Yep and Keith was a full blown junkie in those days. Kudos to him to get out there and get the job done night after night. Most people in that condition were satisfied just to make it out of bed.
@@brettholtslander2704xcept for Keith! With the Stones, lead guitar is almost a moot point. Best rhythm section in the history of the genre regardless of 2nd guitarist. But Brian the best complement to Keef.
Right the 60's and 70's but alot of it came from the blues as far back as the teens, 20's...😮 and so forth rock n roll was born.😊. Thanks Robert Johnson.
We'll probably never again see a rock and roll band as good as these guys were from 1965-1975.Thank God for the internet,because the proof is there for everyone to see.
Dude I totally agree with a lot of what you said.....But I’d have to move that from 65/75 to 68 thru 1978 though! Because those first years were all about covers and no sound equipment through the P.A. Systems. They couldn’t even hear themselves performing. Nothing really done through their own fault though.
The Stones ‘72 tour was the epitome of Rock & Roll; the music, the performances, the lifestyle…I first saw this film during it’s limited theatre run in the early 1970s; as a teenage guitarist with a Telecaster, this is exactly where I wanted to be; it doesn’t get much better than this
I saw them in ‘72 at the Rubber Bowl in Akron, OH. Awesome show, but they were at the top of their game. Plus it was a great day for a concert, hot & sunny. I saw them agin in ‘75 & ‘78, but it just wasn’t quite the same as the ‘72 show. Seems so long ago.
@@christopheremerson2892stones 72 tour was really the template for what came after it, they warmed up the industry in the 69 tour regarding taking it up a level with the arena shows etc and also back up with albums that although fantastic at the time are now legendary, 72 rock n roll band with plane for touring, iconic logo on its body distinctly shown, it all moved forward after them
Same here seen it at the Cambden Rainbow Theatre London 1977 with my wife before we got married. All the comments are correct '72/73 were the peak live. My biggest regret is missing the 1973 Wembley Empire Pool London gig with Mick Taylor on board😌🎸🔥💎👌☘️🇮🇪
The musical interaction between Keith Richards and Mick Taylor here is something to behold. Never seen anything like it in rock and roll and I suspect I never will.
Aaah, the Stones at the peak of their decadent, musical greatness. Crankin out one great album after another, and taking us all for the ride. Only wish they could do it all over again.
BBN I love Keith the Stones today would not sound like the Stones with out he and Ronnie's weaving guitar sound or his 5 string open G stuff. Keith is also a great song writer. But that being said Brian Jones better than Keith Ronnie Wood better than Keith and Mick the guitar God Taylor better guitarist than damn near anyone but surely the best guitarist the Stones have ever had. He truly is a virtuoso.
Say what you want. Stones during this era put rock to bed. Live, dirty, get down, bad boys of rock and didn't give a shit. They brought the past to the present then and brought all that to the future. The best rockers of all time. Louie the Vet. Vietnam and Gulf War.
Attending concerts like this are the greatest times of your life!! Completely life altering with memories that last a lifetime and can’t be topped! I remember their Steel Wheels tour with Living Color as an opening act…..we were seated in the very back and my friend looks through her binoculars and then at me and exclaimed surprisingly, “they’re black”! Priceless!!
My mom took me and a friend to see this when I was 12 because I begged indefinitely. She and my friend who was 11 were in shock. I thought the Stones were the greatest thing. Still a stones fan to this day. Have seen them numerous times in the front row.
This movie toured like a live concert when it was released. Concert speakers were brought into local theaters. Midnight Rambler was crazy with Mick on his knees, smacking the stage with his belt. Mick Taylor was godlike on his solo for Can't you Hear Me Knockin'. I thought this film was lost, it is definitely worth rereleasing.
Mystercy, not always. They premiered it in London's Raimbow theater by the time they released Love You Live and the speakers were dreadful. A real put down at the time..
I'm sorry, I don't know which Era was BEST, Brian did some Incredible stuff, Mick Taylor did some Incredible stuff, and Woodie has done some Incredible stuff, they ALL did INCREDIBLE shit , so I have a hard time saying that an Era was BEST, all I gotta say ¡😎¡
On Bitch MT plays tame rythm riffs and Keiths fluid, guitar is what we hear. And lots of stuff that people credits to MT. It's actually Keith. He had/have a much wider range than lots of people get.
Saw them in 1966 in San Francisco. My best memory is that the venue (the Cow Palace) was not sold out. Although there was assigned seating, we were free to walk up next to the stage and even sit on the edge of it. We all behaved ourselves, so no trouble with security. I actually sat on the edge of the stage while Mick Jagger was seated not 5 ft from me, singing 'Lady Jane'. One of the benefits of now being an old man... :-)
This is from the Houston 6/25/1972 9 pm show. I saw them earlier the same day at the 4 pm show. It was my first concert. I was 17. 6 songs in the film are from the Fort Worth shows from the day before and 9 from the Houston shows. 5 are from the show I attended (Mick Taylor wearing the Stones' tongue logo on his shirt). Besides days relating to my immediate family, this was the greatest day of my life. I haven't been the same since.
Says who? Never heard him described that way by his peers. Always heard the usual he was the better guitarist in the band b..s. but never a guitar GOD. Because guitar GODS that leave a band will go on being a Guitar GOD. After the STONES where exactly was that GOD working? Solo and how good was that shit? [Insert the Jeopardy theme song here]
Brian Jones was in his own way as brilliant as he was troubled - but with Mick Taylor - the Stones finally had a very gifted, fluent, melodic guitarist - up there with the best of any of them - Eric Clapton - Duane Allman - Peter Green - Jeff Beck etc .. -- and Taylor added just as much musicianship credibility to the Stones as any of the others brought to the various groups they were in.
I've seen 4 Times the Stones in concert. Musically the best was in Milan 1970 with Mick Taylor. The best for the situation was Rio de Janeiro 2006 one of the best emotion in my Life.
Likely the height of the Stones greatness. I wonder how much Ron Wood gets sick and tired of hearing that. But let’s face in, Taylor took the Stones to another level. Indeed, it was a level so high they might have crashed and burn had Taylor stayed. And Bobby’s horns never sounded so good.
I think they come in waves, especially a live peak. 1969-1973 was unbelievable for them in terms of creativity. Literally re-inventing rock and what it could do. But look at their live stuff around 1978 (the Fort Worth live DVD)...it's rampant. Then the early 80's was extremely rough, almost garage, they were creating a leaner style. I saw them last week in Manchester and Ronnie's lead breaks were taking my face off. Perhaps he's not to the technical level of Mick Taylor but it's expressive and powerful.
MT's virtuoso guitar work is impeccable, It is hard to gauge Keef's deal but in his book he said that MT was too morose and never laughed, but also his old lady was always putting shit in his head like telling him he was constantly getting screwed by not getting his due in the songwriting credits, plus the stones were falling apart in 73 and 74 mostly due to Keef's heroin addiction, MT and Mick Jagger pretty much did Stickyfingers perhaps their best studio album as far as I'm concerned without him, like for example on Moonlight Mile Keith had the opening riff on cassette labeled Japanese thing, the Micks took that and wrote Moonlight mile MT got no credit after being assured my Jagger he would, then F'n Jack Bruce was trying to poach him for an "all-star" band that never happened. Keef wanted to play lead again too he claimed but Taylor never tried to wrestle that from him, he gave it away. Keef said in the Ronnie was better for the cohesiveness of the band due to MT always brooding, I think it was his bitch that got him out of that band, they did stay on good terms and it was good to see MT with the guys their last tour, I hear they are touring again!
Like in the time of Ancient Greece with Achilles, Hector Helen of Troy, we who were around in the 1960's-70's, we got to live with the Stones, Beatles, Hendrix, Cream and the Doors. 🆗☮️❤️
The Stones on the summit: 1968-1969-1970-1971-1972-1973-1974-1975 the best golden age of The Rolling Stones from the film Ladies & gentlemen The Rolling Stones tour Exile on main St. of 1972 is awesome.
This display of sheer musical force was what it took in the days before video and social media to move albums. The stones could deliver the goods, in spades.
I have been a stones fancier since 1963! They are fantastic even to this day. This is nothing more but a fact! The Rolling Stones are the longest playing rock ‘n’ roll group in history. I had the opportunity a couple years ago by my son Levon to leave Alaska and go to desert Palms for their concert. There were other folks from up this way that I sensed, because we are different in a good way. I miss Brian and Nick Taylor with the group is strong and shall continue!👍🏼👌🏽😘
Ok just cut the crab, Keith Richards is the real for real most important musical member of TRS' Family. Musicly he's the true leadership on stage. And he's the most important song writer on the Jagger-Richards CR issue. And honestly he made The Rolling Stones The Greatest Rock N' Roll Band Of All Time. And his legacy will live on for ever, on top of the other Stones members. Lol🎹🎸😎
really now , dont you think thats laying it on a little thick . I didnt know anyone was a bigger Keef fan than me , but I ddo salute you sir . at point I can only pick up my Keith Richard clone Tele and Play along with a cd . hav a good day sir . and thank you for keeping the flame lit for Mr. Richard .
If it weren't for Mick Taylor, the Stones would have sounded a lot different during this phase. (After Brian.) MT insisted they get their act together. Brian was a genius, but in no why had the chops that Taylor had and still does. Imagine Sticky Fingers and Exile w/out him.
Lothar Roberts the Golden Age of Rolling Stones music to me there .but then Ronnie does have a way of making the band blend with a crisp fresh appeal . I could and do listen to the MT records for therapy .it was just a special something .thanks
Yes, Mick was the best guitarman that they`ve had, he gave them that heavy and special guitar sound. Sì, Mick fue el mejor guitarrista que han tenido, èl les dio ese especial sonido pesado de guitarra.
Brian jones gave the stones uniqueness and depth Mick taylor. Turned the stones into pure fire the energy he brought to the band took their live shows into the best damn live rock bands for that period of the stones career
@@terrybono5995jajaja es el guitarrista,de la mejor banda de rock de la historia y vos decis srmejabte tonteria, y vos donde tocaste, quien te conoce, sos un don nadie criticando al talentoso rond wod, por diossssssssss, las cosas que hay que leer
The best thing that ever happened to the Rolling Stones was finding Mick Taylor .... The worst thing that ever happened to the Rolling Stones was losing Mick Taylor . Just listen. IORR.
Mick Taylor gave them the depth they needed ,just listen to this with Ronnie ,their is no comparison, i cant here ronnie play in his performances with the stones.
It's true. Greatest front-man and just an incredible band with all the energy, sound and great tunes. I was only 11 in '72. I did see them later as an adult in '81 and they still kicked in the energy and great performance. I can't deal with the music of today...awful!
WE had just finished 8th great and I went downtown into Chicago w/the legendary George Sonoda. He was one of the biggest Stones fans at the time. Got his mom to take him to see them in 67 I think when he was 9. It was rare to see any concert footage then. It was an afternoon matinee and the place was filled w/reefer smoke soon after the lights dropped. It captured them at one of the best times song wise and musicianship wise I think. Great memory. Years and years before anyone could see it again. The Zebra rolling paper, sitting on the rocks at Lake Michigan and then the show. INsane fun. Great memory.
One of the greatest bands ever at their creative and performing peak-you don’t see that every day!! Edit: And no f**king autotune lip-syncing bullshit!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I remember one of my older cousins actually sneaking out for a few hours and coming back during her sister's wedding reception to see the Stones during this tour!! My uncle was not happy, so it was done quietly. Wow - wish it would have been me
This tour stopped by RFK stadium July 4th 1972. 15 years old. Hot humid in DC that night with Martha Reeves and the Vandelles opening and followed by Ray Charles.
eight inches you must admit that Lisa Fisher really did a great job with Gimmie Shelter, you can tell by Kieths smile in those videos, while watching her that he really appreciated her vocals.👍🍺
The greatest time for rock music. I consider myself so lucky. So so many bands. What a wonderful time to grow up. I'm 62 and I remember at 13 was my first show Mott the Hoople the back up band was Queen. Memories are so great. We used to hang around and bet who would have the better album that week or month. I'm sure a lot of you smell the summer air and a memory hits you. A first love. You with your friends parting some place or just a nice tought. A day in a life.
Saw them this tour. Mobile AL while my ship was in dry dock at the shipyard. Killer show...My second favorite concert I attended right behind my favorite, The Who in 1970 a year after Woodstock
UnFREAKIN REAL,ALWAYS WAS N ALWAYS WILL B THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND N THE WORLD!!SEEN 5-7 times,70's kinda blurry but still.THE BEST...ALWAYS,,STICK... OH YEAH,THANK U KINDLY,N STILL GREAT N STRONG
Oh man the rolling stones during this time they were something amazing ,i just love the heavy grunde blues rock drive of the stones ,that's the main reason thers a separation between them and everybody else.
Back when they were a band with Mick just a member, before Mick thought it was Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones. I love you all, but must speak truth.
Couldn't agree more. I recently wrote a little essay about them using the same words: somewhere along the line it became Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones...
@@JoaoPedro-eh4wr It might be on a site called SpliceToday that an old editor friend of mine runs. It had to do with the extraordinary ticket prices on this last tour, as well as how camera operators concentrate on MPJ...
We all love Brian and Ron, but there's no denying the dynamic of Taylor anchoring down with Wyman which allowed the music to breathe and provided The Stones with their best material.
During this time I was in H.S. The Stones WERE Rock n' Roll. Period! I saw them in Memphis 7/4/75. Good show but I'd trade it in to have seen'em in 72. You Can't Always Get What You Want.
the first three minutes before the Stones come on - with roadies moaning ha ha - are amazing in building to the climax of stage entry and 'pow' of course this band delivers
I get sick and tired of hearing about Taylor .....he left the band get over it......the Stones were hot tight and steaming like a locomotion at this time with or without Taylor, they were at their peak .
Not true at all! The Stones absolutely SUCKED when Taylor left. Their music sucked, and especially their guitar playing with Ron Wood. He couldn't tune Mick Taylor's axe!!!
The Rolling Stones have been a great success due to the fact that the Rolling Stones chose three attributes to make the most of their talent : I truly sorry for the folks who aren't satisfied, Brian Jones was a mystical man, he made some of the most amazing things and he was a true musician, too bad he didn't know how to make it work, Mick Taylor was a phenomenal guitarest, but only a guitarest, he played some of the most amazing leads, but he left, his choice, I hated that, but, it's the Stones, then they brought in Ronnie Wood, and he's laid down some of the top tracks, he makes point during the live shows, he's a great player and deserves our respect, each era has a different story about the Rolling Stones, diffinitly different music and better and better music, they've all three carried on, live long and carry on boys !😎!
@ freak....although Taylor enjoyed his years with the Stones (for the most part) I believe he felt he wasn't the right fit for that band. Personally I think the Stones were a better band with him in it than with Ronnie, Taylor is the superior guitarist for sure, and don't get me wrong, we all love Ronnie, but Taylor just didn't fit the image of being a Stone, if you know what I mean. Ronnie did and still does. There were other factors in Taylor leaving the band but there is also stories that Keith felt a little threatened, maybe even intimidated by his talent. It's Keith's band.
@ freak....ah, so the debate begins. lol! There's no doubt to any seasoned Stone fan that Charlie (if I ever met him I'd call him Mr. Watts) is the moist respected member of the band. Always has been. He's part of one of the best rhythm sections in rock music, he's non controversial, nobody knows a whole lot about him, he's kept the beat and he has shut the fuck up for the last 50 plus years and I love him for that. But it's Keith's band. And Mr. Watts contributes a HELL of a lot to it.
+eight inches it's been a long time debate about the ole guitar player and the drummer, which is FINE, I still love ya for lovin the Rolling Stones !😎!
