This Is Where: "Waiting On A Friend" Then & Now | The Rolling Stones
Experience the classic music video "Waiting On A Friend" by The Rolling Stones through the fascinating lens of then and now.
Pop culture historian and host David Lindner guides you through the most iconic locations from this historic 1981 video, sharing insights into the famous shooting locations in Greenwich Village and the reality of 1980s New York versus today.
Released as the second single from their 1981 album "Tattoo You", "Waiting On A Friend" reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and quickly became a pop culture favorite. As Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day says, "It's one of the best songs they've ever written. When you're up in heaven, or wherever you're at, you're just waiting on friends to come along."
So, pull up a front stoop step and enjoy your view into Then & Now: Waiting On A Friend.

    Amazing, I want to go check this place out. Waiting on a Friend is one of my favorite Stones songs. Tattoo You is their best album, in my opinion.

    I was 15 and working my first summer job at my grandfather’s company on Wall st….id take the subway from my dad’s place on the upper East side….my friend and I were all over the city going to concerts,riding the subways,in and out of port authority,scoring nickel bags,going to concerts at the Garden etc…the city was one big playground for us….good times.we somehow never ran into too much “ trouble “ although we certainly tempted it!

    I was sitting in St.Marks Bar and Grill with my girlfriend when someone came in with cameras and asked if we could vacate for a little while. Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts rolled in and bought a round of Beers for the 10 or so people in there and we all stepped outside and watched them film the video.. Im somewhere in that crowd shot outside. Waiting on a Friend is my Favorite video by The Stones for Obvious Reasons.. New York in the 80's was an Amazing time in my Life. You Never knew who or what you would see walking down the block, especially on St.Marks.. Thanks for your Video, brought me back..

    I was 14 when that song came out, and the first time I heard it, it blew right into my soul. I have no idea why, but it made me even then very melancholy, it seemed nostalgic even when it was brand new. To this day, it still takes me somewhere else in my spirit... to the past, to long times gone, to my youth. It makes me even more wistful now, a bit sad at how fast time has gotten away. Few songs have the power to truly mark the passing of your years and retain that same power on at both the early and later parts of your lifetime. This song has that. I truly love it.

    Thanks David for another educational & very interesting video. I’m watching in San Diego & have never experienced the neighborhoods of New York. I also enjoyed your Taxi Driver video, then & now on the streets of New York. Is there any chance you’ll make some more videos? I’ll subscribe, just in case you do, as I think the two I’ve seen are superb!

    9:55 Disagree. Travis is not unhinged when he shoots the armed robber in the convenience store. Travis is cool, calm, and collected when he shoots the unhinged armed robber.

    • @thisiswherethenandnow
      @thisiswherethenandnow Рік тому

      IMO you don't have to be flailing and screaming to become unhinged! However, that's what opinions are all about...

    • @brianwilliams7926
      @brianwilliams7926 Рік тому

      So Travis is in a store and an armed robber is pointing a gun at the owner, demanding money, and acting like a lunatic. The store owner and Travis are supposed to fill up his bag with money and wish him well?! Travis turns the corner in the corner in the store, the assailant begins to point the deadly weapon at him, and so Travis very quickly killed him. Cool, calm, collected and 100% justified. The way the narrator setting up this clip talks, you'd almost think he was suggesting that the armed robber, brandishing the deadly weapon, is the victim!

    • @ManChan-w5p
      @ManChan-w5p Рік тому
