Satanic Majesties Request is also a better psychedelic album than Sgt. Peppers... I said it. The Beatles did the concept of the album better (via the costume design and promotion), but as an album experience I far prefer the Stones take on the genre.
@@Albertanator Citadel, The Lantern, 2000 Light Years From Home are all equal level or perhaps even better crafted songs than Lucy, or Day In A Life (which I don’t care for much at all) in my opinion.
Now I am an unabashed Stones nut, but that song is part of the greatest rock and roll album ever made. 18 tracks, double LP, rock 'n' roll, blues, country, rhythm & blues, soul and even a bit of gospel in that album. EXILE ON MAIN ST baby.
the effect on Mick's vocals is pure room. This was recorded live to tape in a basement. There's no post processing. This is just what jamming in a room sounds like.
Keith Richards rented a huge house in the south of France. He and Mick Jagger tried to have a new song idea ready every day around 5:00 PM, when the rest of the band would be arrived and ready to play, then they’d go to the basement and play all night. The result was a beautiful mess: someone eating breakfast at the kitchen table while someone else sat next to him, with headphones on, laying down a guitar part, friends, dope dealers, famous musicians wandering around or asleep on the couch, and hours and hours of amazing music. This went on for 3 months or so, then they went to Los Angeles, whittled the whole thing down to an hour or so, cleaned it up some and added some backing vocals, and put it out, the most amazing mess you’ve ever heard, the greatest thing they ever did or could ever do. Country, acoustic blues, electric blues, rock & roll, undefinable,… the Stones at their Rollingest. Sooner or later you have to hear the whole thing start to finish.
@@lathedauphinot6820 Yes, and when the sound engineers noticed the little Swastikas tiled into the basement floor, they asked Keith about it, and he told them: "Well, this was Gestapo headquarters for Southern France, you see - but don't worry, because we're here now!" Almost Hemingway'esque.
Just my opinion. The greatest rock and roll band of all time. This is the best album. Sweet Virginia is bluesy and kinda country with the twang. And are releasing their 1st studio album in 18 years. Been around for 61 years. Excellent reaction to a excellent song fellas. Much appreciated 🙏 ❤
Reds greens and blues are are all 60’s references to pills. The voice effect is a product of where they recorded the album. It was in a villa in France, they recorded most of it in the basement and hallways hence the echo. Glen and Andy johns were the engineers and world extensively with the stones. The producers was jimmy Miller who produced what is considered the stone’s greatest run of albums from beggars banquet to goats head soup. He also produced some of there non. Album singles like jumping jack flash and honky tone women
This whole album is a trip. The story behind how and where it was produced is a good one and worth diving into. BTW, the Stones just dropped brand new album of original songs, "Hackney Diamonds." 12 tracks. Mick Jagger is 80 years old!
That's right, everyone on his TRIP or in orgy together in Nellcote until the French police came. Anyone who could and was present played, see the list of the many guest musicians. That's why these short songs seem so spontaneous, rough, and musically immature. Then basic tracks came into the Sunset Sound Rc. in LA and were revised and supplemented from December 1971 to March 1972, e.g. including Billy Preston, apparently primarily under the command of M.J. Anyone who praises this album and especially the sound, should read the English Wikipedia what M.J. said about Exile 2003. You would be amazed, the total opposite. Or better: don't read it, it will spoil your innocent listening.
The producer/engineer/collaborator/drummer/6th-Stone, was Jimmy Miller, and he, indeed, was exactly the right guy at the right time. The combination of the Stones coming into their song-writing brilliance and Jimmy Miller "seeing" exactly who they were and knowing "how" to capture them on tape is a magical, perfect, mystery of the universe. Their 5-album run of masterpieces (Beggars Banguet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Mainstreet, and Goats Head Soup) is the output of that undefinable chemistry. It's the canon of Rock And Roll. The Bible that inspired or influenced almost everything in pop music that came later (even the bands that dont realize where the original vibe they are going for came from).
My favorite Stones album... balls out, strung out, hung down, and got down... worth listening to all four sides! There's a reason why they've been on top for 60 years
Thanks for this reaction. Sweet Virginia is a sort of obscure album track, but it's one of my all time favorite Stones songs. The saxophone is played by Bobby Keys, one of Keith's best friends (they were born on the same day, same year). Check out some live versions; Keys never plays the saxophone solo the same way twice!
Another great example of country rock fusion Rolling Stones style. It was artists such as the Stones, Neil Young, etc, that exposed me to new genres of American music.
The greatest album from the greatest Rock n Roll Band ever! Whole album is an AMAZING IDGAF glob of spit at the world n each track hits home! This is from my personal favorite side (side 2) I was lucky to see Mick Taylor here in Athens in the 80s n he signed my copy of Exile. Guys!! Do the whole album!!!
Stones have been my favorite band since I was 9 years old (I’m 60 now!), but I never saw them with Mick Taylor in the band. Those were peak years for the band. Man, am I jealous!
This song is one big jam session. Heads up the Rolling Stones are coming out with a new album they’re leading track is called Angry and I believe the album is coming out October 20th. There’s a video out for the new song you should check it out. They said in an interview that Charlie is on two of the songs playing drums because apparently they finished and recorded those two tracks back in 2019 when he was still alive. The rest of it is from the drummer that Charlie recommended to take his place, if anything should ever happen to him. I always said the Rolling Stones would rock til they drop! God bless them, and I am so grateful that they are still rocking and rolling. I plan on doing the same rocking with my kids and my grandchildren and making them promise to carry this music forward and I too will continue to go to concerts and play my guitar and rock till I drop.✌🏻🥰
Thanks for posting this one. This is a great song from a truly classic RR album. This has got blues, soul, gospel, country all rolled up. It was dirty bc it was recorded under rather dirty conditions. Jagger voice is twangy and real, pure, no fillers. Keep listening to the Exile On Main Street......
Rip This Joint, Loving Cup, Torn and Frayed, Ventilator Blues, All Down the Line, Stop Breakin Down -- are all off the Exile on Main Street album and are all bangers. Great reaction guys.
What a sweet thing to wake up to a reaction of Sweet Virginia! You guys are awesome. They just released Angry, from their 1st new album in 18 years. The official video out and worth a look, for fun. It's an amazing production. Still the Stones sound they've done for 60 years. Can't believe it! Thanks for this, one of all time favorites, Bobby Keys playing sax throughout.
As noted below, most of this album was recorded in Keith Richards' house in France. They had the band set up all over the house in different rooms, including a damp basement with dirt floors. The Stones built a mobile recording truck with tape machines and mixers that was parked outside the house and the intercoms in the truck didn't work so they'd be running back and forth from the truck to the house. Those sonics were the house itself. Really amazing! From that album, I'd suggest Rocks Off, Shine a Light, Soul Survivor and Torn and Frayed. Exile on Main Street is an amazing album!
Some Bobby Keys on that almost country blues trip!! ROTFLMAO You guys are right on with your reactions / reviews. Don't stop y'all. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Fantastic song👍 buuuut, there is a live video of them doing that song...." Sweet Virginia live Dallas 1972" that is really worth seeing on y'all's own time now that y'all have heard the song.
Love, love, love this one and have been hoping you would get to it! There is an excellent live version from their ‘72 tour. Original is really nice too. Thank you guys! Glad you enjoyed it too. Playing a song like this, there is nowhere to hide if you miss. I’ve seen this live 15-16times, it’s in a nice section of the show, often on a small remote stage 150’ or more from the main stage. Very club-ish and gets another part of the audience front row seats on 4 sides for a bit.
The Stones albums “Tattoo You”, Voodoo Lounge” and “Bridges to Babylon” all have a lot of great songs on them. Would love to see your reaction to all three sometime.🎶
The thing that threw and intrigued me off the top when this came out and came on the radio - the new Stones album - was the drop down to the major two(M2 - A major) instead of the five -D major. Song's in G, progression starts on the four - C-A-G, etc.etc., eventually hits the expected, more obvious chords as it turns around. Cool AF 😎
I cannot stop watching! You are actually doing deep cuts. Thank you so much. I needed a Stones marathon. ❤ Yes this album was soaked in sex, drugs and nice catch about the speed in his shoes. As a youngster I took that literally. Now I know what he really meant.
Love how you guys react to the music AND the extra aspects, such as production and engineering. One of my favorite reaction channels. Enjoying your journey from here in St. Louis--keep up the great work!
I really liked listening to your reaction. You make a pretty good team. You talk about what you hear and think of it. It is interesting to listen to your opinion. Thanks for your work.:-)
I can't find who engineered this specific track but the album was engineered by Joe Zaganno, Andy Johns, and his brother Glyn Johns (Andy and Glyn were very famous in the recording world and also worked with Led Zeppelin - plus Glyn worked with all the big bands back then, including the Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and many others). It was produced by Jimmy Miller who also produced famous bands such as Traffic and Blind Faith.
I love you guys! The Stones have used many great engineers and certainly Jimmy Miller did a fantastic job on Exile. However, I believe the individual most responsible for the Stones sound and the continuity of that sound over the decades is Keith Richards. Yes the reds, greens and blues are pills, and the desert in this case is Joshua Tree a reference to Gram Parsons(RIP). Keith was getting into country music at the time and hanging out with Gram Parsons. Again, really enjoying your reactions to the Stones, especially your choices including Heartbreaker! Have you gotten a t-shirt yet? 😂
This song is an example of the influence of Gram Parsons who hung out with Keith Richards at his Villa in the south of France for the better part of 2 years, where the Stones also did recordings. Gram Parsons was a wealthy Trust Fund Kid, talented, who loved Country Music & Heroin. Gram Parsons was in the Submarine Band, The Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers, with Emmy Lou Harris, and did 2 solo albums before he Overdosed in a Hotel room in Joshua Tree, California.
Love, love, love this song! So many layers of instrumentation and Mick’s vocals (and the backup vocals) are stellar. This whole album is fantastic. For me, Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers are the two greatest rock records in the history of rock ‘n roll.
Jimmy Miller is the engineer that made their sound much more up front . He was the prefect match up with the bands desired sound that they aimed for ..
Speaking of recording engineers, legendary Glyn Johns did most of it on the Stones' greatest tracks. He also engineered for Led Zeppelin, the Who, even the Beatles. Brilliant man.
Research Stones productions. Exile was supposedly unique with the # of session players that joined and the live vibe sound quality. Also, on exile they would cut recordings early in the AM to get a special authenticity. You can hear Jagger is wasted tired. Love it. Real gems on exile.
BROS, This song is killer! From my favorite album track, "Exile on Main Street", a double record set. Another great song by the Stones, is "Miss You", another you both should like. Even though their sound is recognizable, they always manage to keep their music fresh. THANK YOU!
They had so many issues w the sound in the basement that they had to put Charlie Watts and the drum kit down at the end of a long hallway. The sound board was in the Stones mobile studio (the first of its kind) up in the driveway. At one point, most of Keith's guitars got stolen. He and his wife, Anita Pallenberg were hooked on smack at the time, so was Gram Parsons who came out to visit for a time till Mick insisted he beat it. Casino Boogie is another great under-the-radar track with Keith doing a great backing vocal. I went thru a period where I just listened to this album over and over for a couple months. Such a diverse work.
I'm glad you did this one. There are so many Stones songs that weren't hits but are classic nonetheless. I'll add a few more. She's a Rainbow, Let it Bleed (the song), Monkey Man, Moonlight Mile, Winter, Time Waits for No One, Memory Motel.
The Stones weren't into much Post editing effects, instead they chose places that gave them the ambient sound they needed. Having the world's first Mobile Recording rig, they were able to record anywhere they wanted. Exile on Main Street was named because they were in exile from paying the high tax rates in England so they escaped to France and took residence in country villa where recording equipment, instruments and mics were in every room and hallway of the house and used according to what Keith and Mick wanted for certain sound quality, and it worked. What is cool about this album is that event these dudes are a HUGE part of the original British Invasion, their obsession influence with American blues made them a premier example of Classic Americana in music. Listening to this album you would think they were from the swamps of the south or something.
This is arguably the best Rolling Stones album and it's worth a deep dive. They explore many genres of music: blues, gospel, country, rock. It has the hits Tumbling Dice and Happy but it's full of lesser known but great songs. Rocks Off, All Down The Line, Torn and Frayed, Loving Cup, Soul Survivor, and Rip This Joint would all be good candidates for a reaction.
I used to play this one in a country rock band. People who dress in country garb have been known to be described as kickers and I always inferred the reference.
Amazing!! Great track from Exile... this,.. gentlemen is just another reason these guys are who they are... The Greatest RocknRoll band of all time.... there are no voice filters going on here... this album was recorded at Keith's house in the south of France... they used different areas of the house to get different effects...for example.. Charlie would set his drums up in a different room on certain tracks etc etc... and to all who think Zep is a better RocknRoll band... keep in mind that Zep never was a RocknRoll band... they were a Hard Rock band as The Beatles were a Pop band... no disrespect to either Zep or the Beatles (both faves of mine as well)... but nobody could do RocknRoll like the Stones... nor still can't.... Exile is considered by many Music purists including myself as the greatest RocknRoll album of all time.... track after track simply Amazing.... dig into this one gents.. it's a must have for every library!!
No more superlatives can be applied to the Stones….a song about the drug trade sounds so good! Thanks guys for the production insight, now i know I chose the wrong profession lol. So much for being an Elect Engr lol! Cheers!
Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Mainstreet: The greatest arc in rock and roll history.
Satanic Majesties Request is also a better psychedelic album than Sgt. Peppers... I said it. The Beatles did the concept of the album better (via the costume design and promotion), but as an album experience I far prefer the Stones take on the genre.
@@iheartcicada Wow.....now that is a bold statement.....though nothing touches Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds or Day in the Life......
@@Albertanator Citadel, The Lantern, 2000 Light Years From Home are all equal level or perhaps even better crafted songs than Lucy, or Day In A Life (which I don’t care for much at all) in my opinion.
Truth
Track by track this album is good, but it really shines when taken in as a whole. It's just a vibe.
The best one. As a whole thing.
Exactly!!
TOTALLY AGREE!!! Needs to be listened to all at once.
This record and Sticky Fingers.... Top notch
saying that Exile On Main St. is "good" is the understatement of the century
Now I am an unabashed Stones nut, but that song is part of the greatest rock and roll album ever made. 18 tracks, double LP, rock 'n' roll, blues, country, rhythm & blues, soul and even a bit of gospel in that album. EXILE ON MAIN ST baby.

It's called Nell Cote, and it's still there. It was also the Southern France HQ of the Gestapo during World War II.
@@Contractnik I didn’t know it was Gestapo HQ.
@@lathedauphinot6820 Yes, and when the sound engineers noticed the little Swastikas tiled into the basement floor, they asked Keith about it, and he told them: "Well, this was Gestapo headquarters for Southern France, you see - but don't worry, because we're here now!" Almost Hemingway'esque.
@@Contractnik That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all day. Thank you for that!

Can’t help but hear the guitar intro to Torn and Frayed starting up when this song ends. Always been a favorite of mine..
Such a sneaky good song. It’s about Keith’s addiction, and he sings harmony thru the whole cut.
The song isn’t over until you hear someone say “Far out!” at the very end.
My favorite Stones album... balls out, strung out, hung down, and got down... worth listening to all four sides!

This and Dead Flowers are my favorite Stones songs. Amazing pieces of music.
As noted below, most of this album was recorded in Keith Richards' house in France. They had the band set up all over the house in different rooms, including a damp basement with dirt floors. The Stones built a mobile recording truck with tape machines and mixers that was parked outside the house and the intercoms in the truck didn't work so they'd be running back and forth from the truck to the house. Those sonics were the house itself. Really amazing! From that album, I'd suggest Rocks Off, Shine a Light, Soul Survivor and Torn and Frayed. Exile on Main Street is an amazing album!
Whatever genre The Stones do they add cool to it…. The Stones are the epitome of cool 😎
This would be a fantastic choice for a full album review 😊
Hit the nail on the head, the engineer is an MVP
Exile is EPIC. In a career of monster recordings, this is the Stones...gritty, dirty, bluesy, telling you just what it is.
The high vocals are perfection
Whole album is amazing but this song is truly special.
Great reaction, guys! Y'all really get it! Much love and thanks for the great content you consistently give us!
Some Bobby Keys on that almost country blues trip!! ROTFLMAO

Fantastic song👍 buuuut, there is a live video of them doing that song...." Sweet Virginia live Dallas 1972" that is really worth seeing on y'all's own time now that y'all have heard the song.
Reds, Yellow Jackets, the “Abbots” (red, blue, or green) and Rainbows are some of the street names given to barbiturates in the 60s and 70s.
It's their best album, in my opinion!!

I could listen to this song on repeat all day, just for Keith’s backing vocals on the chorus!
The way the song starts you'd never expect it to finish up with a sax solo.
Jagger always plays a nice harp. I'm binge watching all your Stones reactions. Really fun
Live version 1972.
Needs to be seen, by you.
Love, love, love this song! So many layers of instrumentation and Mick’s vocals (and the backup vocals) are stellar. This whole album is fantastic. For me, Exile on Main Street and Sticky Fingers are the two greatest rock records in the history of rock ‘n roll.
Love the 🎉stones
and some Mick😊

Jimmy Miller is the engineer that made their sound much more up front . He was the prefect match up with the bands desired sound that they aimed for ..
Glyn Johns and his son Andy Johns were the engineers on Exile on Main Street
Speaking of recording engineers, legendary Glyn Johns did most of it on the Stones' greatest tracks. He also engineered for Led Zeppelin, the Who, even the Beatles. Brilliant man.
The great Bobby Keys on saxophone.
These guys spent a lot of time with the old blues master in the South and Chicago. The love the American Blues!
Research Stones productions. Exile was supposedly unique with the # of session players that joined and the live vibe sound quality. Also, on exile they would cut recordings early in the AM to get a special authenticity. You can hear Jagger is wasted tired. Love it. Real gems on exile.
BROS, This song is killer! From my favorite album track, "Exile on Main Street", a double record set.
Another great song by the Stones, is "Miss You", another you both should like.
Even though their sound is recognizable, they always manage to keep their music fresh.

They had so many issues w the sound in the basement that they had to put Charlie Watts and the drum kit down at the end of a long hallway. The sound board was in the Stones mobile studio (the first of its kind) up in the driveway. At one point, most of Keith's guitars got stolen. He and his wife, Anita Pallenberg were hooked on smack at the time, so was Gram Parsons who came out to visit for a time till Mick insisted he beat it. Casino Boogie is another great under-the-radar track with Keith doing a great backing vocal. I went thru a period where I just listened to this album over and over for a couple months. Such a diverse work.
Tip o' the hat to Gram Parsons
I'm glad you did this one. There are so many Stones songs that weren't hits but are classic nonetheless. I'll add a few more. She's a Rainbow, Let it Bleed (the song), Monkey Man, Moonlight Mile, Winter, Time Waits for No One, Memory Motel.
Yes, I got the desert in my toenail
And I hid the speed inside my shoe.😆
If that ain't 70's then I don't know what is.
Country blues, plus a lot of British irony and finesse.
The Stones have several songs that almost have a country feel, and buddy they nail it.
GREAT reaction guys.
I have a whole playlist of around 20 songs going back to the mid 60’s of the Stones doing country.
There is a great documentary about recording Exile at Keith's house in the south of France in the basement with a non stop party going on.
Do the entire album, you will be in awe
Need some more stones reactions! Street fighting man,under my thumb,ventilator blues, hand of fate
Love watching you guys .....actually on this Album (Exile) Jagger and Richards , did their own mixing
The Stones weren't into much Post editing effects, instead they chose places that gave them the ambient sound they needed. Having the world's first Mobile Recording rig, they were able to record anywhere they wanted. Exile on Main Street was named because they were in exile from paying the high tax rates in England so they escaped to France and took residence in country villa where recording equipment, instruments and mics were in every room and hallway of the house and used according to what Keith and Mick wanted for certain sound quality, and it worked.
What is cool about this album is that event these dudes are a HUGE part of the original British Invasion, their obsession influence with American blues made them a premier example of Classic Americana in music. Listening to this album you would think they were from the swamps of the south or something.
One of the Stones greatest songs!!
This is arguably the best Rolling Stones album and it's worth a deep dive. They explore many genres of music: blues, gospel, country, rock. It has the hits Tumbling Dice and Happy but it's full of lesser known but great songs. Rocks Off, All Down The Line, Torn and Frayed, Loving Cup, Soul Survivor, and Rip This Joint would all be good candidates for a reaction.
Can't deny Charlie Watts
I used to play this one in a country rock band. People who dress in country garb have been known to be described as kickers and I always inferred the reference.
This is my favorite Stones album. Likely because it’s Mick Taylor heavy. You guys should react to the whole album.
Amazing!! Great track from Exile... this,.. gentlemen is just another reason these guys are who they are... The Greatest RocknRoll band of all time.... there are no voice filters going on here... this album was recorded at Keith's house in the south of France... they used different areas of the house to get different effects...for example.. Charlie would set his drums up in a different room on certain tracks etc etc... and to all who think Zep is a better RocknRoll band... keep in mind that Zep never was a RocknRoll band... they were a Hard Rock band as The Beatles were a Pop band... no disrespect to either Zep or the Beatles (both faves of mine as well)... but nobody could do RocknRoll like the Stones... nor still can't.... Exile is considered by many Music purists including myself as the greatest RocknRoll album of all time.... track after track simply Amazing.... dig into this one gents.. it's a must have for every library!!
Tedeschi Trucks live version with The Wood Brothers of Sweet Virginia is definitely worth a listen.!
No more superlatives can be applied to the Stones….a song about the drug trade sounds so good! Thanks guys for the production insight, now i know I chose the wrong profession lol. So much for being an Elect Engr lol! Cheers!
Greatest Rock N Roll Band ever 🤘
