in N.Y Madison Square Garden / Nov28th,1969
(lyrics)
One two
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the drivin' rain
But it's all right yeah,it's alright
In fact it's a gas but it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas gas gas

I was raised by a toothless bearded hag
I was schooled with a strap right across my back
But it's all right yeah,it's all right
In fact it's a gas, but it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
it's a gas gas gas

I was drowned ,I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
And I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I was crowned with a spike right through my head
But it's all right yeah,it's all right
In fact it's a gas, but it's all right
I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
it's a gas gas gas

  • @Keepsu I said the Yardbirds did it WELL first although so did Muddy and Wolf's guitarists. I was wrong about Keith thinking he is the originator of everything. Instead, everybody besides him thinks he is the originator of everything. Keith is overrated like every other mother fucker that plays music, except for the really talented soulful instrumentalists that deserve more recognition. Case and point: Mike Bloomfield and Mick Taylor. Also, Little Richard kicks more ass than Stones and Berry.

  • @cameltooth1 If "Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters' guitarists were doing that way back in the 50s and before," then how can you say the Yardbirds did it first? Also, since Keith often refers to the "ancient" art of weaving, it stands to reason that he knows others were doing it long before he was, so your claim that he "thinks he is originator of everything" (sic) is weaker than Larry King's urine stream.

  • For me, this and the original studio version are the best. It's a fav Stones song of mine, Wood has at times ruined this song for me by over doing it with Brian Jone's fade out riff playing it as many as 15 times throughout the song I've counted and hey that's over doing it, I can't count on this song being all it could/should be with Wood there, but I love Wood otherwise. To his defense he doesn't kill this song every time just sometimes. sorry

  • THESE were the days.

  • "Welcome to the Breakfast Show." Mick Jagger is the greatest...one for the ages.

  • @Lordcahoona it isn't a solo, it's just part of the rhythm track, no different than the record. The solo starts @3:31.

  • Best rockumentary ever.

  • @Lordcahoona Thumps up if you think The Rolling Stones never became the same after Mick Taylor left.. though they are still the greatest rock and roll band in the world and Keith and Mick J wrote 10 of the best rock songs ever.

  • This isn't the best version of the song from 1969, but nobody ever did it better sounding than the Stones in '69. The Rolling Stones couldn't even play it as good later with the horn section. Johnny Winter over does it. Leon Russell does alright.
