I also heard or read that she was pregnant at the time too and I read that she suffered a miscarriage a short time later. Her vocals are one of the best parts of this song, in my opinion! Take care.. great comment!

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

I think there's a lot of lore around Merry’s vocal session with the Stones. While it’s all true that she was wearing curlers, was pregnant, and that it was in the middle of the night (Stones often worked during those odd hours), her miscarriage cannot be related to the session. She frequently makes the correlation, but there's no scientific study that says singing can cause a miscarriage.

Midnight Rambler on Ya Ya's- greatest live song ever. This is why they were at that time untouchable.

[@jraben1065]

1969-74 is often considered the greatest musical period for the Rolling Stones. The Stones had Mick Taylor on lead-guitar, and he was one of the true greats, adding technical skill and a deep Blues feel to their music. And as a result, Keith Richards was free to mostly play rhythm, and he created some of the catchiest and nastiest rhythm guitar ever recorded. Their work in studio and live performances through to 1974 helped label the Stones "The Greatest R&R Band in the World". For amazing studio performances with the Taylor-Richards combo, try "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "Sway", and "Winter".

[@L33Reacts]

Damn I had that mixed up. I thought mick was on rhythm 😕 i thought it said that on wiki but what the hell does that thing know 😆😆

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Indeed, the Taylor years represent a musical zenith for the Stones, but their golden run of albums precedes him and starts at the end of the Brian Jones era/beginning of the Jimmy Miller era. Thus, the peak is really from 1968 to 1972: Beggars Banquet (1968), Let It Bleed (1969), Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out (1970), Sticky Fingers (1971), and Exile on Main St. (1972). Taylor did not come on board until the very end of the Let It Bleed sessions, contributing to two songs: “Country Honk” and “Live with Me.” As a live act, the tours from 1969 to 1973 were unquestionably their apex, especially Europe 1973. Taylor’s brilliant, melodic playing certainly added a dynamism to their sound that elevated the entire group.

[@jraben1065]

@@fuchsiaswing8545 I think you'r right about Taylor joining late-69, and Keith was playing lead on "Gimme Shelter". By 1968 Mick and Keith had reached peak song-writing skill on Beggars Banquet, and continued writing at that peak through to 1973 Goats Head Soup (a very under-rated album). Mick Taylor joining added a lot to that mix, but the Stones were already on fire by 1968. Although Taylor's soaring leads are generally my favorites, much of his power comes from Keith's dirty rhythm playing. And although Richards was less "technical", his leads always had a really great feel.

[@d2d2d28]

So agree and I think most Stones fans would agree as well!

[@AaronJoseph-t4b]

Couldn't have said better myself,Mick Taylor ECLIPSED Brian Jones on Guitar for Lead riffs,fills, melody, keeping the Blues sauce THICK AS A BRICK, I Love Woody,he can clone Kieth on the Axe,but he's still a third stringer

My all time favourite guitar tag team is Keith Richards and Mick Taylor. Their different styles compliment each other perfectly. Keith's chugging rhythm with Taylor's awesome bluesy lead. By the way, on "Midnight Rambler", the guitar in the right channel is Keith, and Mick Taylor in the left. The original version is also from LET IT BLEED.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

To clear up a couple of things, Brian Jones, the founder of the Stones, was dismissed in June 1969 during the Let It Bleed sessions; he died less than one month later. His demise remains one of rock's greatest tragedies, and by the end of his tenure with the Stones, his contribution to the group was more or less futile. He was replaced by guitar virtuoso Mick Taylor, who came from John Mayall's The Bluebreakers-the same John Mayall that gave us Eric Clapton and Peter Green. Taylor was only 20 years old upon gaining membership with the Stones. On "Gimmer Shelter," from the seminal Let It Bleed (1969), Richards does all the guitar work. Taylor only plays on "Country Honk" and "Live With Me," as he was late into the sessions. However, he would significantly contribute over the next few years, especially during their live tours from 1969 to 1973. On the 1969 North American Tour, the genesis for modern-day touring, Taylor helped bring the Stones back as a potent live musical force who could compete with any band on any night. Before this, they had not toured in almost two years (Europe, 1967) while still playing with psychedelia and baroque pop. Additionally, Brian's alienation and diminishing abilities and the perpetual hounding by British authorities severely hindered the band during this period. What you're hearing on Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out (1970) is from that 1969 Tour, which highlights two Madison Square Garden shows in New York. Believe it or not, this is remarkably tame or subdued compared to the tours of 1972 and 1973, where Taylor is fully unleashed and proved himself a guitar god on the level of Page, Clapton, Beck, Green, Gallagher, etc. While Taylor's time with the Stones was short, from 1969-1974, most consider it the height of the Stones' prowess. Their golden run of albums, however, precedes him and begins at the end of Brian's era and the beginning of their relationship with producer Jimmy Miller: Beggars Banquet (1968), Let It Bleed (1969), Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out (1970), Sticky Fingers (1971), and Exile on Main St. (1972).

The last line "I'll stick my knife right down your throat, and baby it hurts" is just a little scary.

[@barryderby]

Charlie was just the greatest drummer. He was a jazz man at heart, though he loved playing for the Stones, and it made him very sensitive. His drumming always served the music, no flash, just solid but perfect. He even used his original toy drum kit on Jumping Jack Flash! Although it sounds as ifvhe is driving the beat, Keith led, slightly ahead of the beat, and Charley followed slightly behind, creatin tension. Keith played an open tuned guitar with 5 strings. If you watch fairly recent live performances he often takes his hands right off the fretboard. Interestingly, a lot of his most famous riffs were played on an acoustic guitar which he recorded onto a cassette recorder ramped up to the point of distortion.

Very cool to witness you discovering/appreciating the brilliance of the Stones. Particularly appreciating your appreciation of Bill Wyman (the Stones' secret weapon) and the unique open tuned 5-string guitar sound Keith started developing around '68, heard live for the 1st time on the '69 tour and highlighted so well in the Ya Yas Midnight Rambler. Keith's new (tho not noted as such then) guitar sound was likened to "rusty chrome" by some writer or other whose name I wish I could remember, in reference to to the iconic Ya Ya's set & l.p. opener Jumping Jack Flash specifically....it was in a review. Rock on, thanx again 👍

Midnight Rambler studio version is on Let It Bleed… as good as the live one is I have to say the studio one lets you really hear all the snarling sinister innuendos of Mick’s delivery. So worth a listen. Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers are just straight up put them on and don’t skip anything!! Still listen to these albums that way

You are correct! This song is something special. Always a good one. Keith Richards is still kicking and helped to preform a song for Playing for Change. It is called: 'Words of Wonder'/'Get Up Stand Up'. If you curious, take a moment. Thank you so much for sharing this one.
