Thank you FlipSideCT for your labor collecting all the information and photos from this era with the Stones. It is a work of historical record whose content that will shine even further on down the road. 👍
thanks as always Artemis for your kind support. I have a lot of gratitude to my resources. but using my passion to compile it all and bring it to a visual timeline for us fans. cheers and thanks again!!

@@FlipSideCT James Joyce took 17 years to write Finnegans Wake and was continually making changes to galley proofs. All good art is not quite ever finished. Thank you again for some of the great photographs included, and especially images of Robert Frank an icon for me on photography. The image next to screen name is a Robert Frank photograph of Welsh miners.
Hey Steve That was a quick turnaround from Part 3, especially during the summer when you should be doing other things. But we are all so grateful. Thank you again and again, my friend. Loved the opening sequence with the photo graphics and isolated vocals. You always do find new ways to start each of your productions. What creativity! You continue to astound me/us with your ability to source out unique, candid, and behind-the-scenes/backstage materials for your videos! It still amazes me about the workload that bands had back when they were younger. It’s shocking there wasn’t more burnout at the time. In the early and mid-60s, two albums a year could be released, with touring in between. Then one album a year, from the late 60s until the mid 80s, as the number of tours was reduced and were shorter until 1989 onward with the Stones’ renaissance. How they could withstand performing one show a night for weeks on end is baffling but then there were times they did two shows a night. For whatever reason, the band always seems to find off the beaten path locations to play in. Now it’s a likely more for their own enjoyment, but perhaps back in those days, university towns were the only places with venues having the capacity to hold fans, as well as having a resident population to fill those seats. Imagine being upset over an extra 50 cents a ticket, or having them go on sale at 10pm (if I heard that last bit correctly). I think many of us would have loved to visit Paradise Records on Hollywood Blvd for those bootlegs. This tour certainly had a Murderer’s Row of photographers, and stage attire by one of the greats Ozzie Clark who had quite a life himself. It was wonderful to see Tina Turner between shows in LA, and the band welcoming her there as the legend she was becoming, especially during those dark times in her life. They and Bowie always saw her as that as she inspired them. It was great to see a spotlight on Let It Loose, a truly underrated song by them. And now onto Part 5, as there is more than a month left on the tour. Can’t wait
Hi Kathy, I agree, I should be relaxing. I actually rushed at the end (please read my description apology I just added). I take a mistake like that seriously, and to your point, I wanted to relax and do nothing! arghh! Very cool to hear you enjoy the intro, one of my favorite parts to make these, and to think about. The thought is usually done, when I see or hear something as I edit. it may be soon or later...but I just say to myself, yea that works for the intro. Amazon all the dynamics for music, studio time, writing, touring and pleasing. Got to say, not a normal routine, and where and how their external body enhancing powders assist. Which is why Bill stopped, and said enough! Yea, total 1927 Yanks photographers! They knew how to promote this! LILoose is one of my gems and enjoyed breaking it down. LOL, I don't know if I may have PART 6. Got more scripting to do, so it will take longer. Throw in the Yanks and post season, and football season starting, then the Knicks. all my best to you and for your support!! Steve

It still blows my mind that Keith's singing voice is that, while his speaking voice is THAT. Thank you for the breakdown on Happy - I really didn't realize there was only two verses, how simple the bass and drums were, because the song always sounds like a monster. What? Let it Loose might be one of my favorite tracks on the whole album!
Keith has that love it or leave it voice. Erase that from your memory...... BIG HUGE mistake, I put it in the description. It is 3 verses.....I was rushing and when I copied lyrics off a webpage it did not have the 3rd verse. I take the blame for not picking up on it. blah!!! that disgusts me, I lost sleep. oh well. Yes, I was shocked to hear the bass/drums. I Got The Blues morphed into the next stage for Let It Loose, forgot to mention that. wonderful!

So fascinating to get more insight into what many regard as their ‘peak era’ . The entire machine has been taken apart and put back together so we can see the inner workings ! Thank you so very much Steve!
very cool to see your comment! thank you for that support. I was glad to get Richard's book that had this information as the documentation of it is great, and had to include it with my doc package. PART 5 is still being worked on!

Hi FlipSide I’m So Happy and Grateful for Your Series on the 72 Tour There are So Many Tid Bit’s of Killer Information that You have Brought Out for Us… I Can’t Wait for Episode 5… We’ll Wait I Hope Everyone Reading This has a Wonderful Day Gonna Go and Share This with My Brother Thanks Again…..✨
thank you for your wonderful comment Stephen and support. I would have thought more fans would have said that, and let me know. Unless they knew it all. I think the 72' tour was not deeply exposed, so I think I have brought this. Part 5 to start soon in work. cheers
In 1994 while a reporter with ITV News Edmonton I ran into and interviewed Bobby Keys as part of a Rolling Stones advancer story. I asked him about the throwing of the tv. He was polite and laughed and said now Keith and the gang just chills and plays backgammon. I got him to autograph my Exile CD.
I met Bobby Keys during Keith’s solo tour in 1993. A truly down to earth man. I asked him to get me Keith’s autograph for me and my wife and he delivered. I have it framed. Thanks Bobby. RIP
I second that emotion - your work should be used in courses on the era. Super well done. This one is my favorite episode in the series. Thank you so much!

very welcome Scott! thank you for sharing that. I really feel the same way making these, that if I was a fan, I would love seeing it also! someone had to do it! I will keep it going as long as I can.
These documentaries are more fascinating and detailed than any other stones docu available. I have been watching your series for the past year and put on the nellcôte 2 parter whenever I have a big coding task to accomplish. I would love to donate and also gain access to the extra content you provide for donators. Thank you for continuing to give a university-level education in Stones Theory to this young enthusiastic fan!

Once again you have transported me to age 24 in 1972 for STP...what a gas the hottest heat the brightest light the highest charged electricity just like being there (again) your work is museum/university quality, agree with others who say this should be taught as history of an era continued success to my RockinBud brother
To a Rockingbud brother thank you! glad to take you on the trip with me! I look forward to PART 5 and seeing and hearing some of the kick ass sounds and vid! TY!!!!
Another fantastic installment! I especially liked the deep-dives on the creation of the songs you discuss, along with the anecdotes of the narrative story.
Thank you so much, glad you commented to let me know! goes a long way for me to hear it. Glad you like the deep dives....I can't even remember if I did it for all the other songs in PART 1-3. But 3 more songs to go, I do know that for PART 5.
Love your series, big up on the research! Looking forward to this installment. Assuming you've put this idea on your 'someday' list, I'm seconding a set on the live albums-Got Live to Still Life, with anything after at your judicious discretion. So much on Ya Ya's alone, and the '75, '78 and '81 shows come with great videos. Cheers!
thank you!! enjoy this! Tackling on the next project is not simple, just a feel. Anything is possible. I have had many viewers ask me about doing Exile over the years, and I thought there is enough material out there already, and said no way. Well now I got these, and glad I did. So always a possibility. I will say the earlier works are a bit uneasy for me, as the Brian fans can be harsh if something ticks them off. thanks for sharing! cheers

@@FlipSideCT And 'feel' is why these are so worthwhile...AI is coming out with robodocs every couple of hours, without warmth or wonder. Yours is a labor of love, something supremely unhurriable. Also, re: Mr. Jones...Rock and Roll fandom can be a bit of a sport, if you let it, so there will be Brian (and Mick T and Ronnie and Wayne and Harvey and the what-ifs) tailgate beer-belligerence, broadsides and blowback, but rock and roll itself is an art, so don't be dissuaded by their well-meaning ignorances. I loved the Brian of I Wanna Be Your Man and Under My Thumb, but he died, and the world...and the band...went on. Two side thoughts: Brian's interest in Joujouka predated the world music and electronics smorgasbord we finally have in the 2020's; you likely mentioned this in Beggar's, but recent listens have shown it to be much better than I thought 40 years ago. And, following on, do you have any interest in Mdou Moctar, Tinarawen, etc? There's a Ry Cooder angle there, too. Rant ends, rock and research on, with thanks and further encouragement, etc!

Terrific! Thank you for posting. On Happy ... think about how many hours Keith, Mick T and Bill must have spent jamming before Keith created something even close to what we hear on the album.
@@FlipSideCT I'm sure you're right. But, watching Stones in Exile, it looked like Keith, Bill and, invariably, Mick T would jam for hours until Keith came up with something he liked. Then they'd work on that. Charlie joined the sessions when he wasn't home with his family over the weekends ... On the other hand, and as you probably know, Keith came up with the opening to Satisfaction literally in his sleep.
@@andrewcowin3815 yes, the Stones model was jamming and figuring out what works. Or stop and move on to another jam, but keep recording them. A hightluxury not many are able to do. Satisfaction was an exception

Steve, yo, what’s up, what’s up!!!? I’ve been waiting for this one. What you do is so good that I think I’m going to just have to make up another moniker for you like Dr. Doc! well, what can I say? I really enjoy each and every one of these you know I’ve been with you for a long time now and let me tell you each, and everyone of these keeps growing and getting better and better, and better! So much spot on info and so much film footage that I’ve never seen before I always enjoy all of that. I particularly took notice of the moving film footage of Keith with his back, then girlfriend who I believe was Quincy Jones’s daughter. You showed her and part three as well as this one with the backstage footage. you are the perfect narrator for these Rolling Stones docs. also, as a player, I really loved the demonstration part with the two guitars top and bottom playing happy really great! Also some good footage of Bill and Charlie too and some great Mick Taylor stuff also. Many of your subscribers are right when they say oh it’s like Christmas morning opening a gift or it’s like a kid in a candy store. Yeah, you know, your docs are that great. I just love them more and more as time goes on. Well keep it rocking flipside. I’m really waiting on part five I think it’s going to be fantastic, cheers to you, my friend and I’ll talk to you next time for sure-DOMENIC Philly, DC🎉!!!!!
Thank you as always Domenic! It is warming to read this, and I showed my wife, who smiled plenty! It is a huge challenge to make these and create something of interest and not ho hum, and something fans can walkaway with. So kudos to you and fans like you who get it and can enjoy and identify these choices I make. I will say, I know Robert Frank had many 1-2 second shots of footage in CSB, that the normal eye can not pick up when watching, it is just too quick......this was eye candy for me to play it in slow mo and show it here. It is like Christmas for me, as I enjoy giving and seeing and feeling the smiles! Yes, PART 5 will be a hoot, I have only 2 shows scripted, and that is many pages already (KC/DALLAS), then there is much more after, so it will take a bit longer.....I do need down time, plus the NY Yankees are doing well, and Football starting, so that takes me away from other life chaos. thanks again for all my friend. hope one day we meet.
@ Steve Flip Side CT Leaving for downtown Toronto early tomorrow morning with the Jag. Got her all gassed up. Ready to go! 3-4 day drive expected. Hope my old Black Lena makes it. I can’t wait to see all of New England too. Around 2000 miles Toronto or Bust!!!

@ Steve Flip Side CT But your BIG important point still stands it may be only 2 or 3 ....I guess it’s 3 after all BUT it seems like 5 or 7 It’s minimalist at it’s best in HAPPY BUT it seems like there is sooo much more in there! The little one offs and little mistakes are what make it great ! And you point still stands actually it is underscored even more it was 3 not 4 or 5. Sure seems like MORE! Everything about that song seems like more ! - Greg
sure Dave, yw. It is one that we do not tire of. Live or Studio is great. actually KEith sings You Got the Silver, up to that point. but after Coming Down Again, T&A, All About you, and many others.
@@FlipSideCT thanks, I wish you chimed in on their latest tour! Your review of Diamonds was spot on! Angry has become a new anthem song for the Stones! they get great crowd participation with it, its their new Start me Up!
One more note, "Let it Loose" was preceded by "I Got the Blues" on Sticky Fingers and followed by "Winter" and then "If You Really Want to Be My Friend" finally morphing into "Fool to Cry" which had more of a disco feel than the "Stax"/gospel vibe.
@ Steve I left on Monday at 8:00 am ( just before ) I got in on Thursday to downtown Toronto at just before 8:00 pm. 3 solid nights of driving and 4 solid days. I slept in the Jaguar from about 6 am to 11 am
I look forward everyday to the possibility of a new one of these coming out!!! Great job. Also not trying to be “rude” lol but it’s mind-blowing how perfect that guy played every lick in the “Happy” demonstration video except the main intro chord that’s fretted after the barred E, lol. Sorry I had to 🤍😹 with all due respect it was perfect but again I had to just throw that in for anyone wanting to play it the Keith way on guitar. It’s those little Keith things that really count and are glorious on guitar! 😉😬😹🙏🏻
thank you for your support and commenting! not rude. I appreciate you kicking off your POSITIVE comment first. That tells me you are with me and get it. Jeremy is a fabulous player and may miss some things here and there. He is very humble and just has the passion. But, pointing out something like that, he would take it as constructive, as long as he also knows there is some positive. Give him a comment on his version and talk to him about it, it is very cool and open. thanks for all!

I checked your channel and see we are both plenty in sync musically. First off, so Sin City is a Stones cover band you are in, now I see where your first comment comes in from. Then I checked into the GRAM Wild Horses vid, and that took me down a rabbit hole for my next Sticky project. Which I catalog for resources as I move along. I also got the Gram interview about WHorses. that led me to Jim Dickinson talking about their Muscle Shoals visit. This is the material I love using. so thanks for all!

You could do a great documentary on just the relationship with Bill Graham and the Stones. 1981 1st stadium tour in rock history. What an amazing guy Bill was. Badass.

Oh man. You just got to my venue brother. Met sports center! No longer there. I camped out the night before the Tix went on sale The 64 gig was at the danceland ballroom at Excelsior amusement center. That appearance later led to a myth that You Can't always get what you want was written about Mr Jimmy hutmaker from Excelsior. You've probably heard the story. I believe the Mr Jimmy in the song was actually Jimmy Miller. A lot of Minnesotans believe that myth to this day😮
Btw. I was in front of Mick Taylor. Nicky was to his right. And the stones were fantastic!! It still seems surreal to me. and I have seen several shows since. Last one was 2015

@ Steve FSCT I’ve been working on cooking a French Red Wine Beef Stew. This is a hard dish to pull off correctly. But your new STONES DOC has been by my side the whole time I’ve been attempting this dish again. OKAY so what I learnt is I maybe can’t cook after all. LOL I’m going to stick to my Italian food from now on I think. A dark red wine gravy sauce is not easy to make work perfectly. So easy for it to taste off! But I’m going to keep doctoring it until something works and it tastes better. I don’t know how much of a chance I’m going to have to cook in Toronto so I thought I had better try this before I leave. Definitely going to check out some good Italian restaurants this time when I’m in Toronto again, if there are any. All my food ends up tasting Italian. LOL I end up making pasta to go with my bacon and eggs. LOL
@ Steve This one right over my head unfortunately. I don’t quite follow.. FlipSideCT channel going for company?? :o I don’t get it, I’m sorry.. But food yup yes and next up is a creamy Italian meat sauce. I’m going to run some empties in to the old bottle depot to get the minced beef for it. This one I know how to make - no trial experiments with this one. And lucky have everything else for it in the house. Save for some stock I’ll need to get I suppose. A meat sauce for on pasta of course. Fall is starting here fast and today is much cooler than it had been. I think I seen my first leaf fall yesterday. Toronto..autumn starts a lot later than here.

@@williamtynertyner1425 and I thank you for pointing it out, I am so glad you and another did. I am the guy that needed to get 100% on my projects in school. But hated tests, oh did I.
@ Steve Flip Side CT Happy came about in 1971 in the south of France when the others didn’t show up and Keith was by himself. He got it on the first take And you can even hear the first take of when he got it on the finished song because they put the very first take on to the beginning of the finished song. When you have a listen the first part sounds different from the rest of the song that it leads into. And when asked why the song is called HAPPY Keith replied that because nobody else was around and WHEN he nailed this very first demo take on the very first demo recording it made him HAPPY and that’s why that very first demo take is also on there, used for as the intro of the finished song. Because the very first take often seems the best somehow so why not put it in there! They did the very same thing or a very similar thing for Midnight Rambler and you hear the intro is off a simple recorder very similar to HAPPY. This procedure or recording practice is practically unheard of in the industry and is uniquely STONES and maybe only KEITH and the STONES and Company are the only ones to pull it off really well. Moreover, to me it is also like Keith skipping something through the back door and many people are not even aware of what they are actually listening to when the song starts because it naturally sounds so good just about nobody thinks to question it. It’s like a ONE OFF sort of thing. That’s what HAPPY IS ! It’s actually a form of realism and it’s very spontaneous. They can pull it off because it just works so well.....that first take is so special it just makes you feel happy and you weren’t actually thinking about it before it happened. Well Keith actually captures that and thatS HAPPY AND THATS What you actually start to hear right in the gosh darn finished track. And it’s a two sided coin and a flip sided coin too. After doing these songs live over and over they really evolve and there are things they wish they could have included on the studio cut. But the very first take is the front of that coin and they must have thought it was so good and cool if they could get that on there before the song evolved and they did! This was all explained to me from somewhere but I can’t remember where I read it. I think it was from an interview from Keith himself. The other thing about HAPPY is just read the interview from 1971 with Keith and Anita in the magazine THE ROLLING STONE that was done down there in the south of France. You can really tell where Keith’s head was when you listen back to the lyrics in HAPPY. This one off depth realism is maybe what I like best about THE STONES. It’s like they aren’t out to impress anyone but if they found something that made them happy then that’s what you will get and hear ! And if it makes you happy too then all the better. And if we don’t dig it or get it then that’s our problem. If it’s good stuff we will probably get it at some point. When you hit something dead on , on the very first take and it was totally unintentional ...you were just killing time until all the others showed up ....that makes you feel HAPPY! That’s what HAPPY is about more or less on one level among other things. The other thing is just that a ROCK N ROLL career can make you happy if you don’t need to be like papa working for the boss man all night and day. For once Keith showed up in 1971 and for once the others didn’t and it turned out to be VERY PRODUCTIVE just playing and waiting for them and to my knowledge as far as I know that’s where HAPPY came from and they even GOT THAT RIGHT ON THERE ( at the very beginning) so you can hear it and feel it! :) That’s why it sounds so monotone right at the beginning. BUT MONOTONE couldn’t actually be further from the truth! Slipping something great in through the back door. It makes you go YEAH!!!!!!! At the end of BROWN SUGAR you can hear Keith go YEAH !!!!! And I understand that in the end that first take of BROWN SUGAR from 69 is the one they decided to go with !!!! Happy sort of expresses and epitomizes that feeling and experience in a song and in the song. It’s actually a pretty deep thing that’s going on but it’s in another way, couldn’t be more simple!! :) Isn’t that H A P P Y ? What H A P P Y is ? After All ?
@ STEVE That’s the honest truth....we may never know the full and compete true story or as you say know everything or get it all understood - even the members themselves forget a lot of it or have a particular perspective - but you do very much to fill in many of the gaps and I think most of the gaps. Your docs are very well researched and factual And seem very well cross referenced. One could probably do a PhD on HAPPY alone but be good to start with you what you have made and compiled and go from there following all the lines and threads. Back in the day some fabricated rumours became what passed for knowledge and were widely believed but were totally untrue - such as Keith getting a complete blood transfusion in Switzerland. I think Keith himself has debunked that nasty little bugger for us that went on for a long time by saying that he ‘wouldn’t change this blood for anything.’ You do even more for us and put it all together! The research that goes into your docs must really be climbing Mt. Everest every time. You are the man on the mountain that says come on up!!! And we are the other fans in the valley with a face full of MUD:) but after your climb we get to come up with you! Really like this DOC!!!!! YOU ARE JUST GETTING BETTER AND BETTER! It’s such great work !!!! Really timeless stuff !!!! Without you so much would have been lost in the shadows of time. Like Humpty Dumpty they wouldn’t have been able to put it all back together again and a lot would be lost. YOU HAVE CAPTURED AND PRESERVED SOOO MUCH! :) we are definitely closer to knowing and understanding everything because of you!
@@gregdettling6693 I am blushing, thank you Greg for all the support as I always say. I really hope(d) more would get wind of these and watch. There has got to be some thing here to walk away with! cheers
@ Steve Flip Side CT Blushing...you deserve it. You deserve much more praise than you actually get for making these! Before a big new doc goes out maybe well before....a short RU-vid trailers for just a taste and this can build the anticipation even more and also get people talking as the anticipation builds. A little prelude of what they will be in store for. It might make time for all that to build and for people to talk and for word to get around while you are working on it. Then watch if views don’t go up more quickly as soon as it comes out. Give everyone a little something to go on until it comes out. No exact deadlines or exact dates, that can be a surprise! :) Something this big like one of your new Docs - just like any big film - seems to deserve a little short preview tidbit just to grease the skids. I’d be curious to see if the initial views didn’t go way up even more quickly as soon as the final product came out. - Greg
@@gregdettling6693 great advise Greg, a trailer. I will look into that. I am disappointed in the amount of the last few view counts. But I am thinking that is due that I am not doing many, and it can get lost in viewers Subscriptions. Some may not be notified either. I do not want to come off at all an obnoxious channel as I see some are, and annoying with flooding and promoting. As time goes on, the number of views naturally increase. thanks
Not sure why they didn’t release more live show soundboards?? I heard they were accidentally lost. Burned. Or something anyone have any insight into this ?
I was frustrated on this topic, and can not understand why. Other then they wanted to keep L&G the sole source. There was supposed to be a live album, but they fell apart.
Need to add this....I put it in the description Major embarrassment on my part, HAPPY has 3 verses not 2. I was rushing, and totally off on that. My apologies. OF course I know the verse missing, but was not focused. Sorry Never got a flash out of cocktails When I got some flesh off the bone Never got a lift out of Lear jets When I can fly way back home

I heard Jagger has always gone to the handicapped sections of arenas in disguise on the way but revealing himself to the fans in those areas with albums cd's or tapes and t shirts and never letting anyone know about it Now thats cool back in the day venues would demand all special needs fans would be assigned to certain areas
I believe that is highly possible. In MA, at a stadium show he was out an about in the tailgating, and joined a group of kids jamming on guitar and sang with them. very cool

@ Steve Flip Side CT I got a very special message for Steve. This is Houston to project Toronto . Noooo the other ways around This is PROJECT downtown TORONTO 2024 ‘TO HOUSTON’ The big Black Lena has landed!!! Greg is now in T0 Everything went smoothly and smooth as silk on a babies ass! I’m in town and I’m in my room already and big Black Lena has her own parking spot right downtown. Only about 3000 miles later 4 days and 3 nights of solid driving. This JAGUAR just screams New England!!!!!! Keith had an English car ( Blue Lena ) to start with and he kept her for a long long time and I thought I’d try one too. From Grande Prairie Alberta near where the Alaska Highway begins to downtown Toronto Ontario Canada. What a long drive !!!!!!!!!! I did it mostly at night !!!!!!!!!!!
