Best song the Stones ever did, and that's saying one HELL of a lot. The smooth, fun & raw groove of this song is just beyond sublime. And that killer sax solo...damn.
There was always that moment in their show when Keith turned around to Charlie and they grin at each other. That's when you knew that at that moment, all is well
Multiple takes filming this song. Producer asked for one more take at 5:15 am. Mick talked with the band and agreed to one, and only 1 more take. They nailed it, this is considered the best version by Mick and band.
I think for me, its an ongoing process. I'm 58 and it still reveals more each time I hear it. Thank you for reminding me/us just how important and relevant the lyrics are. Peace be yours

@@christineenright7491 I don’t know that’s a pretty compelling committed performance by Mick. Let’s not confuse the real Jim Morrison with the movie. He did a lot of just standing there. And he would not face the audience for a long period as well. Jim has some amazing live performances but Mick transformed into the devil for you on stage in front of Lennon. So…
@michaelperry9580 I can't find my original comment which I made awhile ago, but I can't imagine saying anything about Morrison in relation to this video.
Imagine if they used autotune and loops they would blown everyone’s acid laced minds... I can’t even imagine what that would sound like. Hell just try and imagine the stones with 808s.
SO much more talent and cool people back in that generation this era blows! I never loved The Rolling Stones growing up but looking back on all these groups I realize now how beyond talented and gifted they were...legends. 🤘🏾
Their best music was whilst Brian Jones was with the band. All the early stuff and all the instruments he played gave them a lot more sophistication. After he died, the band stuck to mainly rock, rather than their early blues influences.
The amazing thing about this performance is that no lead singer was giving this kind of outrageous perfomance, even the Beatles where very composed. Mick Jagger and the Stones are true legends of rock.
did you see John & Yoko dancing in the crowd. was this an omen? this song has stood the test of time. absolutely timeless. & Mick is as gorgeous today as he was then. talk about a video worth a million words
And also a perfectionist. Sympathy For The Devil was repeated about ten times for Rock'N'Roll Circus... Not satisfied with the final results (some say Jagger was jealous of Roger Daltrey), the movie stood unreleased for 28 years...
he was high as a kite. but if you want to see really crazy time look up The movie "Gimme Shelter" when the rolling stones had the hell's angels as security for the concert. better yet just watch the scene when sunny phones up the next morning pissed off at the band. you will be on the floor laughing out loud.
I guess you're only a fan of the Stones, and not Rock-n-Roll. This was 1968. The late 60s and early 70s was heyday of Rock-n-Roll: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Beatles, The Eagles, The Who, The Doors, The Ramones, Cream, Blind Faith... Sounds like you think there's another time where there were bands much better than the Stones. What time was that? Now?
They have always been an unique band. They have experimented with different worldly instruments, like the East Indian sitar and now African drums. I will always love the Rolling Stones. Their music is so timeless.
The thing that’s made The Rolling Stones so great is that their music is timeless. It sounded modern in 1969 and it sounds modern in 2021. True artists!
@@Tarzthegreat Not really. Jagger is not a good singer, and the arrangements of a lot of the Stones' songs is quite subpar. Powerful, but not quite taken to the point. These days you get a lot of average songs that are executed much better.

Are you sure? Watch the vid of Lennon and Dylan sharing a cab. Dylan is out of his mind high and Lennon is throwing so much sarcasm that its just gross.
This performance was at the end of the movie, and was filmed after midnight. The band, film crew were pretty spent by then. A few even suggested they all get an hour or two of sleep before filming the final segment. Mick Jagger reportedly was adamantly opposed to the idea.
@@stephenvine3104 Thanks for commenting Stephen, so many great bands from the 60’s until today.

I just have to say, you Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones molded our life in the ´60 , when we weren´t able to feedback you and say how every weekend was so special with girls and friends , partys and a life in Color all because you !! I remember that friday when we bought your LP with this big song in side A, and preparing together in friends house hearing your song before departing for the party. And to know that the Maracas / Rattles were because a Venezuelan guy makes me Proud !! We were out of your tours area, but here in Venezuela / Latinamerica, we just love your music and find it boost our soul to move on and make this world better for all every day ! Thanks for existing and all you do and did for the World !! Your songs and you will live for ever, YOU WILL NEVER DIE !! Excited to after more then 60 years be able to write you !!

@@victorzurdo6516 Yeh. Yoko was a drag. But so nice to see Pete Townshend and Keith Moon dancing to this one! And power to Charlie Wats for recommending Ian Anderson and the yet to be recognized JT to Mick.
My sister is a huge Stones fan. She told me this song sounded like nothing else when it was released. Imagine being 15 years old and hearing this for the first time - in 1968?
I agree! I remember watching videos of them with my family and we would laugh at how different Mick and Charlie were on stage. He seemed so focused! So sad to hear about his passing.
I'm one of the biggest fans of The Who you'll find and on behalf of Who Nation: this performance is absolutely incredible! When I was young we always played the "this band is better than that band" game. But from the perspective of a 55 year old: they're ALL great! Be thankful you were alive during the time frame when bands like the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zep, etc were kicking ass live onstage!
Don't get enough credit?? Dude, what are you on, my friend? I'd like some! 😁 Seriously, they are EASILY considered by most to be one of the top 2 or 3 co-songwriters of all time. Especially when discussing classic rock, or 1960's counterculture. Second only to maybe Lennon/McCartney and often considered above them when specifically discussing classic rock. Also, second to Lennon/McCartney, they are the most SUCCESSFUL songwriting duo. That's just a simple fact. So not enough credit for you? Or do you just not really know what you're talking about? If the latter is true, well no worries mate; you obviously are at least a casual fan if not more, so you're off to a good start! 👍😁👍
I think you can get pretty close to objectivity by saying they aren't simply because all of their their albums aren't brilliant cover to cover. The same can be said of other great bands like Floyd or Zeppelin. The icky band that ever did that was The Beatles. That's why they're the best, plain and simple.

@@richardshort311 The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil (Official Video) [4K] 9.1122 0603am society has entered it's creep phase wherein it ass licks the uuff outta it's alleged foe... ahahaha...i have no idea what you are referring to. as for idiots - 99percent of the world's population is an idiot. so where does that leave 99percent of the population...? the euromax live stream was frozen. that's about as much as i got from the entire year re: learning, meeting new folk, tasting new things.... listening to music.
They are at their best, absolute spitzenklasse ❤
56 years ago and it still hasn’t ‘ gotten old’. Rest In Peace Charlie Watts, gone but not forgotten. John Lennon rocking out says it all
That Conga drummer is brilliant.
It lends the tone of the whole song.
That’s gotta be Rocky
Hey, I made and animated video of sympathy for the devil using A.I. Wanna check it out? ua-cam.com/video/FcUjGP3498E/v-deo.html
Don't know his name, but would love to know. I could be wrong. But isn't he the same conga player that played in the Traffic song, The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys?
@@gregory571 Rocky Dijon
Man he earned his pay that day. He kept that beat going the whole song…a marathon conga player.
There's a reason this band has succeeded through generations.
To display their freedom in front of the public , inspired , follows.
They’re alive
Golly gee! Is there? Could you share it with us all oh holder of secret information!?!?!?
What's such a lirycs! Nothing have change Sir Jagger!
Lennon grooving at 4:54 is a complete mood.
Fax
And at the end where he’s just playing with a ball of yarn
I love that he is getting down to this.
Yeah !
Are you sure? Watch the vid of Lennon and Dylan sharing a cab. Dylan is out of his mind high and Lennon is throwing so much sarcasm that its just gross.
one of several songs that Charlie gave us, without a doubt his legacy is here to stay, Mr. Charlie!
RIP Charlie, a legendary and one of the best drummers the UK has produced that will never be forgotten.
He really was something else Mick Jagger ultimate rocker/rebel.
One of the greatest performances in Rock history.
So agree with you. Never a more high octane show as Jagger did here. Don't really like the stones but this was mesmerizing. Long live amphetamines!
Certainly one of the great lectures. Fleurs du Mal stuff.
this is disco
This performance was at the end of the movie, and was filmed after midnight. The band, film crew were pretty spent by then. A few even suggested they all get an hour or two of sleep before filming the final segment. Mick Jagger reportedly was adamantly opposed to the idea.
zSo hard to watch them knowing Charlie is gone :(
Still one of the finest rock songs ever written. “Sympathy for the Devil” defines The Rolling Stones, arguably the greatest of all Rock n Roll bands.
Nirvana, pink Floyd... nirvana was a game changer
Totally agree with you Peter, where is there any one better ?
@@stephenvine3104 Thanks for commenting Stephen, so many great bands from the 60’s until today. The Kinks are my favorite British band, and sometimes I wonder if Ray Davies and his brother and the other members of The Kinks ever collaborated with The Stones, or even if they ever hung out together. Google it, I’m told, and so I will. Have a blessed day. From San Diego, Ca. Peace to you and yours.
nirvana isnt even in same hemisphere@@trigueiros113
I wish I'd heard this song before COD Black Ops
You dont get any thing better than that . 08:20 secs of pure musical brilliance . From start to finish .
lol! yeah, the last 30 seconds, where they fold like a cheap lawn chair. don't get me wrong. I like the stones, certainly more than the beatles, but richards was garbage with a couple of fumbling solos, jones was so stoned he couldn't be relied on to do anything more than use a couple hand shakers, and Mick was apparently lip syncing, or there was serious delay between the mic and the p.a.
@@stevedavis8329 not lip syncing. this was a live show. the studio version is better. it's pure, pure.
Freaking Legends! And still going nearly 6 DECADES LATER!!!
Best version of this song you will ever find.
No i like to hear him sing louder he says a sentance soft lould and soft i want it loud
PLEASE TO ME you hope you GUSS MY name
I want it like this
PLEASE TO MEET HOPE YOU GUSS MY NAMEE
I love u
I believe that.
@@Godgod4629 Like I Said: This is the best version. Give me a better one and convince me. And in English it's Please to meet you. Hope you guess my name.
You are correct sir.
To think this is from a concert in 1968 just blows me away! Thanks to all the Rolling Stones for the fantastic music all these years it has helped me get through life's ups and downs.
all the cops are criminals and all the sinners are saints
A❤❤❤
That's what most bands did for videos early on
Wow john Lennon and yoko as spectator 😮 great video !
dirty mac is keef bass clapton lead lennon yer blues same day
Absolutely one of the coolest "looks" Mick ever sported with his hair that length! My other favorite is his 1966 look with the short cropped bangs.
60 years of being one of the most consistently true bands. Doesn't matter the era, The Stones are The Stones!
The real hero is the guy who has to play the exact same conga pattern for ten minutes
Brh imagine Brian Jones. High af and playing the same pattern. At a point, his hands hurt, but he has no clue why
Rocky Dijon, the brother was BADASS
Fun fact: The original tempo was so much slower... Please Thank Brian Jones for this version with the faster pace and also the awesome piano play!
Yup
Nice arm workout
RIP Charlie Watts. A sad day for music, but his music lives on forever
🙏🤍
Number 1
👏👏👏❤👏👏👏
RIP Charlie Watts, sincere condolences to the band, family and friends. With Love, from Canada
yes, condolences to the band and his family, many prayers
Definitely missing Mr Watts his Last name could not of been more appropriate . A True Gentleman and Rock Icon . . . God Bless ya Charlie . . .
Robert get off the crank bro lol
Great song!🤘🏽
Das ist schon 50 Jahre her, unter immer noch löst dieses Stück ein Feuerwerk an Emotionen in mir aus! Es gibt keinen charismatischeren Sänger als Jagger!
Er ist immer noch ein sehr hübscher Typ!!
Richtig
Agree
@@JulioCesarSJC Concur
No te entendí pero muchas gracias
One of the best bands around. I'm 71 and still listening from way back.
68 and would rather be old and hearing the greatest music, than being young and hearing what they call music today
Me,too! I am 62 years old.That's not old!
Same age like me.I hear this from the Philippines,small island.A masterpiece.
I was born in the wrong era...43 and 50s, 60s and 70s is the golden age....wish I could have been there
@@anonamoose5673 I'm 72 years and listen yet good musics, old times everything were better.
One of the best live versions ever recorded.
the best!!!
@Gary Walton Ok, I put a reminder on me calendar 👍
for me the best is the "Get yer ya ya's out" version
🕉🐝🥰1 peac BEE wIth Y0U
Just listen to all the comments and see how we're not impressed speaking about the same thing,MJ
Love watching the stones,one a the best bands out and still here what shows they have it...🎉❤🎉
There will never be another Mick Jagger. In his youth, he was a force of nature.
He still is an awesome and amazing performer none can compare!
Keith too!!!
I believe that he's still alive.
@@ericlehman6841 Yes, he is and still performing at 80. In the mid-1960s his live performances were incredible.
70s Mick was the coolest.
This is rock n roll perfection. Everything about this song, the band, this video, performance is perfect.
So fucking cool!
Justin Bieber is better
@@estelacristinapeirone3201 🤮
Only to those tastless losers with a 2-digit I.Q.
then listen to him instead of commenting on stones! oh yeah you wont be heard on comments of bieber because he fell off@@estelacristinapeirone3201
More than 50 years old and still a mesmerizing performance.
This a vocal genius.
One of the greatest songs ever written
Seriously?🤮
It’s demonic👺
@@catherineconnolly2722 it’s quite deep unconcious. About the shadow side we all have. About accepting yourself and for nice guys to see that they have shadow self as well. listen to it again ”you are asking who killed the Kennedys, well after all it was you and me”. It is about understanding that we all have dark traits in our mind and the only way to love yourself is to have sympathy to yourself as a whole.
@@catherineconnolly2722 The church going crowd will find it Demonic and all sorts, he is just talking about all the evil in the world. He is also being sarcastic trolling
@@catherineconnolly2722 you sound like bobby Bouche mother in the waterboy....it's the devil!
This song is amazing in many aspects: It's one of popular music's best songs ever recorded, it's an amazing dance song, and it also features Keith Richards' best guitar solo.
And the lyrics are a masterpiece
I just have to say, you Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones molded our life in the ´60 , when we weren´t able to feedback you and say how every weekend was so special with girls and friends , partys and a life in Color all because you !! I remember that friday when we bought your LP with this big song in side A, and preparing together in friends house hearing your song before departing for the party. And to know that the Maracas / Rattles were because a Venezuelan guy makes me Proud !! We were out of your tours area, but here in Venezuela / Latinamerica, we just love your music and find it boost our soul to move on and make this world better for all every day ! Thanks for existing and all you do and did for the World !! Your songs and you will live for ever, YOU WILL NEVER DIE !! Excited to after more then 60 years be able to write you !! And everybody to read it !! Unique !! Didn´t tried it before !! Hope it reach you !!Jorge Alfonzo / Valencia / Venezuela
so touching! *cheers*
@Jorgealfonso Feliz vida señor Jorge. Hola desde la costa este. Mantente humilde.

Happy life Mr @JorgeAlfonso. Hello from the east coast. Stay humble
Great you can be heard here JA - It would be hard to imagine a world without the Stones in my life - Hope things will be better in Venezuela soon!
did we need your life story lol
It was cool seeing John get down and support Mick.
Love this performance and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus as a whole. Just people along with music legends playing and enjoying music together. Rest in Peace, Charlie Watts
Man half the crowd were 60's and 70's Rock LEGENDS!! Awesome to see them showing support.
That’s because game recognizes game
I believe it's filmed@Abbey Road Studio? That,other than the fact it's the rolling stone's,may have something to do w all those big name's! Plus,as u can c it was also a nice party,especially w the stone's,lol😉😎🤙🔱👺
@@victorzurdo6516 Yeh. Yoko was a drag. But so nice to see Pete Townshend and Keith Moon dancing to this one! And power to Charlie Wats for recommending Ian Anderson and the yet to be recognized JT to Mick.
@@stephanmichaels7215 it wasn't Yoko's fault. John insisted she be everywhere. Even Paul insists that she gets a bad rap.
My sister is a huge Stones fan. She told me this song sounded like nothing else when it was released.
Imagine being 15 years old and hearing this for the first time - in 1968?
I am from Mexico City, i was born in 1973 and i remember mi childhood heraing this music till now.
she likes " boys " with lipstick killing music into each note !
@@jean-lucbersou758 ?
À
It was just sound, the lyrics meant nothing to most teens....
Peace and love to the ROLLING STONES,
Your as classic as Betovin, arestarle and
Davince.
RIP Charlie the quiet backbone of the band!
I agree! I remember watching videos of them with my family and we would laugh at how different Mick and Charlie were on stage. He seemed so focused! So sad to hear about his passing.
@@Shrimppizza 😂🤣 Charlie always had that *I rather be somewhere else look*
You were at a hell of a party when you walked through the door and the Stones were on the stereo
Yes for sure
Solid...
I love it when there is more than one drummer! you killing it brother! ...RIP Charlie
~
For sure his is !!
Kwasi Dzidzornu aka Rocky Dijon is the conga player, fantastic
A LEGEND! Charlie Watts, thank you bro for giving without a doubt with your quality and your style a sound that we will never forget ...........
👏👏👏❤👏👏👏
Best band ever no other comes close to the stones !
I remember watching this on live BBC TV in 1968 when I was 13 years old. Amazing then as it still is now.
Ed turned me on to them
That's a monumental moment. You heard it before any of us.
Mick performance is spectacular....ROLLING STONES FOREVER.🧡
Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
@@mickjagger6129 Fine... thanks.....❤

@@mickjagger6129 Course is too amazing thanks a lot I really appreciate it ,,...merci.❤💕
I'm one of the biggest fans of The Who you'll find and on behalf of Who Nation: this performance is absolutely incredible! When I was young we always played the "this band is better than that band" game. But from the perspective of a 55 year old: they're ALL great! Be thankful you were alive during the time frame when bands like the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zep, etc were kicking ass live onstage!
Try and look at Eric Burdon and War doing paint it black ,live eye opener.
Who was not all that great.Stones are legendary.
I'm one of the biggest Who fans and I Second the Motion! Bravo to the Stones!
@@leevahal900 The Who is the greatest Rock N Roll band in the World. My concert Tee says so!
@@leevahal900
The Who is by far better than the stones
merry christmas i hope you have all been good
John Lennon and Yoko Ono are in the crowd. That's amazing.
Pete Townshend, too.
@@scottcornwall9320 Dancing with Keith Moon!
@Mark Richards is it Mack or Mac (short for Mackintosh /raincoat to Brits and some Canadians like me) or Apple to you Yanks.
@Mark Richards
everyone knows lol
Mick and Keith don’t get enough credit for there genius song writing. To me the greatest band ever.
Don't get enough credit?? Dude, what are you on, my friend? I'd like some! 😁 Seriously, they are EASILY considered by most to be one of the top 2 or 3 co-songwriters of all time. Especially when discussing classic rock, or 1960's counterculture. Second only to maybe Lennon/McCartney and often considered above them when specifically discussing classic rock. Also, second to Lennon/McCartney, they are the most SUCCESSFUL songwriting duo. That's just a simple fact. So not enough credit for you? Or do you just not really know what you're talking about? If the latter is true, well no worries mate; you obviously are at least a casual fan if not more, so you're off to a good start! 👍😁👍
The stones are great but pink floyd is the best band EVER
when NIcky was with them, possibly...
@@solomonkane6442 Just: no
I think you can get pretty close to objectivity by saying they aren't simply because all of their their albums aren't brilliant cover to cover. The same can be said of other great bands like Floyd or Zeppelin. The icky band that ever did that was The Beatles. That's why they're the best, plain and simple.
Kick ass song. If no one knows, Rolling Stones have had the most songs played in movies. That tells how fantastic they are!
The Greatest Rock and Roll band in the world
THE ROLLING STONES
it doesn't get better when they perform this song
