    The guy sitting next to Jagger on the stoop was Peter Tosh, reggae singer who collabed with Mick on the song, "Walk and Don't Look Back." (BTW, you should react to that!) Tosh was in Bob Marley's band, The Wailers.

    That was shot in my favorite bar--the St. Marks Bar and Grill. I was there that day, and I asked the bartender who was a friend what all the film trucks were there for. He said that the Rolling Stones we making a video in the neighborhood. It seemed so incredibly impossible, so I finished my beer and walked home.

    This tune came out after Mick and Keith had had a real life spat and the Stones were for all intents broken up. This song signaled friendship was worth more than anything and with the release of "Tattoo You" the band was back in business. I always liked this simply for that and it's a good tune too. The Stones, the greatest rock band ever.

      Mick and Keith had difficulties throughout the 80s which led to them splitting up after the Dirty Work album in 1986. Fortunately, they were able to patch things up a few years later.

    • @StanSwan
      @StanSwan Рік тому +2

      Kind of. They needed a record and Keith and Mick were not getting along. They had leftover songs reworked by Keith on his own going back to 1972. After Keith was done Mick recorded all the vocals on his own in a different studio. The album was crap on side two. Side one had some cool songs most were not hits though. They made Undercover of the Night in 1983 and toured together for that album. They stalled out again until Steel Wheels and really since then have mostly been a live band playing their classic songs. With only Keith and Mick left they are on the edge of a tribute band to themselves. Losing Charlie kind of makes me not want to spend the money to see them.

    Great history behind this song.
    It was recorded as part of the sessions for an earlier album (Goat's Head Soup), and Ron Wood (second guitarist shown in the video) wasn't with the band then; it was Mick Taylor.
    The opening shot shows them in front of a building that was featured on the cover of the album "Physical Graffiti" by Led Zeppelin.
    The Black gent sitting at the base of the stairs is the late Peter Tosh, formerly of the Wailers where he played with Bob Marley and others. He later recorded for Rolling Stones records. Sadly, he was murdered by thieves who broke into his house in Jamaica.

    • sax by Sonny Rollins, who requested Jagger “dance” the solo for him
    • basic tracks for this were cut during the Goats Head Soup sessions in late ’72 into ’73 in Jamaica (thus the breezy, bittersweet island feel), so that’s Mick Taylor on inaudible second guitar

    Watching girls go passing by
    It ain't the latest thing
    I'm just standing in a doorway
    I'm just trying to make some sense
    Out of these girls passing by
    The tales they tell of men
    I'm not waiting on a lady
    I'm just waiting on friend
    A smile relieves a heart that grieves
    Remember what I said
    I'm not waiting on a lady
    I'm just waiting on a friend
    I'm just waiting on a friend
    Don't need a whore, I don't need no booze
    Don't need a virgin priest
    But I need someone I can cry to
    I need someone to protect
    Making love and breaking hearts
    It is a game for youth
    But I'm not waiting on a lady
    I'm just waiting on a friend

    I used to walk by those front stairs and play video games in that bar (St. Mark's Bar and Grill) every night when I was about 20 years old and living in Manhattan. The building with the stairs that they were sitting on also shows up on the cover of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album. I think I left town (was broke and not tough enough for that city yet) shortly before they made this video. I remember a kid that I used to hang out with on another porch right across the street telling me that he'd met Mick and some of the stones at a party and they'd said they were going to come make a music video at the bar and grill. I didn't believe him at the time.

    Incidentally, the front doorway and stoop at 96 St. Mark's Place, New York is the location used by The Rolling Stones for their music video promoting their single "Waiting on a Friend" from their 1981 album Tattoo You. The opening shot of the friends in front of a New York building is that which is also used as the front and back cover of the Led Zeppelin album "Physical Graffiti". The album was originally released with a die-cut sleeve design depicting a New York City tenement block, through whose windows various cultural icons could be interchangeably viewed.

    Great song I heard an interview (can't remember who it was) but they were saying that Mick had always admired "Two of us" by the Beatles. They were mates before they were "The Rolling Stones" and he wanted to sing about it.

    The building behind Mick is pretty famous. It is featured as the Album cover of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti. It's located in the East Village of NTC. Also, this song is from the Stones Tatoo You Album. As Mick and Leith walk to the bar you clearly see the Albums cover art as a poster on a buildings wall.

    This song came out in 81 a year after I graduated. Reminded me of the days with my buddies sitting around shooting the shit.
