A very informative and interesting complete documentary (1-3). I am not a Rolling Stone fan but a Beatle fan. Lately, as I was scrolling on youtube, it interested me to listen to songs & watch concerts of the Rolling Stones. Found them great! I suddenly had a great crush on Keith Richards whom I see as good looking, sexy & cool especially during his younger years! Too bad Charlie Watts died. More on Keith Richards pls.
Steve, gotta tell you mate, you have definitely encapsulated the period you did this fantastic piece of work on. Also little before and after. Having been a musician over 52 yrs, I was a student of every person mentioned all my life. It seems you’ve been complimented a great deal, so here’s one more. Anyone who doesn’t burn this,in the event that we lose it on Utube ,well is simply a fool. Back-breaking work, mate, Thank you. Peace, Rocky
Hi Rocky, hearing the comments does help me want to move ahead with doing more. It makes it worthwhile if I know folks get it and appreciate the work......it was so effin time consuming. As you know, playing to a crowd of 4 or 100 is a big difference. I am glad you are a Stones head and got much out of it. I do have to save it myself, as I do not have back up. Thank you for your compliments and commenting.....hopefully you will check out the other docs etc I have. I will do my guitar previews, as I like to geek out with others on that, it is more about the interaction with new friends that makes it worth it. cheers steve
On a personal note, I watched all 3 installments straight thru today (with a break or 2) and am affected very deeply by what you've done here. And inspired. My most sincere thanks to you for this labor of love. Hard Knocks, Durty Socks. Sheeeit...
3 hours of your life.....not a waste which was not wasted. That is good. I had nothing to do with those BS ads though. Glad this touched you and you were inspired. I sure was! A Great topic gives a great story!! thanks for all!! steve
thank you so much Matt! really appreciate you letting me know, as clicking and sharing with other like minded Stones fans is fantastic! I am sure you will check out my others!! thanks
What a great documentary. I watched all three episodes. I’ve always considered beggars banquet and let it bleed as being the stones’ rubber soul and revolver. Get your Yaya‘s out is a great live document of this tour - love it also. Wish they made a double album of that. My mom, dad, sister and I were at the Altamont concert… My sister had just turned four, I would turn six in a few days… We got there late, no music playing, finally the stones came on- but the music kept starting and stopping. We were too far away up the hill, we couldn’t tell what was causing this. My sister and I watched gimme shelter years later, we finally understood why. What a bummer end to the 60s, and the stones American tour… still love those albums though
BC....you and me both.....I am searching for a special Ya Ya's with more on it. Damn....the family at Altamont...whoa! so cool to have your parents bring you....a bit risky, but that is an after thought now, then again the issues were more at the stage. hopefully you got pics. yea, the end of it still was a connection into another era of greatness!! Great RnR...appreciate you sharing your story and commenting...cool. thanks for it all also! steve
That's all I can say is this three part Let It Bleed documentary was the best that I have ever seen. The never seen clips, the info, the background music and even the sibilance in your voice were all top notch. I think I mentioned to you before that the Mick Taylor period was the absolute best in my humble opinion. He was the guy who helped to take the band to a whole new level of live performances. Man you even knew what questions they were asked at the press conference. Rona Barrett? I have not heard that name in years. Man I always liked Bill Graham. But after hearing this story my opinion of him has waned a bit. On a side note. I met him in person before Live Aid in 1985. Actually it was just a handshake and three or four words. Absolutely incredible job here Steve. You really did your homework and some. I couldn't think of a better person to write the ultimate Stones novel. Thanks for sharing all three parts~ Rob/Boston
Thank you AS ALWAYS my friend! I needed to get this out there, after seeing so many 10-15 min reviews on their albums, I really wanted to have folks see it done from this perspective and correct. Yeah, I rewatched and listened to many interviews and details again to get this done correctly. I was shocked about Bill G also, and Sam would not have said this if it was not true....plus Charlie. There are some great books.....so no novel from me. Bill W has all the details and archives and wished he would share even more then he does. He has another new documentary out now QUIET ONE. It gets me sad as they get up there in age, and I preach that ARTISTS/BANDS should get praise before they pass on and not just after. Cheers steve
Born and bred with The Stones, but then again there are many of us. I wished I knew more and had more. I am still learning. thank you for the comments CM....!!
Nicely done. I felt like we were sitting in a comfortable den in overstuffed chairs and you were sharing your insights with me. This style really worked well.
My favorite Stones album! Saw them at MSG November, 1969 then bought "Let It Bleed" in December. Needless to say the concert and the Stones made a big impression on me and I'm still playing guitar because of Keith and Mick Taylor. Thank you for this documentary, it's truly a labor of love.
Glad you commented and are one of those fans that have that Elite notch on their belt with 69'. Keith and Mick shed their power to us......I too with the guitar. I just wished we had internet back in the 70's to learn the guitar licks better. In the 80's in New Jersey, I became friends with the a STONES cover band guitarist. He taught me the Open tunings, and that opened up my world. thanks for sharing, and love to share Stones with the "family"
Steve, I’m going to call you the Ken Burns of the VC. Such an incredible finish to this. I appreciate you mentioning some of the books also. I can not fathom the time you put into this. You script writing for it was excellent, easy to understand but your passion rang through. I have saved all of your documentaries so I can watch them again, great historical documents. Well done my friend. Steve
SMILE, SMILE and another smile ...TY!! I do love projects when I am at my leisure though! Thanks for noticing the script. That is the toughest challenge to piece that together and make sure it has continuity and flow, the timeline does help. I watch them time to time to remember a few things. As mentioned, I just want folks to know what a review of an album should be like. cheers all the best STEVE, got my first vaccine dose.
I just found this........holly shit.... this is so well done and interesting . Thank you so much. Please don’t stop. You’ve found your calling :) Aloha
Maholo!!! It is easy to do, throw in some Mick and Keith, some issues, some great songs and album.....and we got the BEST! I hope to move on as I see all the comments....check out the other videos I have. cheers steve
I’ve been a rabid fan of the Rolling Stones since I was 12. I’m now 61. I’ve seen them 15 times in concert. This is without a doubt the best documentary on the Stones I’ve ever seen. Fantastic research, details, storytelling and narration. We’ll done, sir!
Especially done for the fan like yourself. I did not see anything out there that gave a sold coherent timeline and spoon fed us. Thought it was time to do so, thank you and hope you check out the others!!
Was at both Oakland Coliseum shows and Altamont... ( and at Robert Franks personal screening ( I talked to him in the lobby ) of his "Cocksucker Blues" documentary at The Castro Theater ) and yours is the most passionate, detailed documentary, I've ever seen, about almost anything, let alone THE ROLLING STONES-- THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
....very cool to hear that.....gotta say, love your credentials!! So that goes a long way for me. I caught Robert's showing also in Boston, it was so memorable....but did not talk to him....that is one sure bonus!! thanks for the kind words.....the topic makes it easy for me....I appreciate you getting the way I presented it, it was thought out. Lol, I did get some comments of folks ripping me apart on my delivery etc.....I laugh at it, after I read something like this, someone who is in sync with me!! best steve
@@FlipSideCT Hey Steve, fuck the haters! Lol. I also appreciate that you, like me are a guitar player! The one question I remember asking Frank was " are the Stones good people?" He said "yeah, but it's not easy being a Stone" Cheers Mate!
Wow, this series you have put together is blowing my mind! The inside details and back stories are incredible. Im amazed by these rare photos, documents, promotional materials etc etc you have amassed here! Add to that your personal insight, seemingly intimate knowledge and your narrative style and BANG, you have created the most informative and entertaining Rolling Stone documentary I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen them all. Sincere thanks. Now on to the next one.
LOL....great comments! Thank you....well appreciated, and gratifying! It helps me move on. I believe 95% of the folks are clicking with me on it, which is great. A fan's doc for the fan. Tell me something I don't know, is how I put it out there. more coming...thanks !!
This is awesome! The details are truly interesting. I love that Marsha Hunt is brought to the forefront! We know so much about Exile sessions, which were the original mysterious sessions, but these sessions are just as mysterious, along with the horrible loss of Brian. Thank you!
Thank you Adam for commenting and letting me know. As I said, I appreciate it. Glad you get it all. Right, I will not do Exile or Sticky as there is too much out there. As I always say, tell me something I do not know. Had to get folks exposed more then just a 10-15 album review. cheers steve
That was totally epic. Awesome. Thanks so much for the time you have put into this. The best Sunday afternoon I've had for as long as I can remember enjoying this.
Let It Bleed as you stated was a Masterpiece. A Rock/Blues opera in all it’s glory. I was 13/14 at its release my brother brought it home from UCONN one day. He put on Midnight Rambler over and over and over. I got it from the first break playing loudly thru my new Zenith “Circle Of Sound” stereo changer of the day. We both had been music lovers (deep divers of all genres) for years. I like how you have taken various information from some of the sites like Nico’s and others and put it together in a concise well delivered story. Kudos. You made this so much more digestible than going and reading the info at said sites. Dig your delivery you could have been early 70’s WPLR. Late nite or otherwise. Perfect flow!!!!👏🏻 I hear the mention of Bill Germans book along with Keith’s. The audiobook versions were great. They use voices and deliveries that just add so much to the story. Looking forward to many more deep dives by you. I have read much of this stuff over the years but like most minutia it goes in one side and out the other side. You on the other hand deliver it in such a way (to me anyhow) that it sticks. Jimmy Miller plays a huge role IMO in the “Golden Era” that run of 4/5 albums he was with. His sister Judith Miller wrote a beautiful piece if your interested it’s a really great brother sister read. Titled so fittingly “Mr. Jimmy” www.tabletmag.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/sections/arts-letters/articles/jimmy-miller-rolling-stones
Thank you very much for your comments, well appreciated and glad as a Stones head you can dig this. Great memory to have with LIB....amazing what memories we get to relive. I agree to what you mention. I got tired of hearing so many bits and pieces and no one has tied it all into one comprehensive logical flow to make sense of it all. Thanks for getting that! I take great pride in gather so much info from so many places.....it is extremely challenging to organize and deliver and tap into so so many resources and listening to many interviews, reading articles and trusting websites. Bill G did some great work for us fans and needs to get more pats on the back. He is still active and one day maybe I can interview him for us fans. I did read the MR Jimmy, thanks for the turn on though! Hopefully you check out the other docs. Some Girls is being worked on now. cheers
Yes, you have proved the greatness of this album. I hope future folks (Our children's, children's... ) see this. You are truly appreciated! I wanted to tell you... I met this guy here in Oregon when he did a speaking tour for a new non- Stones book. I forgot the guy's name but he's a good friend of the Stones and was the guy who introduced The Stones on the Get Yer Ya Yas Out album. He said 2 girls told him to say "They're the Greatest Band in the World" Because he didn't know what to say for some reason, he used that. He also said, Mick was not super happy about the new slogan but Mick loved it later. If I remember his name I'll edit his name here. Thanks so much! :)
Thank you MT.....Yup, as JB said, that is Sam Culter, and I told the story in the clip. Sam is a real cool guy and open and honest. His book is great and he has done plenty of interviews.
Glad you mentioned the part about meeting the guy who actually did the introduction for the “The Greatest Band in the World… The Rolling Stones” and since you couldn’t remember the announcer’s name, no one can ever accuse you of being a NameDropper !! You kno… the kind of guy who sez, “I kno so and so who knows such and such and is the second cousin of who knows who” and so this makes me important and popular. Always better to be humble and keep all that on the down low anyway. I’m just wondering if you remember the part on YA- YA’s OUT where Mick showcases his ability to work the crowd when he sez, “I think my trousers are falling down. You wouldn’t want my trousers to fall down now WOULD YA !??” Hilarious! Classic! Touché and Bravo MICK !!! Ok it’s Sam Cutler so anyway it’s ok to namedrop now. We know your humble…
Of course my friend! Are you kidding me? Your videos are HUGE and full of researched authentic information. With your channel, I don’t have to do anything but brew another cup of coffee and let the good times roll. I’m gonna order up that book from their tour manager. Imagine the job of the Stones TM? It’s the equivalent of what Richard Cole did with Zeppelin. I’m sure there was hard work involved but...after that came the fun stuff. They packed their beaks with only the best blow I’m certain of it. It was the Golden Rock Era and I live for it everyday. I was born when it was in full swing: 1967 so, I was 10 years too late!
@@luvbasses5487 well you get it....I was tired of the bull shit out there of folks thinking they were providing a service of so called info. Then I was tired of so called fans bashing albums.....not on my watch! glad you will check Sam's book. Stones had only the best quality. cheers!!
Some people can come across waaaaaaaay too opinionated. Low class, in my opinion. Let the conversation just flow man. I don’t wanna argue. I’m using Stones music to escape all the social nonsense and America haters out there today clamoring for some kind of change. Enough Already! We’ve come a far way from the sixties. We as Americans never claimed we were the best, we’re certainly better than the alternative though! Enjoy what’s available to you and be grateful.
Gav, thank you so much for letting me know and commenting. I love to share and turn on, so the time was well spent. I am just burned out now and need downtime. cheers steve
I have just re- watched your incredible rockumentry of the greatest rock and roll band in the world. You should be so proud of your remarkable detailed knowledge and research into this period of rock folklore. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. You have created a gem!!👍😃
Excellent work, thoroughly enjoyed all three videos ! I'll be sure to check out more. Agree that Beggars banquet was the beginning of the groups best work. I'll tack on 2 more years through "Only Rock & Roll" and say I'm a huge Mick Taylor fan too !
thank you Mike and for your commenting. Great to see that you can enjoy these the way I do. I felt it delivers more than any other doc has. Enjoy the others, you will find them in my Playlist. Many guitar lovers do say they pleasure Taylor's era.
Being a ''Stones geek'' I really appreciate the time and effort you've taken to produce these films, not to mention the love and care that is obvious. You spoke with the knowledge of a long term fan of the Stones but also of music which also colours our lives (when it's good) and I hope you can do more of the Rolling Stones' discography. Thanks again. I'm from the UK so excuse the way I spell colour.
TD....thank you so much for the kind and meaningful words!! goes a long way for me when someone observes like this. There are many fans and so much to still learn! Yes, COLOUR is a great description.....we feel the emotional connection and it brings us to a good place, it is beauty! appreciated! Steve
Incredible job!I've just watched all parts tonight. I'm a fan of Rolling Stones all my life and have all of their records and many books , films , documentaries , bootlegs etc , but you managed to put anything that's been documented together in a way nobody could even dream of . I hope you have the energy to do some more.Thanx a lot
Hey Marc, so from one Stones head to another.....thank you also!! It is really special when I hear how folks appreciate the package I gave. As it was very thought out, planned and purposefully done. So it is great we are both in sync and learned from it!! Hopefully you caught my others. I am trying to get the Mojo back...might be Black & Blue....thanks for all steve
Thank you Julie....so glad you commented. I appreciate them. A deep passion, like so many others! We will surely miss him, especially when / if a new album is done. cheers
I am blushing GL .....made me laugh. TY! The topic matter made this easy! Thank you for your commenting and letting me know you enjoyed it! cheers Steve
Also, you're a very charismatic narrator. I feel like I just sat down with a friend who laid some deep wisdom on me. You deliver a very personal and colorful touch to what's already outstanding work. Thanks again!
Wow, thank you! Love hearing that, as that was exactly my goal. Spent to much time hearing boring lectures in my life. Thanks for getting it, and letting me know! all done with a purpose!
I'm just gobsmacked Steve - this was incredible; the whole series was. Apart from the hundreds of man-hours spent as a labour of utter love for the band and the album, I just don't know how you did it. I really feel like this could be the final word on Let It Bleed. To have your passion and enthusiasm as well as your clear narrative and writing skills, researching and gathering information, just mindblowing. Thank you Steve for such an immersive viewing experience. I'll be sharing this with friends and watching again. Magical. Cheers- Dean
Perfecto Dean!! thank you so much, makes me smile, and worthwhile. Projects and organization comes easy for me, then throw in a subject that is easy to research it makes it easier. It is a formula model that I can now follow. But, now, taking tests ie at the University, hated it! But this makes it worthwhile to friends like you that appreciated and enjoyed it. I also got very tired of seeing 10-15 minute reviews of an album being done by some folks that just read off of Wikipedia and get 10k views and praising! that is B.S. I wanted to set an example of how I WOULD want to watch it......tell me something I dont know! thanks again !!! cheers steve
Thank you for this child of yours, this labor of love. Been a Stones fan all my life at 67 and this is one of the better tributes I've had the pleasure of seeing. Learned a few things too!
Nice Robert, glad this clicked for you...as I hoped there is something for everyone. thank you.. Sharing with the Stones family is great! and hopefully you checked out the other docs!! cheers
Excellent job! You really did compile a lot of historical information for this documentary, and I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you put into creating it. I enjoyed watching it tremendously.
RR......I think I commented before...? but anyway.....thank you for these comments....a crap load of info.....a complete notebook, actually 2. A challenge for sure, but with Passion and The Stones the combo helped me along. so glad you enjoyed, and hope you saw some others. steve
very welcome Vin....thanks for letting me know as a lot went into it as you can see. We Stones fans needed something to sink our teeth in. Hopefully you check out the others. Some Girls is being worked on now.
@@FlipSideCT Some Girls! Looking forward to it! That's when I came in, when they released that....8th grade graduation.....seems about a hundred years ago.....
That was the best documentary I've ever seen. Just a beautiful body of work! Thank you for doing this. I always loved those same 4 albums and that time period. You've made me love it even more. Didn't think it was possible. Tremendous Thanks to you from me personally. You are talented! Please continue to show us your art!!!
TM, thank you so much for the comments!! so well appreciated, and is what makes me drive ahead with more knowing that there are true RnR'ers out there that are in sync with my docs. That is great you got more out of it...to appreciate the album more. My exact goal. You would be amazed of some comments of folks that either complain or just do not get it! check out my others and Black and Blue is work in progress now!! cheers steve
I've seen the Rolling Stones only 3 times: '66, '69 & '81, & 1969 BY FAR was the best... their Let It Bleed tour & one the best Rock'n'Roll shows I've ever witnessed... thank you for a wonder filled documentary...!
I had Let it Bleed Lp poster 1973/74. Back then record companies splurged. Later on gatefolds reissues were single, posters deleted :( Those were the days.....
Man, I'm 65 and consider myself an amateur historian of R n' R. Have several books, LPs, concert tkt. stubs, etc. But I learned so much here I had to subscribe! See you soon! peace...
I do not blame you, I would. I would love to see someone do my in depth docs on other bands. Thank you for your comment and support. A passion and from a fan for the fan! cheers enjoy the others.
Was there at the front when Stones played Hyde Park. A high point of my life. Mick gave a eulogy to Brian, not mentioned here, from Shelley: “Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep - He hath awakened from the dream of life - ‘Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep With phantoms an unprofitable strife, And in mad trance, strike with our spirit’s knife Invulnerable nothings. - We decay Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief Convulse us and consume us day by day, And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay. The One remains, the many change and pass; Heaven’s light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly; Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death tramples it to fragments. - Die, If thou wouldst be with that which thou dost seek! Follow where all is fled!”
Hello geez. We’ve connected before with your other Stones work. I’ve hooked up with this Let it Bleed doc once again. It must be my fourth time lol. I just wanna say”this is simply brilliant thank you”. Well researched, well narrated and thoroughly enjoyable. I couldn’t encourage you more mate. Nice one. Thanks again, my warm regards to you and your family. Dave ✌️
Wonderful! thank you Dave for letting me know this. Means a lot to me, and encourages me to move ahead for more. Glad you are in sync with it and get my point and messages here!! Cheers
Someone made the comment that you are the Ken Burns of RocknRoll documentaries and I couldn’t agree more. Thx for the great work which must have been both exhausting and rewarding… I was just ready to go to the store because I was out of milk when this 3 parter showed up on my RU-vid feed. I thought, “I’ll just watch a little bit of part one before I skip off to the grocery store. It’s 9pm and Safeway closes at 11pm”. Thx to you, I wasn’t able to enjoy a bowl of Frosted Miniwheats the following morning bec I was outta milk!” 😱😉😜✌️
LOL WS.....sorry so late on this....so backlogged....thanks you for enjoying and commenting! hope you got your milk now and watch more....see my Part 1 Black and Blue now
thanks again KGO.....so glad you saw them all. I surely enjoyed it myself, and have watched it for knowledge learning again. It is the only way I see a video should be made, and have folks walk away with something they dont know.
Thanks, Flip. Your passion, attention to detail, fairness, story-telling abilities are right up there with some of the best rock music documentary films including so many that had much larger budgets. The Stones should thank you for your efforts and treatment. Choosing "the best" Stones album isn't easy (and maybe who cares anyway). Let It Bleed is certainly a contender, and the fact that, all these years later it's still worthy of a three part film that got me re-listening to it for the thousandth time with even more fascination, plus buying Cutler's book for more back story, says a ton. Thanks again.
thank you very much, very comforting words. It means a lot. I have a lot of pride in my work and got a bit fed up with such garbage out there, and that the fans needed something more. I really enjoy that the fans are clicking and in sync with my style/content. It is a pure passion. I would say note to note, second to second LIB is perfect. However, I would put on most of their albums and love it. Like you, I heard it so many times, but when I still do, it is like the first time it is that good. Glad you went back for a re-listen, cool. I am now reading (and late to the show) Under Their Thumb, Bill German). cheers
hi KG....thank you for the comments. It stutter a bit....but some of it is purposely done.....chaos is sometimes good! hopefully you check out a few more I have.
You may be getting fed up with all these plaudits but your work here amazing the delivery and detail fantastic, This must have been an enormous undertaking. I never wanted it to end. Huge "thanks and praise" Sincerely Jim in the UK
Jim it is folks like you that keep me going! I do not get tired of hearing how TRUE STONES fans get what I deliver here. Some do not, so it always is great to hear this! thank you! A true fan does not want it to end......cool to say that! So many friggin hours to make these. It has become a time challenge for me lately.....check out the others.....and there is one right now I am working on! cheers!!
Man, you must have had to put SO much work into putting this 3 part series together. I'm sure I'm not the only one to think that you have done this great piece of work justice. I was born in 1971 and so never got to appreciate the period (tho I did see the Stones here in London much later on in the 90s and they were still great.) As a musician, I can appreciate the extra miles you have gone with your research. Do more!! Set up Patreon if you haven't already and get some return on your hard work! God bless! Oh, one last thing, did you have to get clearance for using all the music and clips etc.? It would be tragic if RU-vid took it down. Now that Alan Klein is not around you may be ok!!
Hey Mattie thanks so much for the chat and praise and understanding hard work!! Surely a passion....and what is great is I walk away with more then I knew before. As you hopefully seen, I have done others.....I truly want folks to appreciate it like yourself and always enjoyed to turn folks on to music / info. To answer your question, no I did not get clearance but YT says the Video cannot be monetized / Ad revenue paid to copyright owner....due to 5 tracks I played. I am not sure if I can work this out with that YT impact. Due to the amount of work hours and hours of my time yes I would like to get some monetary value.....I love doing it....but it would help the situation. I made a 3 part series on Max's Kansas City (famous NYC Club) from how the owner started in early 60's - until 80's. It was real cool and great RnR info.....the inner circle of Max's watched and liked it, UNITL they told the owner's wife, and she insisted I take it down or she would complain. I find out after talking with her more......she is working on a documentary on MAX's, I believe this would have been competition. I still have them privately though. oh well.
@@FlipSideCT That's interesting. A couple of days ago I watched a whole day and nights worth of Ramones documentaries where they mention MAX's a lot and it occurred to me that I know nothing about that place compared to CBGB's! Good luck with all your future endevour's and thank you for those hours of solid Stones entertainment!!
Another wonderful set of documentaries sir! Amazing to tie in the sad end of Brian Jones, the groundbreaking 1969 tour, even the seeds of the "Tax Exile" era, and oh by the way probably Keith Richards' finest hour in the Stones. Although he wouldn't have it to be a concert performing band without a co-guitarist, Keith's skills of being either the rhythm weaver or the leading man were on full display throughout the album. It goes on, indeed. To be clear, even going back to Aftermath Keith took a majority of the guitar parts but Brian Jones did still contribute. Sometimes with his guitar (Jumpin' Jack Flash, No Expectations) or often with a variety of other instruments (Paint It Black, Under My Thumb, Ruby Tuesday). To hear the stories of how far gone he was by late 1968 was so sad, yet brought on by himself. In terms of the Stones, not the first or last time they were faced with a situation that would have knocked out mere mortals. As we all know, the Stones have yet to be knocked out and they continue to give us shelter!
Well said Edward, thanks for sharing such fine comments! Agreed and thank you. Brian had many magical moments, and the reason why they became The Stones, but just drifted and became more a part timer, some due to mgt, personal style and I think, not able to write the songs. cheers
@@FlipSideCT Thank you sir. The lack of songwriting was the first blow to Brian and as you pointed out so astutely Anita was the one that really took him out.
You've done a fine job here. Well presented. From Beggars Banquet thru Exile was a phenomenal pocket of music from the Stones. And they're still not done. Amazing. Again, great job.
Just finished watching the complete thing. Steve.... un-fu**ing real. Seriously. I am beyond impressed. You know part of what I do professionally is I’m a several times published music journalist (Record Collector [U.K.], Mojo, Record Collector News, Goldmine Music Mag, etc etc) and boy let me tell you... the entire time all I could think is how fantastic of a written feature article this would have made. Thoroughly enjoyed it. You did an amazing job. - TONE
Tone....I am blushing!! Thank you my friend. Very cool comments !!! Very thought out and planned as you saw....basically, what can I deliver that will not be boring! The topic surely helped me, so it made it easier. I do love it when someone is in sync with me and gets it. Much more folks then not which is cool. Yeah, agree, I think this entire timeline would make a good article! Still smilin.....thank you!! steve
Your docs on the Stones albums are so detailed, informative and incredibly interesting. Thank you so much for putting all the time and effort in to make them so special.
Thank you Ian for the support. Well as I mention in some docs.....I got sick and tired of 10-15 reviews, and the longer docs, just told us what we know already, throw in how folks do not understand who/what/where/why and how. The Stones fans needed more. So with me loving research, and having over 50 books on Stones, and how there is details out on the internet (but with caution), I know how to compile this detail and make a comprehensive timeline and flow of all the information I can find. I can surely say, I do not retain all of this. enjoy the other docs!!
nice Nick.....thank you!! No Exile, there is so much out there on it, and very deep info. I do not think I would bring anything that would be new to the topic. Unless, I breakdown the album on my own. cheers
Just subscribed. Love the narration. What other stones albums have you done? I want to see them all. And yes, even though there is lots of material on exile, you need to do one anyway. This 3 parter on let it bleed is excellent.
@@jonathanbaggs4275 Thanks so much JB, and being in sync with my efforts here. Each doc takes over 100+ hours, so I am now moving slower paced. I have IORR, GHSoup, and a PART 1 of Black and Blue, hoping to finish up PT2 soon. There are other docs on my channel, Lou Reed, Punk, Eno, Ramones, Dolls, Ronnie Lane, smaller ones not in this scale. enjoy!
i was born in 94 to a really cool, loving, intellectual hippie-type couple. The first song I ever learned to play on guitar was Dead Flowers off of Sticky Fingers and I still play it(alongside many, many other Stones jams) with my band at local pubs. Needless to say: I love The Stones! I must say, although I enjoyed this wonderful, in depth journey(THANKS!!!!) there was not one fact or trivia-worthy bit I wasn't already aware of. However! I believe I now understand why your incredibly detailed docs, to me, are just as incredibly profound. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE, was therapy. My late father, who had a vast, encyclopedic knowledge of all things art. Anything and everything from Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night' to the Prince of Darkness' 'Birth of the Cool'; my father, to me, was a boundless well which contained the knowledge of all things I found rad. Music was our first father/son bonding experience and would remain our key connection, even(and in some cases ESPECIALLY) after his passing in 2019. These wonderful docs brought me back to my bedroom at 12 years old, sitting on the floor with my record player. Looking up at my father, awestruck and completely enthralled as I watch and listen to him talk about 'Exile on Main St.' or 'Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out". This might sound funny to some but this, for lack of better words, hit me hard in a place I guess I needed to get hit in. Again, FANTASTIC JOB!!! and Thanks
Thank you for sharing your story! Not very often I get to hear how parents turned their children on. That is real cool to have that happen to you! You got some real special memories that you can share and carry on, as the Stones move on also! Sorry to hear of your loss though, and sure he sneaks in your mind as you now listen! cheers keep on watching and listening!
@@clafong9 Check out my It's Only Rock and Roll doc or Goat's Head also. I recognize it all there. Yes, L&G is a great doc....and I am looking to watch that newly updated version of it.
@@clafong9 Most would Agee that Mick Taylor was a great addition to The Stones, perhaps the best guitarist they ever had although Keith wrote the best riffs. They say Bill Wyman was the “quiet Stone” but Mick Taylor was also an introverted rock star.
Your reviews on the Stones' albums are not only incredible, but they just keep getting better and better in leaps and bounds with each one. I rarely leave comments on RU-vid videos, but I had to let you know that the countless hours you obviously spent on this project is appreciated more than I can say. I'm so looking forward to whatever comes next, and I'm willing to wait a looong time for it if it means getting the same quality and standard. Top job! 🙂👍🤘
Wow, so cool to comment this and let me know Carl. I appreciate it! I am very happy when I hear this, and folks are in sync and clicking with me. It is a real pleasure. If you see my last video I talk about the next project. cheers steve
I can only agree with everybody here. The best documentary I ever seen. Stones have always been my fav band since 1965. Appreciate you're excellent work.
Cool, thank you for the follow up and letting me know. From a Stones fan for the Stones Fan like yourself, one that can get it and appreciate what was delivered. Hopefully you will check out more.
Thank you K......glad you got this....Got tired of what was out there, and felt they were not getting their due to the newer RnR community. Hopefully you checked out my other ones. Black and Blue is cooking up now....cheers steve
Just finished watching this third part of the Let It Bleed documentary. I was riveted to the screen the entire time. A look back at the past and its society. Exquisite footage! Kudos! 👌
thank you! glad you were able to pick up on this and get my point of views. Something we needed. Getting absorbed into the time period is a must to watch these. cheers, and enjoy the others.
Brilliant work! Thank you FlipsideCT... hope you get to see them on this tour. It won't be the same, but it never really is. Bless and keep on Rolling!
Thanks Paul YW. I will sadly say I will not be seeing them...unless somehow I see them in a smaller venue. It will be very strange without Charlie. I am not sure how they will capture it in the studio also! enjoy!!
Great job Steve you have a great Documentary Voice and a way of holding ones attention. Also a huge Stones fan here and love hearing about there history. Thanks for all your hard work !
YW Dan!! thank you so much for sharing your comments and enjoying this! well appreciated! I am glad you were in sync with me on this. check out the other docs, I am sure you will enjoy them!
Great documentory ! Have seen about every official doc. on the Stones, this one is so goood! lots of pics and film shots I have never seen... many thank-you`s for this great archival work!
thank you Sylvie.....I am with you, as I made it for the fans. Got tired of the BS out there, and figured I needed to spread the word, but my way. Glad you noticed the footage and selections.....all purposely done. appreciate the comments.....enjoy the others
I’ve watched you do the Some Girls documentary and now the let it bleed and i fucking love it! Its crazy how much you know about the stones and everything they did, keep it up man!
Thank you....actually it was more of the Toronto bust I did....Some Girls is being worked on now. check out the Black&Blue, Goats Head and Its Only Rock and Roll.
@@FlipSideCT I was about to say - not that I'm stalking - but I am DEFINITELY waiting for that Some Girls doc. My second most favorite Stones album behind this one.
Thank you GS...well appreciated comments. I am so glad you clicked with me and are in sync with what I put together. Nice! makes my day hearing it! check out the other docs I have done....there are several. Black and Blue is in process now.
Superb work. Thought I knew a lot about the Stones... and then I watched this series. Many thanks for a job well done. I am certain I will watch this many more times. Cheers.
i have always thought let it bleed was one of their best albums, I bought it when it first came out and now I still listen to it often on cd. thank you very much for clearing a lot of missing pieces in that very turbulent time in the rolling stones history.
DE, so well appreciated. They are mostly all wonderful and invigorating. When it first came out.....hmmmmmm.....I can not even imagine that combination of them touring and this coming out and hearing it for the first time. that is great. I also got a lot of pieces cleared up to, believe it or not. I was not ever sure when that Beverly Hilton conference was for one. check out the rest of my channel, you will find more. cheers steve
Amazing compilation of info, footage and photos from arguably the most important period in the bands history. Fantastic work!! Thank you from the bottom of my Rock n Roll heart!
Thank you so much DH......great to hear your RnR comments. It is pretty fun to do when the topic is this perfect. Wanting to preserve and resurrect and turn others that just shut the Stones and their music down and dont get it. cheers steve
Amazing!!!! I watched all 3 parts. I first started listening to Beggar's Banquet thru Sticky Fingers as a teenager in the late 70's. I can't explain why I never got exited about Exile. My spiritual perspective brings me to see the drama and vanity of the Stones as celebrities who were quite self absorbed. On the other hand, I am fascinated that Keith as a junkie could write music for songs like Love in Vain, Moonlight Mile, and Street Fighting Man. Thanks for giving me some unprecedented insights.
thank you for the comments!!! Very glad you got into this and appreciated my intentions. We all need a comprehensive walkthru.....from one Stones fan to many others!! .see my Part 1 Black and Blue now
Steve my man. The depth of insight into the history of the stones and also the delicacy of your take on it is spot on. Let it bleed is the Stones best album except for Exile because thats the album I play the most.. Thankyou for your labour of love you have proved how important music is in our lives. 👍😃🎶🙏
thank you Adrian for your comments and appreciation for the entire subject matter. I love it that Stones heads are happy with my content. It is more then just a timeline I am giving, but more of what/how the Stones are a one time life experience we got to witness and I am glad to share what I did!! cheers
What a fantastic way to complete the series, Steve. I thoroughly enjoyed every second and, as I've said before, it all adds up to being able to hear Let It Bleed with fresh ears. A terrific job, thank you, Ian
Thank you Ian....had to go out with a bang....then again the topic made it easy for me! I, still today, listen to every song like it is my first time. Glad to bring it back to you! cheers my friend, YW steve
Steve, thank you so much for your time and dedication! Bringing this album to life and back to us all is surely brilliance! If only we can get more of this. You have so far a fantastic trilogy going. I am hoping that many others spread the word so others can get a peak at this. It brought the entire timeline into such a clear focus and better understanding of the events that took place. WOW!!!! Encore please!
Well appreciated that you enjoyed this and your comments are very strong and kind! You get the message I wanted folks to walk away with, nice! I do hope more folks get to watch this and find exactly what you did in it. So much work, I have to wait to feel the energy to do another one again. cheers steve
very cool to let me know Darin....appreciate that information and so glad to have increased your knowledge. More to go, and hope you watch many on the channel. cheers
Ok So.. I've just watched all 3 parts. Really well done. Extraordinary. I completely understood at the end when you mentioned all the hours you thought you had put into it.. Amazing.. I relate to that. Just want to say I appreciate it as a viewer. Most and or all of these things about the Let it Bleed album I did not know. Over the years I've focused entirely on the music.. The albums and have enjoyed that aspect which is the most important to me. In regard of the lyrics I don't read them and rarely used to anyway. I prefer to decipher the lyrics for myself. I love when lyrics are unclear and just work out for myself what I think the singer is conveying and then it brings different ideas and images to mind. Remarkable detail you brought to this documentary. As Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and Charlie Watts are huge dominant figures.. I'm only ever looking at them. Ok.. I do notice Ronnie who blends very well with Keith. I have to admit.. I didn't really notice Bill Wyman.. Or Darryl Jones.. Only just now with your documentaries. I was aware of Ronnie Woods and think he is terrific(sorry that relates to the other documentary) Very interesting to find out more about Brian Jones. Actually your documentary has informed/educated me about Mick Taylor as I never realized/knew about him previously. He was very good.. Quiet on stage.. That made him kind of interesting though. I have to admit.. I love when someone is robust on stage.. Has attitude on stage. The way Taylor played that guitar.. Marvelous. Ronnie was a nice fit later though. So your 3 part video has given me a greater insight into that era of the Stones and thank you.
Sorry, I thought I replied to this, but seeing maybe I did not. Great comments and read it all. well put. As a musician and like so many others, listening to song and breaking it down is an art. Hearing all the pieces. Playing a song and focusing just on one instrument or lyrics is important. Listening with headphones to get the real feel. Many people and understandably so do not approach music this way and miss the brilliance, and the Stones bring it consistently. After watching so many other channels and docs, I was not walking away with anything, and decided a fan needed to enlighten other fans much better, and turn them on. So thank you for getting it all!! I have been listening and focusing much more to Ronnie and his contributions. With all the recent Live albums being released, you can hear how fantastic he is. His efforts on the last few studio albums also. I have even thought of doing a Faces doc he is so good. I did get to stand 6 inches from the stage and watch him backup Chuck Berry , and that was mind blowing and ever changing. thanks again for all!!!
@@FlipSideCT Thanks for replying.. Much appreciated. Oh Wow.. Chuck Berry.. Indeed. I actually saw the Stones in 2015 when they came to Sydney. I couldn't afford to go.. But my mum took my sister and myself. We were a bit more than half way up. It was completely surreal and afterwards I was like.. Ok.. "I saw the Stones".. That's an understatement. In regard of live albums.. I don't indulge in them very often these days if at all.. But from time to time I might. The first live album I ever bought was Live After Death.. 1986 On vinyl. Still have it. I've also got Get Ya Ya Ya's Out on vinyl. The first live footage I engaged with properly was GNR Live at the Ritz 1988.. I taped it from MTV on VHS. I think that was before I bought Appetite. Subsequently GNR became my favourite band back in 1991. Gnr are now my sentimental favourite. Yet in the early 90's I decided to pay great attention also to the Stones as those video clips on "rage" had left a big impression on me. I also had discovered Ozzy as well. Yeah.. I think Ronnie is interesting.. He's cool and Keith obviously interacts with Ronnie much more than he did with Taylor. I'm only able to say this now because I watched a whole bunch of live footage on here a few weeks back.. So I was able to work it all out and your documentary helped enormously. Duly noted what you have stated about Ronnie. Studio albums are everything to me. I prefer studio albums to live.. Depending. The way a note/lyric is sung. The instruments. The emotion expressed.. The ideas or feeling provoked/I then acquire from that. It is a subjective journey I go on.. Where a song will take me. Oh.. By the way. I only ever listen to music on headphones these days.. Except in the car. For years I listened on open speaker.. But a few years ago now started to use the apple ear buds. Then discovered Audio Technica and Beyerdynamic.. A different world. Now I can hear everything going on in an album/song. Thanks for your response.
@@midnightcharlieman6669 well said, thanks for this story sharing. Not sure if you caught my Goats HEad Soup doc, but I talk about Brussels Affair.....if you have not looked into that....please do for LIVE. Just do not try to go sleep after....you can't. Izzy Stratlin was more of my speed. I did not go farther then only him. Very cool your mum took you! I wish I could have taken my daughter. Tickets are just way to much. Check my buddy in the Vinyl Community he is down in your area and a super cool guy! his channel is Grandma's Handbag.....if you comment, mention me. thanks for all!!
Loved all three episodes. You asked if it was enjoyed -- it was very much enjoyed. Very rustic production and it works beautifully. Hope you do some more. Cheers, mate :-)
Great MB, thanks so much for letting .me know. A DIY production, but it is the content and turn on pieces I aim to get to the public. Check out my few others, and Black and Blue is now a work in progress
Fantastic. So much work, fun, and knowledge you put in. Never a dull moment and I have read a lot of books and seen lots of documentaries. Thanks for your time :-)
thanks for letting me know Ace....appreciate your comments! I felt we all needed something that we can really learn from and get a feel for what went on....for the fan. enjoy the others!
Thank you MS....I appreciate your comments and especially understanding my product and what I was delivering. As Fans, this is what we need to hear. Hopefully you check out my others...and Black and Blue is work in progress now.
Thank you PM....a passion and labour of love as I mention. It is easy for me to do, but so time consuming. The subject matter is what helps me, and as I made this I was learning plenty also. Check out some other ones I did.....hopefully you will think the same. Thanks, cheers steve
