One of my favorites! So glad it was voted fan favorite! One of the best Keith Richards riffs EVER and love Chuck Leavell on keyboards! Thanks for recording this!❤️🎶😀
So cool; grateful for whoever voted on Monkey Man to be performed this night. I was there that night too, which is probably why YT recommended me your video.
You have to know that the vote in thing is fake. I mean, they may take the outcome as a suggestion, but they obviously have the final decision. I knew that when they started the vote in thing in 1997. Example, the other night in Vegas......No true Stones fan would have voted for that weak 90's song You Got Me Rocking over Let it Bleed or All Down The Line. no way, not ever. Bottom line, the Stones wanted to do You got Me Rocking. Nobody likes that song, especially true Stones fans
@@tyristori Well, yes and no. Im a true fan, seen them in concert 60 times, going on 62, starting in 1975. Nobody can tell me I'm not a true fan. But there are definitely songs I do not like, like with every band. Of the post 81 efforts theres plenty not to like. I do not like You got me Rocking, for example. But theres also plenty to like, such as Out of Control or One More Shot. This latest album is excellent, btw.
@@jeffwatts1126Surely not every song is a masterpiece, it is only rock n roll. but it is nice to hear some less played songs too. Live versions are different arrangement and even a weaker song can transform into something. I have always liked Love Is Strong and You Got Me Rocking (Voodoo Lounge tour was the first one for me, so to me it is also significant era) although I would not probably vote for it.
And forever will be, because they are rock and roll purists: no psychedelic sound effects, no unnecessary additives. Richards, Jones, Taylor, Wod ALL ind bending guitarists beyond imagination.
The Killer rhythm section was Charlie & Bill. Now a replacement drummer hits too hard without subtlety as a backdrop for keith omitting an ever increasing number of integral, required chord changes.
@@reluctantblumpkin you're not wrong about the train that we're spotting that is getting long in the tooth and at this point it's what works is a miracle.
I'll be seeing them in a few weeks, and I really wish they'd make "Monkey Man" a regular item in the set list. (They played it every night, or nearly so, on the *Voodoo Lounge* tour thirty years ago.) Watching videos from the gigs so far, I've noticed that they're strictly phoning in old standards like "Sympathy for the Devil" and "Miss You." And I don't fault them: I'd be tired of playing the same songs decade after decade, too. But everyone sounds totally engaged on this number--especially Keith--and it's fun to hear.
The sad thing is... The majority of the people are clueless to 'Monkey Man' Play 'Start Me Up' and they all go nuts. Ask the majority of the people who Mick Taylor is and they're clueless once again.
@@danhurd9864 I'm talking about the average fan at that concert and probably most on that tour. How many die hard knowledgeable Stones fans are in that crowd? Probably not many. It's true, Stones concerts for years have always been a "happening place to be" for a lot of people. That means you'll always have the ones that can only tell you the "radio hits" and couldn't tell you anything about the Mick Taylor era or who's Bobby Keys (rip) or Ian Stewart (rip)
@@josehborba3004 No ....they really don't sound great....Keith is lost and physically weak. The bass and drums don't have the "soul" they did. Nuances....pal....nuances.
❤😂sso sorry Let it bleed is the best Stones ( i bought it in 71 for my father!) But i don't like the sound of the drum now...sometimes a little " critique " in french❤
They’ve lost that bite and power .. i know they’re old men but they’re a pale imitation of what used to be . How many times does Keef fuck up the introduction to Start me up 🤷♂️
