Rolling Stones - Beast Of Burden - Live '78 Fort Worth

[AbbeyRoad94]

I didnt know that Eric burden is The owner of a beast

[makatony]

This is what rock & roll is supposed to be...

great great stuff...

[cbus03]

I completely agree. I prefer these raw vocals.

[boatdocksleft]

Hi i am a 16 year old kid from California, and I would just like to make a public apology for what our generation has done to music

[abrekutu]

@boatdocksleft It is generous of you to apologize for what your generation has done to music. However, you personally have nothing to apologize for; you obviously have exemplary taste. By the way, I came of age listening to the Rolling Stones. I am in my sixties.

[thediazbrothers]

only in adam levine's wet dreams does he have moves like jagger.

[JappDubbel]

What a big picture quality difference from this bootleg version to the 2011 release!

[Baardnick]

@JappDubbel can you send a link pls? :)

[JappDubbel]

@Baardnick Sorry only have the dvd

[cbus03]

Mick is so fuckin intense on this version. It seems like a personal performance, directed at somebody. This is just awesome.

[rootbound420]

@cbus03 yea mick sounds and kinda looks pissed huh.. this is great..way better vocals then the studio beast of burdon in my opinion.

[pierdolefication]

great performance

[makatony]

fabulous

[815robbie]

simply awesome

[JohnHardingBuxton]

Love the vibe going on between and Keith and Ronnie here. Self proclaimed shredders might not be impressed but this a great example of how to play. How to weave.

[naticio]

they should focus more on magnificent keith richards, he got the rhythm here...he dances when he plays guitar!!

[Jpanetta]

i dont kno this has always been one of my fav stones tunes... cant ever get enuf of it

[rothsuede]

Mick don't sound that good, Like he is a little mad or something. He doesn't sound sweet and sincere like on the album.

[RussianGirlsNYC]

never realized Ronnie does the middle guitar solo.

[REMCUREBOY]

This band really is just perfect.

[Funkyfeder]

is mick on coke or so he looks and sing so...high^^ but graet performance baby in keiths words

[glimr2win]

@Funkyfeder Mick has to smoke a couple joints, do some blow & bolt down some whiskey to "become Mick Jagger" whereas Keith is more naturally "Keith Richards" ( he probably already did those three things anyway)

love 'em both though.

[Funkyfeder]

is mick on coke or so he looks and sing so...high^^

[sherrie379]

Love this song.. kinda sexy don't you think? .. Love the Stones.. Mick and Keith.. alright!!

[stercoraniste333]

@sherrie379

It certainly is. When a man dances to it with a young woman miracles happen. Well, it happened to me - a long time ago.

[herbiemarx01]

Mick Jagger did a very smart thing as the decades went on, he kept his hair the same length, all these other rock starts kept up with the style, and it just looks horrible on them, Mick never had a mullit, or anything else really. He is very smart for doing that, he still has great hair!

[ImJake50]

Best live version I've seen so far it's pure genius !!!!!!!! I freakin love this song god the new generation of music makes me sad

[REMCUREBOY]

Love the video...love the Stones...but I can't believe Mick has Johnny Rotten's "Destroy" shirt on... c'Mon Mick... enough. :-)

[MMRJL]

@REMCUREBOY he's being ironic and taking the piss with the t shirt and the Stones were themselves 'punks' and upsetters of the norm in the 60s (Pistols turned into a total nostalgia act too by the way); more worrying is the trousers Mick's wearing!

[REMCUREBOY]

@MMRJL I agree about the the Pistols now, became a total joke, while the Stones became one of the best bands ever. I never thought I'd say that, but as I've matured and grew older, I realize the RS are just about one of the best bands ever, while I haven't listented to the SP in ages.

[jamiebraces]

wish i coulda been there. shame i was born 15 years later... this is a top band at their very best in my opinion

[lilSnubby]

Legendary performance

[MMRJL]

You come back to this. R & R perfection. Keith ain't sure of the words but that adds to it. He is very sure of the guitar; the final weave with excellent, understated Ronnie is trademark Stones.Bill's bass sound is bigged-up and he and Charlie hold this strung-out version tight. Mick is a man with a message to impart! The fey single glove, non-blinking eyes and ridiculous, I-got-todger-trousers are all curious but it's part of the mix of a memorably brilliant performance by him and the band.

Incredible version

[mylilsha7]

The definition of REAL MUSICS was created in the 70's!!!!!

[mylilsha7]

the 70's music was sent to us from the heavens, hasn't been a generation that has topped there ability to quite serenate us quite like thay did!

[toomoose1]

Epic classic

[zizou214]

alfonsomarisol, you have no idea what you´re talking about!!!! with ronnie, the stones grew miles in stage, power and show!! plus taylor couldn´t hang out beinng a stone... ronnie was perfect in every sense to the band!!! plus taylor didn´t play rythm guitar, which ronnie does perfectly well...

[zizou214]

alfonsomarisol, you have no idea what you´re talking about!!!! with ronnie, the stones grew miles in stage, power and show!! plus taylor couldn´t hang out beinng a stone... ronnie was perfect in every sense to the band!!!

[Alfonsomarisol]

miss a lot Mick taylor. this version is very good...but R Wood is the son of Mick Taylor, speaking of guitarists. A pitty.

[cbus03]

Mick was directing this performance to somebody. You can tell it was personal, and someone was on his mind. My gawd what a hot performance. Mick on fire, beautiful guitar weaving, everything about this is just rocknroll magic.

[japazrock]

amazing guitar riffs!

[ralieghTsakers]

hot damnBABY!!

[mager003]

This live version is Awesome!! Why does Mick sing it like shit now??

[Millieex33]

@mager003 Cocaine, cigaretts... some more drugs; in the long run it catches up to you and I'm guessing that's what happened to Mick. But for a man in his late 60s, he looks great, and I can definitely say he still has that spunk when he performs!

[boulderjames]

@Millieex33 - I would also add, IMHO, that at this time the Stones were fighting the perception that their best days were behind them and with the Punk Movement they were not feeling viable any longer... thus I think this tour, which I rate as one of the best, is their attempt to put to rest that they cannot put the heart and feeling back into the music, kind of like, "Don't think we got it? Take this..."

[abrekutu]

@stercoraniste-very well-put.

[stercoraniste333]

The Rolling Stones are a millstone round my neck. When I compare making love to a woman over 40 years of age and listening to their music, I unrepentantly choose the latter. I will die a chaste man - chaster than the Pope.

[KellyGreen5555]

@stercoraniste333 What are you on about? You only want to schtoop teenage girls? UGH.

[stercoraniste333]

@KellyGreen5555

Good Heavens, no! They would cause even more trouble. I´m an empiricist, though. Hopefully.

[IvanTheReasonable]

@stercoraniste333 You should try multi-tasking

[abrekutu]

@IvanTheReasonable That's a funny comment!

[IvanTheReasonable]

@stercoraniste333 You should try multi-tasking

[MMRJL]

You read Keith's book. Then you watch this. This is r & r at its pinnacle.

[kaohsiung99]

Listen to this on Headphones!!!!

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Gosh, I am just crazy about Ronnie. He's so cute and amazing. I just love his guitar playing here, such a great tone. :)

[TheTomppa72]

gdgedrgedr

[TheTomppa72]

ertyewwetywertyw

[TheTomppa72]

So, so wonderful!!!!

[TheTomppa72]

So, so wonderful!!!!

[andy23822]

Best. Version. Ever.

[makatony]

A live version is very different to any recording and always better, especially if you're there. The whole sound is fabulous. Stones Forever!!!

[stercoraniste333]

@WooHaWater

Well, you´re right. He really doesn´t sound like Phil Collins.

[doobiebrother67]

Fabulous!

[pyro2020]

Love the Way he Walks of Stage after hes done singing hahaha

[cindyshealed]

Very nice. :-)

[JosephErnestHarper]

Does anyone know if there are live versions where he does the falsetto like in the recording. Love the falsetto. Kills.

[cbus03]

Mick sang his heart out on this version.  BEST FRONTMAN EVER!

[sirwizzlemims]

just incredible

[robin14669]

Amazing how rapidly Keith's voice had changed from let's say 1973 to 1978.

[pyro2020]

My favorite Version of this song love it so much

Favorite Rolling Stones live performance ever

[Krznb6]

Real Professional view!!

[januarysixteenth]

This is amazing.

[jocean85]

i totally agree. best version i've found

[Tubeador]

Mick is wearing the Destroy t-shirt. The Sex Pistols used to wear this "punk t-shirt".

[whitemanfromSC]

"put me out on the street, put me out with no shoes on my feet, but put me out of misery!" u can see his sincerity. mickjagger is badass.

[DANGELOSOLD]

MICK IS THE BEST...FORT WORTH IS A GREAT CITY. THE STONES ARE THE BEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD...78 WAS A GREAT YEAR...THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO... THIS IS MUSIC NOT A POLITCAL GATHERING..MAYBE THE BLEEDING HEART LIBERALS SHOULD KEEP THEIR POLITAL VEIWS TO THEMSELF AND LEARN HOW TO SEPERATE THE TWO,AND LET PEOPLE ENJOY MUSIC WITHOUT THEIR PERSONAL VEIWS REGARDING POLITALITICS... THANKS AGAIN FOR SOME REAL MUSC...

[jaysfca]

@DANGELOSOLD You should follow your own advice.

[stableshadow]

@DANGELOSOLD Rock on, brother...

[pachacutti]

@DANGELOSOLD Sympathy for the devil, sweet black angel, high wire, undercover of the night, street fighting man, when the whip comes down....all as political as it gets if you consider the lyrics as much as you consider the instrumentals. High wire you may recall was a strong outspoken song about the illegal dessert storm war George Bush created. So many young Americans died for OIL! It isn't that he was a Republican but his son is no different. All about power and money.

[iorr247]

Listen to Bill Wyman's bass on this version, volume turned up- higher than ususal. Absolutely fantastic. Kinda makes you miss old Bill doesn't it?

[stableshadow]

@iorr247 He was damn good...

[Andoy1]

@iorr247 i loved Bill's bass -- gave the Stones depth -- the latest Stones suffer w/o him

[MrCorbett26]

Andoy1, sorry, I disagree. Don't think Bill added anything. Good riddance,

[boulderjames]

This Tour in support of Some Girls was a response to the Punk movement currently raging in the US and UK and they were getting back to their seedier side, to sort of speak, thus the real trashy, raw feel of the band. This was the best concert I ever attended, bar none! It was a very small hall with less than 3K seating. You were able to actually hear them through their amps versus the huge arena sound and really hear how great this band was/is... one great night!

[boulderjames]

A little history about this performance... In'78 they were playing the big arenas but also appearing at little theaters, usually unnannounced till the last minute. This show was in July of '78 one week after playing the Superdome in NO. This show was in Will Rogers Theater in Ft Worth Texas and they billed themselves as The London Green Shoed Cowboys. Opening acts were Peter Tosh who was joined by Mick on Don't Look Back and then Doug The Ragin Cajun Kershaw who joined the Stones on Faraway Eyes

[donjudgeestarr]

@boulderjames you are correct sir

[donjudgeestarr]

@boulderjames you are correct sir cept that it was less than a week after NOL

[boulderjames]

@donjudgeestarr - Probably so... have to check to ticket stubs... I just remember it being kind of a crazy week... flew in from NO in time to work my job at Six Flags, I was the lighting director and we had a England Dan and John Ford Colley show and I was a bit hungover from Hurricanes on Bourbon St the night before... then the frantic attempt at getting tickets for the Ft Worth show... which we made it in just as the show was starting.

[palobonito80]

the beste version i ever heard Jesusssss.....

[Skyperunner3]

A really good  and very long live performance of "Beast of burden" some years ago by the rolling Stones!!

[crackernumber2]

micks on downers or somthing his eyes are all fucked...

[cotchford1969]

Mick needs a little sweet chin music from Shawn Michaels @ 5:30!!!!!

[crackernumber2]

4:22 keith and mick love eachother so much............ they seem a bit colder towards eachother nowadays... people get older and change i guess

[haluceN8]

@crackernumber2 thats cause they dont sleep together any more

[crackernumber2]

@haluceN8 lol they asked keith if him and mick ever slept together and he said somthing like "sleep together?? well we slept in the same bed passed out of course? sex?? oh no, i never fancied male bum." LOL

[robielv]

@crackernumber2 yup

[Squarepeg]

SEX-Y!!!!!

[MMRJL]

This 7.04 mins is a time capsule of why The Stones are the one and only greatest rock and roll band in the world.

[nchammer1]

Best version ever.love the "weave" with Ronnie and Keith

[markem62]

@nchammer1 Totally agree.. never heard a symbiosis/synergy between two guitarists that can even match, let alone top, these two on this song..

[corgi37]

This is the forgotten tour. Hardly ever mentioned at all.

[skylek]

Best live version I ever heard.

[Funkyfeder]

@skylek its really nice

[StoWhoFranz]

Love this performance
