Mike Douglas was also a Big Band singer with a popular band so was used to being in Jaggers boots as front man. Side note - all music performances on the Mike Douglas Show were actually done live.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and can remember watching the Mike Douglas Show which got it's start in that city. Filmed in Cleveland until it was moved to Philidelphia in 1965. The show started getting syndicated I think in 1963. His show was quite progressive in getting the current musical artists. Douglas was really a good interviewer
This is June of 64. Vietnam wasn't really even in the public eye yet for the most part, most people didn't even know what LSD was. These were still more 'innocent' times, but that would all change not long after this. It's mind blowing when you look at the changes, both culturally and musically, between 1964 and 1967. The Stones were just starting to be known here in the states at this point, they had just released their first album here. Six months earlier most people didn't even know who The Beatles were, let alone the Stones. The changes in the music scene in those first six months of 1964 are hard to comprehend now. Sixty years ago!
1964 isn't amazing to thing how long the Rolling stones has been performing and it just makes you feel good knowing They're still able to do this on stage even after all These Years.
That's the Mike Douglas Show. And this is the British Invasion. My mother had this on 45 rpm. By the way, Brian Jones could play anything he picked up. You also might notice that Mick hasn't yet adopted his lead singer moves yet. He hasn't been around James Brown yet, and realized you can sing and dance. Janis Joplin credited Otis Redding with showing her a soulful performance style.
First song on their first album. The band is tight! In 1964 Buddy Holly had only been dead five years. Bobby Keys, the Stones’ saxophone player, used to watch Buddy practice in his garage in Lubbock when he was a kid.
they started out as a blues band, chasing Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters (they even took their name from a Muddy Waters Song) . This of course is a Buddy Holly cover, Holly having died just a few years before (along with the music)
I've seen them a number of times. This song was the opener on one of their tours. Mick was launched up through a trap door on stage with a spotlight and sang "I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be..."
Fun to watch Mick and the boys at the beginning of their career , they had no idea then that they would become rock icons and produce some of the greatest music we will ever know still loved and relevant 60 years later. They probably never guessed they would still be selling out stadiums 60 years down the road either!!
I love it that back in those days drum kits contained one snare, one tom and maybe a floor tom, two symbols a hi hat and the bass drum and they were able to make good music on the basics.
Really dig your reactions, Lee. I was in college when the British Invasion occurred, and remember growing my hair out. Outrage is the only word that I can think of to describe the reaction from the previous generation. Keep learning my man, as the line from the song 'Woodstock' goes: " And I don't know who I am, but life is for learning. "
Wow, what a treat to see that clip! Excellent, Lee, you continue to have the best channel for excavating the huge history of the music I love. In ‘64 I discovered the Beatles, a few months later they lost out to the Stones for my affection. Blues all the way.
This song and It's All Over Now were their first singles in America and our introduction to them. This was a Buddy Holly cover but in those early days, the British Invasion groups, including the Beatles, were doing lots of covers of American hits.
Geez I think I saw this, but eons ago? Or maybe not! Can't really remember. But wow. Those girls were *really* adorable. Yeah, history is so fascinating, watching these gems. Brian Jones up front with his harmonica. In many ways this was the real thing. Thanks a lot to you and patron Carole!
Should hear the original Buddy Holly version, as well as That'll Be the Day", "Rave on", and "Everyday" (an early example of using knee slapping as percussion). So many great songs!
Yes, this was the Mike Douglas Show. I love they way Mick answers him with there’s the name of the song right there on the teleprompter. Douglas had some of the latest acts on his show but he was like all the rest. He talked about their hair (which was not long) and made barber jokes. They were really treated like visitors from another planet. He would have felt pretty stupid if he knew Jagger went to the London School of Economics.
You should do an album reaction to "The Rolling Stones Now" or "12x5" both from this era. Great records. The Stones were basically one of the first all white blues bands to break into the "big time".
Sometimes, people forget that Brian Jones was arguably the most popular member in the earliest years, especially with the girls. He was the style icon, and almost every American garage band copied his look, especially his famous hairdo. Pete Townshend referred to him as a “beautiful sheepdog,” and beautiful he certainly was. RIP Brian.
I am getting ready to check these dudes out in 9 days in Las Vegas at Aligiant Stadium. The first time I saw them was in Dallas Texas in 1989. They were ancient back then. Hit up the songs Gimme Shelter, Sympathy for the devil, Jumping Jack Flash, and on that came out about six months ago Sweet Sounds of Heaven.
Actually it was much stricter back then..couldn't say damn or hell on tv..The Mike Douglas show was on around 3-4 in the afternoon...used to watch him after I came home from school...he had some cool people on that you would never see on tv including Zappa, John & Yoko were co hosts for a week..oh & Jimi..
Mike Douglas was a cool straight arrow guy and had a popular show. He had John and Yoko as guest hosts for a week and they had Chuck Berry as musical guest. I read there is a new doc about it. Just thought about it and need to look for that.
this is before the Stones released Satisfaction, and until then, they had a following but weren't superstars yet, ... so they were on this Philadelphia TV show... Satisfaction catapulted them to superstar status, and they would never again consider being on a show like this
So true! He was also one of the first prominent bottleneck players throughout the UK. Brian was indeed a pioneer and one of the integral figures in the blues revival of the 1960s. I don't think he gets enough credit for helping light that spark.
@fuchsiaswing8545 he definitely doesn't get enough credit. His rhythm guitar work was also excellent in those early albums, before he lost interest in the guitar.
WoW The Stones on the Mike Douglas show. Great segment, and as I remember the show was out of Philly and live in the afternoon. You mentioned Letterman, Leno + Conan,believe me Mike D. was pure vanilla but he'd get Movie Stars to appear but usually regional people and TV performers. Mick and the boys looked and sounded good he and I was really impressed w Brian Jones blowing a mean harmonica. The Dead played "Not Fade Away" a lot when I saw them in the 70s always medleyed w "Going Down the Road Feelin' Bad " ( a song we sang numerous times as a sextet on our 5 hr. trip to Watkins Glen). I was 10 when this show aired and have no recollection. Excellent selection and reaction.
You're not really a Stones fan because Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out (1970) (one of the greatest live albums), Sticky Fingers (1972), and Exile on Main St. (1972) are some of their greatest work. Also, their peak touring period was 1969-73.
@@fuchsiaswing8545You beat me to it. Had to go to Spotify to check and then got lost listening to Get Yer YaYa’s Out. And Sticky Fingers is iconic Stones.
Their first album was groundbreaking. The original British cover had no writing on it at all, not even the label logo. Just a great picture of the boys looking mean, moody and magnificent. Someone said of them: "The Beatles want to hold your hand; the Stones want to burn down your city" The contents were great too - RnB, soul and blues, pepped up like nothing anyone had heard before. I'd recommend Route 66, Walking the Dog or Mona. By the way, don't forget Carry Me, original album version, Crosby and Nash. You won't regret it.
AM radio wanted short songs so they could play more songs per hour. Buddy's version is really rinky-dink. Keith put it to the Bo Diddley beat. I saw this as it aired. The girl with the hat looked just like my girlfriend, the girl next door. In England all the hosts knew Brian was the leader but in the States the singer was always considered the leader. You can see Brian squeezing in between Mike & Mick. A sign of things to come.
Mike Douglas was cool. Even tho he was an older guy he had rock bands on his show. He would have cohost for a week. For instance he had John Lennon and Yoko as cohost. Mike was a singer also. He usually would open the show with a song.
The host was Mike Douglas. he got his start as a Big Band singer in the 1940s. He also was the singing voice of Prince Charming in Disney's Cinderella. His talk show aired in the late afternoon. Mom usually was watching while preparing dinner and waiting for the kids to come home from school. The show's format would have a guest co-host on for the week. One I remember was John and Yoko in 1072. It was bizarre! Chuck Berry was a musical guest. His wtf face while Yoko sang was priceless. there are videos on you tube ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bz_SPin9Iqg.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jelY_icJ1y8.html
Tho I've ALWAYS been a Beatles fan, I did HEAR rollingstones songs on the radio. Some of their songs did REACH me! TIME IS ON MY SIDE is still my favorite by them, which I believe takes us back to '64! PLAY WITH FIRE also makes me quite sentimental! Their ballads were usually very soulful, musically touching and very insightful! BABY YOU'RE OUT OF TIME IS like my 2nd fave of theirs...these songs made me feel like I was cheating on the Beatles, Iliked them so much! Lol
Brian Jones was a major contributor to the group. The Stones were in their best form with Brian. Sad to say Brian is in the 27 club. 💔 I love your reaction to the early years of music. Yes I’m that old that I grew up listening to all these incredible artists of music 🎶
I don't think the Stones were in their best form with Brian. They were in their best form with producer Jimmy Miller (1968-73), which was the tail end of the Brian era (when he was at his most futile) and just before Mick Taylor quit. I'd argue they started peaking in 1966 (even if they veered off course a bit in ‘67 with more psychedelic experimentation and Baroque Pop, but the addition of session man Nicky Hopkins marked a significant change of texture and depth in their songs. He was almost like a defacto member from 1967 to 1974.
I think you would find the Dick cavett interviews with Janice Chaplin very interesting. I think Dick Kevin and Janice Chaplin had a romantic connection. It's pretty interesting to hear her speak and her thinking processes. It really was amazing. Watching Janice joplin and also whenever I see Jimmy Page on the guitar there are 2 people that you can tell really love and feel the music that they are performing. Back it out
BRIAN Jones was dismissed in early June 1969 and would be dead less than a month later in early July. While his death was tragic, it was not an overdose. His excesses certainly exacerbated his physical/mental decline in the late 1960s, but he died under mysterious circumstances, and sadly, we will never know the whole story.
That's pretty laughable considering if the Stones had disbanded before 1969, they'd still go down as one of the all-time great bands. Granted, Taylor elevated the group significantly as a live act, but it's not really fair to judge them based on a performance in 1964.
for a little contrast - here is the Grateful Dead playing Not Fade Away on the 4th of July 1989 - enjoy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-REGkS4iAq6Y.htmlsi=6-O51aaK__ANSCXa
Pretty much straight Buddy Holly cover. It evolved into a more groovy Dead version. Like this version and drum intro... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tYf9nR9Z1eM.htmlsi=kNMpkfq-NChbguSx
One of Buddy Holly's better songs, covered by the early Stones. Given your dip into Jerry Lee, you'd do yourself a big favor by hitting Buddy as well. Sixty five years after his death the songs are still great.
@@jayhpaq nope, exactly the right band. I did enjoy this video, though. Not that I think it was a bad performance, just that Grateful Dead did it so much better. I also enjoyed the trip into the past that was the pre-song interview.
