2:12 ... R.I.P Charlie Watts. During my teenage years in the vinyl era, I have been skipping the turntable arm back and forth listening carefully to this primitive yet stylish tempo change sequence, from shuffle to straight four, asking myself: how does he do it ?

[@douglaslee7873]

I've always loved that change - shuffle 12/8 to driving 4/4. Typical of Charlie to come up with something that keeps the track burning.

[@TheTriSec]

I have never been much of a Stones fan - but I do respect their body of work. This is one of the tracks that all the news stories were pointing to. Listening with "new ears" today. I'm a musician myself, and boy did that tempo change jump out at me. Great stuff.

What a groove!

[@dougieboosterseat2087]

Charlie Watts man. Begins with that simple swing on the high-hat and the snare. Speeds it up, adds some flairs with the high-hat. Slows it down briefly before transitions to double-time at 1:31 with alternating hands. While doing that signature Watts snare drum style (doesn't hit the high hat / snare at the same time, there-by accenting the snare). Slows down with the groove again and by 2:24 is playing back on one hand for the high hat with plenty of energy with the snare. For the finale he ditches the high-hat and goes for the ride and crashing cymbal work. Simple, effective, drum work.

I got this record when I was 14, and as with many Stones songs, I couldn't understand half of what Jagger was saying - I didn't care what the square root of 64 was, I wanted to know the lyrics to the songs on "Let it Bleed"! (And "Sticky FIngers," and "Beggar's Banquet," and ESPECIALLY the completely incomprehensible lyrics on "Exile on Main Street"). Eventually I found a couple of songbooks that had accurate lyrics to most of those albums, and then somebody invented the Internet and finally I knew what Mick was singing on "Casino Boogie" from "Exile".

I saw them when the screwed it up... and when they nailed it cold... but this song is a risk... which makes it that much better.

[@tomangelo5939]

100% agreed! If you listen to various live versions, especially from different shows throughout the 1969 tour of the U.S., you can hear that they often had a hard time with it. (If you search for Rolling Stones Killer Festival on here, you can probably find a very good bootleg of the tragic Altamont concert - what must this song have sounded like in a crowd of 300,000 with hundreds of Hells Angels randomly brutalizing, and actually murdering, fellow concert-goers?) Even during the 3 (or was it 4?) shows taped for the "Get Yer Ya-Yas Out!" live LP at Madison Square Garden, most of which you can find on KZbin, once they get to the "quiet" part - where the bass drops out on the record version - they kind of struggle to hit those beats at the same time. Still glorious, and this is one of my favorite Stones tunes ever.

My best friebd played guitar & harmonica & we would jam on his back porch. I loved to sing, thinking that remembering all the words in order was all there was to it. He gave me my first Harmonica,Koher Blues Harp; I learned by ear, no-one gave harmonica lessons. I was inspired by Black Sabbath's The Wizard & Alice Cooper's Generation Landslide, still I consider based on length of playing begining to end. The Rolling Stones Midnight Rambler is the ultimate Blues Harp song. A nod to Little Walter Jagger's said inspiration.
