Way ahead of their time, if only people would explore their entire catalogue they would understand just how uniquely talented they are, Mick can sing extremely well in both standard and open tuning, his movements on stage are both athletic and effective. The opening melody reminds me of Rain by the Beatles, which i think was recorded after this, however, in my opinion, the Stones are the most influential and diverse band in the history of rock'n'roll
The Rolling Stones were a blues cover band when they were signed. Then they became a pop band, psychedelic band, then the English establishment tried to crush them, there was a public outcry, the establishment retreated and released them from prison, and then they hit another gear. They had early moments of greatness, and they were a very good band, but their true unique greatness came when they hit that other gear in 1968. “Jumping Jack Flash” and then ‘Beggars Banquet’. At The Rolling Stones’ Rock and Roll Circus they hadn’t performed publicly in over a year, which back then was forever. They’d been in court and in jail. It killed Brian Jones and made the rest of them tougher. Beatles and Who supported the Stones while they were abused. The Who released covers of Stones songs to show their support.
Brian Jones, from late 65 to early 68, the Color, texture and musicianship Brian added to the Stones incredible songs during this time was astounding. For my money, there is no better 3 year period in the bands history in terms of actual great tracks that all were so different with incredible depth and feel. Here’s just a few songs Lady Jane, paint it black, under my thumb, out of time, have you seen your mamma baby standing in the shadow , mothers little helper, I am waiting, 19th nervous breakdown, she smiled sweetly, Ruby Tuesday, let’s spend the night together, we love you, she’s a rainbow, dandelion, think, 2000 light years from home, child of the moon and many more Just incredible and all of those tracks are elevated by Brian’s distinctive playing I’d argue it might be the greatest 3 year period of any band or artist in terms of the quality of song output.
B side to Jumping Jack Flash This is a great track in it’s own right Great riff and lyrics/vocal from Mick Wonderful rhythm and drumming This didn’t even make it onto an album but was included on More Hot Rocks a collection of B tracks and other lesser known tracks that most bands would be astounded to have in their arsenal. The Stones had a wealth of tracks to choose from
Great choice Biz. And great reaction as always. That sound that you thought was a harmonica was in fact an alto saxophone, played by Brian Jones. And this was released in May 1968 as the B-side to the classic "Jumpin' Jack Flash". The 1960's Stones were by far the most adventurous sounding and - in my opinion - the most interesting music of their catalogue. If you want a great early Stones album, check out their 1966 album AFTERMATH. And go with the UK version of the album, which is slightly stronger than the U.S version. And yeah, Mick Jagger is easily the greatest front man in rock and roll. Hands down. In my opinion. Not the greatest singer, but the greatest front man.
a lot of fantastic stones songs never got airplay; you have to dive into albums deep. check out "moonlight mile", "you've got to move", " ventilator blues", "turd on the run" & on & on...
I always liked this tune which was released in 1968 and has that psychedelic vibe which was becoming popular in that era as people were discovering weed and acid.As for greatest frontman ever Jagger is certainly among the greatest.The greatest ever though?James Brown is hard to beat.David Lee Roth and Steven Tyler are up there too.
@@flyingburritobro68 I disagree...I think Dave in his prime back in the 1978-84 era was great....listen to the Oakland concert in 1981 for example.Of course he was a never a highly technical singer but has the tone and vibe perfect for Van Halen.I would say the same about Mick Jagger singing live....he doesn't sing like the albums and phrases very simply live...certainly not a great technical singer either but has that tone and vibe perfect for the Stones.But the question Biz is asking is about frontmen....not who is the greatest technical singer.
Great video clip from early 68 that the Stones did for this track. Black and White and Color versions were made and are on YT. Strange video but interesting
B sise to jumpin Jack flash. 1968. Melodeon made that sound. Early albums are too much in the mists of time. Start with Aftermath. Listen to HAND OF FATE.
The sound of "Child of the Moon" suggests it was recorded during the sessions for their 1967 album, Their Satanic Majesties Request, on which they experimented with a psychedelic sound in keeping with the times. But that's just an impression, not a verified fact. Check out "She's a Rainbow" and "2000 Light Years from Home" for a couple tastes. James Brown is the greatest front man of all time. He taught Jagger. Yes, More Hot Rocks is a compilation, a second compilation after Hot Rocks 1964-1971. Record companies used to release greatest hits and compilation albums all the time back when. Fans liked them because they came packed with hits and without filler and all for the cost of one album in contrast to the several records it would take to get all the songs otherwise. Hot Rocks was a double record and it was packed with all their hits from the sixties. I used to play it all the time when I was a teenager in the eighties.
Kind of a leftover from Satanic Majesties Reauest but only to a small extent. There is a demo of it dating to June 67 which is acoustic. In March of 68 they reworked the song and it was released as the B side of Jumping Jack Flash. They were moving away from the psychedelic sound on Majesties and going back to blues so this song is a transition piece. I always thought Satanic Majesties Request would have been so much better if Dandeloin and Child Of The Moon were on it and a couple of the clunkers removed

Child of the moon recorded in 68. The catalogue of stones is huge. Most people haven't heard their entire catalogue.
Yes Mick is the greatest front man he can out entertain anyone
This was the B side to Jumpin Jack Flash

That's a rare selection. Try Fingerprint File........very funky. You'll like it a lot.

Psychedelic Stones on the B side to Jumpin Jack Flash. Was also on the More Hot Rocks album. There are some great Stones songs from this period.
Ya. More Hot Rocks. Compilation.👍👍. I like when Keiths accompanying vocals build on the track. It strengthens Jaggers lead vocal.
Love this one. Very atmospheric.
Cindy!!!
Fuzz bass, fuzz guitar. '68. Cool sounds, good B-side.
Came out in '68.
B side to Jumping Jack Flash
This is a great track in it’s own right
Great riff and lyrics/vocal from Mick
Wonderful rhythm and drumming
This didn’t even make it onto an album but was included on More Hot Rocks a collection of B tracks and other lesser known tracks that most bands would be astounded to have in their arsenal.

Thanks for this reaction! Love this band. Never heard this song. Agree with your comments.

R.I.P. to the great Brian Jones, who founded the band. Listen to Psychic TV's song "Godstar" about Brian.
Recorded in 68

But DLR could not sing a note! Jumping around in ridiculous outfits and chugging tea from a Jack Daniels bottle on stage doesn’t count😂

Stones baby!
Yesssirr
Great video clip from early 68 that the Stones did for this track. Black and White and Color versions were made and are on YT. Strange video but interesting
You should check out the video for this song
68 just a b-side of Jumpin jack flash
Hot Rocks is a complication, .. Exile on Main Street by The Stones is worth loking into

Because we're not here any more. Try "Flight 505."
I'm shock how this band is still revelant when they tour they sell out stadiums !
🧸🌙
Biz, I'm sorry to use this platform to advocate for my wife, she needs you to do some Dave Mathews
lol that’s cool I’ll add that band to my list
Thank you, she will be ecstatic
Hey my guy, did I mention I can't get any until you review him😂😂😂seriously though, she's a big fan
Bon Scott is up there. Jim Morrison is up there.
I agree
