In my top five all time favorite Rolling Stone songs. It's rare to hear this in concert. I've seen them seven times, and only heard it twice live. Lucky me! (Sympathy for the Devil is another epic Stones song rarely played live)
Great reaction to a great song. Stones may not be the most popular to react to but they are truly the best rock and roll band . From rock to blues and everything in between their back catalog is widely unknown by the casual listener , but is immense and fantastic.
This song was much shorter; they'd stopped playing, rounding off with an impromptu jam in climactic bursts; they’d decided to put on tape a seven-minute masterpiece that would stand as a definitive showpiece of Mick Taylor’s supple talents as a guitarist with Bobby Keys Sax playing. Magic can happen when you're just fooling around if you're as talented as the Rolling Stones. Great jam, and great commentary. Thanks Shawn.
Arguably their best song for me, at the very least, one of their very best. They just let the tape roll on the 2nd half and thank god they did, as soon as you hear this song you are amazed and an immediate fan of the Rolling Stones. For another great jam from them, do Midnight Rambler, more classic Stones. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎷🎶
Agreed!@@doriwiljt When they play this live, the jam session seems to go on forever, thankfully. Including Sympathy for the Devil, when they let loose and jam... brilliant!
YAY! Thank you for reacting to my favorite Stones song. My favorite Stone was drummer Charlie Watts, May he R.I.P. Charlie was a jazz musician, and had once said he wouldn't play Rock 'n Roll!! He would often walk into a jazz club and just play the drums along with whoever the act was for the night!! ✌️🤘🎶
Bobby Keys on saxophone, from Lubbock, Texas. He used to watch Buddy Holly practice in the garage when he was a kid. He was with Delaney and Bonnie when Derek and The Dominos were in the band, about a year before this, and they played a song named “Pigmy”, from a chord progression by Bobby Whitlock, the organist. At the break of “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking?” Bobby Keys starts playing around “Pigmy” progression and the rest is history. Rocky Dijon played the congas on “Sympathy For The Devil”. Keith Richards, Bobby Keys’ buddy, born on the same day, played the sick chords that started the song and Mick Taylor played the sick lead in the second half. Jimmy Miller was more than just a producer. He played drums on a few tracks, handclaps, tambourines, and had to quit after a few years when the drugs got out of hand.
Keith was holding down the fort but Mick Taylor was lead guitar in a lot of this stuff at that time, and he was so good. I got to see him sit in once with Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. He was playing steel guitar and the combination with Ten Years After was just fire.
@stevedahlberg8680 is right. Mick Taylor plays lead guitar, Keith Richard plays the rhythm part. If your speakers are connected correctly you will hear Mick Taylor on the left and Keith Richards on the right. That's the case with every album. Very nice to hear on the album "get yer ya-yas out". Merry x-mas @all from Hamburg (Germany)
……my favorite Stones song 🔥❤️🎸 I am so happy for you that your first listen to this Masterpiece was through a good set of headphones 🔥🔥🔥 Shout out to Charlie (R.I.P.) miss you 🥲🙏🏻
In my opinion, BB, LIB and Sticky Finger are the best RS albums. This song is simply brilliant, with organist Billy Preston and many fellow musicians, especially the real jam ending is unique. On the album EOMS, which is loved by fans, most of the (fellow) musicians were on such a cloud (the French police even arrived) that only short riffs came out and therefore mostly short songs were created. The basic tracks were supplemented with overdubs in LA for three months. Merry Christmas to everyone; should the Christ child or the Stones come knocking?
The Stones were my band when I was in high school. They had an amazing run of albums starting with Beggers Banquet (Sympathy for the Devil and Street Fighting Man), Let It Bleed (Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want), Sticky Fingers (Brown Sugar and Moonlight Mile0 and Exile on Main Street (Tumbling Dice and Soul Survivor). You mentioned Bobby Keys on sax, he played on many of the Stone's albums and is brilliant. I had a chance to see him live three times, with Joe Cocker on the Mad Dogs and Englishman tour, with Leon Russell and of course, with The Stones. Keep up The Stones reactions, their catalog is extremely deep. Hopefully you'll get to hear two of my favorites, 2000 Light Years From Home and the song, Let It Bleed!
The Stones could do no wrong from 1968 - 73...an incredible musical legacy. I agree with you that the title track Let It Bleed is one of their best; Ian Stewart's piano line is awesome.
I still have all of my albums from that time, wouldn't part with them for anything. Loving Cup is another fantastic song from that album. I could of/should of mentioned so many more!
Def their best extended jam song. Notice Kieth with some of his best support vocals. Another great long one by them is You Can't Always Get What You Want! Great reaction Shawn.
Between Woodstock and Sticky Fingers , a couple of months. Prior to 1969 Santana was not nationally known. Mick Taylor had competed the mandatory sixties stint with the John Mayall like Clapton and so many others
Yea man it's a big one from them, and yea, they just kept playing. Bobby Keys was featured quite a bit in The Stones albums. MIck Taylor played the guitar solo during the jam, cheers.
MT for the win. Bad call sending him packing. He never got credit for his contibutions, it was always Jagger / Richards even if Keith didn't play on it (see Sway and Moonlight Mile)
Oh & The very beginning riff WoW so freakin sexy & in your face **KickAss** Oh & I absolutely LUV that **KeithRichardsBabe** literally makes his guitar say "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" ha **MindBlownLuvit**
YAY!!! This is one of my most favorite songs by them! it is also played in the movie **Blow** awesome movie great soundtrack if ya have not yet ya should check it out sometime based on a true story **Twirls**
Staying on the theme that the Stones bring you a wide assortment of genres, please check out Moonlight Mile also off the Sticky Fingers album. It is absolute perfection!

He's Da Man for sure, for me, he, Dick Parry with Pink Floyd and Chris Wood of Traffic are the best sax players in my lifetime with an honorable mention to Clarence Clemons. Unreal musicians! 🎷
Substance use can help some people see reality in a different way that sometimes brings brilliance. The author of Alice in wonderland was said to have used opium.
Mick Taylor's guitar at the end is epic.
It’s the best Rolling Stones song that usually gets left out of top ten lists 🔥Mick Taylor on outro guitar 🎸
Yeah, and that opening Richard’s lick is filthy.
In my top five all time favorite Rolling Stone songs. It's rare to hear this in concert. I've seen them seven times, and only heard it twice live. Lucky me! (Sympathy for the Devil is another epic Stones song rarely played live)
This is with out a doubt the best Stone’s record ever! That is the perfect Rock/Jazz fusion recording ever! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sticky Fingers is the Stones masterpiece
Great reaction to a great song. Stones may not be the most popular to react to but they are truly the best rock and roll band . From rock to blues and everything in between their back catalog is widely unknown by the casual listener , but is immense and fantastic.
Stones best album IMHO.
The Stones rockin’ out at their best!
This is an all time rock masterpiece.
This song was much shorter; they'd stopped playing, rounding off with an impromptu jam in climactic bursts; they’d decided to put
on tape a seven-minute masterpiece that would stand as a definitive showpiece of Mick Taylor’s supple talents as a guitarist with
Bobby Keys Sax playing. Magic can happen when you're just fooling around if you're as talented as the Rolling Stones. Great jam,

The live version from Get Yer Ya Yas Out. Also from that sympathy for the devil is my favorite version
Agreed!@@doriwiljt When they play this live, the jam session seems to go on forever, thankfully. Including Sympathy for the Devil, when they let loose and jam... brilliant!

I love how live it sounds. Makes you feel like you're in the studio with them
Bobby Keys on saxophone, from Lubbock, Texas. He used to watch Buddy Holly practice in the garage when he was a kid. He was with Delaney and Bonnie when Derek and The Dominos were in the band, about a year before this, and they played a song named “Pigmy”, from a chord progression by Bobby Whitlock, the organist.

Jimmy Miller was more than just a producer. He played drums on a few tracks, handclaps, tambourines, and had to quit after a few years when the drugs got out of hand.
Opening guitar riff in the main song, the first half is Keith Richards (in your left ear). The jam session part is all Mick Taylor (in your right ear)
Classic ‘70’s Rolling Stones, played throughout the Newark/Pleasanton houses.
The Worlds Greatest Rock & Roll Band end of story
The Rolling Stones here are at they're raunchy best. Fresh and raw. Love this jam.
Great choice, and a top 10 classic rock staple!
All hail Mick Taylor and Bobby keys
The first half does it for me. That riff is just so nasty.
Agreed. I love the ending but it’s the first half that destroys my nervous system.
Mick Taylor was what Keith said- a maestro, And defined one helluva a string of records with that guitar virtuosity
Nasty! ( Not naughty, vulgar , rude) BUT JUST NASTY ROCK N ROLL!!
Stones in the Zone!❤
Keith was holding down the fort but Mick Taylor was lead guitar in a lot of this stuff at that time, and he was so good. I got to see him sit in once with Alvin Lee and Ten Years After. He was playing steel guitar and the combination with Ten Years After was just fire.
Keef’s guitar intro, and through the first half of this song, is the musical manifestation of BALLS!🎸👍
@stevedahlberg8680 is right. Mick Taylor plays lead guitar, Keith Richard plays the rhythm part. If your speakers are connected correctly you will hear Mick Taylor on the left and Keith Richards on the right. That's the case with every album. Very nice to hear on the album "get yer ya-yas out".

The opening guitar riff is legendary!!!!
……my favorite Stones song 🔥❤️🎸 I am so happy for you that your first listen to this Masterpiece was through a good set of headphones 🔥🔥🔥
Shout out to Charlie (R.I.P.) miss you 🥲🙏🏻
You've been hitting sme great tunes lately. This song rocks. The Stones are up there with the greatest rock group ever.
That was Mick Taylor dishing out the sick solo at the end, not Keith.
As I'm sure you've come to know by now,, That the Rolling Stones has many sides/faces,, Well here's one more,, The Rolling Stones "Fool To Cry"
In my opinion, BB, LIB and Sticky Finger are the best RS albums. This song is simply brilliant, with organist Billy Preston and many fellow musicians, especially the real jam ending is unique.
On the album EOMS, which is loved by fans, most of the (fellow) musicians were on such a cloud (the French police even arrived) that only short riffs came out and therefore mostly short songs were created. The basic tracks were supplemented with overdubs in LA for three months.

I have always loved this one! ♥️

I still have my Exile On Main Street and Sticky Fingers albums from back in the day. My favorite on Exile is "Loving Cup."
I still have all of my albums from that time, wouldn't part with them for anything. Loving Cup is another fantastic song from that album. I could of/should of mentioned so many more!
Between Ian Stewart and Nicky Hopkins, The Stones always had great keyboards!@@tracyyork1428
This is one of their top tier songs for sure. Another great one is: Time Waits for No One. Hope you check it out.
Let's see the Beatles do anything like that!
Def their best extended jam song. Notice Kieth with some of his best support vocals. Another great long one by them is You Can't Always Get What You Want! Great reaction Shawn.
Between Woodstock and Sticky Fingers , a couple of months. Prior to 1969 Santana was not nationally known. Mick Taylor had competed the mandatory sixties stint with the John Mayall like Clapton and so many others
One of their best - Billy 5th Beatle Preston has a worthy solo catalog to react too as well. More great Stones #monkeyman #slave
I agree. This is one of their best.
That seems to be the general reaction, the same one we had hearing this for the first time back in the day. Some things don't change!
Yea man it's a big one from them, and yea, they just kept playing. Bobby Keys was featured quite a bit in The Stones albums. MIck Taylor played the guitar solo during the jam, cheers.
I would suggest 100 Years Ago off the Stones Goats Head Soup album too..
Pure R&R at it's greatest.
This is a great one.
MT for the win. Bad call sending him packing. He never got credit for his contibutions, it was always Jagger / Richards even if Keith didn't play on it (see Sway and Moonlight Mile)
Great reaction to an absolute classic. Thank you!
Oh & The very beginning riff WoW so freakin sexy & in your face **KickAss** Oh & I absolutely LUV that **KeithRichardsBabe** literally makes his guitar say "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" ha **MindBlownLuvit**
❤❤❤Try "Far Away Eyes", "Angie", "Wild Horses", "Honky Tonk Women", "Start Me Up", "She's So Cold" and "Anybody Seen My Baby".
YAY!!! This is one of my most favorite songs by them! it is also played in the movie **Blow** awesome movie great soundtrack if ya have not yet ya should check it out sometime based on a true story **Twirls**
I put the opening riff as my motion sensor notification for my Ring Doorbell😂... (Get it?)
Staying on the theme that the Stones bring you a wide assortment of genres, please check out Moonlight Mile also off the Sticky Fingers album. It is absolute perfection!
The Stones will always be number one with me. I don't think the Beatles can hold a candle to them.
And you've no doubt been informed plenty of times now Shawn, but that epic solo was played by the great Mick Taylor.

Well young man you're flirting with a .400 batting average. Knocked another one out of the park. Great song and reaction!🎉
😎
I always felt like Mick Taylor was strongly influenced by English guitarist Peter Green, who founded Fleetwood Mac
Naturally, Taylor was a Green disciple. Not to mention, he replaced Green in John Mayall’s The Bluebreakers.
Great song's....but terrible concert's
Are you insane? They're (or were) a great live band! I saw them in 1970, '76, and '80. They were superb each time, but 1970 was probably the best.
Most people who say this have never seen the Stones live in any incarnation of the group.
