Wow. Sends me back. Stones 1st US concert and my 1st rock concert. June 5, 1964, Swing Auditorium San Bernardino, CA Wasn't sold out crowd, far from it. But what a show. Mick, even back then, was not the best looking man in the room. But his sexual magnetism on stage was unbelievable. Almost more than a 16 year old could handle. Definite rock music icons. Thanks for the memory. And the insight into these guys.
I love the cigarette hanging from the mouth as if he's not in the middle of a song.....ah, the 60s. It's amazing that any of them are still alive. Fil, thank you for your intelligent analysis. I love your channel.
I am a longtime fan of The Rolling Stones. I saw them live in 1997. One of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. There is no lead guitarist in this band, and the musicianship is incredible. My dad, who will be 92, very shortly, told me once that he thought The Rolling Stones were garbage. Later on, my dad told me that he saw The Rolling Stones on TV. I asked him what he thought of them. He said they were good. Thanks for sharing this analysis video. Cheers, Fil! ✌️
Ah, the strolling bones, I have loved them since my teenage days, (a long, long time ago). What a performer Mick is, and how well they all fit together. Unfortunately I have never had the chance to see them live, instead I either play them very loud or slip into a bit of karaoke now and then. Great analysis Fil, as always.
Super interesting take on an old favorite and intriguing enough that it only hurt a little to see Charlie Watts. Awesome to see and hear you playing the guitar again!
I'm not into the Rolling Stones that much, but I do like some of their songs and this is one of them. I love how you break things down in the analysis to make it understandable, watching and hearing you demonstrating it on your guitar! It was another awesome analysis.
It was funny to hear Fil mimicking Mick’s accent since Fil sounds more posh than Mick does. Such a great song and a product of Gram Parson’s influence on Keith Richards. Interestingly the Stones gave the song to Gram to record on a Flying Burrito Brothers album that was released a year before the Stones version came out. Great to see Fil playing again so he can demonstrate the sweet guitar licks.
“Hopefully, fingers crossed, they’re not going to start auto tuning Mick Jagger” Too late, Fil. Unless, of course you’re clinging to the not-terribly-meaningful distinction between AUTOtune and… let’s call it MANUALtune. Digital pitch manipulation is digital pitch manipulation. Autotune makes an entire song sound fake, robotic, soulless and awful. Melodyne makes only certain particular notes sound fake, robotic, soulless and awful. The result, and the fundamental mindset problem, is essentially the same.
The Rolling Stones are considered the bad boys of rock & roll. Mick is not the best singer vocally but he has a raw quality & he has charisma. I grew up with their early stuff. My favorite era of The Rolling Stones is from the 60's British Invasion. I loved the "Flowers" album. They had a lot of great early hits such as "My Girl", "Lady Jane", "Out Of Time", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Get Off of My Cloud", "Paint It Black", "Ruby Tuesday", "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Honky Tonk Women", "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Gimme Shelter" etc.
Liked this selection you used for analysis to focus shortly on M.Jagger's unusual, erratic but expressive vocals. Fitting for this blues infused rock track of the Stones.
Fil, you really seemed to be having a great time during this video! This is a fave Rolling Stones song and Marianne Faithfull tells a great story about Mick playing this to her in hospital after her overdose back in the 60s. Thanks gor the great content!
I love Mick & The Stones, I have seen them about 5 times live. He doesn't stop he is always moving. Still sounds great & a great performer. TY for this video, nice to have this info. 👍
I seen the Stones in 2012 in Newark New Jersey, it was there 50th Anniversary Tour. The tickets were a rip off for one I paid over a grand. But Mick Taylor was going to be there and I waited a lifetime to see him with the rest of them. I seen him solo twice in NYC what a great player he is. I gone to the Stones gig by myself, just wanted to have fun without drama. I was all the way on top in heaven for a grand. Kind of pissed off, but met a friend people, we went for a couple of drinks and laughed like idiots. Gone back and Lady Gaga came out and did gimme shelter, she had the place laughing there asses off. I had to admit she had a pretty good voice, but not my style at all. Then John Meyer came out and was pretty good, and Robbie Robertson . Then the time we were waiting for Mick Taylor doing Midnight Rambler. The arena went crazy, he was even dancing. He blew Keef away, he was shining that night. It was a night and show I will never forget, even with one song he blew the Stones away. As I said I always been a big Stones fan. But when Taylor left, there music went down hill and kind of boring. Well that was my last time I seen them and had a blast of a time, and the people I hung out with were dynamite. Sorry I wrote a little book, but had so much fun.
Wild Horses, Beast if Burden, Angie, and Miss You, are hands down some of my faves. Thank you Fil for going into detail on this. It’s those little nuances you pick up on that make me listen more intently. Music keeps me alive, brings light on a dark day , and smile in sad times. I appreciate you.
Always a treat when you are able to breakout your guitars in analysis. When you mention the band had that longevity, I smile because there are younger fans out there who don't know who Brian Jones was. enjoyed your Mick Jagger impersonation 😊
True story. I saw The Rolling Stones here at the Hampton Coliseum in 1980, and they filmed their "Going to a Go-Go" video that evening. My buddy and I are in the video somewhere. It was Keith Richards' 38th birthday, and I boldy declared this was surely going to be their final tour ever. I was only off by about 42 years. Additionally, that was actually the weekend Keith infamously smacked somebody with his guitar when they ran up on the stage.
True story.. My husband was working at a Hotel Sofitel near Minneapolis, MN during the early 1980s. He was standing near the front desk when Mick walked by and happened to step on his foot, said “ Sorry mate”, and continued on…..I kid my husband saying that it could have been the inspiration for a great song “Hey you get off of my foot”.
I frikkin love Mick Jagger, I have no idea why…😂🤷♂️ And I especially love this version of Wild Horses, his voice is unique, and his stage presence is crazy, so chilled, yet still so cocky… Looking forward to this (I really hope you aren’t going to tell me he is rubbish 😳🙏) Quick edit to say - I’m so grateful that I’m not disappointed. I really appreciate your analysis, and loved the guitar demo 🥰
My first exposure to this song was The Sundays cover. I prefer their version as a more melancholy and haunting sound for vocals and guitar. Check them out. Warning: very different from Mick Jagger and the Stones! 😂 I like them both.
We love the Stones. I was working one night 3 a.m. Mick jogs by around Washington square in philly. I jogged next to him . he invited me back to the after party of the concert. I went back to my job. Big regrets.
When you asked rhetorically at the beinning, what was the secret of their longevity I gave it some brief thought, and all I could think of was 1. they were very good, 2. they were very popular and making lots of money. Your answer "authenticity" took me by surprise, but I agree wholeheartedly. As you say, that's the key for any act which has lasted a long time. Great insight, and worth watching this video for.
That crazy “ Southern American/countrified “ affectation that Mick does is hilarious if taken completely by itself ( the speaking part at the start of “ The Girl with the Far-Away eyes “ comes to mind! It’s still one of my favorites btw ),but when applied to the songs, it is really the only way that it can be done!
Thank you so much for a fun video. Jagger's voice is unique and he does sound like a singer that is influenced by rural blues singers of the deep South. But again my favorite era of the sounds is with the original lineup. And again thank you for all the hard work that you do. Thank you so much. Be well stay safe and of course God bless you
I am a die hard Stones fan and have seen them live many times. Loved your analysis. You are truly talented, I love your guitar work and singing. Would you ever consider creating a new "live"concert on you tube performing some of your original songs.? I know I would buy a ticket....Just putting it out there...not to mention it would be a good way to build up reserves for needed equipment or upgrades. Either way, thanks for sharing your gift!
Great analysis.And you're the first I've ever heard to address the American sound of British vocals that made many wonder what groups were British or U.S.Interesting.I knew the Kinks though first listen ha ha.
This is such a good, solid program. Haven’t watched in a while, been busy. Your analysis is spot on, as ever, meticulous, even catching that Americanization in Mick’s delivery. Btw, have you heard, Keith has quit smoking? Says he’s amazed at all the volume in air he has now, in singing. Pushing 80, and decides, yeah, I think it’s time I quit smoking! What an inspiration (never smoked myself). Worth noting in this regard, despite living through the druggy era, apparently the Sones never really fell into that trap. The drummer and original bass player boozed it up, but since the early days they already had families, kids, avoided the drug scene. After getting thrown in jail, Keith said no more of that. And Mick has always been too health conscious to get lost on that path. God bless, The Rolling Stones!
You know it is going to be a great analysis when it starts with you holding one of your guitars. Thanks for the great analysis. I often wonder how two guitarist work together but in a band like The Stones I assume they just played together so long that it is natural for them.
Fil is incredible. I learn so much from him every time I watch his videos. And he imparts wisdom in such a friendly, approachable was - not at all professorily. Keep on rockin,' Fil, and thanks!
Haven't been listening for a while, busy working. I see I've missing alot. You do a great job of explaining a song and make it so much more than what it seems to be. Thank you.
Unbelievable that they are still touring..never would have thought.Thank you for doing this breakdown. Great.I think that Ringo Starr and Charlie Watts are the greatest rock n roll drummer's..orginal unique..just listen to Charlie intro to Paint it Black..it's intense!!!
Big Fan à this Song, & Big Fan à this Band, that English accent by Mick, make this even more COOL. Real Happy to hear & learn from your Guitar Lessons too 🎸😎🌈🦜🐢🪘🎶
I was so excited to see this one because this song was one of the first I learned to play on the acoustic from listening to the record Sticky Fingers with the zipper on the cover.
The Stones have some of the baddest (bad boy) beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Mick’s vocals are visceral, but at the same time. the music is gorgeous. Plenty like on Sticky Fingers.
I was in high school during this time. It is funny, half of us were Beatle lovers, the other half Rolling Stones! Everyone loved the Beatles, but only some of us were team Mick, of which I was. I mean who wouldn’t pick 19th Nervous Breakdown, over She Loves You! 😉. Always loved this one, haunting.
@ Wings Of Pegasus - great analysis, Fil. Nay... superb analysis! Gram Parson's influence on Mick's voice - and Keith's writing - is *massive* on this. To note Gram Parsons was stayng with the Stones in the South of France when they jammed this out and Keith eventually "wrote" it. This influence clearly carried through to the 'Some Girls' elpee, too. But... this is Flying Burrito Borothers almost to a tee. HAving a look at Gram's version might make an interesting 'comparison video'.
I've seen them live, once. Very pitchy,, but such a compelling performer, you can't take your eyes off him. Probably the greatest frontman ever. So many amazing albums. Perfectly imperfect. RIP Charlie Watts.
Back in their heyday. Was lucky enough to see them a few times, with the last time in 1997 Bridges to Babylon tour. They were so good back then. Today in 2022, with great sadness, I think it's time for them to retire. Charlie and his awesome groove is absent, Keith can't play guitar anymore, and the energy is largely gone. It just isn't the same anymore. Such great memories of Stones shows with 60,000 screamin partying fans all getting along was something to behold, and something I'll never forget
I first saw the Stones on 17 October 1973 at Vorst National in Brussels…..Billy Preston, Mick Taylor on slide, Steve Madaio on trumpet, Trevor Lawrence on saxophone 🎷……. Along with Pink Floyd in 1972 this is one of the greatest concerts in my life….Keith Richards has commented on how tight the band was in Brussels….thanks Fil 🥂
Great song by the Rolling Stones. Their music has definitely stood the test of time. I enjoyed this analysis and your chord demonstration on the guitar.
When the notification popped up about (the emphasis on WHO)the whippersnappers, I thought: aha! the Who. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Took me back to when I used to belt out 'Honky Tonk Woman' when I was???-ish 😊 One of those bands I wish I could have seen live in all their glory.
Mick has incredible energy when hes onstage. While i do like their some of their songs like angie and midnight special which is such an american style blues piece. The question is always the Beatles or The Stones and the the answer is The Who. Lol. If you're gonna go on a British band kick id like an analysts on The Who Love Aint For Keeping. Love Roger Daltrey. Keep doing your thing Fil, we all love it! 🎸💖
Keith Richards' backing vocals are really underrated - he hasn't the most "beautifull" voice in the world (understatement 😁) but it matches Mick's voice perfectly and his harmonies are always on point.
@@Katerina9256 love 'em too don't worry . What I mean is that Keith doesn't have that "perfect and sweet" voice most backing vocalists tend to use - his is raw and nasaly but melt perfectly with Jagger's.
@@realdocloco True for sure on all accounts! I just always loved that he sang anyway, especially on the lead vocal songs because it sure did work. I wonder if he had any trepidation about doing so when there was Mick Jagger as the lead singer 😄 I've read that Jimi and SRV also did not generally like their own vocals, and look what they both did with theirs! I guess rock and roll attitude and general ballsiness has a lot to do with it 😄😄😄 Cheers! ~~Katerina
Now, I was listening to the Rolling Stones on my am/fm transistor radio when I was a "young whippersnapper" lol😆😆 And Wolfman Jack cast his spell on generations. Oh yeah. California girl here all the way.
When they were a garage band their influences were the American R&B records they could get … and they were particularly inspired the Righteous Brothers because they were one of the few white R&B groups. I understand that’s why they asked them to open for the Stones on their first American tour.
The Stamford Hall in Altrincham in the early 1960s was a pay at the door venue so you could just roll up. The groups used to visit the local pubs so you could pop in the Malt Shovels or the Barrington and there enjoying a pint you could find Keith Richards, Graham Nash, Phil May and many more. The Stones appeared there, Moody blues, The Pretty Things, Status Quo, The Small Faces, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Who, The Hollies, Pink Floyd and many more. Great era
When the Beatles came to the US in ‘64, reporters asked them why they sounded American. John said something like, “Well, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, and Elvis are all American, and those were our influences.
We had row 6 center tickets at Madison Square Garden for The Sticky Fingers Concert in 1971. The tickets were done by lottery, and guess how much our tickets cost?….$7.00! So many people dressed up or in costume for the show. Incredible show however I left with the worse headache I’ve ever experienced. So enjoy your analysis of so many of my generations great artists, and the appreciation you show along with your beautiful smile!
I think the essential thing about the Rolling Stones is Mick Jagger, specifically his lyrics. They're just (only) rock and roll songs, not really about much. But the words have an easy, almost lazy perfectness that's hardly ever matched. So many tunes and so many writers have tried so hard to do/be what those tunes naturally are -- just effortlessly, exactly what they're supposed to be.
I don't know if the pun was intended, saying "WHO are these young whippersnappers" when talking about the Stones, but it gave me a little laugh regardless. The Rolling Stones have always been one of the most polarizing bands, and it makes a lot of sense that the fact that they are so unapologetically themselves would play a big part in that. I remember being 13 when they were on the Tattoo You tour and absolutely begging my parents to let me go, because the Stones were getting pretty old and "this could be the last time" they tour. Ah the perspective of a 13 year old! My parents did not let me go, they hated the Rolling Stones much more than any other band that I listened to, but fortunately I did get to see the Stones later on the Steel Wheels tour. Another great analysis, appreciate your insights!
@1:08, an incredibly young, "baby-faced" Charlie Watts. Seems incredible to conceive, that he's been gone just under a full year (Aug 24, 2021). RIP, dear Charlie-you are definitely missed!
Gram Parsons was very tight with Keith, and was a country music influence. Keith covered the Merle Hagard song "Sing Me Back Home" which he learned from Gram. It's worth a listen.
I always watch with Fil. I might miss something that Fil can pick out things I miss if I watch Wild Horses video. This gives Fil credit for views and I watch to the end, hit like. My way of supporting Fil and not the person that uploaded the video. I grew up listening to the Rolling Stones until My older brother gave me Led Zepplin 1st album. When Fil plays his guitar, I really listen and watch most of the times using head phones.
I didn't like the Stones when I was younger, now I enjoy listening to them. The music is truly a master piece. Possibly the music has grown on me. I don't know, I don't care. Long live the stones !
I love Wild Horses, I love Gram’s version best, but Mick is as always awesome. Mick made a trade with Gram, he could record Wild Horses 1st for turning Honkey Tonk Woman into Country Honk, a good deal for everyone, especially us fans!❤️👏🌟🎸Keith wrote a great song, Mick definitely has that country accent down…
As always, excellent. I know you get a ton of people sending you ideas on a band to comment on. I would like to suggest one also. The band is "The Outlaws" from the seventies. The toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, in fact were friends of theirs, both bands coming from Florida. The most well known song would be "Green Grass and High Tides". I would love to hear what you have to say. I had just watched your review of Lynyrd Skynyrd's live version of Free Bird and was going to leave this request there but the last post was 7 months old and I doubted you had time to read all your all comments.
Fil's point about Mick changing his accent to fit the song and lyrics is perhaps best exemplified in the song "Loving Cup" from "Exile on Main Street". On this Mick pronounces "Man" as Mayun and "None" as Nun. It works perfectly and adds to whole feel of this great song.
Can't deny the talent of the band and Mick completely commands the stage. Mick was Mick with his style of singing which I could never understand what the hell he was singing. Just sounded like mumbo jumbo... Have to love the wild far away look in his eye in this performance. Amazing they are STILL around to this day; a credit to their understanding of one another.
Just discovered your channel and had to subscribe immediately. I really love your explanations [so much to laern] and your enthusiasm that makes it so pleasant to watch your videos. Thank you for that! It woul be really great if you could do a video on the Small Faces/Steve Marriott sometime.
Wonder if you ever heard of Ted Newman Jones, friend of Keith's and he was a luthier and made a place in history with his handmade guitars and was the first to become a backstage guitar technician. He also helped with Mic's guitars after he saw what a huge helper he was to Keith. Ted was family to us, growing up next door to us in the summers. Newman guitars are now rare and expensive...just wish Ted had lived to see this appreciation of his talent. This song...bittersweet for me. My first record was actually Green Grass and High Tides! One reason they sound so horrible in concert is that Mic always does the set ups and sound checks himself. lol. Got to love them though. I saw them 4 times in my youth!
Willie Nelson is reputed to have said "These young kids need to start thinking about what kind of world they will be leaving Keith Richards and me." Back in the mid-60s my garage band did covers of some of the songs the Stones did.
Wow. Sends me back. Stones 1st US concert and my 1st rock concert. June 5, 1964, Swing Auditorium San Bernardino, CA
Wasn't sold out crowd, far from it. But what a show. Mick, even back then, was not the best looking man in the room. But his sexual magnetism on stage was unbelievable. Almost more than a 16 year old could handle. Definite rock music icons. Thanks for the memory. And the insight into these guys.
"Wild Horses"--my all-time fave Stones song....

Ronnie joined in '75... I'm guessing this show was from '78
That’s what I love about them… they’re still alive
@@JohnStrandt Nope, this is Knebworth Fair, 21st August 1976.
www … wild Mick’s gravel voice … straight to your heart. Onya Fil for dissecting this tricky one. Gotta love their wide, open sound

Loved the Flying BurritoBrothers’ version better although I must admit they’re barely distinguishable.
Steve Earle called The Stones "Dead Flowers" - "A perfectly good British Hillbilly song". Suppose "Wild Horses" falls into the same category.
@@markmiwurdz202 A couple of tunes on Beggar's Banquet also fit that category.
Originally Mick sounded quite posh. Listen to this interview from 1970. ua-cam.com/video/XqgA6veZCEA/v-deo.html

Dagmar S. definitely charismatic. I once heard Mick was in college 2 Bcome CPA or equivalent.
@Dagmar S. I've always loved the Brian Jones era of the Rolling Stones after all he was the founder of the group and a multi-instrumentalist.
@@drewpall2598 Yah Charlie was kool 2

The drummer and original bass player boozed it up, but since the early days they already had families, kids, avoided the drug scene.
After getting thrown in jail, Keith said no more of that. And Mick has always been too health conscious to get lost on that path.
God bless, The Rolling Stones!
You know it is going to be a great analysis when it starts with you holding one of your guitars. Thanks for the great analysis. I often wonder how two guitarist work together but in a band like The Stones I assume they just played together so long that it is natural for them.
I love how Mick just embraces the flaws of his distinct voices to make a work no one can copy. it is Mick and the stones through and through.
Fil is incredible. I learn so much from him every time I watch his videos. And he imparts wisdom in such a friendly, approachable was - not at all professorily. Keep on rockin,' Fil, and thanks!
Thanks!
I'm so glad you could do a Rollo g Stones analysis. I love hearing about the methods they used to get their sound.
Haven't been listening for a while, busy working. I see I've missing alot. You do a great job of explaining a song and make it so much more than what it seems to be. Thank you.
Unbelievable that they are still touring..never would have thought.Thank you for doing this breakdown. Great.I think that Ringo Starr and Charlie Watts are the greatest rock n roll drummer's..orginal unique..just listen to Charlie intro to Paint it Black..it's intense!!!
Big Fan à this Song, & Big Fan à this Band, that English accent by Mick, make this even more COOL. Real Happy to hear & learn from your Guitar Lessons too 🎸😎🌈🦜🐢🪘🎶
I was so excited to see this one because this song was one of the first I learned to play on the acoustic from listening to the record Sticky Fingers with the zipper on the cover.
great song great band great memories you took me back in time absolute legends thanks Fil great work 👍👍✌🤘
The Stones have some of the baddest (bad boy) beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Mick’s vocals are visceral, but at the same time. the music is gorgeous. Plenty like on Sticky Fingers.
I was in high school during this time. It is funny, half of us were Beatle lovers, the other half Rolling Stones! Everyone loved the Beatles, but only some of us were team Mick, of which I was. I mean who wouldn’t pick 19th Nervous Breakdown, over She Loves You! 😉. Always loved this one, haunting.
@ Wings Of Pegasus - great analysis, Fil. Nay... superb analysis! Gram Parson's influence on Mick's voice - and Keith's writing - is *massive* on this. To note Gram Parsons was stayng with the Stones in the South of France when they jammed this out and Keith eventually "wrote" it. This influence clearly carried through to the 'Some Girls' elpee, too. But... this is Flying Burrito Borothers almost to a tee. HAving a look at Gram's version might make an interesting 'comparison video'.
Gram was asked to leave because he was too much even for the Stones.
I saw them perform this and many other of their songs of the day live. They were beyond amazing.
Thanks for your video Fil and hello from Halifax NS CA. This kinda revived my love for 70s stones music.
Those beautiful wild wild horses, they're running around in my mind, because I'm the mind traveler,
Great analysis as always, Fil. We miss Charlie.
What a beautiful song, from an amazing band, One of the few I wish I’d seen. Brings back lots of feeling. Thank you Fil!
The first Album I owned (still own) and this was my favorite song on it.
I've seen them live, once. Very pitchy,, but such a compelling performer, you can't take your eyes off him. Probably the greatest frontman ever.
So many amazing albums. Perfectly imperfect. RIP Charlie Watts.
Back in their heyday. Was lucky enough to see them a few times, with the last time in 1997 Bridges to Babylon tour. They were so good back then. Today in 2022, with great sadness, I think it's time for them to retire. Charlie and his awesome groove is absent, Keith can't play guitar anymore, and the energy is largely gone. It just isn't the same anymore. Such great memories of Stones shows with 60,000 screamin partying fans all getting along was something to behold, and something I'll never forget
I first saw the Stones on 17 October 1973 at Vorst National in Brussels…..Billy Preston, Mick Taylor on slide, Steve Madaio on trumpet, Trevor Lawrence on saxophone 🎷……. Along with Pink Floyd in 1972 this is one of the greatest concerts in my life….Keith Richards has commented on how tight the band was in Brussels….thanks Fil 🥂
Great song by the Rolling Stones. Their music has definitely stood the test of time. I enjoyed this analysis and your chord demonstration on the guitar.
When the notification popped up about (the emphasis on WHO)the whippersnappers, I thought: aha! the Who. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Took me back to when I used to belt out 'Honky Tonk Woman' when I was???-ish 😊
One of those bands I wish I could have seen live in all their glory.
Mick has incredible energy when hes onstage. While i do like their some of their songs like angie and midnight special which is such an american style blues piece. The question is always the Beatles or The Stones and the the answer is The Who. Lol. If you're gonna go on a British band kick id like an analysts on The Who Love Aint For Keeping. Love Roger Daltrey. Keep doing your thing Fil, we all love it! 🎸💖
🐎🎶Wild, wild horses we'll ride them some day🎶🐎
Love it!!
Great analysis, Fil. Thank you 🖤🤘🏽
Neeeeeigh 🐴
Keith Richards' backing vocals are really underrated - he hasn't the most "beautifull" voice in the world (understatement 😁) but it matches Mick's voice perfectly and his harmonies are always on point.
I love his lead vocals actually...Happy and Little T & A are 2 of my favorite Stones songs 🙂
@@Katerina9256 love 'em too don't worry . What I mean is that Keith doesn't have that "perfect and sweet" voice most backing vocalists tend to use - his is raw and nasaly but melt perfectly with Jagger's.
@@realdocloco True for sure on all accounts! I just always loved that he sang anyway, especially on the lead vocal songs because it sure did work. I wonder if he had any trepidation about doing so when there was Mick Jagger as the lead singer 😄 I've read that Jimi and SRV also did not generally like their own vocals, and look what they both did with theirs! I guess rock and roll attitude and general ballsiness has a lot to do with it 😄😄😄 Cheers! ~~Katerina
@@Katerina9256 that's true, many musicians don't like their own voice (especially when they hear it recorded). But we do!
So true
Awesome! Great job as usual!
Now, I was listening to the Rolling Stones on my am/fm transistor radio when I was a "young whippersnapper" lol😆😆 And Wolfman Jack cast his spell on generations. Oh yeah. California girl here all the way.
When they were a garage band their influences were the American R&B records they could get … and they were particularly inspired the Righteous Brothers because they were one of the few white R&B groups. I understand that’s why they asked them to open for the Stones on their first American tour.
Great content FIL! Love the Stones.😊
excellent as always
Mick seems to have a very subtle country sound in his vocals.
However-- it ain't so subtle.
Great analysis Fil as usual. Many thanks.
The Stamford Hall in Altrincham in the early 1960s was a pay at the door venue so you could just roll up. The groups used to visit the local pubs so you could pop in the Malt Shovels or the Barrington and there enjoying a pint you could find Keith Richards, Graham Nash, Phil May and many more. The Stones appeared there, Moody blues, The Pretty Things, Status Quo, The Small Faces, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Who, The Hollies, Pink Floyd and many more. Great era
When the Beatles came to the US in ‘64, reporters asked them why they sounded American. John said something like, “Well, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, and Elvis are all American, and those were our influences.
We had row 6 center tickets at Madison Square Garden for The Sticky Fingers Concert in 1971.
The tickets were done by lottery, and guess how much our tickets cost?….$7.00!
So many people dressed up or in costume for the show. Incredible show however I left with the worse headache I’ve ever experienced. So enjoy your analysis of so many of my generations great artists, and the appreciation you show along with your beautiful smile!
R.I.P. Charlie. I hope you meet my late friend J.J. Can’t listen to the Stones without thinking of him; biggest Stones fan I know.
Just magnificent. Purrrfection!
So many great songs written in the Summer of 1969. Turning up on Sticky Fingers/ Exile on Main St.
I think the essential thing about the Rolling Stones is Mick Jagger, specifically his lyrics. They're just (only) rock and roll songs, not really about much. But the words have an easy, almost lazy perfectness that's hardly ever matched. So many tunes and so many writers have tried so hard to do/be what those tunes naturally are -- just effortlessly, exactly what they're supposed to be.
Great explanations!
I don't know if the pun was intended, saying "WHO are these young whippersnappers" when talking about the Stones, but it gave me a little laugh regardless. The Rolling Stones have always been one of the most polarizing bands, and it makes a lot of sense that the fact that they are so unapologetically themselves would play a big part in that. I remember being 13 when they were on the Tattoo You tour and absolutely begging my parents to let me go, because the Stones were getting pretty old and "this could be the last time" they tour. Ah the perspective of a 13 year old! My parents did not let me go, they hated the Rolling Stones much more than any other band that I listened to, but fortunately I did get to see the Stones later on the Steel Wheels tour. Another great analysis, appreciate your insights!
jagger's voice is the rolling stones. it's an expressive instrument that knows no peers. it's rock and roll as it should be - messy and authentic.
Mick looks beautiful! 😀
great version!!!! Keef is playing in Open G but capoed at the 2nd fret.
@1:08, an incredibly young, "baby-faced" Charlie Watts. Seems incredible to conceive, that he's been gone just under a full year (Aug 24, 2021). RIP, dear Charlie-you are definitely missed!
Really cool !
Gram Parsons was very tight with Keith, and was a country music influence. Keith covered the Merle Hagard song "Sing Me Back Home" which he learned from Gram. It's worth a listen.
“these little Fils come in”, you have offspring on the gig? Also, you nailed the Jagger vocal mystique.
My favourite band.♥️
I always watch with Fil. I might miss something that Fil can pick out things I miss if I watch Wild Horses video. This gives Fil credit for views and I watch to the end, hit like. My way of supporting Fil and not the person that uploaded the video. I grew up listening to the Rolling Stones until My older brother gave me Led Zepplin 1st album. When Fil plays his guitar, I really listen and watch most of the times using head phones.
Love this song! One of my favorites.
I didn't like the Stones when I was younger, now I enjoy listening to them. The music is truly a master piece. Possibly the music has grown on me.
I don't know, I don't care. Long live the stones !
This is as real as it gets great stuff.
Love that song thanks for posting ❤
I love Wild Horses, I love Gram’s version best, but Mick is as always awesome. Mick made a trade with Gram, he could record Wild Horses 1st for turning Honkey Tonk Woman into Country Honk, a good deal for everyone, especially us fans!❤️👏🌟🎸Keith wrote a great song, Mick definitely has that country accent down…
I love Stones best when they plays blues , like this song
As always, excellent.
I know you get a ton of people sending you ideas on a band to comment on. I would like to suggest one also.
The band is "The Outlaws" from the seventies. The toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, in fact were friends of theirs, both bands coming from Florida. The most well known song would be "Green Grass and High Tides". I would love to hear what you have to say.
I had just watched your review of Lynyrd Skynyrd's live version of Free Bird and was going to leave this request there but the last post was 7 months old and I doubted you had time to read all your all comments.
Fil's point about Mick changing his accent to fit the song and lyrics is perhaps best exemplified in the song "Loving Cup" from "Exile on Main Street". On this Mick pronounces "Man" as Mayun and "None" as Nun. It works perfectly and adds to whole feel of this great song.
Geez, this is the first song I ever played with a band...pre Ron Wood, and pre Mick eye shadow back then...
That’s very interesting on the accents. Many always sounded American till you’d here them speak. My lesson for today! 😊
*hear
My favorite Stones song.
The answer John Lennon gave when the American press said 'Why do you talk like Englishmen and sing like Americans?' John: 'It sells better!'
The penultimate lovers brandishing of their true feelings... Well done, Fil!
Can't deny the talent of the band and Mick completely commands the stage. Mick was Mick with his style of singing which I could never understand what the hell he was singing. Just sounded like mumbo jumbo... Have to love the wild far away look in his eye in this performance. Amazing they are STILL around to this day; a credit to their understanding of one another.
Just discovered your channel and had to subscribe immediately. I really love your explanations [so much to laern] and your enthusiasm that makes it so pleasant to watch your videos. Thank you for that! It woul be really great if you could do a video on the Small Faces/Steve Marriott sometime.
Thanks! Yes they're here somewhere, it was a while back!
@@wingsofpegasus... Found it - great, thank you 👍
Wonder if you ever heard of Ted Newman Jones, friend of Keith's and he was a luthier and made a place in history with his handmade guitars and was the first to become a backstage guitar technician. He also helped with Mic's guitars after he saw what a huge helper he was to Keith. Ted was family to us, growing up next door to us in the summers. Newman guitars are now rare and expensive...just wish Ted had lived to see this appreciation of his talent. This song...bittersweet for me. My first record was actually Green Grass and High Tides! One reason they sound so horrible in concert is that Mic always does the set ups and sound checks himself. lol. Got to love them though. I saw them 4 times in my youth!
That vowel altering singing technique even works for Ozzie’s mush-mouth speaking voice. Proof positive 😁
Willie Nelson is reputed to have said "These young kids need to start thinking about what kind of world they will be leaving Keith Richards and me."
Back in the mid-60s my garage band did covers of some of the songs the Stones did.
This tour was heavily critized back then lol, 1976 europe, what a gem.
