I am 73, been listening to the Stones since I was 13 and still own their debut vinyl album. I can’t imagine we will ever see an iconic band like this ever again.
"Waiting on a Friend" from this album is immaculate (and the video features the building from the cover of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti). It's amazing it's as good an album as it is considering it was thrown together from outtakes and songs they'd been playing in concert because they wanted an album out ahead of their tour and didn't have time to write new material. The last of their eight consecutive #1 albums, it's their late-inning home run.
My brother was living in New York near to where they filmed the video for ‘Waiting On a Friend,’ he told me while he watched them that he was surprised how small Mick was. ✌️🤘
Yeah. A lot of Stones fans would find it sacrilegious for me to say this but I've never cared for 80s Stones music. Hang Fire, however, is a definite exception for me. Awesome song.
Dude, you can't possibly watch this without watching the Folksmen (The Spinal Tap guys) do a folk version of this song. ua-cam.com/video/g3WmYuUBvqA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RandomChet
@@adamp2029 That was a 1976 Waits lick, so it's definitely a possibility. Then again, Keef said it was lifted from a bootleg blues album he and Mick used to play, from a track titled "Shave 'Em Dry."
@@rlwetz4317 oh ok, I hadn’t heard that. I just figured it was possible since Keith and Tom were friends, or at least would become friends shortly after.
@@adamp2029 Well, yeah, that's why I say it's possible they heard it in Waits's song, knew it from some old, raunchy, Delta blues vinyl, and could no longer resist it. 😄
I just had a memory flood back to me rewatching this very late at night. I remembered singing the end to my Mom LOL.... my late, great momma Jo. And her eyes got all big and said... "WHAT DID YOU SAY??" LOL So I sang it again and she said "SSHHHHHHH down Rebecca Lynn!! omg! It doesn't actually say that in the song, does it?" Yes Mom, it does. "Oh my Lord.... well that's quite the gal then, isn't she." HAHAHAHAHA! I miss her everyday.

@@Renkk17they never played She’s So Cold on SNL. They were on as a band once in 78 and did Shattered Beast Of Burden and Respectable. They had been up for two days partying with Belishi and Ackroyd and Jaggers voice was shot. Still cool though
@@flyingburritobro68 All I remember then is it was a Saturday night seen them on tv playing She's so cold...and I always watched SNL back then, so it was on tv somewhere because MTV didn't start till the 80's
In 20 years from now, Mick will STILL be performing and their music will still be listened to! Lol I’ll Never be your Beast of burden. Another great one.
This may be my favorite Rolling Stones songs at a live show. Mick struts so hard when performing this, bringing the full-on Mick Attitude. He is magnificent, one of the best front men in all of rock.
I danced next to Mick at The Mudd Club. His people made everyone keep their distance but I had a huge knee brace on so they let me be. I couldn't sleep for 2 nights after that 😊
I took my 81 year old dad…a life long Stones fan…to see them in concert in May…first time for both of us😎 They played for a little over 2 hours…if they’d played all their hits, it would’ve been a 4 hour show. They were amazing. We were both pleasantly surprised how great they still sound. Mick moves around the stage great for a guy who’s also 81 & Keith Richards finally looks his age…he’s looked 80 for the last 45 years😆😅😂🤣 I gotta say fellas, if you ever get the chance to see them live, go see The Rolling Stones…you WILL NOT be disappointed.
agree a neighbor sold me an original copy this summer moving with the goats foot sleeve missing the liner notes but ok vinly is g.c. stones logo few weeks ago miss you came on indie radio in the cari paid like 5 dollars indie store 15 20 recent bin probably so was a good deal
@@marktait2371 I was bin crawling at a local college record store this past year and got a pristine copy with original goat's foot inner sleeve for $14! It has R L and Masterdisk in the deadwax so this one is an original Robert Ludwig mastering and it sounds superb!
The video is great too! From Mick's strutting dance in the beginning, to Keith's closeup coming in from the right, to Bill and Charlie smiling and rolling their eyes while the rest jump around…
Midnight Rambler, Angie, Time Waits for No One, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Stray Cat Blues, Love in Vain… loads & loads still to cover in the Stones rabbit hole.
They haven’t gotten to Jumpin’ Jack Flash?? I saw them at RFK on July 4, I think ‘72. When they got to this, up in the mezzanine where I was the floor was physically moving up and down to the beat, like a timed earthquake.
@@koshersalaami Hi mate. No they mentioned hearing it when they went to see The Stones last year but they haven’t done Flash on the Channel. Yeah my favourite live versions of most Stones classics are between 69-74 with Mick Taylor on lead Guitar. This was the best live period for Stones
Stones made their debut in 1964, just a year after the Beatles made their debut. Which makes the fact the Stones were still killing it in '81 all the more impressive.
You make a dead man "c-m"....as the ending lyric on the fade- I was 15 when this came out and EVERYBODY in my high school DID hear that lyric loud and clear
There are some very old blues songs from the 30's or 40's with that same lyrics. And a female artist actually sang it. So it's a thing that The Stones stole from the old blues men. Rolling Stones got all the money and the blues artists were left with a bottle of whiskey.
I'm a Beatles nut and my best friend was a Stones nut... ( you won't remember that back in the '60's for a while you were either a Stones fan or a Beatles fan ).. Anyway... one day he turned up at my door with a copy of this in his had and gave it to me.. Came in and said "Put It On Now" It's their best thing ever..... I had to agree with him and of course, I still love it.
I agree. It's an S. I'm in my 60's and I love the old Stones stuffg, but I put this right up there with their classic stuff. Incredible song. Excellent reaction.
Rolling Stones hits from the 80s: Undercover (Of The Night), One Hit (To The Body), Mixed Emotions, She’s So Cold, Emotional Rescue, and Waiting On A Friend, in no particular order.
1981, I was in grade 6 and this song was all over the radio and I was hooked on it. I remember it like it was yesterday, jumping on the bus to head over to the record store at the local mall, buying the 45, jumping on another bus to head back home to play it repeatedly for the rest of the day.
And this was my introduction to the Rolling Stones in the early 80s. I knew a couple of their songs, but not who they were. Being a teenager in the early 80s was an experience. Finally saw them live in the 90s.
Saw them once in the 80s and once in the 90s. Top form both times. I joked that Mick is still going to be dancing and prancing around in tight pants even when he's wearing depends.
This was our spring break song for some reason - just fun to sing along to loudly. The Stones have so many styles. One must categorize into several sections in order to even attempt picking their best ones.
I consider myself lucky that I got to see them in concert twice during their American Tour in 1981. The first concert was on 10/4/81 in Boulder, Colorado and the second time on 12/13/81 in Tempe, Arizona.
I've barely heard this song since it was all over the radio in that year. Because of that, I had some very vivid memories flood back listening to it again. Mostly riding my BMX bike through the Rich forested neighborhood about a mile from my house where you could just loop endlessly through beautiful curved streets. Also remember riding my friends Honda 50 up and down his street and into the field beside his house. Funny how idyllic some of it seems now!
One of the best experiences from my college days, Tattoo You Tour show at the Silverdome in Pontiac MI... Stones, Santana, Iggy Pop... Almost 100,000 people (festival seating)... Insane!
Saw the Stones Halloween 1981 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas! The Fabulous Thunderbirds and ZZ Top opened and ZZ Top was fabulous as always....the Stones weren't on stage long before the skies opened up and it rained...the Stones stayed on stage and kept going playing in the rain. My brothers went again the next day with scalper $10 tickets...it was beautiful, sunny and 85 degrees! The rain show is often talked about in Dallas on group pages...memories!!!
Best Stones - Some Girls, Tattoo You, and Emotional Rescue. This stretch of albums has our heroes as seasoned professionals with over a decade of experience. Not too complex, but solid from front to back.
Got my ear buds in listening to this and never heard the bass so forward in the mix.... Excellent.... I love being able it listen to any one of the instruments....
In 1967 when they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show the lyrics ‘let’s spend the night together “ had to be changed to ‘let’s spend some time together “ for broadcast tv
Ed Sullivan Show: well (and can’t confirm but there’s video somewhere) where Ed told Mick to change it… but… during the live performance… the song was sung as written. Following that… Ed told them, “You’ll never do my shoe again”… at which point Mick said… “Well, we already did.” Back in the day… getting on the Sullivan Show was a pinnacle of success and exposure.
I have been to 4 different Stones’ concerts (Houston, Munich, Chicago, & Houston again). They always had great intro musical groups & put on an amazing, high energy show. RIP Charlie Watts. 💔
Got a Sony Walkman II for Christmas in '81 at age 13. Tattoo You, Who's Next & Pink Floyd's collection of great dance songs were the first 3 cassettes purchased. The Tattoo You album is a must listen.
It's time to get back to The Who. Check out My Generation from their Live at Leeds album. An EPIC 15 minute medley with one bangin' riff after another. Raw and Powerful!!!
YESSSSSS!!! They also forgot the song who are you with the line"ah who the fuck are you"? That came out in 1978! It did get censored on the radio back then!😂
Yeah, these guys used to make records like this. When it first came out this song would just possess me every time it came on the radio or in a bar, and sometimes even just in my head. You really can't do classic rock any better than this.
If you are implying that the Beatles were more “edgy” you are way off. How about the 1965 lyric to the number one hit Satisfaction…..”I’m trying to make some girl who tells me baby better come back maybe next week cause ya see I’m on a losing streak”. She was saying she was on her period and wanted him to come back next week to do the deed. Radio didn’t ever catch it but those of us who were around knew!!
@@flyingburritobro68 Actually, I was implying the level of 'innuendo' evolved between the decades. Both referring to cumming, explicitly, but what they got away with in '69 (no pun intended) was a lot tamer than in 1981.
I got nipples on my titties, big as the end of my thumb, I got somethin’ between my legs’ll make a dead man come. Lucillle Bogan, 1935. From Shave 'Em Dry (written in the early 1920s). That's the source of the Stones' lyric. They know their history of the blues.
I saw the Stones in 1981 in New Orleans and they were great. They set the record for indoor concerts that day with 87,500 people in the crowd at the superdome. I live a couple hundred miles from NO and I saw so many people from my hometown there. I can’t believe it was more than 40 years ago but the music is still great and Mick and Keith are still performing. Amazing!
Just Waiting On A Friend, off this album is absolutely S-Tier!
Yes! Recorded for Goats Head Soup and didn't make the cut... crazy!
Agreed. It's one of their all-time best.
I am 73, been listening to the Stones since I was 13 and still own their debut vinyl album. I can’t imagine we will ever see an iconic band like this ever again.

Miss you is a track you can't overlook!
That whole album. Some Girls is the ONE.
@@lindab1945 Their appearance on SNL when Some Girls came out was sensational!
“Beast of Burden” should be next, and maybe “Waiting On A Friend” after that
"You make a dead man come." No higher praise was ever given.

One of the best opening songs for a concert. Classic.
Emotional rescue and she’s so cold from the same era are also amazing
great minds think alike!!
Hang fire and Neighbours are so great and son fun too. Same for Where thé boys go or Summer romance in ER.
Those are the exact two songs I was going to recommend. Two totally different vibes, but both amazing. ER may be my all time favorite Stones song.
I think I'll line up for Windows 95

I go see em whenever I can, Fred & Barney...
And Swifty got nothing!
'63
Greatest band ever
Paul McCartney got top 10 hits every year from 1963-1985
She's So Cold is my favorite song from this era. Mick' vocals and Charlie's drumming are on point.

Amen, from 1962 they still bring it in 2024
Makes me want to boot up Windows 95.
IKR
When I saw them the next year, they opened with "It's Only Rock and Roll"
I remember those commercials, also the ‘she’s a rainbow’ commercials for the iMac

Stones made their debut in 1964, just a year after the Beatles made their debut. Which makes the fact the Stones were still killing it in '81 all the more impressive.
"I love the Stones. Can't believe they're still doing it after all these years... Fred and Barney." -- Steven Wright
Epic.
I remember when I first heard that. I think it was The Tonight Show.
Keith Richards had the gift for creating hooks! This one, Satisfaction, long list that you recognize in 2 or 3 seconds.
I can Name That Tune in one note!
I guess that’s why he was known as “the human riff.”
Honky Tonk Woman
Some of them even came to him in his dreams.
Charlies drumming compliments the riff 100% on this track.
They could do a whole week on Stones classics. I’m thinkin Shattered next. Shaloobi. Waiting on a Friend and Angie for mellow hits.
Was there ever a video for shattered? My personal favorite
Yeah, Shattered is better than this one.
You make a dead man "c-m"....as the ending lyric on the fade- I was 15 when this came out and EVERYBODY in my high school DID hear that lyric loud and clear

I thought I was tired of this song… then I saw the Stones for the first time in Vegas in May… I was hoarse after singing this show opener!
This is some of the best rhythm guitar is rock history
This song always evokes roller skating rinks in the early-mid 80’s where I would hear it constantly… 😀🙏
This saw the Stones in early 2000's and THEY PLAYED FOR THREE HOURS!!!!! 😎💋👍🏼💋💋💋💋

In no way should anyone believe you can go through life believing this is the first time you've heard this song.
Probably the first time they sat down and listened to the whole song.
this song was recorded in 76. released in 81. and one of the great pure rock songs ever written.
If you guys claim you’ve never heard this song … ain’t no one gonna believe you.

my thoughts exactly
I know right ????????????? Even if you weren't a Stones fan....hell if you were a country fan you must have heard this on the radio.....LOL

@@kennethandrysiak4130 also happened with the Doors...they agreed then Jim Morrison sang the original lyrics and they were banned from his show
I have been to 4 different Stones’ concerts (Houston, Munich, Chicago, & Houston again). They always had great intro musical groups & put on an amazing, high energy show. RIP Charlie Watts. 💔
Stones ❤ Give "Harlem Shuffle" a try. It's from 1986 and it makes you move.
Saw them in June in Chicago and as I predicted to my friends before hand this would be the first song of their set and it was.
I vote for Hang Fire!
This transports me back to college. Wow the freakin' Stones.
Please do Emotional Rescue. This first part is all in falsetto. Very different!
Superb guitar work, intricate, bright, ageless. Opening tune on their tour. senior from Toronto
"Satisfaction" was #1 song in 1965
ICONIC Stones song. When I think of the Stones, I hear this song.
Slave and waiting on a friend from same album are very cool.
Got a Sony Walkman II for Christmas in '81 at age 13. Tattoo You, Who's Next & Pink Floyd's collection of great dance songs were the first 3 cassettes purchased. The Tattoo You album is a must listen.
It's time to get back to The Who. Check out My Generation from their Live at Leeds album. An EPIC 15 minute medley with one bangin' riff after another. Raw and Powerful!!!
YESSSSSS!!! They also forgot the song who are you with the line"ah who the fuck are you"? That came out in 1978! It did get censored on the radio back then!😂
i thought they did that. Perhaps it was on their Patreon.
@@zenclover8468 they did do that song but didnt discuss that fact!
Yeah, these guys used to make records like this. When it first came out this song would just possess me every time it came on the radio or in a bar, and sometimes even just in my head. You really can't do classic rock any better than this.
And it was censored on radio stations. You should also check out their cover of Harlem Shuffle. Another 80’s banger.
Stones formed in ‘62.
I remember seeing them on British TV around ‘64.
This whole album was actually great.
@@Lexy-O Yes.
You guys have no idea how cool this sounded when it first came on the radio in 1981. That riff! And I say that as someone who is not a Stones fan.
I am your knight in shining armour

This was the latter part of my 8th grade year. I remember hearing it in the halls of my junior high on someone’s boom box.
"You make a dead man come" - Mick Jagger, 1981
"Everybody had a wet dream" - John Lennon, 1969
If you are implying that the Beatles were more “edgy” you are way off. How about the 1965 lyric to the number one hit Satisfaction…..”I’m trying to make some girl who tells me baby better come back maybe next week cause ya see I’m on a losing streak”. She was saying she was on her period and wanted him to come back next week to do the deed. Radio didn’t ever catch it but those of us who were around knew!!
@@flyingburritobro68 Actually, I was implying the level of 'innuendo' evolved between the decades. Both referring to cumming, explicitly, but what they got away with in '69 (no pun intended) was a lot tamer than in 1981.
I got nipples on my titties, big as the end of my thumb,
I got somethin’ between my legs’ll make a dead man come.
Lucillle Bogan, 1935. From Shave 'Em Dry (written in the early 1920s).
That's the source of the Stones' lyric. They know their history of the blues.
Andy and Alex always point out stuff I took for granted. Thanks Gentlemen!
Two words WILD HORSES
I saw the Stones in 1981 in New Orleans and they were great. They set the record for indoor concerts that day with 87,500 people in the crowd at the superdome. I live a couple hundred miles from NO and I saw so many people from my hometown there. I can’t believe it was more than 40 years ago but the music is still great and Mick and Keith are still performing. Amazing!
You have to do DOO DOO DOO Heartbreaker next.....
