The older i get the better the Stones get. The older the Stines get. The better I get Win Win Thanks man....again Looking forward to Exile as I'm being exiled
thanks for the comments CH...appreciated you commenting. We know how great this album is and flawless....yw and glad you enjoyed this...check out the other docs if you have not.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work in compiling this documentary! I am 64 years old and loving every minute of this! Sadly, I was raised in a religious home where rock was considered the devils work, so I am a late bloomer in exploring the music of the Stones! I LOVE it and spend hours every evening finding all of their old videos and concert footage. Finding you and your documentaries is the icing on the cake for me. I will be watching them all! I will send you a donation as soon as I can as this is well worth it! Thank you again!
HI Nancilee, a real pleasure to see your comments. Interesting to hear ofyour younger restrictions experience. I am so glad you can find these giving you more insight. As I mention it is from a fan for the fan. I take great pride in making these and also glad when a fan can click with me on what I am delivering. Enjoy the rest, and thank you for your support. When you get to The Making of Exile, Part 2 is available for the donators only for now. So if you choose to donate, please make sure you supply me your RU-vid email address so I add it to my PRIVATE viewing list. enjoy all!!! thanks!!!!
Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers are the zenith of The Rolling Stones musically and lyrically. This narration style makes me feel like I'm standing in line in a NYC deli waiting for a patrami on rye.
they had a much longer run then that. sounds like you had a painful experience watching this based on your comment. I would say, no need to watch any others. that would be the best thing for all of us.
@@FlipSideCT I truly meant it man! Thé very original way you are exposing your doc is belonging 2 u, and 2 u only… I am planning to see du ring this current weekend thé one you did for some girls, which is for me thé very last masterpiece of this band we All love…
Camped down the night before, near the stage, at Hyde Park. Woke up in the morning surrounded by people. Everywhere you could see people. Up the trees, in the Serpentine. Part of breakfast was a tiny pill associated with Lucy ;) . The opening band was The Third Ear Band. Very avante garde. Ragas played on oboes and Cellos. They really could awaken ears. Stones came in by armoured car. Jagger in the white dress. The Shelley, the white butterflies in cardboard boxes. Then....they called them "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world". I was not a particular fan before, liked their records, no more. My mind was changed. What masterpieces of creativity. For me, Midnight Rambler. When in the middle of the song, the tempo is masterfully and gradually slowed down. Jagger sitting on the stage: Jagger taking his belt off and playfully "whipping" his audiences reaching hands. Then again, the belt and the rhythm accelerates, the tempo regained and the big outro. I still think this is the Stones "Day in a life".
what a great notch on the belt you have. A memory of a lifetime. thanks for sharing that. I forgot what band's that armored car was, but it was borrowed. Every beat and note on this album is flawless.
This 3-part documentary series represents an outstanding work of musical scholarship that should rank among the best and most informative documentaries on the Stones ever produced. It chronicles the creation of their 1969 album, Let It Bleed, exploring its uniqueness in the Stones' catalog, along with the vibrancy and artistry of the band at a transformative moment in their musical evolution, and as a cultural force and phenomenon. To my knowledge, no one has ever delved as deeply into the band's (or any band's) musical mojo-examining the group's inner-workings, song genesis, thematic, musical, and lyrical structure, music equipment and alternate guitar tunings used, recording technology and technique, musical influences and more, all the while honoring the many players and outright characters who contributed to the creation of this master work of recorded music. You've never seen a music documentary like this before. It is a fascinating stand-out work.
Thought I replied already.......but see I did not. Thank you TBAOC!! so well appreciated, your comments! Very cool you get my point, the delivery and sync with it all! This how I want to see a doc and representing something that I do NOT KNOW! Hopefully you checked out some prior others. best, steve
@@FlipSideCT Steve, new subscriber here and am making the rounds to your other videos. Real quick or maybe not, a cool experience to share this week was taking your suggestion in this series to revisit Ya-Ya's. (That you started the LIB series with Ya-Ya footage of Charlie and isolated drum tracks for Gimme Shelter told me I was in for something special.) Never disliked Ya'Ya's, but was always kinda perplexed by the mix- it's so fucking stark-especially next to the lushness of Let It Bleed and less the horn parts of later tours. Glyn Johns is the fucking man, don't get me wrong, but dare I say, I took this mix up Several notches by doubling, nearly tripling Wyman's presence. It's so heavy. It's so fat, so funky (especially on Sympathy, LWM, and the Chuck tunes) and because Bill is a real bass player and works in his register, there's no clash with any of the other players or the singer. It almost fills in like an organ part. Wyman is the fucking glue, mang, or at least a MUCH bigger part of the glue than the man has ever got his due for. Hey, drink a few beers, smoke a few joints-I highly recommend this experience. -The Best back at ya and everyone, Rob
@@thebluesandothercolors6602 Well said Rob.....bravo!!! I am standing! I am trying to find the TOP YA YA's album to get....and crank it!! Bill......would love to have tea with that guy. His books and docs are great. He has a new doc out called The Quiet One which is high on my list. I would love to know what Charlie says of Bill being gone! I am always buzzing with The Stones!! steve
I feel like if you had access to all of the Stones official archives you could make probably the Gold standard of musical documentaries. You do good work sir!
thank you Chris, you read my mind. Hoping maybe one day I get tapped on the shoulder that I can be allowed to view special archives and deliver something that can be for us FANS. I would believe Bill W would be the one. cheers
Just finished pt.one. Can't wait to watch the rest. These are the greatest documentary I have seen. Every music fan should experience the artistic beauty of the Stones experience. Nice job. All respect
Just discovered your channel this past week. I only have one word to say about what I've heard so far: AWESOME!!!! As for the Stones: Simply the Greatest!
nice to hear that MC.....glad you found it and are clicking with me on these. I feel they deliver some high value for the fan, as it is made by a fan. hopefully you check out more of the others vids I have. thanks for commenting!
Fascinating detail from great research. Thanks so much 👌 (This is the first Stones album that made my hair stand on end aged only about 8 . My eldest brother had it !! )
thank you Peter for commenting and letting me know!! glad you liked this! wow 8 years old....I was 8 also, but not near to hearing this at that time! nice
perfection, like they all were! I been listening to Ronnie' 75' versions in Buffalo and LA, and it is utterly brilliant also! Black and Blue is work in progress now.... sorry so late with this just saw it now.
ahhhhh thank you Alex, a RnR'er. That is what this channel is for. I am sharing a lot of vinyl records that I buy and explain. Then I have my docs on some artists. Thanks for clicking in here and commenting! appreciated, and hopefully you will check out the other vids. cheers
cool PjR.....I am glad you get my message here....especially being an artist. A lot of planning and digging. Got fed up with the BS out there. Thanks for the turn on for Royal Trux....from DC....I liked the later works....not for the wife, but I get it, cool stuff and love to see this still going! Reminded a bit of Dead Moon from Portland. cheers
Great upload, thank you. You did a great job with the research & editing, and your sound design editing displays a very real talent and I’m looking forward to your other works.
Thanks a lot. I was a adolescent, a young teenager in the 1960's and could not quite understand what was going on and who was who. You exposés about other artists are quite instructive to me. It straightens out confusions i my mind that had been lurking there for ages. It took until 1972 until I had grown up enough to understand that something had happened in the decade before but the context and impact was not as clearcut as it is today. You won't believe it, but until 20 years ago, I had not known what had happened at Altamont concert in 1969 and its impact. Except for Sargeant Pepper I detested the Beatles, and still do, and I revered Bob Dylan and The Stones. That did not go down well in my environment.
Hi QDG, thanks for your comments and sharing. I also had plenty of confusion on the Stones timeline. Doing this helped me for sure also. Very hard for casual fans to understand what they went thru and why they are the best. There is still very deep perspectives and stories of Altamont. I could have done much more...... cheers steve
in 1968 made a promise to my 18 yr. old self - not to settle down and stop my bad habits until the Stones broke up since i couldn't party the same way without their music. it was like a first love. now i'm 72. the bad habits are (long) gone but a Stones song still makes me get up dance and strut...even in supermarkets. i hope they retire now without Charlie. it's just the Mick and Keith show.
Hey KEvin, a lot of folks with you. We all know what we were doing when the albums came out and we can still feel all the emotions. The power of The Stones, they just make us smile and feel good, and keep that BAD BOY in us all. thanks for sharing! With no Charlie or Bill, it is not the full throttle. We will see how a new albums will sound! let's just see!
Glad you enjoyed it DP.....I watched a few times also as a fan! glad you were in sync with it!! Black and Blue is work in progress.... sorry so late with this just saw it now.
Just watched all three segments in a row..... tremendous effort and passion, nice mixing of the creative process, inter band politics, business dealings, technical gear discussions, linking to other historical moments.....truly great work. Thanks for a very enjoyable and informative series, really appreciate all the work and care that went into this!
JK, truly appreciate you commenting and kind words. TY for understanding my approach and all my prep. Have to make the docs, as no one is really getting what we Stones and music heads need to see. check out the other vids I made, hopefully you get the same from them cheers. steve
Hi Steve, I am impressed with your dedication, how deep you are going man !!! For me it s better than any one Stones documentary. Can t wait for part two. Cheers and 👍👍👍
IR, thank you for the comments and watching. Yes, Stones is a passion, but I got tired of watching some reviews that became so repetitive and not deep! I just needed to change that and do it right! Cheers!!
Great detailed dissection of one of the most iconic albums of all time. Thanks for the "Quadrophenia" demos' recommendation from the Leavitt Theater. Keep up the great work.
Well Done!! Thank you very much for all of your hard work, as much as I'm sure that this was a labor of love there must have been many tiresome moments in the production of this series, once again thankyou, and WELL DONE!!!!!!!! Best Wishes from Rhode Island.
Since I've followed your channel around dec, I started a collection and now have 70 albums, 3 tt, four receiver. And just got my own original press of this wonderful albulm. My favorite actually. And altho I won't use headphones first, it will be thru vintage speakers, and LOUD. anyone who complains about the stones music isn't good ppl
way to go Kody.....it is fun to collect them, and then play them to get a smile! Sounds like you are on your way to get a collection. Hopefully you get to some Record shows.
Having been an avid Stones Fan for many yrs....decades, I must say I enjoyed this very much, and your dedication to making this cool documentary is impressive, I have to go to bed soon ,but will watch them all later....I play guitar, and I discovered the open tunings from Keith's riffs, I have the Hal & Lenard tabs for Let it Bleed,Sticky Fingers, And my favorite Exile On Main Street, but I learned the slide guitar on " No Expectations " and felt pretty cool...but thx again for posting this Sir
Thank you RH....well appreciated! hope you watch my others. Open Tunings are just fantastic and make you sound even better! That was Brian on the slide on NExp. cheers steve
Hey Jimmy, there is way too much out there as professional docs for Exile........I do not believe I can provide any NEW details. It would be lower on my list if anything because of that. However, I do have the 72' STP tour as a possible doc. thanks for your support.
Hello Steve, my Stonesian brother. As January roles on, YT has been dry. You timed this perfectly. Real attention and passion put to the Stones is a breath of fresh air. Look forward to this entire doc. You capture and discuss their magic perfectly. Enjoyed every second. Cheers, Jeff
Bro Jeff! we enjoy together. Yes YT has been VC dry....aside from some typical folks doing what they do. The research with passion is the real fun part, putting into a comprehensive format is a challenge though. thanks for the kind words....trying to 'teach' others how and why and to get to understand the magic is my goal and challenge. I keep saying this, just so surprised on how few VC'ers there are at the level we are at. There is a non VC group called 'ShooDooBees' that are so ahead of us, they attend almost every show. I listened to them interviewed recently. Talk about gung ho! I can not even afford one show, never mind a TOUR. cheers, more in development now. Steve
@@FlipSideCT are you referring to Stonesdoug shidoobees? Met him once at a show. Doug Potash? I frequented the page from time to time, but mostly stuck with Rock Off.
This is an amazing work.Thank you so much for creating this spectacular exploration and experience of this magic time. All of your hard work is evident as well as the care, love and respect you have for music. This is the best music film I have ever seen. I cannot recall any other film that ties together all of the influencing threads as well as you have done here. By connecting the musical and personal events in their lives through this time you have gracefully given us a unique insight into one of the most important true masterpieces of pop culture. I really appreciate the way that you set the time range and explained everything in such precise detail. Most other music films try to cover an entire career in one sitting and end up glossing over the details that make up the true picture. I was truly sad when it was over. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Please make more.
thank you so much Jesse, great comment, as you see you understood everything of how and why I made this. You got it. perfect. Unlike some others I heard who just are out of sync. If anyone is a Stones Head, have got to appreciate the content delivered by a Fan for the fans. hope you check out the other docs. cheers
cool LK, nice comments. I wished I could do more, but 3.5 hours was a lot. Some folks do not have the patience or attention span......but you did nice! cheers. check out the Goats Head Soup doc and Black and Blue is work in progress.
@@FlipSideCT Oooh it’s a moving piece of work. Some days I say it is the very best music of the Stones. Great album - timeless. In 2021 I still can’t really get past it. Hardly a week goes by without me playing at least one track on my buds. Interestingly, Slash says exactly the same. He’s states that, even now, he only ever plays Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile. ✌️
@@Swimkid1 Yes, I stop and listen when I hear a tune played. Yes, heard this about Slash, but do not forget, Slash's 70's predecessor's used the Stones model and their RnR spirit.
(carbon-copy comment) I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)! I usually comment in these (YT) Stones sites. But, here I'll just say: "GREAT JOB!" I will 'like' & 'subscribe' immediately! - Dave B.
Ive recently found your page, and watching all the videos in random order as time allows. I could comment on all of them, but I will mercifully spare you and just leave a generic one here. Ive followed the Stones since the 60's, a voracious consumer of anything Stones related. In a pre-internet world, information was not as forthcoming as it is now. When speaking of the Stones, one needs to mention the times to give the watcher a feel for what was going on in that era. Younger people may find it boring, but it is necessary to put the content into context. I have found no way to verbally express the 'feel' of the 60's. One had to live it to fully understand it. In the USA, the Vietnam war raged in the background, Nixon, the riots, the assassinations, it was a tumultuous time ... Conversely, it was a renaissance of creativity and freedom of spirit. The air was electric! It's as if a cosmic vortex opened up and mixed all of these things together and magically disseminated it into the oxygen we breathed. As horrible as the world affairs were, there was a universal reawakening of souls as young people disavowed the uptight conservatism 50s and sought ways to radically distance themselves from any entity that might try to keep them there. Batman partaking of "Aftergrass" and the random old lady in Woolworth's who admonished the adolescent me to "put that back, they are ANIMALS!" as I gazed upon the newly released, and strangely octagonal shaped, Through the Past, Darkly, were typical. Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, and Sticky Fingers, leading up to Exile on Main Street are absolutely, other-worldly time capsules that perfectly reflect the times they were created in. Like a computer program might be today, they were a compact and concise compilation of all the zeitgeist of that era. An aural Cliff Notes version of everything that was going on. The good, bad and ugly. When I listen to them, I am taken back. They are the closest thing to the Wayback Machine there could ever be. Virtual reality before it was. You need to listen to them in order to understand what Exile was. The denouement of that turbulent era. Whatever glowing embers of the 60s that still remained were extinguished. The party is over. This is it ... Goats Head was the candle being blown out and the lights shut off. That quiet cup of coffee on the Sunday morning after the wildest and most eventful vacation of your entire life. A quite moment before going back to the mundane and prole toilage of Monday morning. You do a great job of instilling that feeling in me, anyway ... I hope younger readers may appreciate what you are doing.
Thank you LWM for your generous contribution to The Stones and the times. well said. It is a challenge to be able to inject the exact feelings that The Stones had on their plate throughout the years during their recordings. I did feel I delivered the best I can to help bring that to back to life and it seems as though many viewers felt the same. My channel is dedicated to the "the turn on" and getting folks exposed to an area other then mainstream. There are many that take the ride with me, but I would really hope there were much more. I do see just a handful of young ones at record stores and shows, but not enough to carry any torch, which is, as you pointed out a "hope" the word can spread, and not just with my channel. thanks for your input! cheers
I've subscribed. I've seen a few of your Stones doco's now and they are always on the money. I hope that you can get the channel to grow because I am a fan of your work and talent deserves to be rewarded. 👍 I'll take a look at your Lou Reed stuff later. Can't wait to see what you've got to put out on that one.
thanks Dan. glad to have delivered it. Glad you are seeing my channels offerings!! Lou vid is great, and check out my archive vid and live albums vid on him.
Amazing research/knowledge! Great narration as well. Images I’ve never seen(and I grew up in the 60’s). Saw Nicky play in Jeff Beck Group-Rod Stewart, Ron Wood, Jeff, Mickey Waller.🎶
Thank you Bruce, glad we clicked! Hopefully you check out others I did and more to come. Very cool to have seen the JBGroup, I do not recall anyone saying that.. nice!!
Hey Steve, thank you very much for your fantastic brilliant work. I mean all your reviews about Stones records are great and worth to be paid, but you made this for free and I love it to the core. I hope to see more Stones reviews maybe about Some Girls or whatever you like in the future. Take care of yourself and stay well. Greets from Hamburg, Germany.
thank you OmHit....greets from CT US! appreciate you letting me know. I love doing this....and so glad folks like yourself are enjoying it! I started working on Some Girls, but realized so much happened in 77' and working on that first along with some Love You Live!! cheers check out the other docs I have!!
Thanks for making this.I enjoy the discussion and the corrections.The Beatles get a lot of this,it's interesting to get more sides of the Stones centered around certain albums.In the end,the music is what makes the details worth hearing.
Thank You IM......well appreciated comments. Yes, I see how many Beatles fans are out there, and had to make sure the STONES are not forgotten and get folks more info on their great RnR. cheers steve
I didn't know much about Jack N. Taj Mahal's first album is excellent. I love your narrative stories about the Stones. Thanks for putting these videos out.
I always knew of him, but did not know he did not about all those soundtracks. So you can put together a tight and creative band, but it is the internal staff for the studio that brings it to another level. Yes, that first Taj, but also the next 2 are fantastic. There is a great story Gregg Allman tells about how when Duane was healing from a broken hand, he gave him Taj's first album that just came out......and that is where he learned how to play slide (hence...Statesboro Blues). Thank you....for the comments! steve
@ Steve Flip Side CT Been a long time since sending you a message Steve! Greg, here!!!!! I feel that this is one of the most important documentaries on THE STONES ....ON OUR STONES you have ever made! I love this one I love it A-LOT !!!!! I LOVE IT ALOT!!!!! This is when the Stones really became the Stones!!!! This was the year 1969 when it all came together!!!! 67 68 69 and the making of LET IT BLEED and the live US come back tour and recording for Sticky Fingers down in Alabama and ending with Christmas in London Wow ! What a build up and release ! So much happened There was so much going on and building up and it all seemed to come to a head in 1969! The making of Let it bleed 69 is really a SWEET SPOT for Me!!!! I’ve been working on a FOREST FIRE in a FOREST FIRE CAMP this July ! I’m off duty now. The Jaguar should be finished tomorrow Friday ! I’m deep into preparations for my return to Toronto in August. There is a lot going on man!!!! Next summer they may hand me up in a Government Forestry Tower. Yup life is great to have a summer job as a government hired forest fire fighter. 8 am - 10 pm have been my shifts !!!!!! Crazy hours Lots of overtime pay ! I can’t wait to get back to Toronto and be back at Canada’s number 1 University of higher learning! They are placing it as number 16 in the world now if you go by what the US NEWS REPORT has to say. I fully intend on paying my first visits to Boston and New York while I’m at Toronto. The State of Maine too for my much loved STEPHEN KING. My other favorite Steve !!!!!! I hope you are well Steve Sorry for ALLLL the smoke that hit NYC we are trying to get the fires out trust me !!!!! Best, Greg.
nice to hear from you Greg, and that you are cruising along and being productive. the fires must be so intense and crazy scary. good luck with all that. Also with your school! good times! thanks for sharing. Yes, LIB is like no other, and many know it's potency! We all get the same vibe! cheers and keep it going
ahhhhh yes indeed! there are many! all in the family and we love it. Working on Exile Part 2 now. over 3 hours long. There will be a Part 3. enjoy and thank for commenting!!
Hey, just watched the entire 3 parter.. loved it. Also watched your review on Goats Head Soup, excellent also.. I am a somewhat new Rolling Stones mega fan. (Musician too) I know it was lots of hard work to make, but important work. I am hoping you create more Stones vids! Thanks
Thank you JS, very cool to let me know. glad you tuned in. yes tremendous amount of energy put in. but love it Important info that I needed to turn folks on to. They are great for a reason! Black and Blue is work in progress now!
Hi Edward, how can any RnR'er not be.....great stuff. Thanks for the commenting and letting me know. Much more in development soon to come. cheers steve
These documentaries are great man. They really fill in the gaps where most mainstream documentaries fall short. “Crossfire Hurricane” really wasn’t that good. The only one I thought really captured it was “The Stones In Exile.”
thanks Tyler....we love learning and sharing info....and love how we are now getting more and more on them we did not know about. Yes, I agree....some are just not so good. Brian's recent one was deep and good. But, a reason why I do not really want to go into an EXILE doc, there is so much out there. check out my others. note PT2 Goats Head was removed for copyright...trying to get them to put it back Studio Hamburg....damn!
Really well done. The perspective of where the world was in politics, pop culture, the dynamics within the band themselves. Glad that you kept the tale of Brian's last night as close to facts as possible. Once I saw you mention Anna Wohlin and Thorogood I knew that this was the real deal. I would however have mentioned Ry Cooder's name when talking about names who introduced Keith to open tunings. Great film by you! (I hear you mention a GHS clip [- must watch) Edit - apologies, I see you mention Ry Cooder now.
Thanks PR2000.....something Stones Head should appreciate....thanks for the watch and comments to a Stones Head!. I can not see any other way to deliver a documentary or a review.....and not going deep! Part 3 is on its way now....1.5 hours long. cheers steve
Love your content. I'm a 35+ year fan and always re discovering albums. Right now in the car...Emotional Rescue! What a great album. Their punk rock periode, trying to outpunk the Pistols. Thank you FSCT.
nice JB, glad to hear you are on board with them. this period was brilliant. Yes Emotional is another hidden gem and we considered to be Some Girls Pt2. thanks
Gimme shelter marked the end of peace, love and flower power. That bass is the most threatening sounding bass I’ve ever heard. The harp is just sick as well. Probably among the top 5 stones tunes ever.
first time I heard it was on 94 95 at barstow little hometown near las vegas still in california I'm 44 and still love the stones seen them live at los angeles on their voodooo lounge tour thanks for uploading this jewel my favourite band and I love'em
So glad you are a fan, and I just want the word to keep on spreading on them.. The VL was a sweet and memorable tour for me also...hope you checked a few more vids out. best steve
Superb work, Steve. I really enjoyed that, with you pulling in all those threads of narrative to create a 360 view of things. It finished just as I was thinking it was probably about halfway through :) Sound is excellent throughout (I see you've mentioned a change in room to CalicoSilver, but hey, it happens). Really looking forward to the rest. Ian
Glad to hear from you, YUP....someone special told me to use a homemade stocking device.....and so nice how it worked!! TY! I almost went back to my original room and rerecorded that end section to keep the audio at the same level and sound....I was smirking to myself, and said 'go easy on yourself Steve, you are allowed to keep it....you are not getting paid'. This research gathering is fun, it is the collective narration and chronological flow that makes this a sure challenge. Looking forward to getting more out....1-2 weeks. cheers steve
@@FlipSideCT Great stuff, and I'm so glad it works :) I'm listening to the album again just now - well, I only have it on CD, but one day... I do have Exile, the Abbey Road cut, on record, which is incredible, so it's bit by bit.
I absolutely LOVE that this starts out showing respect and celebration of Brian Jones... in my opinion, he was the heart and soul of the band. No Jones, no true Stones- but that's just me
RC thanks for the comment. I am not a big Brian fan.....but growing more. Same with early Stones. Yes, really on he was the heart and guider of the band....but when they started writing, that seemed to be when/where he starting losing the lead role.
@betty boop just my opinion and there is no right or wrong.....no doubt in the beginning he was the leader and major influence.......all the chemistry and roles worked well early on, but they expanded in different directions as time went on.
@@FlipSideCT I agree. I’m afraid (and I understand only too well) that those late 60’s/70’s drugs were powerful. I’ve learnt that Brian used barbiturates a lot latterly. These can simply put one out of the game, and one misusing barbs makes the user literally good for nothing- let alone write music. They were plentiful and actually, Tuinal etc. weren’t even illegal until early 80’s. This perhaps along with growing resentment may have well mucked Brian’s head up. Micks also quoted as saying Brian was taking the wrong type of drugs. Incidentally, it’s interesting to note that not much is said about his physical health and regular seizures. Just a thought. I agree with you that the stones seemed to flourish following Brian leaving - and especially with Mick Taylor’s input. It’s all a matter of individual tastes and a point of view though. Thanks for the video and all the interesting and reasonable comments, so lacking in many other channels. I appreciate this stuff. ✌️
@@Swimkid1 Yes Nemo, plenty of observations and personal takes on the entire scene. We surely are thankful with any Stones period. appreciate your comments and input.
Hi Steve, This Doc. is fantastic ! I love hearing about the Stones past,especially their relationships with their old girlfriends. I enjoyed all the pictures you've included. I always wondered how Brian Jones really died , it just seems so odd that he drowned.Your narration is perfect,relaxing but informative. I'm happy your back, and I do recognize the hard work you put into this.Thank You, and I can't wait for the future episodes ! Happiness, Cindy
Hi MS. Cindy! great hearing from you. I also find it all this interesting, so the research if fun. Pulling it together is the work. Glad you mentioned the pics, as I very cautiously try to include pics that are not popular. More to come about on Brian, but it really is not 100% known about his death. Also, glad you pointed out about the narration...purposely done slower paced. There is to much to absorb, and a key reason documentaries fail IMO. Happy To!! steve
Thing being, Brian’s potential to experience seizures has never been an open topic. Naturally, it’s drugs and drink of course. But hey’ how about Brian having a seizure a a nobody around to help - or know what to do. This would be thought of differently now with our increased awareness of mental health issues and seizures (formerly known as fits). Highly likely it was not due to drugs actually!
@@Swimkid1 Yes, we know more now then at that time about mental health and how to diagnose it better. Could something have occurred while he swam at that moment....very possible, and not drug related.
What a colorful cast of characters and so much chaos going on. So many fun facts and people involved that I had no idea about. Your ability to find footage and have the time to creat this is amazing. Do you do this kind of stuff for work? It is so incredibly put together. I always loved Joujuka by Jones. Marianne Faithful, she was always covered in controversy. Extremely professional done and entertaining. Thanks as always Steve
Always a pleasure my friend. TY bunch! The search for footage and pics are the last thing I do, and the most fun. Rule 1: try not to use popular photos, drill down deep, research, dont be content with anything. Match your words best as possible. Projects are my thing....give me one and I will do the best I can for my I.T. work....hated TESTS. I had a business for Wedding / Bar Mitzvahs / Commercials / Docs, and was very successful until I just got tired of it. Great $. So piecing it all together comes natural. It is OK to copy other doc styles and part of making a good one yourself. How to tell the story in an organized matter is the biggest challenge and is where the challenge really is. Joujouka....hmmmmm....you got the wonderful worldliness about you Steve. need 1-2 weeks for next part. we can talk more on steps done for this.
@Slater Slater B&Keith were doing a lot of questioning of how did these artists get that sound. They did deep analysis. Yes open D/E were used. I believe Ry played Memo From Turner in open A.
@@ronniechilds2002 Yes Ronnie..all timing and chemistry.....just play it loud and on a good sound system, and it should sell itself. I get chills everytime I hear them....and they should be played loud and thru a good system.
I love these videos you make. I’ve watched them more than twice. Kieths 5 string tele is tuned to G. His acoustics the 12 & 6 on Wild Horses is in open G while Taylor plays Nashville tuned acoustic
My first stones album was through the past darkly I was12. At 54 They’re heyday was before my time. When I was in Germany in 1987 I bought this cassette and listened in my Walkman. Still my favorite stones album.
thanks for sharing JH, appreciated you watching. I would have loved to caught that 69-78 time....truly magical and special and there will never be another time like that again. I also had plenty of walkman listens like you! steve
Seriously, this doc was incredible. Upon discovering, I watched all 3 consecutively, and I advise fans to do the same. The narration is superb! And the background tracks are amazing rarities and outtakes. Most Stones specials or interviews cover the SAME topics over, and over, and over, again-- such as their competition with The Beatles, the story of how M & K met at the Dartford station, how "Satisfaction" was written, details of the various drug busts, etc etc etc etc. These are all great stories, but imho they've been beaten to death. Instead this documentary is amazing at telling the interesting aspects of this Stones era. Details that REAL fans want to know, such as recording/production details, close musical influencers, and interactions (and MUCH more). And things that had a real impact on their music. I really love the fact that a variety of songs are covered- not just the "hits". Anyway, too much to name and enough of me. These 3 parts are better than most of the mainstream Stones specials out there. Blown away!!!
Whoa Adam, cool response!! You know it and get it! TY TY. I got so friggin tired of the BS out there. Tell me something I do not know, PLEASE! So you hit it square on the head.....and that some folks need hand holding on how to listen to it and appreciate the nuances of the band. It is great to see this comment, and hoping folks carry on....I do not make anything on this nor care about subscribers.....it is all about the STONES HEAD turn on. cheers....hopefully you browse thru and check out my others on the channel. cheers steve p.s great channel name!!
@@FlipSideCT thanks so much! I couldn't agree more. Thankfully some of the books out there go into some more detail. I've come to see the situation you comment on, as such: The Stones are kind of 2 bands in one (or more specifically--have become 2 bands, as of late). The first is the band most of the luke-warm fans know and like. This version of the band is the one the mass produced documentary material focuses on. In my opinon, this is also the band that currently tours and plays live. Don't get me wrong, it's incredible they still play live--and do some awesome versions. But they seem to abide by a formula when it comes to set list (maximizing the songs with the most interest). It's business, and makes sense. The second version of the band is the one that is passionate towards their influences, loves creating good material, and writes the songs that hardcore fans love. IE, the songs one wouldn't usually hear live. They would prb be happy playing in clubs. This second Stones iteration is the one that you cover in this documentary. I'm being wordy, but it's really the best way I can explain it all. Thanks! I will def check more of your channel out!
So great that there's a substantial reference to Jack Nitzsche here. Check out his earlier classics such as "Surf Finger", "The Lonely Surfer", "The Last Race" and "Ebb Tide." Some tracks from Jack's unreleased early 1970s solo album are also on RU-vid, such as the gorgeous "Lower California." Another must-listen is the suite "Number 11." Nitzsche was an absolute one-off. And speaking of one-offs, the other great contributor to the Performance film was co-director Nicholas Roeg. CHEERS FlipSideCT.
@@FlipSideCT If you have enough archival material for a Jack Jack Nitzsche documentary, you must definitely do one, even if it's only 15 minutes long. CHEERS
@@ericmalone3213 I did give him some due...but yes, that would be nice to do.....I just have such a long queue of possibilities, and it all drives off of how much material I have or can get on a artist.
@@FlipSideCT One always has to separate the person from the work. Jimmy Page schtupped 14 year olds when he was 35, he was a creep, but somehow he gets a pass, and is a "legend." John Bonham and Warren Zevon punched women in the face. Lots of people in show business behaved very badly in a number of ways, and were also incredibly talented. The work is one thing and the person is another. As the poet Ted Berrigan once said, "You can't know anything more about my work by knowing me, and you can't know anything more about me by knowing my work." P.S., If one is going to "cancel" everyone in show business who was a cokehead, there won't be anyone left whose work you can enjoy, except The Osmond Family!
Exactly! They were always innovating and maybe copying a bit,but who doesnt,they were definitely not repetitive,and maybe that's why they are still with us today and 2021 live shows here we go!
learned more about brain in 5 minutes here than anywhere else -- and I've looked for years. thanks for upload. very sad about brain -- but kinda inevitable when the Jagger and Richards team began to simmer and overtake the whole thing -- as it should have been. I love it that you are so absorbed in this that you would put a three part series together. I learned a lot and I've read a lot of books and seen a movies and even heard all the participants discuss it at one point or another. Your explanation is very objective and accurate. Lots of folk don't this this story -- You tel lit well. Thanks again...
thanks Jay! appreciated...sorry so late on this. there is so much out there on Brian. I do not know where to even start. I am not any expert, but took trusted info I found.
I frickin LOVE THIS ALBUM! Beggar’s Banquet was really good, but rarely listen to it in its entirety! This album was different! It was a sad time too, they had to dump Brian! He was sadly useless on this album, and contributes barely anything! Keith really took the helm here and played nearly all the guitars, both rhythm and and lead! He created some of the best Stones songs here! Gimme Shelter, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, the title track, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man, (a personal favorite, although not a big hit, and don’t know if they ever played it in concerts)! Also Country Honk, an early version which escorted Mick Taylor in and redone as the classic Honkey Tonk Women! Released as a single before this album was released! This also marked the time when the Stones really differentiated them selves from the Beatles, (despite the similarity of the title with Let it Be)! As far as the music went, it sounded nothing like the Beatles! They truly defined their own identity with this album! Summing it all up, I was loving Keith’s job on the guitars. Not the best lead player, but he served up the goods here!!
Terrific history of the leadup to the album, Steve. This was the time the Stones came into their own musically while simultaneously entering the world of Rock Star excess. Well done!
Thank you Paul for following along. Yes, for sure the lead up had a lot to do with what followed. I could not see LIB if there was no Beggars. They had to break away. Brilliance taking a step back and then taking that leap forward! TY!!
