of them. You are so right - it takes an exceptional musician to know how to add, and not detract from a great song. To paraphrase BB - it's not just the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play. BTW - whatever happened to Bobby Keyes?

  • G DAMN!!!!!! Webster's version of Rock N Roll

  • God.Keith is so cool! 8-)

  • I love it when Mick hits the horn player on the ass with his scarf, and the horn guy is like WTF!

  • Beatles sang harmonies live. Stones 'never' sing harmonies live. Jags 'always' rushes the lyrics. Stones 'change' songs to three chords. Stones live, best garage band in the world. (and I've seen stones live.)

  • If the Stones sang sterile harmonies like the Beatles it would've ruined the point of their existence.

  • If by "sterile" you mean "in tune", you are obviously right.

  • No, I meant sterile, as in a castrated boy's choir. Why the Stones' sloppiness and guts mean so much.

  • I agree with what you have said. What I am saying is Stones do not sing harmonies live the same as Stones sing harmonies in studio. My comparison is that Beatles live tried to be as good as Beatles studio. Stones live do not attempt to be as good as Stones studio.

  • Simply not true - the Stones Bigger Bang tour had many moments of smoking musicianship and Mick singing strong vocals on Ruby Tuesday, Angie, Paint It Black, etc. etc. etc. The Beatles stuff thanks to George Martin's endless production always sounded overly polished and computerized anyway, so what does it matter if they sounded that way onstage? May as well be Moby onstage playing a sample.

  • O.k. Good to hear they were 'making it happen.

    What does it matter? When I pay for my ticket, I expect that musicians will perform at a level far above my level of musicianship (and my level ain't much).

    Otherwise, get the neighborhood band together and play the songs our way...for free.

  • This is not quite true and not quite fair. Stones did sing harmonies live to their best limited abilities. Taking into account they had lead singer with limited voice and a backup singer who could not sing, they did quite well. Beatles had three signers who could sing perfect and complex harmonies. Also, most Beatles songs have very simple chord progressions, which stems from to a large extent from the limitations of the genre of music in which both bands excelled.

  • Really? Did not know this. Thought Jagger was as good a singer as anyone. Only one backup singer? Keith? Not Bill and Charlie and Brian, Mick T.,Ron? If this is true, I have learned today. Thanks for info.

  • Can't beat 'Exile On Mainstreet'... what an album...

  • yep

  • Love this song - thanks for the upload!

  • The dude is unreal. Love it.

  • beatles good in studio, stones good in studio and stage...stones better! simply!

  • I might be oversimplifying things but what made the Stones better than the Beatles were songs/performances like this which were powerful, and had "oomph," if you know what I mean.

  • I wish I had seen them in the 70s !!! To watch Mick there is like being in paradise :D I wanna see the Stones so bad that it even hurts ...

  • fucking brilliant. Jagger at his very very best

  • Beatles.. Stones... the age old question to which there can be only one definitive answer........................­.they both are awesome, Let it Bleed vs. Let it Be,, its all good either way.. But since were talking Stones this whole tour is just a rock n roll tutorial. and teden if you think this is the hardest song to pull off what do you think when you hear Hendrix play "Killing Floor" at Monterey????

  • B progression. I do not understand why the Stones did this song live. Ok, in the studio, it is a rockin freak fest. but live? this might be the hardest song to play live in the history of rock. save, 'search and destroy' by the stooges. but, i mean hell, why...try to play it live. it is impossible. yet..they did it.

  • Here's the deal - the Beatles were the biggest thing ever. There were all the English bands, and then there were the Beatles towering miles above, in record sales and influence.

    BUT -

    notice this clip is from 1972, two years after the Beatles split up. They hadn't played live since '66.

    Huge difference. The Stones were always about live performance as well as making records. They've been at it, since this movie was made, for THIRTY-SEVEN years, and had been together almost TEN by '72.

  • Beatles were like McDonald's. Billions and Billions sold, but who are Happy Meals for anyway? Stones are for people who don't like the grit all polished off, the fans that count.

  • @frankffoxx

    You seem to be forgetting the rooftop concert. Easily bits in musicality anything Stones eve came up with. Well, maybe I am exaggerating, but just a tiny bit :-)

  • Rooftop show like a performance at a nursing home. Stones would've plunged them to the street.

  • I agree. If you are into wild jumping and out of tune singing, you've got a point.

    Not that I do not love Stones, though :-)

  • best band ever and jagger is unique!!!!

  • (1970 Interview) ROLLING STONE: What do you think of the Stones today?

    LENNON: I think it's a lot of hype. I like "Honky Tonk Woman" but I think Mick's a joke, with all that fag dancing, I always did. I enjoy it, I'll probably go and see his films and all, like everybody else, but really, I think it's a joke. But they are not in the same class (as The Beatles), music-wise or power-wise, never were.

  • Lennon just liked to nervously mouth off because he threw his career away to be with no-talent Yoko while the Stones continued to be world conquerers. Beatles were smiley family friendly entertainers (and completely lifeless onstage compared to the Stones) with a few hard tracks buried on the White Album while the Stones delivered single after single of balls-out Rock. Lennon just couldn't handle being stuck in a moped band. Pathetic, mouthy egomaniac walled up in the Dakota. Sad end.

  • True, no one can equal Bill Wyman's or Mick Taylor's stage presence (They were too busy being MUSICIANS.) Can you say "POSER?

  • Mick alone had more stage presence than the bobbing up and down Beatles combined. No, but I can say JEALOUS ASSHOLE.

  • I'm sure Mick is jealous of the Beatles, otherwise, why would he copy their every move? (Let It Be ...Let It Bleed ...)

  • Dude, just go play Beatles Rock Band and pretend the band is still together. I gotta go tickets for the next Stones tour...

  • I saw The Stones in '66 here in Memphis, again in 1975, in '93, and I won 2 pairs of tickets to the "Babble -On" tour in NM, and in St. Louis. I love The Stones, and I know you'll see a great show. I'm just playing devil's advocate, that's all. I just don't think they've progressed much since '73. Thanks for the insight. Didn't mean for it to disentegrate into a game of "one-upsmanship." You can never prove a point based on opinion...

  • Sure, whatever.

  • hmmm....Chuck Berry's "Let It Rock"

  • Pablo Picasso: "Good artists copy, great artists steal." McCartney's always said The Beatles 'stole' more than anybody. Lennon's point was that Jagger acted as if The Stones were so revolutionary, and never admitted The Beatles' consistent influence on their work. ...I take it as "Imitation is the sincerest flattery." That, and there's only 12 notes/keys to work with, so everybody borrows from everybody. There's nothing new under the sun. Every painting has 3 colors as their basis.

  • Name the first song to 'chart' sung by the Stones. Name the composers of that song.

  • Sure - it was Come On, by Chuck Berry. Ranked 21 in the UK charts in 1963. Next question.

  • You quote me very well:

    randytoma (2 hours ago)

    that sub-par piece of shit I Wanna Be Your Man: The Rolling Stones' first single was a cover of Chuck Berry's "Come On." With Oldham dispatching fan club members to buy copies at record shops which were polled by the charts, it reached number 21 in the UK. During this tour the Rolling Stones recorded their second single, a Lennon/McCartney-penned number entitled "I Wanna Be Your Man; ....... it reached number 12 in the UK charts.

  • Whoa! Outstanding! I thought it was the Beatle song. Well done.

    Apples and Oranges, both fruit (no innuendos intended.)

  • "Plastic Soul, ...plastic soul")

  • What??? You don't think that 'Don't Worry Kyoko, Mummie's Only Looking For Her Hand In The Snow' is the greatest rock song of all time???

    If you have not done so, look up Dirty Mac. Now there was a 'band' (true, one gig.)

    Beatles and Stones performed on each other's albums (really)

    Rock musicians = Egomaniacs? Now you are being silly.

  • Many good points (except for your points on The Beatles.) Remember, they wrote The Stones 1st chart record, AND it was George's recommendation that got them signed in London to their 1st recording contract.) Stage presence does not equal consummate entertainers (see The Spice Girls.) I like Paul's comment on Oasis, as it could be said about Mick & The Boys: "They're derivative, and think too much of themselves." But I agree, I don't like but a couple of solo Lennon songs.

  • Mick doing his best Tina Turner

  • People make Tina comparisons but she never had Mick's gonzo energy onstage; he's a class unto himself.

  • Lennon re: Jagger/Stones: I would like to just list what we did and what the Stones did two months after on every fuckin' album. Every fuckin' thing we did, Mick does exactly the same — he imitates us. And I would like one of you fuckin' underground people to point it out, you know "Satanic Majesties" is Pepper ...

  • mick is so amazing, one of the world greatest entertainers. Also he IS the most attractive man in the world. Exile On Maint Street was a great album, and rip this joint is one of my favorite tracks.

  • are there any video lessons for the whole exile on main street?

  • Perfect. And, I agree; Beatles v Stone: apples and oranges

  • Apples v. doorknobs

  • my fav song from Exile! mick jagger is so epic

  • Better than the Beatles? That whole thing is really tired. It's apples and oranges.

  • Agree how somebody compare Beatles to Stones?Both are great and both created their own unique style.

  • fuck you beatles!

  • ok then............

  • Uhu!

  • Is that an armadillo?

  • spettacoloooooooooo

  • more drugs

  • great

  • LMAO at Keith rocking it up with Charlie......while Mick Taylor is asleep at the wheel. Great song from a masterpiece of an album.

  • Best band ever, period. best decade for rock. Besides Stones peaking, you also had Who, Zep, and Floyd, at thier best.

  • better than the beatles

  • Wow! Forgot Exile had so many great songs. This is my favorite Stones period, 69-72. Mick Taylor was awesome!

  • I agree. He was the last good guitarist in the Stones. Very talented author too.

  • My favorite Rolling Stones song which is saying a lot considering the plethora of great songs in their discography.

  • Even better than the album version. Outstanding!

  • great song

  • ROCK ROCK ROCK !!! BOBBY KEYS IS GREAT !

  • rest in peace with our joint

  • RIP THIS JOINT!!!!!!!!

  • best time ever all the dope and bitches and all the guitars you can ever have..

  • i wanna go back to the 70's good drugs cool clothes great music!

  • i just " listened " to this song an hour ago with my friends... if you catch my drift... lol

  • One big difference when comparing the Stones to the Beatles is: after 1970, they had some other really good years.

  • Well mate considering the Beatles broke up before the 70s, the Stones get that by default. But are you then implying that neither Lennon, McCartney, Harrison nor Starr had any good songs in the 70s?

  • Photograph, Silly Love Songs, Give me Love, and Mind Games don't compare to the full on 70's Stones.

  • would'nt ya like 2 grab on 2 a piece of this...ladies & gentlemen...the greatest rock and roll band in the world...THE ROLLING STONES!!!

  • In D, use chords: D, A, G, Em

    greets

  • the stones were a huge part of my youth. Keith was my hero for so long. I have moved on but still think the Stones were the greatest song-writers and blues-rock practitioners ever. They wrote SO many beautiful songs. Too bad they just play stadiums now--that is not a rock show. They have to play in a 5000-seat place to make it a real rock show.

  • I know what you mean. On The Hot Licks Tour (2002)they did a show at The Wiltern Theatre(3500-seats) It was the best show I have been to,ma. I don't think anything will top that in my life..Peace..

  • ROCKIN!!!!!!!!

  • Or an eight gram joint...

  • now i want some cocaine....

  • what the crap........ chill with the arguing.....

  • mick looks like he might be packing down there lol

  • yeah

  • Only Mick could get away with wearing that outfit.

  • Jumpy a good second track for exile works well after rocks off

  • It just had to be sax driven this number.Bobby Keys delivered it good syle and made this one of the best R&Roll numbers by the Stones at their peak.

  • Great song!! I heard a Little Richard song that sounds exactly like this tune I think the stones lifted the pace and the groove but they would gladly admit it. They always supported thier heroes. Stray Cat Blues pace was lifted from the Velvet Undergrounds "Heroin". Mick freely admitted it. I love that about them. they aren't ashamed to pay homage to thier roots.

  • As Leonard Cohen once said: The half assed one borrowes, the genious steals!

  • Leonard Cohen stole that from Picasso. "A god artist borrowes, a great artist steals."

  • wow, cool, i didn't know that...thanx for the input.

  • The Velvet Underground are their 'roots' huh?

  • mick jagger is awesome

  • Wait...

    I'm getting something over the news wire...

    THIS JUST IN: You're an arse.

  • For all you little morons who don't like my previous comment, I will assume then that you like terrorists who kill innocent people. So, stick your stupidity where the sun doesn't shine, which would not include your head, because that has a hole in it.

  • no one gives a shit dickhead.

  • Get the fuck outta here.

  • got the cocksucker blues today?

  • The Stones circa 1969-1972 delivered the most soulful and energetic rock EVER!!

  • totally agree

  • this song is the definition of rock and roll

  • A gem among others.

  • A band that delivers!

    Taylor's influence during this time was magic.

  • Mick's fucking ripping!!!!!!

  • ESSA MUSICA E FODA!!!!!

  • Such a bad ass song.

  • Mick jAgger's the ultimate rockstar..The band is on fire

  • much as i love the guitars- keef and mick taylor rocked SO hard- it's the sax dude! i'm almost 54 and THAT was the best sax i eveer had! mmm yummy

  • Yup!!!!!!!!

  • bobby keys

  • The Greatest EVER! Bar None! Too many classics to compete with! Stones Rule. Will never die.

  • MAMA SAID YEAH, PAPA SAID NO

  • I luv this frigging band!!!!!

  • This... is... THE ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC!

  • NO, he is on rock'n roll haha

  • ROCK AND ROLL FEVER!!!!!!!!!!

  • haha I love when I swings his "pant-scarf" on the sax player! haha not to mention his last rolls on the floor!

  • I don't know why, but every time I listen to this song, it makes me think of Gengis Khan and his hordes sweeping through the world...

  • if I were taken by an alien spaceship and told I had to give them one example of what rock and roll music was-thiswould be it

  • if mj and kr and been a little nicer to mick taylor he would have stayed. give the guy some writing credit and make him feel accepted and the stones keep on rockin. sad to say that by 75' the stones were on the downhill. i wish mick taylor would be invited back but he hasn't been so i guess that cements why he left in the first place

  • Part of what you say is true. But it is known he was shy, got tired of the "scene" and developed a nasty drug habit as did Richards. But he always felt a little out of place. Too bad, the guitar playing he laid down with The Stones were the best era for me anyway. I think he just got tired of it all. And with a habit it's easy to quit and not tour.

  • yeah your comment i found more true on that note.

  • taylors fantastic..but i think that they did great stuff after,all bands fade :(

    but their later albums etc i love...keep smiling

  • theres only 3 real stones. charlie mick and keith.BILL LEFT. BRIAN DIED. MICK DIDNT FIT.AND RONNIE IS A WORK HORSE. BUT TO BE HONEST . RONNIE IS A STONE TOO.THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FUCKED WITHOUT HIM.

  • Yeah, but if it wasnt for Brian, there would be no Stones.

  • that's bullshit,Charlie is the man

  • Do you homework. Brian founded the stones. No Brian.. no stones.

  • you are wrong bitch,no cahrlie no stones no beatles no chuk berry no goddamn rock and roll music

  • a band is founded by all the members of it.

  • yeah but realize he couldnt do much musically by 1967. he was a vegitable crippling slowly.

  • One cannot underestimate Bobby Keys, Jim Price and Ian Stewart were to the Rolling Stones. Everything was in perfect place for the 72 tour.

  • dont forget hopkins!

  • to be honest taylor was the BEST stone.

  • Vous savez, Exile on main street...n'est ce pas un des meilleurs albums stonien?! ♥

  • Ville Nellcote ?

  • 0:25-0:34.....keith look so fuckkin cool

  • mick taylor looks so bored. no wonder he quit the band.

  • He always looks like that...Bill Wyman was no thunderbolt himself.

  • i remember reading an interview with taylor after he quit the stones. he said the main reason he quit--other then jagger and richards refusing him song writing credit on exile--was that he would get so bored playing live that each song seemed to go on forever.

  • Bored playin behind that band. Thats crazy. He was concentrating on his playing and wasn't flashy. The song writing credits, party scene, and feeling as if he was a little out of place did him in. Some of that has to do with replacing Jones, and developing a habit didn't help either.

  • 2:15... lmao

  • Mais oui certains jeunes n'écoute pas rihanna! Comme moi! Hahaha les stones c'était la jeunesse de mes parents, ce sera la mienne

  • Bravo serialrockeuse ! Je t'épouse demain si tu veux !!! ;-)))

  • the stones in a club is the best

  • Si c'est pas énorme ca! J'ai eu exile on main street ya un mois, et jai jamais autant écouté un album! xD

  • Ca fait plaisir de voir des "jeunes" qui ont du goût !!! Dépêche-toi de compléter ta collection des Stones, the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world ever !! Saute en particulier sur "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out", pour moi le meilleur album de rock, toutes catégories confondues !

  • translator please someone.
