Undeniably one of the best compositions by jagger Richards Moonlight mile brings tears and emotions every time I listen to that song.If you don't get moved by this song,you have to be in a coma!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite LPs of all time!! I first heard this as a teenager in 72 on a Reel to Reel player with headphones on and to this day I still think that's the best way to listen to this album. I never grow tired of if. And BTW you are the BEST my brother!!! Keep doing what you're doing!
with their big commercial success and radio tunes through the years, you cant really appreciate them, until you hear an album like sticky Fingers. it's an experience when you realize their greatness.
For you to love this album is to experience the pain and life of the times without living in these times.I have lived thru them and have felt this album,it’s mood from head to toe
Oh, man, I didn't want Moonlight Mile to end. Wow! Thanks, Wayne; you're right, Moonlight Mile is a great great song. You have to listen to the whole album several times through. Sticky Fingers is one of the greatest rock albums of all-time. That review by Robert Hilburn for the LA Times is nonsense - the album is packed with strong songs from start to finish. Not a weak song on the album. The four albums to which you refer were produced between '68 and '72, in this order: Beggars' Banquet; Let It Bleed; Sticky Fingers; and, the double LP Exile on Main Street. I wouldn't be able to put these in any sort of order as they are all great. If I had to go for one only, I'd have to go with Exile, simply because it's a double LP. Exile is intoxicating. The production seems somewhat thick and muddy on first few hearings, so it takes anyone a good 5 or 6 hearings to really "get" it. Sister Morphine (along with Black Sabbath's "Hand of Doom") is a very important song on the dangers of drugs abuse. They are both extremely dark and powerful songs. Peace.
I've long thought Moonlight Mile is one of the great Stones songs that not many people know about. An interesting note is Keith Richards doesn't play on it. I think the song was all Mick.
Excellent! One of their best...which makes it one of THE best rock n roll albums of all time. So much to say, but I will just say, Ry Cooder’s slide guitar on Sister Morphine is simply TERRIFYING
This is my favourite Stones album (and I have quite a few). Maybe we weren't so easily shocked back then. It was just very good music.Mick Jaggers voice is just like another instrument you get lost in it.
Great review . . . I still have the original album from the first release, complete with the working metal zipper, which was switched out for a photograph in the later releases.
Lots of guys came home from Vietnam era hooked on heroin and other assorted drugs. Therefore, sister morphine became a real problem for many even after getting home. . Mrs Melissa Ward here. I am sure others followed that path too. That's what suckd about our generation. Music got us through so much. Thank you for this reaction.
In the 70's, living at home I used to come home drunk early on a Sunday morning after a night on the town, stick this on the record player in my bedroom and get into bed. By the time Midnight Mile had ended I was asleep
Sticky Fingers has always been my favorite album. Like others, I never get tired of listening to it. And listening along with this review, I seem to appreciate it even more. What I've discovered more recently is just how great the Stones were during this prime period, and I contrast their greatness with what I feel became nothing special after guitarist Mick Taylor and producer Jimmy Miller left.
This entire album is filled with drug references, mostly about heroin. “You got ta mix it child you got ta fix it must be love. It’s a bitch” Even Moonlight Mile. Imagine yourself on a tour bus, late at night buzzed out on cocaine (“with a head full of snow”), staring out into the darkness through a rain soaked window, at your own reflection, as you reflect on your life and the people you miss. And the drug ( heroin)coursing through your veins slowly melts all that away and you drift off into a peaceful oblivion. You couldn’t tell that story any better.
I met the lead saxophonist - Bobby keys - in a pub in Melbourne, Australia a few years before he passed. I mainly peppered him with questions about anecdotes from keith Richards autobiography. Ansolute salt of the earth - didn’t mind getting a bit loose though!😜
A very great album and of course the best album from the Stones but I also like `exile on main street` and `get yer ya-ya`s out` with one of the best versions of sympathy for the devil and the best Mick Taylor solo`s ever ! Some journalists wrote that Mick Taylor inspired the song "moonlight mile" or even wrote it. The same goes for the song "winter" on the album "goats head soup". Mick Jagger and Keith Richards ignored it when it was mentioned. I don't know if it's true. Maybe other experts here know better and can perhaps clarify it. Best wishes from hamburg, germany.
'Sticky' and 'Exile' are the greatest Stones albums. That run from '68 to '72 with the 4 studio albums (one of them a double), plus the incredible Live album in '69 'Get yer Ya-Yas Out'. is unparalleled. Side 1 of 'Sticky' is as good, and tight as Side 2. 'Sticky' is very compact album; it never lest up; jumps from genre to genre, but always with a common thread of decadence, weariness. It's the first albums with the horn section. IMO 'Exile' is trickier; it takes a minute to grasp 'Exile'. It is sprawling, huge, funny, loud. The lyrics are often hard to make out. It did not get good reviews when it came out; there is no huge hit single. But IMO it is untouchable.
I didn’t see side 1 either. One of my favorite Stones albums. Also check out the live ”Get Yer Ya Yas Out”. One of the best live albums ever. And “Beggers Banquet”
Thanks for reviewing a all time great album. And Love how you break it down. Great job Sir. Maybe you can do Side One of Some Girls and/ or side two of let it bleed
Great album. Listened too it a 1000 when I was young. The line in Bitch. When he says just had a fortnight's sleep. For those who don't know. A fortnight is slang for 2 weeks. 😂❤🇨🇦
Yes, a great album. I think it's far better than the much-praised follow-up "Exile on Main Street". "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is one of the Stones' greatest songs. "Sister Morphine" and "I Got the Blues" are outstanding too. "Brown Sugar" is a superb hard-rocking classic with lyrics that would be very controversial today.
This album is great but what makes them still around is that they changed with what else was going on in the music world.Black and Blue is a great album......a bit of Funk with the Rock and Roll. You rock dude.....
@Mary Margaret Moore yes Let It Bleed excellent Stones album the whole album was amazing sticky fingers exile goats head soup Black And Blue there all great
@@marymargaretmoore9034 I’m proud of you u sure know what rock n roll is another band I love besides the Stones is The Dave Clark 5 have u ever heard of dc5 there an amazing band that u might love give them a listen
funny trivia - THIS album cover his pants had an actual working zipper on it that you could pull up or down . if you wanted to . Of coarse I never did since I'm a guy .
Bitch was never released as a single...probably because of the title. It was the B-side to the Stones’ #1 hit single Brown Sugar in 1971. It obviously is great enough to have been a single on its own
UA-cam just keeps cutting it's own throat. Another presenter i enjoy listening to just assumes YT will block him, and puts a link at the start of the comments, to the full reaction on Vemeo.
Maryaanne Faithful created tge lyrics foor "Sister Morphine", and put it out as her B side in 69. Hagger may have regretted signing over the royalties as this kept her snack habit fueled for years. I dont thinnk the songs got much air play on radio in UK. They were having bad press over becoming tax exiles.
Undeniably one of the best compositions by jagger Richards Moonlight mile brings tears and emotions every time I listen to that song.If you don't get moved by this song,you have to be in a coma!!!!!!!!!!
I was always told, the Beatles sang about how they wanted the world to be. Rolling Stones sang about how the world is.
Right on Dean
Very simplistic
I agree. Moonlight mile stands alone amongst the rest. I never get tired of hearing it. Very good show!
One of my favorite LPs of all time!! I first heard this as a teenager in 72 on a Reel to Reel player with headphones on and to this day I still think that's the best way to listen to this album. I never grow tired of if. And BTW you are the BEST my brother!!! Keep doing what you're doing!

My three favorite albums critics rated low. Sticky fingers , black and blue and beggars banquet.

After Can’t you hear me knocking, it’s one of my favorites.
Sticky Fingers has been stuck in my truck's CD player for years.

Moonlight Mile is so good !!
Perfect song to end an album.
Thank you...seriously...thank you. This album... is it.
Listened to that whole thing with you.. Man what a great album.

"Goat's Head Soup". Doo Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker. Amazing song.
When the horns hit in Bitch it’s impossible to not strut a little.
Great album...one of their best...........country bands will even cover dead flowers and the girl with the far away eyes.
First album with the great Mick Taylor on the entire album. Stones were at their best with him on guitar 🎸.
First studio album.
No, he didn't play ON Bitch👍
You can really hear their love of the blues.
This entire album is filled with drug references, mostly about heroin. “You got ta mix it child you got ta fix it must be love. It’s a bitch”
Even Moonlight Mile. Imagine yourself on a tour bus, late at night buzzed out on cocaine (“with a head full of snow”), staring out into the darkness through a rain soaked window, at your own reflection, as you reflect on your life and the people you miss.

Thanks for taking the time to review this album.
It was subversive in every way. Even it's cover! Courageous effort.
SISTER Morphine was written by Marianne Faithful about a drug overdose she had.
I love that song, too. Moonlight Mile. Great album. Great reaction.
My two favorite albums growing up in the 70s were Sticky Fingers and Sgt. Peppers.
I met the lead saxophonist - Bobby keys - in a pub in Melbourne, Australia a few years before he passed. I mainly peppered him with questions about anecdotes from keith Richards autobiography.
Ansolute salt of the earth - didn’t mind getting a bit loose though!😜

Not a bad song on that album. This and Exile have that same vibe like a triple album almost.

Please react to side 1...Brown Sugar is their most iconic number. The essence of the Stones in 3 minutes and 50 seconds and for many, the best.
MOON LIGHT MILE ❤❤❤😂

"Sister Morphine" and "I Got the Blues" are outstanding too. "Brown Sugar" is a superb hard-rocking classic with lyrics that would be very controversial today.
Do you know how looong I'd been looking for an original LP? Found a great copy for$25. What a steal!
I'm SOOO jealous.
That has to be Billy Preston on the organ.
Moonlight mile !I still have that old album cover..
I love ,I still got the blues
This album is great but what makes them still around is that they changed with what else was going on in the music world.Black and Blue is a great album......a bit of Funk with the Rock and Roll. You rock dude.....
I'm so disappointed that I missed side one! Can't You Hear Me Knocking is my absolute favorite RS song but Let It Bleed is my favorite album.
Can’t you hear me knocking is mine too. This is my favorite album of theirs. Not a bad song on it.
Andy Warhol designed the album jacket. Behind the jeans (with real zipper) was another image of a man in his tightie whities!
One of their best albums! Have you done side 1? Let It Bleed is also great. Sexy sax played by Bobby Keys.
@Mary Margaret Moore yes Let It Bleed excellent Stones album the whole album was amazing sticky fingers exile goats head soup Black And Blue there all great
@@mikebarooshian7255 They sure are. I also love "It's Only Rock and Roll" although a lot of people don't like that one.

@@mikebarooshian7255 Sure I have. They came out at about the same time as the Beatles, a long time ago.
@@marymargaretmoore9034 wish I could buy u a Dave Clark 5 cd you whould love them my favorite bands are The Rolling Stones and Dc5
funny trivia - THIS album cover his pants had an actual working zipper on it that you could pull up or down . if you wanted to . Of coarse I never did since I'm a guy .
Heck...I unzipped it! Someone had to do it!
Hey man,
Why can’t I find the side one reaction anywhere? Any clues?
Go to my Patreon or Vimeo
I have that album on my music room wall with the real Zipper, among many others
Bitch was never released as a single...probably because of the title. It was the B-side to the Stones’ #1 hit single Brown Sugar in 1971. It obviously is great enough to have been a single on its own
so awesome, STB!
Having gone thru a long rocky marriage I can relate to love it’s a bitch
The perfect Stones album.
UA-cam just keeps cutting it's own throat. Another presenter i enjoy listening to just assumes YT will block him, and puts a link at the start of the comments, to the full reaction on Vemeo.
BTW, There are 3 great new music documentaries on Prime Video. They are about Brian Jones, Peter Green and Bobby Keys. You should check them out.
Ya man

this is how music should be review
Where did you go, STB!
Big labowski makes appearance 😇
Good stuff kid
side one video didn't work for me, video blank
Goatshead Soup my favourite
Goat's Head Soup is very underrated, my friend.
Just found part one on Vimeo
Where’s side one??
You need to re-upload your side 1 reaction.
yep side 1 didn't play for me either.
No side one. Didn't make it. Some great songs on the album, but also just some filler. Emotional Rescue, Some Girls, Tattoo You their best albums.
I say dat cause im old, no disrespect cmon
