🎸 I understand why I was less interested in the Rolling Stones at the turn of the 60s and 70s and why I was so hooked at the time of this recording: the sound! It's the sound that had initially electrified me. I find it again here, so this album is a fountain of youth for me. Thank you!
Couldn’t disagree more. That period from 1968 to 1972 was the best of the Stones… Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main Street… 4 great albums
@@VincentAgostino-gy6hr YES! Mick Taylor made their golden years for them, then they threw him under the bus and cut him out Mick and Keith did, or should I say "Sir Mick" and Freemason Keith, sellouts both..
I rememberd this record at a ice cream shop in La Cumbre Argentina en january 1965, just almost 11 years old, We were sitting at the bar with our milk shakes and dreaming about travelling to England, This record is one of the best
All my praising to The Rolling Stones for having their eyes - ears -open wide enough to adopt Blues as their music of choice back then. Rock wouldn't be as it is without them. Also praises to those first fathers of the Blues for being so inspirational to The Rolling Stones. 🤘
Just seen them perform this past Saturday in Southern California. They are a timeless band. No matter how old they sure can make a crowd jump and jive. Thanks to my Dad for playing records every Saturday morning.
Saw them at Levi stadium on the 17th. Last time was Candlestick Park 1981. They had just as much energy at Levi as they did at Candlestick. I love the Stones because they stick to the honky tonk blues from the gate. Tha 51OG approves 😎🎶🔥🖕🏽🤟🏽💯
@@Mr.Grinch510 My first album was Still Life, when I was 9 years old. Used to dislike that weird sound and loved Flashpoint, my 2nd album. Now it's complete opposite.
I was just a child in 65 yet my mom played Rolling Stones 45s constantly so I became addicted for life..My first art award was in high school of Mick Jagger in 1970. I even did sculpture of Jagger and also won awards in college. But it was Brian Jones that I thought was special. Yet it was Jagger being the lead front man cause of his vocals and later his moves on stage. Come Sticky Fingers the Blues hit home. I cried when Charlie died. But Ian Stewart & Bobby Keys made the The Rolling Stones great too....even their Muse Anita..
A friend helped out doing restoration work at Chess a few years ago and surprised me by asking me if I wanted to go see the Black and White Stones picture exhibit on opening night,my answer was of course. You could feel their energy throughout the whole place and climbing up the back stairs knowing they and many others climbed those same stairs carrying their equipment made it even better. A great night for a ride on our Harleys parked right in front of Chess on a beautiful Summer Night....thanks to my friend Andy Wallace!
I not saying anything negative, they have lost incredible members along the way like Brian, Mick Taylor, Bill and now Charlie but they kept on going. I love all of them and God be with them as they continue to play music. ❤❤❤
Losing Charlie was the final piece of the puzzle that they could not lose. Without him, it's not the Stones anymore. Especially without Bill and Charlie. I wish they would just stop now. I've got boxes of bootlegs of shows and studio outtakes that will keep me going till i die.
These guys sound pretty good, bet they have a bright future ahead of them. But seriously, we forget they were a top notch blues band to start, so hearing these for the first time, blown away on how good, students of the blues, homage, and if you like the blues, they were that new generation, playing at Ronnie Scott"s , this music. Excellent.
The Stones very much reintroduced the blues as we know today even though it has been around since the 20's it very much had so many known artists that some didn't live to see 30 but very much left a legacy. Robert Johnson is a a example who left at 26 years old and was right at his peak which he was starting to emerge as a artist before his sudden passing. by the fifties Chess Records became the centre foundation for Blues music which very much got folks listening and for a time it looked like it would revive the rock scene. By the late 50's many of these artists went overseas which revive their careers and it very much planted a seed that would change the course of music history of what you hearing now.
in 1970 i was jong boy 16 years old first job ,en listing radio home & workplace i love the stones ,i cat 3 lp''s from the stones from the sixties & zeventies more than 45 years old ...
The lineup used to be-- Mick Jagger: vocals, harmonica Keith Richards: lead and rhythm guitars Brian Jones: lead and rhythm guitars Ian Stewart: piano Bill Wyman: bass Charlie Watts: drums, percussion The Stones were rocking and rolling steadily….that is, until their favorite record producer Andrew Loog Oldham stuck his camel’s nose into the tent and demanded that Mick and the boys dump their beloved piano player Ian Stewart because he was considered too old for the rest of the band. And wouldn’t you just know it, they folded like a cheap suitcase and jettisoned Mr. Stewart. He did tour with The Rolling Stones from time to time and even guested on several of their albums, but it just wasn’t the same. Ian Stewart died in 1985 not a true blue member in good standing. What a way to treat a great piano man. Shit.
@@EdubertoPalitroke Nor did they argue losing Mick Taylor after changing companies, and their lawyers telling them they didn't have to pay him anymore. Mick and Keith will live in infamy in my mind because of that, without Mick Taylor their golden years wouldn't have happened.
Che dire di questi rolling stones prima maniera una vera chicca nascosta ancor più orecchiabili e più genuini per quel epoca passata ed ancora oggi e un piacere riascoltare questi brani blues rock country ❤😂😅😊
Beggars to voodoo is what period I listen to. And even though I appreciate their shifts in sytle and/or genre from album to album, which are great. Nothing sounds quite as homely as when they are playing the blues or country. Even 60+ years later.
This was so much cooler than what the Beatles were doing. I was 10 or so and caught the feel this music had. I was lucky I had an older brother to influence me.
@@user-le7xi2cz2v Greetings right back atcha. In high school my creative writing teacher gave me his copy of Noone Here Gets Out Alive...blew my mind. I identified with Jim and he quickly became my first rock hero. Was alredy playing bass guitar and was inspired to transform my poetry into lyrics. Played heavy rock n punk but as I got older wanted to know who my favorite artist were inspired by. Jim was the first I did this to and learned the blues. But also Rimbaud among other writers and was inspired all over again. My back track into music and poetry history has had a profound impact on my life. It's been a poetic life that I wouldn't want or wish for anyone else but it's been mine and I own it. The path of excess and all that. I truly feel blessed that I'm still here. And if it wasn't for Jim I would certainly feel so much more alone in this world. I still don't quite understand this world n the only time I have ever felt appreciated is while performing. Anyway didn't mean to go on, probably the longest response I've wrote. But yeah the Doors are in that time I was referring. Also I've got a glass of home made wine with your name on it here in N.C. I'll finish here with my favorite line of all time...this is the craziest life I've ever known. Rock on my friend
Very much in the 12x5 and Now! vein, 2 classic albums with much from the Chess sessions! Ive been playing them for over 50 years, and they improved on 2003 with the SACD remastering ❤️
@@EdubertoPalitroke Yes, in the 2000s. Dylan's catalog too, but you could just play them on a regular CD player and all those ABKCO albums sounded spectacular, no more fake stereo etc. I mean you hear the way "Around and Around" on 12x5 just jumps out of the speakers! I never had the SACD player myself.
If this is indeed the cover for this album, it's a crop of a larger illustration that includes the rest of the cave and some of the surrounding landscape. The five figures aren't really dominant in the picture - they kind of blend in, which is one thing that makes it so cool. I have it as a poster I purchased in the '80s. I think it's still in decent shape. The title is the same as the album. Bet you could find it online. (Edit) Looked it up, which confirmed my suspicions. Brian's head is 'faked in.' The original is of Woody, because he was a member when the picture was first made.
Cover is by Rodney Matthews, he did Nazareth's No Mean City and an old Scorpions album too, among others. He's best known for his fantasy illustrations for Moorcock and Tolkien books.
65 to 1975 was an era when slammed with some of the BEST Soul, Rock&Blues music EVER..... and the times were way more cool cause it was the counterculture movement. Expect for the Viet Nam War and Civil Rights issues still going on....the baby boomers were the best times in that century. The Rolling Stones were way better than The Beatles cause they were more for adults and not just kids. 🎸🌱🎸🌱❤️
@@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR I remember one time. I went to the a record store. To buy an album. I saw the Stones and there where so many albums I was stunned.I ended up buying Alice Cooper's GO TO HELL and A David Bowie album. That might of been HEROES.
When I was 12 I discovered the Stones, that would be 1964.. There was a company in the U.K. That had mail-order British records. So I bought every EP, LP & 45 I could get from them on all the British bands that I liked! Most of the British LP’s were different compared to the American versions! They usually had more tracks and the vinyl was a better quality than here!
The picture of Brian is the same head shot as on the ‘metamorphosis’ album. I got that when it was released in 1976 it was quickly pulled by the Stones. I think Alan Klein released it without permission. He also screwed The Beatles. Lol cheers from Montreal
I also remember the record. We were at the Mlk shake bar downtown Sofia-Bulgaria. I was 17 then. It was something extraordinary. No dreams at all. This was a sound comming from unknown planet. We were behind the Iron Curtain. "Another time another place" as they say. I am a free person now at my 76 and I think I was a lucky one been a contemporary at those days
it’s kind of unusual that the Brits , like the Stones , Animals and even Led Zeppelin brought blues/rock back to the US where it originated !!! … but so glad they did !!!
@@EdubertoPalitroke … just saying , blues originated in America ; the British adopted the blues and rock , refined the genre and brought it back to America when American music was still doing do-wop … hells bells , we ( in the USA ) had to catch up to the Brits and that was UNUSUAL since WE invented it !!!
La banda de rocanrroll más grosa del mundo!!! Yo tuve la oportunidad de poder ver a sus Majestades en 1995, 1998, 2005 en River y en el 2016 en el estadio unico de la plata...😎💪🇦🇷👍❤🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼✨✨✨
The music on this collection was so good, I’m surprised that Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Elmore James, Chuck Berry, and Lightning Hopkins didn’t call on them right there in 1964. The Stones did hook up with Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry much later on in the 1980s.
@@thomastarwater2989 The Stones met all those guys in the 60s. Keith told the story of Muddy Waters painting a ceiling at Chess Studios to make some extra bucks.
Great stuff! The sound, rhythm, and beat that I loved dancing to in a small dark sweaty little bar, into the morning hours. Has all the flavor of the 50's Blues and electric Blues that I like, but with the Stones flavor. Blues artist's like Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter, Muddy Waters and Elmore James to name a few. I wonder if Jagger is doing all the harp work? It's really top notch.
@@geraldtanderson9044 Brian and Mick used to trade "harp duties". Keith said Mick began to play harp to compete with Brian, but History shows Richards is full of BS.
It's raw and basic, and that's the reason we were all drawn to the Stones, What did we expect the future would hold for us, and that they would still hold our attention and loyaty to date. Great recordings, let's find some more!
Better or worse, the Stones were a noticeably different sounding band with Brian. It must have really sucked to get kicked out of your own band. Now I know why Pete Best was cool about getting booted out the Beatles just when they were about to pop.
Just as a follow-up to clarify my previous statement. Obviously, the musical distinction is soundly attributable to the replacement of Brian Jones with the string prodigy, Mick Taylor.
