This is one of their hidden gems 💎 ✨️, they rarely play this in concert 🎉🎉 This is a tasty treat. This song takes you on a musical journey 🎉🎉 The Stones are definitely coming in hot 🔥 on this one. I I love their vintage music 🎉🎉
I saw them perform this song in 1989 at the New Orleans Super Dome. One of the top moments for me. The entire concert was fantastic. Saw the '81 Tour in New Orleans as well ...not so much
Mick has the physical strength and balance of a man of 21 and one who is a gymnast. Pretty, pretty, pretty Incredible!!! Each time that I watch his opening "Dance" routine, I, strongly, get the sense that Mick is deeply channeling David Bowie in his emotional interpretation of 2000 Light Years w/o saying a single word. Using, only, his facial and bodily expressions to tell the tale.
Yes, can almost hear Bowie covering this one. It has at least half of the Space Oddity theme, and could preface his Hello Spaceboy. But this performance naturally precedes Bowie's 1990s adventures into schizoid-art
Saw same tour at LA Coliseum. Clapton came on stage for Little Red Rooster. Opening acts were Living Colour and Guns N Roses. A splendid time was had by all.
@@frankfrank7921 It was mind blowing when they played 2000 Light Years From Home. Living Color opened for them @ Shay. I think Little Red Rooster featuring Clapton came out on the Flash Point CD.. It must have been awesome to have seen Runs N Roses with The Stones --- Cool !!!
it's kinda sad, because Kieth,Mick said this was lighting in a bottle ,but he wishes they didn't trip as much much of the music suffered,1967 lost year he says. i dig this!!!
@@charlesdellorusso3761it wasn't a lost year . Between the buttons and Their Satanic Majesties. Ruby Tuesday, Let's spend the night together and We love you
I dreamed I was back in Bangkok last night, I went over to my lifelong buddy's (Doug) place in BKK. (we are Canadians, and we both have Thai wives, and we're all going back to BKK soon), in my dream when I got to Doug's place he was playing this song.....I had to look it up and listen to it ...Haven't heard it for years...What a Stoney dream EH.....
My mind would melt if they played this 2024. As an aside (dear diary) I just saw em in Orlando a few weeks ago and traveling to Vancouver to catch their last show in North America. It’ll be my 9th Stones show. My goal is to see em 10x before it’s too late 🤙🏻
2000 Light Years From Home The Rolling Stones Produced by The Rolling Stones Album: Their Satanic Majesties Request [Verse 1] Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion We're setting off with soft explosion Bound for a star with fiery oceans It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home Freezing red deserts turn to dark Energy here in every part It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home [Chorus] It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home [Verse 2] Bell flight fourteen you now can land See you on Aldebaran, safe on the green desert sand It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home Written By: Keith Richards & Mick Jagger Release Date: December 8, 1967
And oh how they danced The little children of Stonehenge Beneath the haunted moon For fear that daybreak might come too soon And where are they now? The little people of Stonehenge And what would they say to us? If we were here, tonight

That's a rare one for live. Saw them twice on this tour but don't recall this. I think it was the last tour with Bill, so glad I got to see them with him. Nice keyboars from Matt and Chuck,
Jones just did not write songs, and that more than anything caused him to lag behind the other guys’ musical maturing. Mick and Keith went from covering blues standards they heard on US-import LPs to writing chart topping hits one after another, and with a completely original sound. Still, it was Brian’s spirit that created the Stones. He was the Roman candle that for a moment burned so bright. But he could not last.
Sus satánicas majestades fue un álbum muy especial para la época en el que fue elaborado, si te sumerges en el álbum deberás tener en cuenta cambiar tu estado mental para poder disfrutar de mejor manera.
My dad was a small time party promoter he paid the stones 1800$ to play at the memorial auditorium couldn’t sell the tickets and lost his ass . They stayed w us cause they were poor . I was 3 I remember sitting in Laps of them looking at faces thinking weird things as child lol
I'm not sure if it is the heavy use of the mellotron, or the fact that they are both about futuristic space travel or just that they were both released within a year of each other, but this song always reminds me of the movie Barbarella. Anyone else feel the connection?
In the original, it starts out 100 light years and every refrain notches it up until we hit 2000 light years. Also, these videos need to list credits. for this show in Tokyo - that is Eric Clapton on keyboards, at least for some of the songs. I do love this song, and of course the Stones can sing it however they want!
Eric Clapton never played keys for the Stones. He did a guest appearance on guitar in Atlantic city, that's all. Chuck Leavell and Matt Clifford covered keys throughout the tour.
why did this track remain so earthbound? why was it not elaborated....made to last longer with sax, violins, and multiple guitars, varied percussion.... please revise.
I’ve been listening to The Rolling Stones since the inception of the stones when Mick and Brian had it out and Brian screwed up BAD when he walked away in 69 and unfortunately Jones passed later that year...with the replacement of Taylor by the great Ron Wood that band just doesn’t give us...the original band technically after the shape up with Jagger, Richard(s) Ron Wood and Charlie Watts and Wyman and they just kept getting better and better but the end of this song did not have to be added...that just shows the filth Jagger and friends let creep up in the band...and a few other live moves they made..I’m sure most don’t care what the stones do but they will be in the 90’s soon and they should slow it down a touch...well not the stones because it’s their music that makes the band...and I wonder how many people has lipps on everything around their house?? It’s all good in the end...
Looking at the detailed chronology in early 1967, it appears that the Rolling Stones broke the ice for Pink Floyd with the album Satanic Majesties Request (hence the initial rejection of this splendid album, as Pink Floyd, just before that time, was not viewed as "music")
@mtopper66 Thanks for correcting me. I was just talking in the more general world setting: not everybody lives in the UK, Pink Floyd was viewed initially as a small tentative band with a new sort of music. Whereas the superstar Rolling Stones had been playing this kind of music too, to some extent, for quite a while: theremins are used in Between the Buttons (January 1967), prior to Arnold Layne (March 1967) and Satanic. The electronic turn of the Stones caused a scandal at the time, some Stones fans wanted to sell their entire vinyl collection. The Pink Floyd sound was more futuristic but there too Brian Jones had introduced fancy and wonderful instruments in preceding years... as early as the Not Fade Away cover in 1964, with a theremin. That's what I meant by breaking the ice (of new sound). The Beatles and The Who played their part too. Even the Beach Boys in Good Vibrations and The Monkeys used electronic instruments. And as far as Pink Floyd not being music, they were refused payment for a performance just for that, sued, and lost, because the British judge found that, indeed, what Pink Floyd did, was not music...
Mick Forever!!..did you hear those beautiful Stones references by the keyboard playeer in the intro.Aaargh..The Greatest Rock n Roll band Ever...better with Wyman of course...eejits.
