Rolling Stones EXILE ON MAIN STREET California 1972

The Rolling Stones were in Los Angeles in 1972, recording at famed Sunset Sound, after spending much of the previous year living as tax exiles in the south of France, where they had recorded the basic tracks for their next album in the basement of Keith Richards' rented villa at Nellcôte. When they were in California, those tracks became the core of "Exile On Main Street."

In Los Angeles, photographer Robert Frank used Super 8mm to film the Stones as they walked along Main Street in LA's skid row.

He also filmed them in Bel Air, a posh suburb nearby.

Frames from this reel were famously used throughout the cover and inner sleeves of "Exile."

As available on DVD, it appears that the original film was cut into short strips, perhaps for Frank's convenience in his darkroom. As a result, nearly all sequences were out of sequence. Frank also edited the 8mm film with other footage he had shot of New York City's skid row, The Bowery. Therefore, FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES, only the Rolling Stones parts are shown here and they have been re-arranged and slowed down.

Make up you mind 'cause I gotta go
I'm gonna raise hell at the union hall
Drive myself right over the wall

Rip this joint gonna save your soul

Roll this joint gonna get down low
Start my starter gonna stop the show
Oh yeah

Mister President Mister Immigration Man
Let me in sweetie to your fair land
I'm Tampa bound and Memphis too
Short Fat Fanny is on the loose
Dig that sound on the radio
Then slip it right across into Buffalo
Dick and Pat in ole DC
Well they're gonna hold some shit for me

Ying yang you're my thing
Oh now baby won't you hear me sing
Flip flop fit to drop
Come on baby won't you let it rock

SOUL SURVIVOR
(M. Jagger / K. Richards)

When the waters is rough
The sailing is tough
I'll get drowned in your love
You've got a cut throat crew
I'm gonna sink under you
I got the bell bottom blues
It's gonna be the death of me
...
That's what I'm talkin' about
Soul Survivor

I'm a lifelong fan and I'm 46 and can't wait to hear the UMG remaster of EOMS and the new 10 tracks cause all the other UMG remasters to my ears, really do make the songs sound even better. The Stones will never be equalled IMO. They've got all the best ingredients in talent. To my ears, their music never ages. It's the craziest thing. I tip my hat to you guyz - love ur work. Can't imagine not having your work to rock out to.

If I would have known the Rolling Stones were in my home town LA.......I would have ran up to Mick and kissed those gorgeous kissable lips of his.

I would make the case that if you watch the whole vid, when 4:47-5:00 kicks in, it is indeed one of the very best moments on all of YouTube.
