Part 3 of 3 Review of Rolling Stones Goats Head Soup 2020 Deluxe Remix & Brussels Affair Live 1973 

Hello or Hei from the Norwegian mountains…. We have long long winters up here, ideal for catching up on all the times in my teens and twenties when medical studies and competitive swimming interfered with my musical curiosity. However, my first wife was/is a knockout Stones fan, we ended up on the 12 th row at my first Stones concert in a 3000 capacity theatre in Glasgow Scotland. Never forget the opening number Honky Tonk, the whole auditorium were on their feet, took 30 mins to reseat them with Faraway eyes. Managed since then to see the Stones live in both London, Bergen and Oslo… Blown away each time….. I am now 71 and even more of a fan, music is life and healing, I feel the Stones are a growing part of me in my retirement years, in my secret life! I have a beautiful strong Norwegian redhead wife, we God willing will celebrate 40 years of marriage midsummer, we have sheep on our restored mountain farm. Now my wife has been talking about Goats…. Coincidence? Maybe next year, Goats Head Soup! Love your phenomenal engagement, do not stop! All best Alex, Scottish Viking, in Norway.

Love your painstaking analysis and insights - I have felt this same passion for the Stones even since I discovered their music as a awkward teenager: The Stones spoke to me like no other band then and still do to this day....Please continue to dive into their catalog and deliver these in depth breakdowns, because people need to know as much about the greatest rock and roll band that ever was as there is to know :)

I love The Rolling Stones since i was 11 or 12 (1977) almost like a second religion! Thanks to post the documentary about GHS! God bless all Stoners in the world! - Pardon my poor words, I'm from Brasil.

I have followed the Stones my whole life... every single album they released changed the very air i breathed...

in my top 5 of Stones albums, Mick Taylor plays beautifully and the boys are at the top of their game i think. Great job breaking it down as usual, really enjoy your work. Stones are the best.

Great review Steve. It’s always a joy to be here and hang out with the best Stones channel in the world. I love the fact that the Stones have primarily given us the second Brussels show rather than reissue the famous first gig we all have in our collections.

Brilliant again enjoyed so much .i can see you have put a great deal of time into this . I agree goats head is a fantastic album punch for punch up there with exile and sticky fingers .what’s next?

I REALLY appreciate the time and effort you must put into these docs. thank you for such a captivating and informative series of superb films. Brilliant!

These documentaries are great, thanks so much for them. I’ve been a relaxed Stones fan like so many are , starting with Exile and ending there for awhile, some of your videos have re-energized my interest and I’m LOVING the Stones more than ever!

Hi Steve. Just to say many thanks for all your hard work in putting the Goats Head Soup trilogy together. Fascinated by your in depth knowledge of the band at this momentous time in their existence. I concur with a lot of your vision. 1976 was the start of my love affair at Knebworth Estate in England when I was amongst circa 200,000 to live the dream. I’ve been enraptured ever since. Take it easy and keep em coming. ✊

I've seen all your Rolling Stones videos at least 3 times. Going on 4 now. Thank You so much for all your hard work. It's greatly appreciated!!!

Steve, great finish to an album that I know but not intimately. Your patience and love for this album to keep switching albums back and forth is amazing. I think I need more patience. I really thought long and hard about this box set but struggled with how much the extras would mean to me. Love the descriptions and will have to keep it in mind when goose bumps happen. Incredible series that is all about passion for the music. Well done. I think I can speak for the VC that we anxiously await your next deep dive documentary. Enjoy your week. Steve

I find myself wanting to add in comment but the most astute fans have joyfully already said it. Steve, thank you so much as you bloodlet yourself prospecting an area of your soul that I don’t think you knew was there. I haven’t been playing all my life because of the Stones, but why not. Saw them at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City when I was 13. Our group of intellectual street ruffian,musicians and non,addicts and non,saw the boys whenever they hit Philly. Saw them in 72, 74 , 78, 80, and 94 (Voodo) then Bridges. Steve, your right up there with the best. Always find myself looking for your next stuff. By the way, got sober in 92, gotta tell ya ,they sound better now and I do also. Thanks again , you do Brussels more than justice. You said it all when you said “I just did it for the Rock and Roll . “ Peace, Rocky

You got my un-divided attention and shot it out into space.I had no idea of the high quality bootleg live material available so NOW,thanks to you,I feel a Rolling Stones Christmas coming down the pike-and you know it don't get no better.thanks again brother-and merry Christmas to you and yours..God bless

Thank you so much for all of your Stones videos. In particular, I enjoyed your commentary because your passion and appreciation for the band, which came through loud and clear, wound me up also!

I remember when the Rolling Stones were NEW to the US! By the time I was buying albums - Sticky Fingers was new. I saw Gimme Shelter on TV back then. The rest is history as we say! Thanks man.

I LOVE MUZIK TOO 😁💖🎶 I DON'T JUST LISTEN TO THE MUZIK, I FEEL THE MUZIK. INTENSE & MAGIKAL

Thanks! Enjoy listening. Interesting. Rock-n-Roll! Rolling Stones!

You are amazing man! I have been binging your docus for two days straight. Love all the effort and care for each details.

Love this Part 3 of 3 Goats Head Soup, such enthusiasm such detail, such passion, would have made a great bonus Blu ray disc to the Box set, my ultimate desert island escape , Thank you FlipSideCT❤️💯🔥🌍☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

It's such a shame that the 'RU-vid' police are always there to block anything that gets too close to being really good. I've watched this about six times, along with the others and they're still 'really good'. Thanks for your work. We appreciate it. Really !!

Dear FlipsideCt, excellent job on all of these Stones videos. You have presented the most detailed, informative and enjoyable content on the stones that I have ever seen. I agree with much of your critique of the albums and songs. Im in Ct too, stop in for a beer and we'll rip that joint together...

THANK YOU so very much for all the work that goes into your videos. I understand the time involvement, the research involved for each segment. I've learned so much from all your knowledge going into these videos, & look forward to the new ones. I watch them over again find more each time. So thankful for your efforts. Now I must buy this live record!! Thanks Meg

Brussels Affair has without a doubt, the best, the most FANTASTIC version of Midnight Rambler of all time. That jam in the middle peaks 3 times! Stones at their absolute peak, firing on all cylinders, melting your goddamn face off. Charlie turns the beat on a dime for the final verse. Incredible. It’s unreal they did two sets that day.

Incredible amount of work and so detailed Steve...many congratulations sir! As i write the album has re-entered the U.K. charts at no.1 some 47 years after the 1st time. For me you have even surpassed the other wonderful videos you've created....well done. P.S love your overwhelming enthusiasm... very infectious.

I first heard the Brussels affairs in 1973-4 time. What a kick-A-s concert. Thank you.

I love Ya Ya’s but I completely agree Brussels is THE BEST live 100% agreed. I had a super quality bootleg vinyl and listened to it constantly, transferred to cassette etc. Grabbed the digital download ASAP and then the box. My humble, they are at their absolute peak live, it’s the best!!!! Thank you once again !

I'm a Stones head like your good sel, and I'm convinced that your enthusiasm and passion for the 'subject matter' would 'Sway' (😁) any young kid who hasn't really heard the fellas, to go and check them out! Cheers

I bought this set strictly for the Brussels Affair. I first heard this as a radio broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour radio show in '74. It was rerun several times through '76. The Stones gave it to the radio when they realized a live album wasn't in the cards. That was one of the sources for the bootlegs, and why those early bootlegs had such good sound.

goats head is fantastic. its got flow, its got feeling ( winter), its got great guitars. made me like them even more at the time.

Goat's Head Soup came out when I was in my 1st yr of high school. I remember looking at the album cover and thinking WTF? Totally loved it from the beginning. Fucking great album.

funny thing...I only enjoy what version I had as a kid( mostly cassette tapes)

Thank you for doing these!

I just came to this from your excellent Let it Bleed series. This was very interesting. I know this takes a LOT of effort and time, but as you can see from comments, lots of Stones fans out here appreciate it. I hope you can do this for more of their albums. I think I heard here you alluded to doing one for IORAR....I'm about to look for that. Thank you!! CC

The Mick Taylor years were the greatest period for the Stones without doubt 👍👍👍and what a great review, thank you.👍👍👍

I dig all three parts of your review and like me I can see how passionately obsessed with the band you are. I just want to say, as great as “The Brussels Affair” is and by God it’s great, I’m a Hammond organ/ piano player and if you listen close, it’s Billy Preston that really holds the entire affair together. The whole band is top shelf on this but Billy, for Christ’s sake, he was the glue In a way for that time. Great job Man.

Great live era for sure. So natural. I love seeing the feirce youthful footage from this time. In regards to Criss Cross...it's a fantastic song. I do prefer the original bootleg version that has that longer buildup riff and doesn't have the toe to toe, etc lyrics. What I do really love about this official version is how much louder Keith's open G guitar is in the right channel - simple, fantastic, and very All down the line/ Brown Sugar stuff. I had to stop listening to the boot version to get acclimated to this one, which I have over the years now. Not sure why they would cut out that longer intro and chose this take over over that one. Thanks for clearing up that main guitar is being played by Jagger. The new vocal work on All the Rage definitely feels out of place for me to this very fun and familiar style song (elements of Honky Tonk Women and Good Time Women) . I like how the main riff by Keith is a bit of a prelude to what he would later do on Little T & A. Scarlet is good and the perfect example of what keith and Mick are and how they blance each other. Keith's riffs and vocals are so ragged and Mick brings a smoother structure, which works well enough here.

just a quick shout out as i get to this 3rd clip, the reiew, which is what i planned to wtach but enjoyed the first two doc style clips you made that i watched em first.... so thats a rec and a response and a thanks!

I’ve always thought the same thing, 68 to 81 were the peak

The Super Deluxe version is worth the price alone for the inclusion of The Brussels Affair live concert. One only has to listen to Taylor's playing on the Stones greatest live album - yes even better than the sublime Ya Ya's - The Brussels Affair. The Rolling Stones Midnight Rambler Live - Forest National (Brussels, Belgium) Oct 17, 1973. - The sublime instrumental twin guitar break two minutes into Midnight Rambler, is one of the greatest in rock 'n' roll history. Complimented by Keith Richards monstrous, burn your house down rhythm guitar slashes, Mick Taylor enters serious neo-psychedelic blues - third eye - guitar territory. On this majestic, Brechtian - think 'The Ballad of Mack the Knife' from The Threepenny Opera - meets urban voodoo of a song, Taylor proves he was one of the greatest most inspired guitar players of the 60's/70's. For five short years the Stones, with Taylor proved that they truly were the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.

Thanks 👍

Greatest teachser I ever had said life will always send you back to school,I've been able to fill in the gaps with your artistic history.My family is proud I'm finally getting my degree in anthropology.Great stuff.

I was at one of the King’s hall gigs. I was 13. Fantastic✨💫

Loved this 3pt documentary!...Thanks so much for sharing, Flip' !

Great review your passion is contagious long live the stones, the greatest rock n roll band in the universe ! !

Another FANTASTIC documentary! Thank you! And yes, you are right.......1968 to 1978 were by far their best years!

KILLLLLEEERR! What a great 3 Part package Steve. You brought together and painted a picture. Loved your randomness and reasons why this album is excellent, and especially Brussels Affair. Your selling of that album was so well done and on the money, and was "GBG". wow, very cool!

Cheers… I find the world has become colder without Charlie. Been keeping the stones on the turntable all the time. I miss the 70’s and even the 80’s so much. Times are changing and I can’t believe how lucky I am to have been there for all this incredible music. The Rolling Stones if you really sit and listen to this band you can’t help to realize that these guys are definitely the greatest band of all time. God Bless these guys and thanks for all the good times you gave me.

Been obsessed with GHS for 47 yrs.

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a better moment of live music than this version of “Midnight Rambler”. Mick’s call and response with the crowd is amazing. And kudos to the crowd for understanding the moment and barking back at Mick. Taylor’s lead at the 5:51 mark has such a wonderful live music vibe. Like all the prior shows have led us to this moment and we are here with you for the first time. Love what you’ve done with these videos. Congrats!

Love your Rolling Stones documentaries Steve 😁🎶👊🏽👑🕺🎵🥁🎹 I know I told you like a hundred times, but I love music and The Rolling Stones like you do. I like how you edit the documentaries and how you capture the decade and the time period vand bring it to life along with your enthusiastic narration. I watchum over and over. And GREAT NEWS from my end, Steve. I FINALLY have a lawyer taking care of my Sony Music business. After I straighten that out, I plan on being a contributor to your work.🎵🎶🥁🎹 Thanks again for the AWESOME ROLLING STONES documentaries and I look forward to watching your newest latest. I'll send you some of my hot new original muzik after I produce my brand new 🔥🔥🆕 original songs. You'll be one of the first to hear!

The Stones always remind me of England, which I was forced to leave with the family when I was 12 - to go to Sweden where my mother was from. So right there we have something in common since most of their Women seem to be from there - but I hated Sweden and left for NZ in 1983. Hence I am a big fan and like virtually everything they ever did; also I met them when I was about 6-7 in Bournemouth in 64 or 5. I am not making it up and I will tell the story if you want; I insulted them as they were known as the "bad boys" whereas The Beatles (whom I also met briefly) were "good".. I love your videos and you have me enthusiastic all over again and pining for my young days in good old blighty... so big thanks for that. Ive got a powerfull amp setup and no neighbours for miles so when you tell me to play it LOUD they can hear The Stones in Australia... I hope the cnuts are grateful! Much Aroha from Aotearoa

Love your all or nothing attitude!!! Such passion, that's what it's all about!thanks for doing these videos, they mean so much to me!!!!

Thanks Steve. You rule.

I got Brussels as a download a few years ago. I agree----probably the greatest live Stones document. It has the rawness of Ya Yas but with better integrated Taylor, horns and keybs and so much great early 70's repertoire. Mick actually sounds committed to his vocal performances (let's face it, it wasn't always so in the ensuing decade) and is fully present for Happy (not that I begrudge older Mick for taking a break). Can't Always Get What You Want takes off into the stratosphere, Rambler is epic, and Street Fighting Man gets downright psychedelic. The greatest.

Thank you a lot for your well documented and passionate review of GHS album and of the MASTERPIECE Brussels Affair ! I will listen to it again asap, but not tonight, otherwise I cannot sleep : too much energy

Fantastic álbum!

Goats Head is their greatest album. Its the Stones at the peak of their craft. The r n r swagger mixed with pure raw funk and grit but also the musucianship craft of Mick Taylor totally at its most awe inspiring. The solo on Winter is my fav if all time. After this there were always moments of greatness but the band were never this consistantly great and dynamic again.

That was excellent I watched all three parts. True enthusiast stuff here. Thanks for your efforts. I will now watch all of your video productions of the Stones, addictive stuff. 10/10.

Goat Heads Soup...How great a ear you have sir! A absolute lost art for us common folk that just dig the music and meanings of every song. 90 percent of people say they love a song and no clue of what it all about...The Meaning in the minds of those dudes in the studio at the time. When albums were about where the groups mindset were at that time. I love Zep and Page, many great songs of his, all about where they were at the times in there lives! Very hard to find people like you, that can have such a in depth, educated conversation about just a lick at a part in a song! I hope you do a few of Zep, especially Page, as he is one tough nut to crack...kept so much under wraps unlike Keith did. Great work. I would think you would of had to been a rock beat writer? Kevin.

Great geek out. Said a lot of things here about how I feel about the Stones. Really hope you make some more videos on other Stones albums.

Great job brother!

Best docu I've seen!!!

I really enjoyed your doc.

Thanks mate. I only just bumped into your vids on RU-vid. They’re truly great thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed your stones reviews etc. I’ve seen Let it Bleed and now GHSoup. I saw the Stones in 75 at Knebworth. I knew every chord of sticky fingers by 1974. I’m gonna watch a lot more of your channel geez from now on. Thanks again! Regards, Dave ✌️

Thanks for the work you put in, listened to 1, 2, 3 straight through great stuff. GHS came out my freshman year of college and have always loved it. Look forward to your future projects.

I have watch all your videos. I love them. Amazing work by you

Great finish! I really enjoyed all your hard work. I like the new mix of GHS, because my biggest complaint of the record was that it seemed like I was listening to it through the gauze the Stones have on their heads on the cover, and it still has the right sound, but I think it's easier to listen to now. My biggest complaint about the box is the price. My local store sold it to me for 120, no shipping and tax was included in the price. So the double GHS is like 35 bucks, so figure Brussels should be the same. It cost fifty bucks for a cardboard box! But this is the first time they've made Brussels even remotely available to a normal person on vinyl, and like you, I think that record is as good as it gets. I think it's great that they fix up the outtakes and finish them, because I used to sit around and listen to unfinished tracks all the time, but I just don't seem as interested anymore. I haven't felt like listening to So Divine in the bootleg form in ages, but I like the Exile extra disk, it's just too bad it wasn't on vinyl. Now I'm geeking out and rambling, but I just wanted to take a minute to say, "Nice job!"

Thank you for these awesome videos! A friend of mine sent me the “Let it Bleed” doc and I decided to watch this “Goats Head Soup” series after. I learned so much and as a music journalist, it’s super inspiring and fun to watch stuff like this 😃

I appreciate the work you’ve done on these. 👍 It takes me back to being young in college.Art is a reflection of its time Pre 1975 was the peak of Americas culture economy, everything The stones to me at this time was their peak.. Everything went down after Jimmy Carters election in 1974 gas lines, recession Hostages in Iran 🤬

I am with you Steve. The years 1969 to 1974 are my go-to Stones years too. Or simply put in Stones fan album lingo: Let it Bleed to Its Only Rock & Roll and everything in between. You got me insanely curious about the Four Alternate Takes. I got to hear them. Thanks for the heads up on a few of the tracks 'Crisscross Man' and 'All That Rage'. I want to hear them but I am not expecting anything Exile worthy earth shattering. I think I may have heard Scarlet. I do remember Through The Lonely Nights and Jimmy playing on it. The Brussels Affair review was one of your best. I could hear between the words that GBG factor was at full peak. I never sat and listened to one of the 1973 Tour shows. This is the kick that I needed to do so. An outstanding forty nine minutes and nine seconds Steve. It flew by. The perfect way to end my week off from work on this Sunday evening. The three part GHS Review was every bit as good as I expected it would be and some. The series encouraged me to revisit some of my Stones albums. You truly have a gift of music review. Ten out of ten ★'s~ Thanks for sharing all three~ Rob/Boston

Hi Steve, Another great Doc.! You really show your love, and respect for the music. I can only imagine how hard you worked on this,and it shows, it always shows ! I love The Stones,and I love "Goats Head Soup"..but, I couldn't justify the price. I did order the CD set and enjoyed it. I own the original album and it's my second favorite Stones album.I think I enjoy your review even more though ! I always look forward to whatever you decide to share with us,and I always learn something new. Have a great week,get some rest,and then come back to us with something you love, and we need to love back ! The best to you always, cindy

You do a wonderful job on ALL your scholarship of the Stones.

Thank you so much for this labor of love project! I think knowing the back story behind this album will give me an even greater appreciation of it. I love knowing alot of the back stories about the band during that time period. It's amazing how many details you know about this. I definitely put Mick Jagger up there as one of the greatest front men of all time - if not the best. I love so many eras of The Stones but you are right, this was truly magic.

Brussels Affair was the selling point for me as well. As soon I saw it was included I pre-ordered without even looking at the rest of of the package. Easily one of the best live albums by anyone. This was a really great series of videos, Steve. I watched every minute of all three. Thanks for all the background and history. I'm liking GHS even more now, and I loved it before your series.

Wonderful in depth personal analysis of the greatest rocknroll band in the world in their prime. I thankyou for your labour of love tribute to their unique greatness which has stood the test of time. I salute sir for your incite and hours of hard work bless you man.

Hello Steve; High praise for the time & effort you spent on research & development of the project. The main focal point of the documentary is to open up a discussion & debate concerning Goat's Head Soup. Rambling is part of the feeling one has for their production. Call it a post documentary explanation. Fans of the group will purchase the LP regardless of cost. The down side being this material should have been released years ago. For Exile on Main Street the 4th mix was used. Maybe one day we will hear the others. I don't know how many mixes were done for Goat's Head Soup, & which ones were used. The video helps explain & tie up loose ends. Your analysis is as good a description as any. As far as live performances go we never know how many overdubs are done to make the recording presentable. The comparison between the bootlegs & the official releases on a performance level would be a good topic to discuss. Overall the video adds to the discussion. Well done as always. Very informative. Looking forward to more LP reviews. Tina & Pat!~

Really appreciate the love for Winter in Pt. 2. Your description of the song is exactly why it's one of my favorites. I will always wonder why it was never a big hit. I would guess the length had something to do with it.

Thanks Steve. Great wrap up to this series I don't have this version of Brussels Affair, but one of the bootlegs from 2010 or earlier. - Chris

Just, thank you ☺️

There some kind of magic in the blending of Keith's vocals with Mick's vocals.

Steve, Awesome part 3 ! Once again Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Thank you for your deep review. I hope you do more in the future. Love your enthusiasm.

We all need those deeper fans like yourself so we can learn and get knowledge from. This is what its all about for me. Were you can go to a Stone concert and talk to a complete stranger and make a connection with them by talking about the Stones.

Hi Steve. Thanks for all the hard work. Great videos. The Stones planned to play Cardiff Castle in Wales in September 1973. Not sure what happened but it was cancelled. I was 19 and a huge fan. Imagine my disappointment. Managed to see them in the early eighties at Wembley.

Great review for a great album. I need that box set to get Brussels Affair!

With you 100%. There are quite a few songs I like with the early Stones but for me it all REALLY kicked in with JJF and Beggars.

Love this series Steve.Having been around from the beginning of the Stones.Goats Head Soup is one of my favorite albums.1973 was one helluva year for music.I could pick up 15 albums a week and still miss anothe 10 just as good.

Well ! You did your job ! I already bought the alternate cover with the seven inch but Yiu talked uk the Brussels affair so much I just bought the deluxe off of Amazon for $107 for a grand total off $150 ! Great stuff Steve , can't wait to sit down with a nice beverage and blast my face with live Stones ! Some Girls loved it from the first time I heard it that was the album that did it for me as well as hot rocks and when tattoo You came out I devoured it ! Take care and hope the work week is good .

Thanks for your very detailed and insightful review I was lucky enough to have caught the band on this tour at the Apollo Glasgow (capacity 3500) September 1973 and they were at the top of their game. I will never forget it, I have seen them a few times since, 1976 again with Billy Preston Apollo Glasgow -1982 Edinburgh Playhouse-2003 SECC Glasgow-2006 Hampden Park Glasgow, all with Ronnie on guitar but for me you can't beat the Mick Taylor/sound/ era...... Having said that, if you do get the chance, go and see them don't miss out, as nobody can touch them, they are the real deal The last of the true originals

Another fantastic album review,thanks again !

Recently came across your channel great stuff im a massive stones fan love the depth you go into.. Goats heads a stunning album

Excellent job great homework I thought I knew a lot you told me so much more Thank you for your insight and teaching me so much more

Thx for this, i became a Stones fan when this album came out so its my fav .

I would suggest their mono box set on cd.

My brother louie recorded this concert from the King biscuit flower hour, in 1973, played it when me and Andrew got back from New York, midnight rambler just blew me away

Me again- has it ever been established that Jimmy Page played on Through The Lonely Nights" ? Its a 30 year mystery. Lol legend has it Page was on vacation and conveniently joined the Stones on the recording. Thanx. So glad " Scarlett ( not a Stones song )was finaly released after 48 years.

sire, me thanks. This kinda changed my life. Never saw the world in the same way. Maybe it was the opioid downer speech that convinced me that your research is honest somehow, in some dead stoned way (no offence, am an idiot), listened to your lecture really carefully years ago. It's amazing how your words got burned in my mind. Made this bright image, like I was there. Listened to them as early as 6 years old, truly enjoyed those first records as a kid. Maybe it sounds stupid and silly, I remember bringing huge 80s cassette tape radio to school in the first grade (6-7years). Took only one tape, this white amazing cassette that looked like no cassette I saw before or since. It was the original Deca with their early hits, ...sire, it took off with Route 66 and landed with Carol That, sire, was the time of my life, I think. I knew the tape by heart already, but seeing the faces of my schoolmates, girls and boys, smiling out of pure joy and sensing, I guess the overwhelming feeling of goosebumps. We rolled back the first track, I don't know, at least 20 times. All in shock, even me, dancing like mad. I tell you, l sire, 7 year olds, we would spontaneously grab a first partner, boy or a girl, and danced like in heaven, with pure hearts. Living behind the iron curtain, my deca cassette had to be smuggled in the socialistic hell through minefields and machine gun nests by my parents when they visited london. As kids we even knew english enough to ruffly understand what the lyrics were about. in my late 20s (now twice as old, am a musician) I used to say that the Beatles wrote better, deeper, whatnot songs, and of course defended my Stones (really was a stones all my life) by calming a solid one, that Stones are superior to Beatles for good drinking party. And now I agree, sire, honestly realized that the other day, a week ago, after 40 years I know again that mick and kieth wrote much more meaningful than Beatles, Zeppelin of Cream. ...Or Zappa. Now I truly know, Stones are the best music group of all times. Btw, an alcoholic. Carol was my bender trigger song, oh yeah. Something about the old, like, the original prime feeling of Berry vibe. People would start crying, too, when they heard me play it, cranking my amp, driving my dreaded speaker towers towards the 11. It would mean big, big trouble for any fellow men. Or myself even, beaten to pulp, broken down to peaces yet again, hospitalized, arrested. Missing teeth, soiled, pissed upon. Kicked in the balls by Police, traumatized by the revengeful, or something.

Great 3 part piece again. Keep up the Good work!

i LOVE this version of street fighting man - maybe the heaviest - sloppiest - most beautiful - goes into psychedelic territory and punk at the same time. . mind blowing
