The Making of the Rolling Stones Black and Blue: Documentary Part 1 

I can not think any thing different from a Stones fan. thanks

I think people just pan it because everyone else does. You can't tell me Emotional Rescue, Undercover, and Dirty Work, are anywhere near the quality. B+B is also better than It's Only Rock'n'Roll, which is an average record.

Always thought the Stones stopped making good albums after Taylor left, Tattoo you was a ripper but Black and Blue lacked that bluesy feeling like Goats head, I gave my copy of Black and Blue to a friend because I couldn't listen to it, couldn't get into it.

​@@garybalranald6323Rock n roll wasn't that good as you say, Tattoo you was probably their best after Taylor left.

@@JohnJohn-zn8ib Tattoo You is patchy, though. Start Me Up is the big stadium hit, Heaven and to a lesser degree Slave follows the funk thread they start with Fingerprint File. Worried About You, Ain't no use in Crying, and Tops follow the Let it Loose/Winter/Time Waits for No one thread. Waiting on a Friend is ok, but a little boring. Hang Fire, Little T&A, and Neighbours are the rockers. Hang Fire has that tinny sound they started with Lies, carried on to a few songs on ER, and is ever-present on Dirty Work, Little T&A is Star Star levels of shit, and Neighbours, well it's nowhere near as good as Crazy Mama. Black Limousine is their obligatory blues number and it's shit. It's better than ER, IORR, and UOTN but not as good as Black and Blue and Some Girls.

niccccccccccce to hear this! thanks for letting me know Robert, and cool to acknowledge it! glad you can appreciate them. ER PT3 will be out very soon!!

you are welcome! This album is above brilliance!

thanks for sharing this.

Billy Preston was good

again, thank you Dean for all the support and your RnR genuine intelligence! It is great to be able to share with Fans from a Fan. a blast to make! PT2 will be fun! cheers from friend steve

thanks for your support. Yes, many many hours and my time. thanks for the acknowledgement!

Jeff, you are always kind! then again, RnR is in your blood! thank you! If these artists can just let some of us real fans interview them and ask intelligent geek questions, we can get more answers. Not sure if you are a fan, but check out Bobby Whitlock & Coco Carmel channel (not sure if I mentioned this to your or not). But he tells some great RnR stories, and his wife Coco documents these for us, the fans. cheers steve

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! @CalicoSilver I answered an '@FlipSideCT' comment in one of your videos awhile back. So, I have to comment to you here. You are BOTH: *THE MASTERS!* After years of gently trying to convince latter-day (faux) music historians they are mis-informed about: 'Jim Morrison', 'Taylor-vs.-Richards', 'Black Sabbath-vs.-'60s Heavy Metal', et al; It did this old-fart's heart good to find you two. It felt like... _'coming home'._ Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

@@jellobiafra2810 nice.....it is all family!

@@jellobiafra2810 Wow, thanks for your kind words, Dave! Much appreciated! Jeff

enjoy Rob. Thanks for commenting I am sure you will venture into my other docs. Yes, we all feel the vibe and joy they have given us. It is amazing, and why I make these to get their brilliance going,

Same. Memory is among my all time favorites

@@Piwork69 very hard to make any song close to it.

Thanks Barrie....makes me move. As real Stones fans, there is no reason to dislike this. it is epic and filled with STONESISMS. Now back to PT2 after a little break needed.

@Ronnie Wood Not sure if you are replying to Steve or my comment however i would love to join your Fan Group. Many thanks for the wonderful music you have made which has enriched my life along with millions of others. Steve does such an exceptional job with these documentaries....a real labour of love.

@@Baz63 Caution. - Dave B.

@@FlipSideCT Loved to watch this, man! learned quite some new facts. Thx, I'm Amsterdam based. Rotterdam De Doelen (The Doo-len meaning:The Goals) so now you know a new fact as well. All the best, Frankie

@@frankiewoodhouse2914 thanks Frankie!! love it!! thank you!

made me smile here SJ....great comment. It is rewarding for me to hear and see that other STONES fans are getting something from this. A formulated doc that we were always in need of. I totally get the visual you have. I have the same type of experience in 75' in my friends bedroom when I was 14 or when we used to hang out in our park as a gang (All Stones fans), listening to my portable tape player back then. Very personal and deep connections we had.....and what is embedded in us forever when we hear the Stones, brings us to some times we never thought of as special back then. liked your sharing of that!! comments like these makes it going for me! cheers steve

@@FlipSideCT Thanks Steve. Appreciate you taking the time to reply. I'm going to share another special memory if you don't mind and it's a lot more recent. I've seen the Stones four times. The last two times were in 2018. The last gig was in Twickenham Rugby Stadium in London which is about 150 miles away from where I live. As it was on a Tuesday, there was no way I was going to be able to travel there after work to get there in time and I knew I wouldn't be able to drive back afterwards so I arranged to stay with friends. I rang in sick on the Tuesday morning and drove to London. We had an amazing day that I can remember like it was yesterday. Opening with Street Fighting Man, the extended encore vamp on Satisfaction and the girl next to me who shared her spliff will always be with me. I wouldn't normally call in sick unless I really am ill but this was one occasion I have no regrets. The Stones moved onto mainland Europe next. Given the state of the world recently and the Stones' age, I sometimes wonder if that was the last time they ever played England. I hope not but, whatever, I am so glad I was there.

@@mr.stevejones1947 nice story thanks for sharing!! I think you made the right decision. Almost sounded like a serendipitous story with the girl....thought she would become your wife!! Their power of seeing them live is amazing, and the buzz they leave you. They are up there in age. they will pick and choose what they want to do. hopefully they stay healthy. cheers

@@FlipSideCT ; I like ya' line about you/ friends hangin' out in a bedroom, all Stones fans. I'm 56 now but that's exactly how it was with me/ my mates here in Melbourne, Australia. Still a huge fan, lounge room surrounded with rare tour posters from '69-81 or so (Aussie tour '73 poster - with ticket stub !! - a pride of sorts).

@Ronnie Wood ; add me too !

Glad you enjoyed it Triumph.......glad you are a Stones fan that picked up on this and commented!! YW, and TY!

@@jamesalfano5740 right James. B&B is just brilliance, and an album not many get, which is why I make these. Keep on watching other parts. thanks for sharing

@@FlipSideCT Thanks for posting this rare treat. This album came out when I was in JR. Highschool, when I was trying to form a band (I play guitar) with a singer Ronnie rip ,who was a Stones diehard, & another guitarist Lenny.Mark rip drums, Black & Blue, Love You Live & Some Girls, were what we were into. Sticky fingers is actually my personal favorite. This was put together so well, many things I never knew. Thanks again.

@@jamesalfano5740 sweet to hear. We have a parallel timeframe, as I was in 9th grade for this one, and did not realize what hit me. We were going to watch Battle of the Bands play Stones, plenty. But cool you were also hit with the bug. I picked up the guitar a few years later, and did plenty of jams to Love You Live in my basement, until my mother tells me to lower it some. Glad you can appreciate this all. Keep it going, I am sure you will learn more from these, as I did!

Cool, great.....like many others we never really seen or felt a real timeline on their events. Glad you feel it!! appreciated comment!!

Beginning of what would turn out to be the incredible forte crescendo final run of killer studio albums. She drove a pickup truck,painted green and blue. So tragic that I never did find that girl, but it’s a great track off Black and Blue side Two I believe anyone got it to check

@@paulfarrehi4200 so simple lyrics, and fits the story so well. They lost that, as Mick was trying to hard to write this way in the later years.

@@FlipSideCT Jagger never lost that! Out Of Tears, Almost Hear You Sigh, Streets Of Love, Already Over Me are all superb.! Plus Jagger's solo songs like Don't Tear Me Up & Hard Woman & others.

@@petermills542 ok Peter, yes, some songs worked. But many others I would not even compare to his older style of writing.

thanks Adam, I appreciate you letting me know, and being such a cool Stones fan to dig this! thanks

PRC....you get it !!! Thank you!! love it!! my point exactly for a FAN!

Agree

I agree. Nice to see these comments. Mick turned a corner vocally in 76. Falsetto, everything. 👍

Yep... Jagger was amazing on B&B... I've always loved this album! It's crackin with groove and was so well recorded. Loved Ronnie Wood's contributions as well... no wonder he got the gig.

Escute Hand of Fate, aquela voz é a mesma de quando entramos no inferno. Espetacular!

Mick is so brilliant on this, which I am going to try to elevate later. Pt2 working on, will be a bit. Has some great info. Right, I hear Stones songs, and it always sounds fresh! then gain, we are Stones heads. thanks for all

Yeah! I like his style!

yes indeed. it will be interesting if they do a Remix of B&B and what is changed.

Yes, that is a killer guitar solo, incredibly tasty.

thanks for sharing your story, the turn on is an amazing and fun thing.....we have to keep on doing it. There are so many siblings and friends and parents that have done the turn on. cheers great job Jim!

thanks Chaz....never ever get tired of them, and any song in fact. Hopefully you have heard on YT the alt versions of these songs. appreciate the comments!!!

I just love the Black & Blue album!!!

Nice John, you started when I did. 75' I was 14....and this was earth shattering great, as I was exposed to the rocking songs prior. Yea, those critics were not liked. That is why in Love You Live you hear Mick say at the El Mocombo Club, "everything alright in the critic section where a penny's a drink".....his way of saying F U. Thanks for sharing and commenting. cheers steve

GM, thank you so much, that is so cool to hear. I take extreme pride in my presentation and project, so this comment hits me well! I would maybe hope someone in the professional world picks up on what I did, and maybe let me consult. It is a FAN that needs to present something like this, not casual folks. cheers, PT2 is work in progress....taking a little break right now. cheers steve check out the other docs I have.

@@FlipSideCT Steve I would love your opinion on a blues/rock musical project of mine. Is there a way of getting in touch with you?

I vote for that

@@FlipSideCT Hi Steve - sorry I only just saw this comment of yours. I have emailed you today, so you can now remove it mate.

thanks you David, glad you enjoyed these. I am trying.

thanks Jason, glad you liked this! A crucial part of their history! Yes, yeah still clicked and were great.

exactly!! not to hard to bring that back....he just has to want to. Going back to the retro 70's crunch is allowed!

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! I hear what you guys are saying! There was a time when he was considered the best rhythm guitar player in hard rock! (He probably didn't like that _'distinction'_ ) There's still remnants of it if you look REAL HARD! -'Undercover Of The Night', maybe? -'I Go Wild'? -'Flip The Switch'? What about that weird thing he did with crunch chords on acoustic thru a top-load tape deck? Bring THAT back for an encore! He was *THE RIFF MASTER!* Now, he's just a great playa. Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

Thank you Dave, that is a very kind pep talk, as I just removed someone from the channel due to their disappointment. LOL. I am looking at the numbers, and 5% trolling is expected. appreciate your support!! It is the smart folks that get this! cheers steve

Thank you Brad, I like hearing that, as that means another Stones fan appreciates it and the Stones. I am with you, I still watch it as a fan. I got so tired of the crap that was out there and nothing had ALL the pieces tied in together. I am sure you will check out my others.. Some Girls in process now, and it is a challenge! cheers

@@FlipSideCT , you REALLY know your source material my friend. I can only imagine the time that you've put into this, compiling these, and in studying The Stones, as a whole. Just amazing This is all so concise, and I'm looking forward to all of your other work.

thank you!! a fun ride and great to share with other like minded folks. Yea, Ollie got asked thru a friend when Stevie was warming up for the Stones and they lost their drummer. He auditioned and played the next day at MSG. So the Stones knew him already. He was active with Billy during B&B timeframe. cheers

Thanks Andy, yes different for sure. I am a Stones fan and know what a fan wants to hear. I did think this thru very deeply, and laid it out it a format that flows and that you can absorb the dialogue/video and music. A lot happening at once. thanks for that comment!

thank you! you got the point and get these docs....keep it goin!

that is cool!! we both were!! thanks for comments

Thanks Julian, sounds like a true fan. nice. enjoy these!

cool Craig, thanks for letting me know and sharing your comments. It is great when the RnR'ers get my point here and the Stones details. Glad you enjoyed. Plenty of things we all do not know. Check out my other docs, I am sure you will like them also.

nice one, if this came out today, can you imagine the praise it would get.

Best album I think the Stones ever made. I loved this album. I bought it when it was originally released. Great documentary.

@@lillyboldlyshewhispers7145 Thank you Lilly...appreciated. a gem, Mick is just bone chilling brilliant, and broke the mold. When hearing it back then, it took time like most of their albums do. It knocked us off our feet it was out of the box. hope you watch the other docs.

@@FlipSideCT I certainly shall. Thanks.

@@lillyboldlyshewhispers7145 That’s when I got it too 🥂

Correct, Ronnie is a real cool guy that has such a great attitude and so talented. His paintings are wonderful. I had a chance to see his exhibit. He is a perfect Rolling Stone. Check out my other videos like Goats Head Soup which talks about Jamaica.

thanks TZ, appreciated.....!!

thank you Dan....appreciate your honesty, and glad you are on board with the true meaning of my presentation. It does not matter to me the word "schedule" or "shedule".....I know what is meant...move on! I do admit though, as time went on, I have asked for donations, as I approach the +100 to +150 hours of personal time per project.

cool Chuck, that is great to hear! I realize there are many folks that do not know this timeline, and I love the opportunity to help all of us get a good understanding of it. The up and coming is pretty powerful and amazing of what went on and how and why. I surely learned some myself. TY! cheers

@@FlipSideCT Boy, do I remember reading the critics slag off on this album. As a kid, I bought it with some trepidation. But that year, I think I played out both "Black and Blue" and the Ramones first album...both those albums were pretty much not taken too seriously by a lot of critics.

@@chuckengley9199 Yeah. it was slammed. Critics as we know hated Exile....it was hard not to hear the negative. But real Stones fans knew it took several listens to realize the power it does contain. They expected rocker songs....not this time. Some Girls proved it was always there. Ah the Ramones, dont recall the critics, but can imagine. Just like Iggy and The Dolls. Some folks just get it, some just don't. We know there are albums that are just unlistenable, but someone will like it. I always look at Bowie's Tin Machine. I can not listen to 1 note.

cool Ian, thanks for sharing. From a fan for the fan!! working on PT2 now!!

cool comments Edgar, very nice!! Thank you.....working on Pt2 now....taking time as there is so much. check out the other docs!

Totally Agree with you! What an underrated album! Had the Led Zeppelin done the same album, people would say it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.

@@philipdru9290 If the Stones came out with this album now....2021, it would be the talk of the world.

@@FlipSideCT Lol…true. But, what the hell do 80 year old men sing about? I guess a song about Mick’s Viagra not arriving on time? They could call it Black and Blue Pills.

@@philipdru9290 I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! Try: 'Living In a Ghost Town'. Maybe not 'iconic' in 'The-Stones-catalog' sense. But, better than most others I hear these days. Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

It is great all around, and there is should not be a reason a Stones fan would dislike this album.

hard not to dislike this if you are a true Stones fan!

@@FlipSideCT I appreciate this work you are doing.I've learned how incredibly stout and resilient The Stones were during this period of their history as well and gained further insight on how they grow material for present and future.

Very nice to read this and share. Glad that you can appreciate the work I put into this and who and what is presented. I take plenty of pride doing this to make sure we get the biggest picture we can to understand the greatness they accomplish. They brought out brilliance in Nicky for sure. I would have to believe they did not direct him much. You are in a wonderful area of the country, and I know HMBay and been there. Sounds like a great offer, now I just got find the time. cheers my friend!

another lol, a religion....yes exactly. They give us a serious creative outlet!! you get it!

Yep, great documentary, well done. Just a qq... What happened re Harvey Mandel, or is that in part II?

@@andrewbell7402 if you mean what happened after The Stones, I did not talk about his post work...but he continued on as an active guitarist and still doing it. I do not know much of his post work, but his earlier work is great. I think he lives on West Coast and does every type of event he can make money on, even Weddings. Check out his website.

Thanks JK.....a great one that goes under the radar. appreciate the comments. will take a bit for me to make Part 2....I need a break first.

Perfect Michael, exactly what I wanted....a Stones fan sharing with other Stones fans the way we want to hear and see it. thank you

Thanks Again Michael.....great comment....you totally get why I deliver this video in this method.....this is not a 10-15 subject matter, and need to absorb and listen. thanks for getting it!!

great Jennie, thanks for letting me know. a pleasure! Not many folks know about the details, so I am glad to put it together. Pt2 is work in progress. check out the other docs.

I do believe there are more. But Keith I heard was not always there.

HEy Gorzyxlub great comments and thanks for sharing. Appreciate your being in tune with me and the content. For a Stones Fan, it is a must listen and digging it! Mick's voice is pure brilliant and throw in everything else. We would also jam plenty to Love you Live and feel that power. Hopefully you were eventually introduced to the open tuning....it took us about 5 years when a friend of ours in a touring Stones Cover band turned us on. Will never forget how he got so tired of us picking his brain. Yea, Ronnie was a no brainer and perfect as a Stone. Yes, I will be getting to the album release, my breakdown of the songs the cover shoot and the controversy/billboard etc. But I still can not find out why Hiro chose that location. Thank you again, and hopefully you checked out the other docs. cheers!!

thanks so much Lawrence for letting me, cool. glad you getting something out of it!

a must.!!

nice first album to get, but even better from your father. check out the other albums on my channel. thanks for sharing

I take it you are not a pure Stones fan. Alright then. This doc is meant to enlighten and bring to attention their environment and what they accomplished, which to a STONES HEAD is brilliance.

I LOVE the Stones. My point is that, throughout their career, they have always been exploring various sounds, depending on what was going on at the time. Jagger has always been at the forefront of this exploration.

@@smautomat But you are criticizing their model and style. You say popular or trendy, it sounds like you believe they are a step behind and are followers and not innovators. Every artist had influences from somewhere, and yes there are some that are just reactive. How and what they deliver regardless of their timing is pure brilliance is what is missing from your comments. I guess they should not play any more 3 bar blues if it is trendy.

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille! @Sam I get what your sayin'. But, *that's the beauty of The Stones.* There's room in their catalog for everybody! I started moving to Punk in '76. It meant (temporarily) disavowing some of my old heroes like Zep & Floyd. But, I never dropped The Stones! I also went to discos during that time (to pick up chicks). When 'Hot Stuff' or 'Miss You (extended version)' came on the dance floor; The girls went *CRAZY!* When The Stones did a country song, sometimes there was a little _'tongue-in-cheek'_ aspect to it. But, the songcraft was still there. Anyway, this channel represents the _'broad spectrum'_ of Stones fans. While I may agree with you that '68-'72 was their _'zenith'_ ;IMPO they transcended their ups & downs before *AND* after that period. *They still bring home the bacon every time!* I find it helps if you avoid comparing a given album to their past success. Just compare it to the other albums that particular year. 'Living In A Ghost Town'. Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

Happy Farther's day! nice gift for yourself. Take it you are a Stones head, so you will appreciate it!

Thank you Jay....appreciate that comment!! I am considering Some Girls as it is accessible and great material. cheers

@@FlipSideCT "Some Girls"-so much to get in there with them jamming with Muddy Waters to the Warhol thing. Two albums of hits.. it's really strong material all of them you know is there a better song than Beast of Burden ever ? Far Away Eyes really clever funny lyrics ..really on a roll obviously that one stay in New York . I like about the goat said soup and the B&B selections on your videos. Even major well informed people that may even have hung out with us guys a little bit don't really know some of the s*** you're finding. Some Girls stuff was plastered all over Rolling Stone to Creem Mag to Saturday night Live.ill Studio 54 , Bianca on a horse on the disco floor. You'll find something to surprise us no doubt. PS dl Don't forget Charlie i'm a drummer I know but ...on't forget Charlie

@@toddvanfleet8576 Todd, you are on a roll. thanks. My research and findings are all out there...I have about 30+ books and the internet has some excellent reputable fan sites to gather information. I happen to be real good at organizing and laying out the timeline and project in a matter a fan wants to hear and see it. The trick is to look for content that is not familiar. I still got to focus on B&B.....there is a lot of content here. cheers

nice GK K.....thank you! Yes, the Stones had their flow and model in the studio. Some lyrics written outside and some at the moment. ...and the constant jamming to find a new groove. enjoy pt 2....Pt3 not yet started.....still recovering and need downtime. cheers

you get it Randy, nice! It is not Exile....not filled with crunchy guitars, but some wonderful work from the greatest RnR band.

Thank you HB, yes his role needs to be highlighted and brought up front. However, some of his own solo work was not so earth shattering after.

Thank you JB!! glad you got it! Hanging out with Wayne and MShoals??? damn cool. You should share some stories! Get it documented! I have been watching Bobby Whitlock and Coco Channel YT channel, and Bobby is sharing so many stories with the fans. It is so great to keep it alive! cheers steve

Yes, definitely some good stories. Wayne lived around the corner from me for about a year in Florence. I played bass and am a huge Stones fan. I was about 21 years old. Wayne only had three pieces of furniture - a chair, couch and coffee table with a platinum black and blue album on the wall he was awarded from the stones. We played together a bit and he was looking for the next big gig. He got a call from Joe Walsh and took off for Memphis, if I remember correctly, and I've never had occasion to see him again. He was/is a lovely personality.

@@jonathanbaggs4275 What an opportunity and memory. That is cool, and great of he to allow you in his inner circle. I will show that picture of him holding the Gold B&B album the Stones gave him when he was diagnosed.

Hey Drew, you should turn on notifications, so you will be informed of when I upload. Glad you got to see it !! cheers steve

thank you Pete. cool you have this as a fav. a true Stones fan. I have thought about the Love You Live time period and Mocambo 77, it was all pre Some girls and more about their lives then sessions. Considering to help feel in the pieces. There is one story I will tell in B&B that ties in to that time period , you will know it when you hear it. thanks Steve

Mick: "Ronnie Wood's gay!" Ron: "And ol' 'bums-rush' Jagger 'ere." (pause) Mick: "Keith, of course, is completely straight!" - Dave B.

@@jellobiafra2810 El Mocambo 77'!

nice to hear you appreciated it. Not many know about him and still his work goes under the radar, along with the great Harvey Mandell. I hope many others appreciate it also. cheers thanks

Hi Rob, glad you picked up on all, and not surprised. I do have a great book on the gear the Stones used for each session, and tour so that is easy to get. That was interesting to hear Keith say that about Mick Taylor's wife Rose.....she was hanging out with them a lot prior. There are session outtakes as I showed......but not much with the others. Thanks again for all!! steve

appreciate you watching and commenting, thank you! glad you enjoy this RnR detail as a fan!

Hi Dave, thank you for your kind comments, and lesson. This was perfect. You explained yourself of enjoying my work efforts first and put me at ease that you were not just attacking me, like others, that was all they did. My focus is content, and aware of mis-pronunciations. your lesson was appreciated. Truthfully, my head for maintaining and learning languages was not my forte. If I got paid for my efforts, I would do that research 100%....I rather put the time into the content. but again, enjoyed your teaching. BUT...I do believe NOW I will remember SHEER over SHIRE, then again it all depends who I talk to. It was apparent that you understood my content, delivery and tactics to get my points across. This was all thought out, and you understood that. TY. There is a purpose of why I talk slowly at times, and you understood why. There is so much content, visual pictures and music playing, I have to give the audience's brain time to absorb and to be able to walk away with knowledge. Again, you got that point! We had our boring university professors and know how painful a lecture can be. It is funny to me how some viewers (small percentage) could not stand my delivery. That was very humorous. hope you had a nice train ride, and glad I was able to make it easier. cheers my friend! steve

utter brilliance and how a STONES head should respond!

He really was an integral part of the Stones

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! Watts was difficult to appreciate at first glance. But, Wyman: *Even more so!* Especially live. No facial expressions. No body movement (except the fingers). But, every true Stones fan knows: *"The Ears Don't Lie!"* The *PERFECT* bottom to The Stones unique _'drone'!_ Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

That truly is crazy yes!?

Thanks for sharing! It is all about the turn on, nice!! This album is "sic" great! I can not call someone a Stones fan if they can see this album as pure brilliance.

thanks for commenting Nik, appreciated you letting me know. Enjoy!!

Yes RM, mostly negative......as we know Exile was also bashed. Stones albums at times can take 2-5 listens for the fans. We say screw the critics.....it is us the fans that say what is good. Mick is pure brilliant here again, as always.

Yes, and remember Goat Heads Soup? Man, it was poorly received as well..and now it gets the deluxe, classic treatment. Mind you, those promo clips didn't help lol!

@@radiomindchatter7994 lol, for the video, non Stones fans doing non Rock and Roll work. posers. at least IORR is worth it for the humor.

You have some interesting comments Dennis. I totally understand what you mean, but for me I think the forced sound is more in in the 90's and up. Mick's vocals sound so contrived and the lyrics are sub par mostly. I do not hear this in the 70's. But we do know there was changes going on and the consistency was not there. I am glad they change it up and have different sounds. Can not argue with Beggars. Keep in mind, they were Exile was a real family feel, they ALL hung out and lived together, it carried over into the music.

@@FlipSideCT A absolutely agree with you - by the 90's it was really all over. Having said that, my then wife and I went to see them live in the States in about 1998 and they were fantastic. I was astounded how Mick was able to effectively run a marathon on stage (dude is *fit*!), and that Keef... was able to stand up (joke!). One thing that we haven't addressed, which is quite a part of their sound, is the band's *attitude*. There's a sort of undefinable, slouchy F.U. to their demeanor which defined them up until the late 70s (or even up to the 90's as you point out). It's almost punk in it's virtual middle-finger to authority; indeed, if you listen to the Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out version of Street Fighting Man the guitar goes straight into a fast punk chop rhythm (and yes, I know they pretty much redid the whole album in the studio lol). Having said all of that, the Stones have done much work individually and together that is quite good - jamming with blues legends, etc. But you're right, their album output just ain't there.

@@denniseldridge2936 got your comments....!! Mick is always ready for his alter ego to kick in for the live performing. I have been listening to these LIVE series they have been coming out with (Vault Archives etc), and listening and focusing on the guitars, and they are real sweet. What has changed is Chuck Levell is running the show, and there is just to much sound going on. That is the difference with 70's and 90's. The extra musicians and background singers are just to much. we need the basics. thanks for all!!

@@denniseldridge2936 Their best Punk moment: *'She Said Yeah'!* - Dave B.

very cool, thanks for hanging in and being in sync with me. thanks for sharing. enjoy the others!!

@CI - 1 I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! *It's so cool seeing your excitement finding this channel!* I was right there a few short months ago when I first found it. I've been around YT a long time. (sure you have as well) @FlipSideCT is an exceptional find! I humbly recommend starting your journey with his 'Let It Bleed' project (1-2-3). Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

@@jellobiafra2810right back atchya on the well wishes and thanks for the tip. I will do that. I actually had that series on my 'to watch' list so I'll bump it up to 1st. 👍✌🤙🖖

If they would make this album now, we would ALL be blown away! Watch Some Girls Doc....Keith drifted a bit, and still had relapse

@@reverendayglow I can not go on with trying to explain my feelings and thoughts on The Stones, other then what and why from what I mention and why I made these. The key words here are "you "I". I really do not think you will get me or my points or others that see what I see. So no need to explain any more. Let me leave it with this, I really can not ever relate or appreciate BE BOP JAZZ or THRASH METAL, but I have no issue with others loving it and thinking how great it is. Who am I to say they are wrong!

@@FlipSideCT Absolutely, I think there is no such thing as a bad genre (although I am challenged, i.e. put off, by all this boy band pablum. But there sure is a lot of bad music out there. The Stones, in my view are the band with not just an extremely impressive catelogue and history. They are the best, greatest rock band ever. And they have continued to put out really pretty good albums. They have meant a lot to me through the years. I really, really liked them a lot when I was still in The States (Missouri). I was a sophmore in high school the year Tattoo You came out and I listened to it a lot. I thought Keith Richards looked like a pretty rough customer and mistakenly believed that Jagger wrote almost everything. I backtracked into Emotional Rescue and later Some Girls (which didn't really hook me until many years later. At the same time learned about the earlier Brian Jones years. I traded a hit of acid to a friend for my first ever cd (Satanic Magesties Request) though I had nothing to play it on. I bought a box set of 13 album for $60.00 took them home to my bedroom lit some candled, took some No-Doz and stayed up all night drinking Pepperminy Schnapps and shots of vodka. FINALLY in the small hours, Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed. It was the same feeling I had after having heard The White Album for the first time. I knew I had just heard two works that had in the space of an hour-and-a-half, CHANGED EVERYTHING FOREVER. But I also disoverered a lot of other great music during this time. Fast forward twelve years. I came to Japan in '97 and sort of got caught up in Japanese pop and alternative Indies stuff for a few years. I turned back to Western music after that though. I picked up a copy of Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed at a used cd shop and took them back to my apartment to listen to them. I was stunned at how "literally great" they are. I knew Sticky Fingers was great but I began listening to that one again. The revelation was Exile. I had owned it in The States and knew most of the history behind it, but my copy had been kinda worn out and I tended to listen through speakers. Now I was hearing LOSSLESS versions on $650 headphones (thanks to the ol' university research fund) and it was like hearing it for the first time again--straight from Rock Off. I could actually hear deep into the rooms where it was created. It was then that I first realized it: I am fanatically devoted to this band. I had started playing guitar again and for the first time vocalizing while playing: first folk music stuff like ru-vid.com/group/PL7C3782E79A72A01E from The Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music [and I was privileged to spend an afternoon with Harry in his apartment in 1987 when Ginsberg mercifully got him a "lectureship" position at the Nuropa Institute. Harry was in bad shape and not making much sense by that time.] Later, talkin around 2008 or so in Japan, I began playing more classic country-blues and 1970s outlaw country. I worked up the nerve to start playing out at some of the British pubs. But to bring it back to the point, it was The Rolling Stones who gave me the confidence to go out to play country-blues at a British pub. I felt that if anyone heckled me for the shit music I was playing, well, if it was good enough to inspire The Stones, it is good enough for anyone. I thought I might get a hard time but no one was ever anything but really nice and the next thing I knew I was asked to emcee the open mic at one of those places [The King Georges in Omiya City, Saitama] which I have continued doing off and on--mostly off the last two year on account of you know what. I really owe a lot to that band. ru-vid.com/group/PLicJ2LDIqnyFyTVIKRN6ZdUeGK9tsqCWz But Mr. FlipsideCT, you wrote that you think I won't get what or why you have done the videos. I think I most certainly will. Let's be honest though. Half of Black and Blue (and parts of It's Only Rock and Roll are just objectively inferior to what came before and after. ROCK SOLID ALBUMS. But that's not the point of the videos is it. SOMETIMES it is when a band is faltering that they are at their most interesting, historically. WHY are they faltering. What sturm und drang are they undergoing? We don't have to fall into the sycophancy of some commentors to show our love for this band. We can love them warts and frailty and all. That's what I'm expecting to see from your video series.

sorry Tyler, just saw this, thank you for that comment(s) appreciated.....glad you enjoyed these!!!

A lot of songs tie in and mix.....part of how they would let things flow. Slave was from 75, ETTGold was from 77' sessions.

@SeaLisa I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! *Bob Tench!* *Yes!* I'm a HUGE fan of *'Rough & Ready'!* I dug the 'Orange Album' as well. That lineup, with Bobby just singing, was one of my all-time favs! There was a ridiculous amount of historic albums made in 1970-71! I hold *'R&R'* right up there with: - 'Sticky Fingers' - '(untitled)Led Zep(4)' - 'Who's Next' - 'Layla' - 'L.A. Woman' - 'Abraxas' - & a few others. Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

thank you SeaLisa. glad you commented! enjoy these!!

@@jellobiafra2810 Rough and Ready is my FAVORITE album of 1971. There was a lot of competition that year, but this album literally changed my life. Oddly enough, JB was unsatisfied with the final released product - so I've read. If one listens carefully there are so many sounds of the future ushered in on this release. Ciao.

@@FlipSideCT P.S. You are correct - Jeff would not have been a good match for the RS. He has said that many times - temperamentally he is a perfectionist, stylistically he undertook a singular musical journey beyond R&R band. Thank you for posting these details of great music. My generation!

In the ears of the beholder. You don't get it, that is fine. We Stones lovers believe Mick is brilliant in HOT STUFF/ guitar work, if this came out now, it would be off the roof. oh well.

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! @johnnyd63. *You mean IYPO, right?* Cuz I'm sure you saw most of the comments here are pretty favorable. Not my fav Stones LP either. But, it always had a strange appeal.The guitar grooves & the vocals. *That's just IMPO, right?* - Dave B.

Hi Bill, I am hoping I took your comment correctly, that you enjoyed these. If so, thank you! Hopefully you checked out Goats Head and IORR.

@@FlipSideCT Correct...enjoyed, and much appreciated.

LOL, makes me laugh. Keith you just sometimes never know. I heard Ronnie talk about the Mick Taylor quitting in an older interview.....had to do with sitting in a car.....and I thought it was odd, as I did more investigation from Ronnie's book it was a different story. So even they mix it up. Bill was always focused (except on stage looking at the girls, but then he was focused on them instead of the song) and the true archivist. thank you kind words!

@@FlipSideCT to me 1981 tour was the last real stones concert, 1989 and on they became a corporate Vegas act..just me thinking

@@TheRollingStoness yes, it morphed to a hits package and insanely ticket prices. I have not seen them since 98', and no desire anymore, unless a small venue opportunity.

@@FlipSideCT Yea, "mix it up" is right. Alice Cooper was on a 'Ronnie Wood Podcast'. They were talking about a mutual relation (musically). The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - 'Fire' ("I am the God of...") Alice: "I consider him an influence. And you played bass on that song." Ronnie: "Yes, I did!" No he didn't. He was working as a session bass player/rehearsed with Arthur/but was left off the final cut. In a very short time: The story was de-bunked & that portion of the Alice interview disappeared! I think Ronnie honestly thought he was on that record ALL THOSE YEARS! But, the 'podcast-fact checkers' set him straight. An honest mistake. But, a really l-o-o-n-ng one! LoL~° - Dave B.

@@jellobiafra2810 thanks for sharing....there is a lot of BS that is getting exposed.

Fantastic comment, and makes me smile, thank you!! makes it all worth it!

all true....puts us in a good mood! thanks

appreciated Joel....thank you. There are so many folks with more knowledge, it is a Stones family and we need to share! check out PT2...cheers

oh the pressure.....everyone has their thoughts. A Stones Head will always love it thru and thru!

@@FlipSideCT I love 'Thru & Thru'!!!😛

@John Ryan I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! I place 'B&B' in The Stones Fan's *'Phoenix-from-the-ashes'* category. Let's be honest. Long-time fans were _'scratchin' heads'_ when 'Exile...' came out. As time went by, it presented its true brilliance! We were _'scratchin'-our-heads'_ on 'B&B', too. Not as iconic as 'Exile..' But, it DID present itself as an oddly great entry as time went on. *That heavy groove & great vocals!* I'm not a fan of ballads. But, when I hear 'You Can't Always...'/'Wild Horses'/'Angie'; I think: 'exception-to-the-rule'. Two of the best songs on this album are ballads. And I (eventually) dug them! I really like 'Crazy Mama'. But (as you said) IMO. I've been there since BEFORE they were considered #2 to The Beatles. I find myself drawn back to this LP more than some of their other records I would normally call: _"Better"._ And I don't know why. Hey, U quoted Lester Bangs! So, you *MUST* be cool. _LoL~°_ Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

cool DC....yes, many information pieces of B&B but so spread out. Took time to gather who actually auditioned and figure out who was. There might have been more. I learned also. Thank you for the comments!! cheers steve

Well said ; I don't get people who dislike the Stones (granted I've met precious few dissenters...). Any number of their albums are cornerstones (pardon the pun...) of rock'n'roll. We still read Shakespeare 500 years later and the Stones - in time - will have the same impact on culture.

I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! Sometimes 'dislikes' are just 'fat-finger' goofs. Who knows? (& might I suggest) Who cares? Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

great to hear this Erik....it was made for your someone like you that could appreciate it and see why I did make it! working on Pt3.

thanks James! appreciate your comments and support. For sure this is for a RnR Stones fan. I know Toronto rocks, and know a few there. Of course there is mention in my PT3 of it. check out the other docs.

thank you so much, sorry just seeing this now. I wanted to fill in the gaps and timeline.

spoken like a cool RnR'er......we know what they are and what they give us ALL....pure gems! check out the other docs.

@@FlipSideCT I have. love your docs!

thanks Animal 57 for kicking in here...well appreciated! All for the Turn On's, as you know. We love sharing!! It is about making others happy, is our goal! YT has a Hide User, but only to block them from commenting. I wished YT had a BLOCK User from watching any of my videos. For all that friggin time I put in, I do not want to give them 1 second of my efforts. I am trying to push these trolls aside, and not get tangled in their nasty web. thanks for the advice. need more Stones from you!! cheers!!

@@FlipSideCT Yeah...I hear you re the full on block option. I take no prisoners once somebody starts commenting crap on my channel & more than once I have wished to be able to do that...My Stones uploads have had to be put aside unfortunately. Some do-gooder from the universal music group complained about one of my compilations being on YT & had them pull it down & had me hit with a copyright strike. As you'd be aware 3 strikes & you lose your channel so I flicked all my other RS compilations to private & now nobody else gets to see them. Of all the hundreds of Stones videos that are uploaded to YT for some reason they picked out one of mine...🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@Animal 57 @FlipsideCT I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! You guys bring up some interesting issues. *re:'dislikes':* I believe at least some of them are simply _'fat-finger-mistakes'._ I've been guilty of that myself. While I usually catch them (& correct); There have been times when I only found them during a _'re-visit'._ Maybe just assume they're ALL mistakes & move on? I dunno. *re:copyright content:* As this relates to The Stones; They've allowed us access to SO MUCH it's hard to get _'p.o.'d'_ at them for protecting certain things. Remember, at a time when pirating first emerged (Napster); Rock stars took a big hit for coming out publicly against it! (Think: Lars Ulrich.) The Rolling Stones (the original _'money-hounds'_ ) were conspicuously silent. Their indiv. worth was approaching 1/4 bill at that time. *AND,* their _'free'_ stuff increased at that very same time! These guys know when _'lookin'-cool'_ outweighs cash. But, guys like you still have to tread carefully. *IMPO:* The single BEST thing Jagger ever did on the small screen is: SNL-1994: 'Don't Tear Me Up'. He (& his band & backup singers) was in a very special place for that performance! It will make a Stones fan _'choke up'!_ Make ya forget yer religion! _LoL~°_ But, it can't be found anymore (which confirms my belief it was *Iconic!* ) It probably became part of a _'Jagger box set'_ or something. All you can find is the (pre-show) rehearsal version. If you guys found it (& showed it.) I would enjoy it. But, you would probably get in trouble. Just sayin': They're rich & they protect certain things. But, they throw us more bones than anybody else! Peace. Stay Healthy! - Dave B.

that is a sweet one to hear, nice. thanks for sharing!

a great introduction, and probably took time to wrap your head around it. it is brilliant, and one that should be appreciated by all. thanks for sharing. Can NEVER tire of it

Thank you Cindy!! I really enjoyed and was glad to get some FACES to mix in the story line, as it was a huge part of Keith and Ronnie. Pt2 is WIP, thanks !! cheers all the best, steve

Thank you. This album needs to be played loud or with headphones. That is one reason why folks may not hear the beauty. Mick is so on top of his game, there is no other. Yes, there were some amazing ones, and all we need now is to hear those tapes.

That solo Wayne Perkins lay's down on Hands of Fate is so syrupy and sweet I lick it up every time I hear it.
