I'd just like to randomly request Underworld by Chequered Past. The live video on here is nuts. It's a super group of punk and glam rockers that went nowhere,big time
This song ,... you need to listen to the original version , I always get a knot in my throat at the first notes of the guitar and the Sax...I'm not really sure if is a sax or any other instrument that sounds like it , but it is beautiful.
I was gonna say 1967-68 ... Brian Jones is in the video . He died 1969 ... My favorite song is "Let's Spend The Night Together " A close second is "Wild Horses"
@@mgman6000 I agree. I saw them late 70s they were a garage band and only played for 40 mins. The " get yer ya yas out" album has some select live cuts. But for the most part it wasn't til the 90s ( steel wheels tour) that their live shows were excellent
I sent Jamel the movie. This song was at the funeral in the movie. I quote this line all the time when the computer users I support whine about the software limitations. Around this time frame, Jagger went to Tina Turner and she taught him how to dance. That's why he got better.
This is 1968. They'd been around for about 6/7 years at that point. This was the last big thing the original line-up did. Yeah, that was John Lennon. He performed earlier with a make-shift band called The Dirty Mac that had Eric Clapton on lead guitar, Keith Richards on bass, and Mitch Mitchell (drummer of the Jimi Hendrix Experience).
Jamel, you have to listen to the studio version. This live version doesn't have the choir, the horns, and has a different feel altogether. The studio version will blow you away!
Been waiting ages for the Stones. So many great tunes. This is nowhere near the best version or performance of this song. Totally agree that the choir & horns take this song to another level. If you like the stripped down version that's fine but I don't think it works that well on this song.
This version is from "The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus" in December 1968. It featured other acts as well (including The Who and John Lennon) but the Stones were not happy with their performance and it remained unreleased for 28 years. The band were formed in 1962 so while they were young, they had already released several classic singles and albums by this stage. The studio version of the song is the one to listen to. It's on the LET IT BLEED album.
My dad died this week in 2017. On the 27th actually. He was a child of the 60s and he loved the stones and in particular, this track. We played this at his funeral per his request. It’s an odd song once you actually dig into the lyrics but the line was in his obit and he always used to tell me this growing up. I think the words have absolutely gotten me thru some times. What a crazy week to react to this. Love the channel jamel - big fan. Keep on keepin’ on.
My dad died NEXT week, 2017. He was a huge fan of this song, we both loved The Big Chill so I really wish this was the studio version. Big Love man, sending you strength through this "holiday" time. Right there with you in spirit.
This song got me through a seriously tough time, worst of my life. I was in such a bad state, I couldn't even listen to music for a few months, this was the first song I played. It brings me peace now, every time.
I know that losing that election with McCain had to have been devastating.... ;-) [but, seriously, glad to hear you came out the other side of whatever happened]
Next reaction: “Alice’s Restaurant” by Arlo Guthrie for Thanksgiving! It’s a Thanksgiving tradition!!! Rock stations all across America always played this on Thanksgiving. :)
OMG, this is a GREAT RECO!! I agree COMPLETELY. Jamel, PLEASE check out Argo Guthrie. He will lead you down a whole folk music rabbit hole. Alice’s Restaurant was also a movie which, in my opinion, was very cool. My dad used to play Arlo and Woody for me as a kid. 👍💖
Woody Guthrie was one of Bob Dylan's mentors. Dylan just showed up at a hospital that Woody was in and visited him and they didn't even know each other yet.
Yes. Played every Thanksgiving for past 50 years. Arlo retired as he had a stroke. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--yLg_bzwvxg.html Since it is classic comedy, he could play it on his other channel.
My sons who are your age, know this as the "going home" song from Thanksgiving dinner with their grandparents. You'll love it! It is long, but it is definite tradition! Arlo Guthrie recently retired from concerts and such due to medical issues and the pandemic. He's still on FB and has always been very approachable. His father was a famous folk singer too. :)
@@JulioLeonFandinho wrong ... This version has NO freakin' Dynamics... If You still prefer this "bare bones" version ... how sad for you. nasty ???? You've got Monkey Man & Gimme Shelter. Don't You want Your Musical Artists to grow ? Or just stay, "a One Trick Pony" ???
This entire show they did is one of the most amazing performances in rock history. “the rock and roll circus”. The performance of “sympathy for the devil” from this show is off the hook.
Oh yeah. My husband and I would sing this to our kids all thru their childhood when they would start their "I want" routines. Fun days. EVERYBODY knew that song back in the day and many still do. It's a rock classic..
I would sing it to my kindergarten students . They were used to getting their own way by whining to manipulate the adults. They loved it when I sang anything! Music has a powerful connection to our emotions.
@@luckymustard My favorite Who song is "Love Reign O'er Me" but my favorite live performance by The Who is "A Quick One" at The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. It's stunningly great!
Anything from” Let It Bleed “ or “Beggars Banquet “ will do it for me. IMO the two best Stones albums period. The studio versions of two classic albums is were you need to go.
I've been fortunate enough to see them in concert twice. They're awesome live! Outdoor arenas with massive stages. Mick running all over the stage like a teenager. The man doesn't age. Have a lovely day Jamel 🌻Long live the Stones 😛
This was for taped in December 1968 (so they're about five years old here) for a special called 'The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus'. It has several big bands like The Who, Jethro Tull, and a supergroup of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and the drummer for Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't actually released until 1995 because the stones performance was outshined by the who.
Growing up my father would tell me this every time that I was upset. And years later I am grateful that those simple lyrics were more than true. My father passed about 5 years ago now and every time I see this song pop up I know it’s him telling me he’s watching. I love you Dad.
Oh yes. That'll be 1968, I think. Rock and Roll Circus. In all honesty, the studio version is a lot better. It's a hard song to do live without a big choir.
This is early early, with Brian Jones on the gold guitar. He was the founder of the band and was found at the bottom of a swimming pool. One of the first members of the "27 Club", rock artists that died at age 27. Also as others say, for sure check out the studio version, it's pretty powerful.
I got so excited for this, maybe my favorite Stones song, but I was not expecting this. I've not seen this before, it was interesting, but you must listen to the studio version now, you'll be amazed, it's like a totally different song almost.
That video was filmed in 1968 as part of “The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus” for British Television, which featured the Stones and other bands. But, the Stones were unhappy with the finished product (especially their performance) so they refused to let it air. The program wasn’t finally commercially released until 1996.
Oh man, Brian was still alive. My friend saw the "Let it Bleed" tour in the winter of 69 & she said they were throwing hits of acid out into the audience. She had a fun time. lol
This is cool version. Thanks for doing this reaction. This footage is from their Rock & Roll Circus show. I have to mention that the real standout from the Rock & Roll Circus show was The Who performing A Quick One While He’s Away. It’s incredible. You gotta check it out.
This was from the film the Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus, which they never released until about 40 years later because they were miffed that the Who blew them out of the water with their performance.
Yeah and I remember that movie well I think I was 11 but It had a major impact on me not just musically. I believe it's the scene of Alex's funeral to start the film. Thanks for reminding me of that great film and have a GREAT DAY Mark
From the Rock and Roll Circus event, LONG ago (1968) with the late great Nicky Hopkins on piano. The Stones were actually formed in '64 or '65, I believe. This song is on their "Let It Bleed" album.
This is 1968, as part of "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus " concert film that featured other artists as well. The song came out on the 1969 "Let It Bleed" album.
I’ve been teaching economics for 20 years and always start the year with this song. Fun fact: Mick was attending the London School of Economics when he thought he would give rock and roll a try!
This was recorded in late 1968; the Stones formed back in 1962. They had put out quite a few albums by this time, and it marked the end of the Brian Jones (purple jacket) era.
Should have mentioned that my three year old son (now in his mid 40's) once sang out the lyrics to Rod Stewart's Hot Legs in a pretty crowded store. Just the last couple lines including the words "p%##y whipped". I didn't know he had even heard the song, let alone knew any of the words in the song. I got a lot of nasty looks. Wasn't my fault they were playing the Muzak version (instrumental) over their speaker system. I was pretty embarrassed but it was funny. :)
Thank you For being you Jamal.. your smile you laugh makes a crappy day better.. 50 year old me sometimes needs a distraction and your reviews are it. Thank you and keep up the smiles
"You Can't Always Get What You Want" was the first song recorded for the album. It exists in two versions, a 4:51 single mix and a 7:28 album mix. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was recorded on 16 and 17 November 1968 at Olympic Sound Studios in London
This is December 1968 for a tv special called The Rolling Stone's "Rock and Roll Circus." Many performers were on the bill including: Jethro Tull, The Who, John Lennon, etc. They were the last to perform. This was probrably five in the morning.
Hey just want to thank you for all the videos you put up & comment, I think your going a hell of a job!! Some groups or singers I may not like so I just don't watch but for the most part I enjoy watching you & your videos & I always love your reactions!! They are time less!! Take care & keep up what you do!! Peace out✌️
Hi Jamal, so happy to see your face today. Its been a really long and stressful day at the hospital where I work and you helped to ease my nerves. God Bless you my friend
"The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who did the Beatles film "Let It Be". Lindsay-Hogg also directed many Beatles and Rolling Stones music videos as well.
I saw the stones in their first visit to Milwaukee (1964). They were at the Milwaukee auditorium. Ticket price $7.50 and that was for the front row! Only about 500 people showed up.
Hi Jamel, Love the channel!!!! Thank you for bringing back great childhood memories!!!! I appreciate the positive message. Happy and safe Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Here in 1968, the boys were working out the kinks of a potentially great new song. It turned to be the song the Stones selected to be the grand finale to my favorite Rolling Stones album, 1969's "Let It Bleed." The song totally summed up the '60s era, and the version for that album is double the length of this filmed version. It features a children's choir followed by a lovely and very classical French horn solo, then a gorgeous acoustic introduction beginning, which builds into an ever-more-powerful electric rock with great piano and organ parts, and finally ends in a powerful musical climax with a large mixed choir. Please do yourself (and us) a favor and react to the "Let it Bleed" version of the song. You (and your followers) won't be disappointed.
This song is about going to a methadone clinic. Lquid methadone was "cherry red". Mr. Jimmy was a friend of the Stones. Heroin was somewhat decriminalized, but junkies had to switch to methadone. They wanted heroin, but needed methadone. Applies to much of life.
I love this video, which I happened to stumble upon a few months ago, of the Rolling Stones. Their band was formed in 1962 and this was filmed in 1968. One of the things I really like about it is that Brian Jones (the blonde guitarist on the stage next to Mick) is still alive at this point. He was such an integral part of their band when they began. And was supposed to be a very talented musician who could play many different instruments. His story is the all to often tragic story of rock stars. He started using drugs quite heavily and eventually the band was having a lot of trouble with him because of it. The band dismissed him in 1969, and one month later he was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool.
Hey Jamel. This performance was part of a special concert called "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" held in December, 1968. The concert was filmed, and was originally slated to be broadcast on the BBC. However, the Rolling Stones themselves blocked it from being released because they felt that their own performances on the program were sub-standard, which was a real shame for the general public because some of their special guests put on amazingly good performances. The Who did their very first "rock opera" concept song, "A Quick One (While He's Away)", in its entirety. Jethro Tull performed for the very first (and only) time with their new lead guitarist, Tony Iommi (who then left Tull and went back to his mates Ozzy, Geezer and Bill to form Black Sabbath). A one-time "supergroup" got together for this one performance, and called themselves "The Dirty Mac": John Lennon (from the Beatles) on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Eric Clapton (formerly from Cream) on lead guitar, Keith Richards (from the Rolling Stones) on bass, and Mitch Mitchell (from the Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums performing "Yer Blues" from the Beatles' "White Album", their latest release at the time. On a sad note, this was the last live performance with the Rolling Stones by founder member blond guitarist Brian Jones. He was fired from the Stones not long after, and was soon found dead in his swimming pool. That may have contributed to the reasons why the film of the show was not released... This CAN be considered "early" Stones/Jagger, but it's kind of a stretch. It is the VERY LAST bit of "early", because they'd been around for several years already, had many hits. The following year, they'd hire guitarist Mick Taylor to replace Jones, launching them into their "peak" phase.
There's a live version of this song from an archive release called The Brussels Affair. It's a concert from 1973 which was (to me anyway) the absolute prime of the Stones. They were coming off the greatest streak of album releases of all time (Beggars Banquet / Let It Bleed / Sticky Fingers / Exile On Main St) and absolutely killing it live. Completely from another universe. I'd say that's the greatest live version they've released of what I consider one of their best songs ever. Would absolutely love to see you react to that!
