Ron Wood is playing the steel guitar for nearly 50 years on many recordings and during concerts. Of course he is playing it beautifully, and he can play it rough and whatever you want.
That's a great comment rockin Ed, did you ever get to read some of the stuff that the guys in the stones said when in the presence of the American artists who inspired them, they went to the top and became the greatest live act that ever existed but they had respect by the shitload for others, its a who's who of artists that went on to do well in their careers that early on got a prize slot opening for the stones, also, read what bob dylan says about the rolling stones, never a truer word spoken
@therenegadej5764 if youre refeerring tThe Rolling Stones and Waylon Ienjings, youre absolutely right, 2 different artists, both great in their own right from 2 different eras, both had great music. But I have never really liked Waylon Jennings but I love this by both of them, but b they're like chalk and cheese.
How cool for the Stones to go into Texas and do a song especially for Texans. You can tell Mick was slightly out of his comfort zone, which made this all the more awesome. They nailed this song. A tribute to Bob Wills and Waylon in just under 4 minutes. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen musically and I can't say I'm a huge Stones fan. Absolutely awesome.
Apparently you are just a fair weather Stones fan if you think Mick and the Stones have not covered country music before! Hell, "Far Away Eyes" easily could have been played on country music channels.
It sure could've. If I'd been in the audience when Sir Mick mentioned Waylon Jennings (0:43), I'd've been cheering the loudest and stomping a hole in the floor.
Jim Wills, I am currently exchanging with the Bob Wills Foundation and Carolyn Wills regarding a fiddle that belonged to Bob Wills. If you would reach out to me so that I can share the story and pics, I would appreciate it.
Stones have a huge country influence. This is not out of their comfort zone at all. In fact quite the opposite. Jagger is known for wanting to be a country singer at a young age...they nail this song
Your kidding, right? RS has loved and done many country songs ... Not to mention country music is just slowed down rock music... same as the blues being transformed into heavy metal in a slowed down version
So many people in this comments section like this song, but have ZERO clue of the absolute legend, Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. The man who changed country music FOREVER. To this day, still one of the most influential acts to ever hit airways, especially in the 40's to the 60's. Almost every country star pre 80's had a direct influence from that band, and pretty much every country legend had sang at-least one of their songs. Edit: An unknown fact, Bob Wills was the first man to ever sing an "ab-lib" on a record. His famous "Ahh-haaa". Still in the modern era, millions of songs use ab-libs like rap music. Bob did it first.
Drove Amarillo to Oklahoma City many times. They had a great country oldies station out Muskogee, used to play all the greats. Reminded me of growing up listening to WJJD in Chicago. Used to jam to Waylon, Johnny, Merle, Buck, George, Bob, along with Bad Co., Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stones, Santana, Earth Wind & Fire, Muddy Waters. And of course Jim Reeves. Thank You to my parents for turning me on to an appreciation of timeless classics.
I was in the park that night. This was just an electric and magical moment-the shock of recognition that ran through the crowd was incredible. Sure, it’s ragged and under-rehearsed, but that wasn’t what mattered. It was a tribute to Bob, Waylon, and the Lone Star state and a chance to see a song they will never perform again.
Love your line ragged and unrehearsed, but it didn't matter. The audience loved not only mentioning Waylon, but Willie Nelson. To a man, the Rolling Stones appreciated those who came before them, are truly students of their music and that respect shines in this performance. Remember they wouldn't play an American TV show unless it was agreed that Howlin' Wolf did the opening for them.
If I didn't know better, I would say they have been playing country music forever. Now this is the state of Country Music today, the Rolling Stones are better than any country performer today. But I also believe any Rock N Roll fan will say the state of that music also from today doesn't measure up to what the Stones produced.
A country guitarist said of the Rollings Stones, “They were one of the five best rock bands and also one of the five best country bands.” I think he was on to something.
the thing is they weren't doing it to be funny or making fun of the music....they enjoyed doing it and showed absolute respect for the sound, the song and Waylon and Bob and the TX Playboys.. The Stones... no matter their reputation with some people they are and always have been a class act
Pure entertainment didn’t care that much for them when I was into R&R and back in the 60s But have grown to love them over the years. Theywere my wife’s favorite in the late 60s We even have a small Shih Tzu dog named after mick Jagger
It really isn't out of their wheelhouse, as Dead Flowers and Honky Tonk Women are country songs. Ronnie Wood has always played the pedal steel. IMHO. That being said I haven't heard the Waylon Jennings version.
Good to see an English rock band acknowledge the immense talent and timeless music of Bob Wills and Waylon Jennings. How I yearn for real country music.
Check out on UA-cam Heidi Hauge, Heather Myles, Darrel Armstrong, Kirsten Dauggard, Shawn Diddy, Ben Haggard Olivia Harms Sara Storer, and Hoss Curtis. Like them? Look on Amazon and eBay for their music CDs. May have to a google search for each artist to get their direct website. May be able to get CDs that way.
Gary Kerns I understood your comment. My point.. where ever Waylon is, I hoped he heard the applause when Mick said "Waylon Jennings" If I had a dime for every time I have listen to this song off "Waylon Live, I wouldn't need to go to work every day. LOL
Class, pride and dignity. I've Never seen a better example. What an awesome group of musicians that half stood the test of time. The rocking Rolling Stones.
Great band, I was too young to see them back then, but I got a third row seat and saw them in Dec 1994 Voodoo Lounge tour. Still a great band. In Vancouver. Rogers Arena had just opened, and the sound was not figuered out yet. Oh well, still a great concert!
Wow... this is something. Fifth generation Texan here. Didn’t know Mick & his Stones like our legend, Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys. Bob was the king of Texas Dancehalls back in the day. Him, Ray Price & Willie. Later, George Strait.
I love me some Rolling Stones, and I love me some Bob Wills. We used to ride through the neighborhood smoking weed and listening to him when I was 16 years old. And of course, Waylon was my childhood hero. Also, the Rolling Stones are the greatest man of all time. Pretty cool stuff.
@@TheBrooklynbodine Waylon's cover, I would imagine, is probably closer to original than the Stones' is. However, I think I like the slightly faster Stones version better, probably because that's what I heard first.
This has got to be the last surviving "British Invasion" Band,! This is especially true when you consider they have never broken up or retired, and they still have 3 out of 5 original members. Love them or hate them, you still have to give them kudos for still being able to rock it in their 70's.
XOkie I agree 100%. The Stones have done several great country songs including Country Tonk and You Better Move On. Mick with The Chieftans did an EXCELLENT job on Long Black Veil.
... "Grown Up Wrong", "Dear Doctor", "Prodigal Son"', "You Got The Silver", "Sweet Virginia" ... The Stones always made the odd excursion into country-oriented music and made it work. The late '60's was a time in their career when they really began to get into it when they recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama. Too bad that Ricky Nelson was booed off the Madison Square Garden stage in 1971 while performing The Stones' "Country Honk". I think that The Stones' success was partly due to their never being purists with their music, although their long suit was always the blues.
I'm sorry that I can't comment so objectively about The Stones' country music because apparently country music generally is just not for me, with the exception of "Wild Horses" which I really love. I really tried but could never take to country music, and I've been trapped in a situation with more than enough exposure to it to develop a taste for it, but for some reason it never clicked for me. Thanks.
The Rolling Stones have been doing country music for a long time . No Expectations, Girl with the Far Away Eyes,Let it Bleed just to name a few . The best band that ever was .
Heavily influenced by American Country and Blues music. When the stones did a lot of their country stuff people were saying they were doing parity and mocking country music….that is absolutely ridiculous on every single level of comprehension!!!
Sitting On A Fence, Dear Doctor, No Expectations, Factory Girl, You Got The Silver, Country Honk, Let It Bleed, Dead Flowers, Torn and Frayed, Sweet Virginia, Far Away Eyes (1968-1978)
Love it! So great to hear Mick and the Rolling Stones sing Bog Wills Is Still The King. Ireland's King of Country Music, Big Tom (McBride) has often told me in interviews that the Rolling Stones are his favourite rock band. Now I know why .....
The credits to the songwriter in the beginning. Played in true country style. Even though you built a brand in another genre. These gentlemen are a touch of class we likely won't see again.
So good he sing Mick❤❤❤wow and Ronnie play in steel gitarr❤❤and all the other in the band Charlie😢❤❤and Keith ❤❤and Matt Clifford ❤❤and maybe some more Chuck Lewell ❤❤
***** Diude, are you Ray Charles's stunt double? You obviously didn't see the humor . Called the Greatest band in rock and roll but they'll never make it big playing shit-kicker songs. Because they don't need to.
Just because Woody's playing well doesn't mean anyone needs to slag Keith off; it's not a war. Actually, playing country lead alongside a steely takes a fair bit of know-how and his Keithness is doing a fine job. They recruited Ron for his similarity to Keith and his character as well but what a bonus it was getting a good steely? I've loved his work on this instrument since "Sweet lady Mary" and "mandolin wind".
Nashville pop on what USED TO BE Country music radio ain't Country. Guess alternative, pop, and rap had nowhere else to go so they took over Country radio.
Yup! Keith Richards and the late great Gram Parsons (the pioneer of country rock) were best friends and it was Gram who (by Keith's own admission) opened the Stones up to country music. Keith and Mick actually gifted Wild Horses to Gram's band the Flying Burrito Brothers over a year before they recorded it themselves.
@@idicula1979 You've got that backwards. You can't play Rock & Roll without Country, which was around a lot sooner. There's been plenty of cross-pollination for sure, but without blues and country and soul already existing, rock would have never been born.
Rolling Stones done a hell of a job on this song and a pedal steel guitar with right on key with the song. I had a family member that played in a country band hearing that pedal steel guitar reminded me of him. He found the Lord before he passed away and was playing the steel guitar in church for our heavenly father
![The Who - Baba O'Reily -- In [High Definition] HD! -1979 - The Kids Are Alright](/img/n.gif)
Mick Jagger at his best, can't get enough of this song.
This is very classy of the Stones to do this. How cool.
absolutely one of the coolest things the Stones ever did. wow.
But nowhere near "Satisfaction".
I agree, really cool
i love country music, tank ,,tio sam....

Hats off to Ronny Wood for playing that steel guitar beautifully.

The Stones can do all genres of music.
You have to hand it to The Rolling Stones. There is no other bigger appreciator of American music.
especially southern blues/gospel/country, which is the grandfather of rock and roll.
I think Waylon would be proud. Good job, Stones.
Thing of beauty. Nobody can touch Waylon, but the world's greatest rock n roll band paying tribute to Bob Wills? Doesn't get any better than that.
I remember when I was immature once. Stop comparing one to the other

What a hoot ! The rolling stones singing Bob Wills is still the king. I love it !
Talk about "Knowing your audience" Outstanding tribute!
What an amazing guitarist Ron Wood is. He is playing that pedal steel guitar like he has been a Nashville guitarist all his life. Great song boys!👍👍
OMG….is there a string instrument he can’t play?
I'm sorry to disagree but Ronnie should stick to his Strat. He ain't no country steel player.
@@XOkie always gotta be a country snob that can't just appreciate a respectful tribute.

Good job Mick, from a huge Waylon fan
Same here! I got a chill when you invoked Waylon Jennings' name. You tell' em, Sir Mick!
Same here love Waylon! Mick is awesome
Me too. Hoss would approve.
👍 Right On. 😎✌️
Induct those boys into the Country Music Hall Of Fame. When one Rock N Roll King sings about a Country music Kings, you cannot top that.
Waylon laid it down and Keith picked it up. Music rolls on!!
Never thought I would ever hear my uncle Bob's name roll of the tongue of Mick Jagger. lol!
For real?
Cool
They've always known and respected their roots.

Can you draw a list of Stones country songs for a special release album?
Love the first line "This is a song we learned from WAYLON JENNINGS" RESPECT! from the Stones!

This is.better than 99% of the sh!t that comes out of Nashville today.
Better than 100% of what comes out of Trashville
Give the man a Stetson and a pair of cowboy boots. He's country.❤
Holy crap! The Stone's playing Waylon tribute to the fabulous Bob Wills. Life is good
New respect for Mick and the Stones.❤❤❤

The credits to the songwriter in the beginning. Played in true country style. Even though you built a brand in another genre. These gentlemen are a touch of class we likely won't see again.
So good he sing Mick❤❤❤wow and Ronnie play in steel gitarr❤❤and all the other in the band Charlie😢❤❤and Keith ❤❤and Matt Clifford ❤❤and maybe some more Chuck Lewell ❤❤
Great job from this English band ... I'd say they have a great future in Western Swing. This band will go far - mark my words!
+Andrew Brennan Never make it big. No twin fiddlers.
Hahah! Exactly! Every good country song starts out with 2 taps on the fiddle!
What, no mandolin with the pedal steel?
***** Diude, are you Ray Charles's stunt double? You obviously didn't see the humor . Called the Greatest band in rock and roll but they'll never make it big playing shit-kicker songs. Because they don't need to.
They gave themselves only 6 months in '62.
Ronnie Wood's playing is what really makes this work.
yeah Keith is totally clueless he doesn't know what to do.
Keith is not Clueless here, he's riffing.
the one time
ImperialRadioYT what are you referring to
Just because Woody's playing well doesn't mean anyone needs to slag Keith off; it's not a war. Actually, playing country lead alongside a steely takes a fair bit of know-how and his Keithness is doing a fine job. They recruited Ron for his similarity to Keith and his character as well but what a bonus it was getting a good steely? I've loved his work on this instrument since "Sweet lady Mary" and "mandolin wind".
Just goes to show, The Stones can perform ANYTHING!
This is why they’re the greatest band in the world❤
proud Texan and great tribute
These ole rockers kill it!! More COUNTRY than any so-called country on the radio today!
Damned straight! I was going to say the same thing! Oh hell, Mick has ALWAYS had his country side! And God bless 'Ol Waylon!
Nashville pop on what USED TO BE Country music radio ain't Country. Guess alternative, pop, and rap had nowhere else to go so they took over Country radio.
You said it…..better country than anything currently out there.
There's still good country music being made by artists in Nashville.
Easily my favorite band. This is another reason why.
More true to country roots than Nashville today. Great job.
You can't play country without Rock and Roll. But nowadays it's pop songs that pay, so it's pop song that play. The day that music died.
Yes indeed pedal steel and all
Yup! Keith Richards and the late great Gram Parsons (the pioneer of country rock) were best friends and it was Gram who (by Keith's own admission) opened the Stones up to country music. Keith and Mick actually gifted Wild Horses to Gram's band the Flying Burrito Brothers over a year before they recorded it themselves.
@@idicula1979 You've got that backwards. You can't play Rock & Roll without Country, which was around a lot sooner. There's been plenty of cross-pollination for sure, but without blues and country and soul already existing, rock would have never been born.
AMEN!!! Jamey Johnson's all we got left!!!
That's the Stones for you... musical class all the way! This is an example of why they've been around for a thousand years.
Rolling Stones done a hell of a job on this song and a pedal steel guitar with right on key with the song. I had a family member that played in a country band hearing that pedal steel guitar reminded me of him. He found the Lord before he passed away and was playing the steel guitar in church for our heavenly father
