The second half of this was an unplanned, spontaneous jam, captured as they played it. They had finished the “main” part of the song and most of the musicians put down their instruments, but Mick Taylor (on guitar), Charlie Watts (drums) and Rocky (percussion) kept going with a totally different groove. Everyone else joined in, and fortunately the control room kept the tape rolling. Amazing
@@patrickarts9091 Not on this tune. This was recorded at Olympic Studios in London. Only Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, and You Gotta Move were recorded at Muscle Shoals. The rest of the tracks on Sticky Fingers were recorded back in England at Olympic or at their Stargroves manor with the mobile studio
He definitely brought immaculate technique and feel that brought the entire band up a notch. Let It Bleed was a great record , but you see the difference on this album , Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St , Goat Heads Soup and of course the tours of 72 and 73 are legendary. The Brussels shows in 73 show how great Taylor was live and he also played in a band with Billy Preston that opened for some of the Stones performances that tour. There is a live album that is great. Mainly cover tunes but it’s funky.
This is the Mick Taylor era. Lot's of folks think he was their best guitarist. The look on your faces was priceless. I've seen them live 6 times. Even brought my teenage (at the time) daughter. Always a blast. Thanks for the reaction.
Keith Richard's hard riff, the late Bobby Keys, from Texas, on sax, and Mick Taylor on lead guitar. This was my favorite incarnation of the Stones. Mick Taylor could take them to another level. I suggest Sister Morphine, from the same album, originally written for and sung by Mick's girlfriend at the time Marianne Faithful. Ry Crowder played a wicked slide guitar on the Stones version of 5hise song.
Bobby and Keith did every thing illegal when they were together and if they did something that was not illegal, ,it was a huge mistake ....Taylor was a huge boost to the Stones ..
The unsung hero of this era was their producer, Jimmy Miller. You can hear his effect by listening to anything he did, with the stuff recorded before him. Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Goats Head Soup.
So many styles that these guys mastered, and always dripping in style when they were doing it. Lyrically 'Sympathy For The Devil' is one of the greatest songs in rock.
They recorded Sympathy June 4, 1968. "and I shouted out 'who killed Kennedy?' The next day June 5, 1968 Robert Kennedy was assassinated.... 'and I shouted out who killed the Kennedys? when afterall it was you and me"
Got to note Glyn Johns (and Andy Johns) engineering on this. No wonder the tape kept on rolling. They recorded everything. Hats off to Mick Taylor for the epic solo.
I was in the service 1979-83. There was a MSgt who used to sing the lyrics to Paint It Black nearly every day. He would be right in the middle of instructing us on something and break into “ I see a red door and I want to paint it black “. Used to amaze me that he was that cool. Not many instructors were that loose. This song brought back that fond memory, and your comment did too.
Sympathy for the Devil, Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, Heartbreaker, Satisfaction, Can't Always Get What You Want...tons more...the Stones have a huge catalog. Albums- Sticky Fingers (had a functioning zipper on the original LP covers from 1971) & Exile on Main Street are some good ones.
You guys want a deep cut, you say? Try "Moonlight Mile" from this same album. Completely different feel from what you just heard, they're a highly diverse group.
Deeper cuts besides those listed below try Midnight Rambler, Time Waits for No One, or Bitch. I’d love to see your reaction to Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker). Really enjoyed the reaction
If you guys choose to do the album, maybe consider listening to a full side at a time, rather than track by track. It's a double album, and a lot of the songs are more of a vibe than solid stand alone tracks. It's not Houses Of The Holy, you know? It's more like a drunken ride through the countryside.
@justinatest I just mentioned Exile before seeing your post. As I wrote, I was a massive fan in HS 1973. Friends of mine were Yes fans and would tell me how they would out last the Stones. Of course I argued the point.
you have the Album right in front of you Sticky Fingers Brown Sugar Sway Wild Horses Can't You Hear Me Knocking You Gotta Move Bitch I Got The Blues Sister Morphine Dead Flowers Moonlight Mile GREAT ALBUM thanks
I was 13 years old in Durban South Africa when I heard this album. My older sisters were buying LPs with their pocket money. The cover is iconic. We also had Goats Head Soup, Hot Rocks and Let it Bleed.
It's hard to beat this song to get introduced to the Stones. It's my favorite of theirs. The groove is undeniable. The way the band just keeps going is so cool.
Many people consider this among the albums made during the era of their peak creative input/output. Let it Bleed, Exile on Main Street, It's only Rock and Roll among the many others from '67-'77.
This was Keith and Mick's nod to Carlos Santana. Mick Taylor definitely captured the flavor in his solo. You MUST make your way to Sympathy for the Devil!
Bobby Keys on sax, Rocky Dijon on percussion, Billy Preston on organ, and Mick Taylor on lead had just joined the Stones after the death of Brian Jones. (The jam at the end) just happened because it was never planned. At the end of the song Taylor just felt like carrying on playing, and everyone just jumped back in and kept the jam session going. Just flowing with the groove. Now that's Rock & roll, and why The Rolling Stone's are so Iconic. Great choice guys. Give "Bitch' or 'Monkey Man' a listen.
From '68 to '72 they were at their peak for me, every song! Don't miss Love In Vain and Midnight Rambler from Get Yer Ya Yas Out. Full album, go for Exile On Main Street.
One of my faves by the Stones! Check out "19th Nervous Breakdown," "Get Off My Cloud" or "Mother's Little Helper." Whatever you react to by the Stones will be fun.
The Stones were second, only to the Beatles, during the early to late 1960s...after the Beatles broke up, the Stones assumed the RockThrone, and stayed there for another 5 years or so. Keith Richards is still alive...even though he looked like a cadaver 40 years ago!
@@curbozerboomer1773 I was very young then, but I remember, having had 3 older siblings. Their "Hot Rocks" greatest hits from '71 was worn out in our house. Cadaver is perfect description.. lol
The loss of Charlie Watts was truly THE END of an era : Charlie was the last link between the "swing era" big band drummers and the Rock era. Charlie could do a Swing Groove, a Blues Groove, a Jazz Groove or a Hard Rockin' Beat. He was proof that Less Is More ... A boxer that throws few punches , but lands devastating hits 😎
Albums......Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street, Goats Head Soup, Tattoo You, Get yer Ya Yas out {live}, Black and Blue, Emotional Rescue, and about 30 others. No matter what kind of music you want, the Stones did it at one point or another.
What a fucking dopamine trip it was to see you men discover The Rolling Stones for the first time. What a rush. God bless you both and cheers to new rock music discoveries!
Mick is a shaman. He will mesmerize you right along with the music. They have so many vibes, this will be a fun ride. Edit - their deep cuts are as strong as the hits, there are no bad ones
Old Stones was Satisfaction and Let's Spend the Night Together and Paint it Black and my favorite oldie of theirs, 19th Nervous Breakdown. That one rocks HARD!
Remember the Stones had an extremely long career. Early 60s r 'n' b Stones is different to mid sixties pop era Stones is different to early seventies hard rock Stones. This is probably the most extended instrumental jam they ever did, so not altogether typical. Golden era was the three consecutive albums Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street ( in my opinion ! )
Greatness. This album, ‘Sticky Fingers’, is a great one for you to do. ‘Exile On Main St’ though, may be their best. It’s a double album, recorded mostly in Keith Richards’ basement, that covers many styles, and shows them at their comfortable best. Jagger and Richards challenged each other to come up with a new idea every night for the band to work on. It gets you slowly and doesn’t let go. It’s the album I always come back to, but there was a 5-year, 4 album streak the Stones had from 1968-‘72 (‘Beggars Banquet’, ‘Let It Bleed’, ‘Sticky Fingers’, and ‘Exile On Main St’), that may be the greatest streak in history. The Beatles broke up, and the Stones hit their peak. Amazing.
Gimme shelter is probably the next song. Then maybe Tumblin' dice. They had four albums in a row that are widely considered their best. Beggars banquet, Let it bleed, Sticky fingers and Exile on main st. Exile is my favorite. Some girls is also a classic album.
"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is a track by English rock band the Rolling Stones from their 1971 album Sticky Fingers. The track is over seven minutes long, and begins with a Keith Richards open-G tuned guitar intro. The main song lasts for two minutes and 43 seconds, after which it transforms into an extended improvisational jam. The entire track was captured in one take, with the jam being a happy accident; the band had assumed the tape machine had been stopped, and were surprised to find the entire session had been captured. Originally they were going to end the song before the jam started, but were so pleased with the jam that they decided to keep it in. Besides the regular Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger (vocals), Keith Richards (guitar), Mick Taylor (guitar), Charlie Watts (drum), and Bill Wyman (bass), the track also features conga player Rocky Dijon, saxophonist Bobby Keys, organist Billy Preston and additional percussion by producer Jimmy Miller.

This was an awesome choice for your introduction to the Stones. I could see your minds being blown as the song progressed. Another underplayed Rolling Stones song that you will enjoy is "Monkey Man". Thanks for your reactions, you two are doing a great job.
I would include Flowers, Beggar's Banquet and Sticky Fingers in there, equally outrageously great, and Get Yer Ya-Ya's out was an awesome live album! Sorry, I'm 70 and very fond of those songs from my teenage years, and hate to see them sold short! I feel they peaked twice, Beggars Banquet in 1968, when I was a freshman in high school, and Exile On Main Street in 1972, ready to start college.
As far as lead guitar goes, I think the Mick Taylor years were the best - but he was featured more frequently in his previous band when he was playing with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
Just listening to Goats Head soup, Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed & Exile on Mainstreet, they’re so diverse and epic and so many great songs with so different types. I love them!!!
Keith Richards and his riffs….he plays to benefit of the song and he blends it seamlessly. The more you listen to the Stones the more his genius stands out.
Six decades later and this sounds as good as it did 'back in the day'. The Rolling Stones aren't just a Band. They are an Institution of musical History. I wonder what Band, Singer from TODAY will still be popular in the next 60 years?! This took a turn from Rock+Roll into a NEW vibe. Love it and love your enthusiasm. 👍🏻🤘
You guys are phenomenal. Love the way you review music. Your content is filled with the world's finest Art and your experience to it. Little commentary is the way to do it. Music simply captures a feeling. Sometimes words aren't even necessary. As you can "see" the music
Mick Taylor from John Mayall's Bluesbreaker to Rolling Stones to solo work he was a stellar lead guitarist. Jim Price (trumpet, piano) & Bobby Keyes (saxophone) were a solid horn section. Bobby said Jim always knew how to arrange their instruments to sound like it was a much bigger section. Funny story, Keith & Bobby were in a hotel bathroom getting high when their manager started pounding on the door saying that The Police were there, freaked out, they flushed their stuff down the toilet, when they opened the door to Sting, Andy Summers & Stewart Copeland (The Police) standing there with their manager laughing.
Knowing and loving this funky-ass song as I do, when y'all said you've been looking forward to doing the Stones, cos u heard they were huge and all, but didn't hardly know what they were about, I began rubbing my hands together and went "Oh, my! THIS is gonna be good!" LOL, from y'all's expressions and head-bobbing only three minutes in, my expectations have already been exceeded! One of the filthier songs the Stones ever came up with--great start!
Great song from a great album, Sticky Fingers. Mick Taylor on lead guitar. Bobby Keys on sax. "Time Waits For No One" is another one you'd like. The Stones have a HUGE music catalog; glad you're checking them out. Hope you also check out some of their other albums like Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed.
Good reaction but the best reaction I have seen was from my Asian 8th grade math teacher Mr. Lee, who had us listen to classical music once a week. He was a good teacher he gave you no choice but learn! I wasn't one of the "normal" kids & was able to talk him into letting me bring in a song & this is what I picked It had just come out), he was impressed. If you learned math...Yes I am getting old.
What's amazing about this song is the whole last half of this song. That it was all improvised when Mick Taylor kept playing through the end and the other members picked up and jammed the whole ending. Kudos to Mick Taylor.
You're spoiled with this one as your first Rolling Stone song. This is one of their best ever. With that said (and I love the Stones), most of the rest of their discography is more straightforward. This song is one of their different gems. There are others but this one is special.
BTW- the Stones album "Their Satanic Majesties Request" was partially produced (the only good tune on the album - "She's a Rainbow") by JPJ - Yeah, him, John Paul Jones before he was in Led Zepplin. Afterwards they were looking for a new full time producer and decided on Jimmy Miller (who produced this album) who was recomennded by Glyn Johns, Led Zeppelin's producer. Mick Taylor- who replaced Brain Jones on guitar was in John Mayalls Bluesbreakers. Which at times also included Eric Clapton and Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie- who actually started Fleetwood Mac. Mick Taylor was replaced by Ron Wood who was in the band The Small Faces with Rod Stewart. British musicians are very incestual lol.
That's Bobby Keys on sax. You guys should read Keith Richards bio. A psychotic and fantastic ride into the world of rock music. As wild as Richards is, he's a devoted musician and artist to the bone.
Mick Jagger was really just a tiny albino black man with an alien huge mouth without any reservations. Not the best live band, but they have an amazing history and catalog. And always gave props to black R&B roots. Stones were definitely unique. The dirty version of The Who.
The instrumental is soul music by billy Preston and Bobby Keyes. the track also features conga player Rocky Dijon, saxophonist Bobby Keys, organist Billy Preston
