I recently found the Newsweek review Brian mentions here. This is what Jack Kroll said about Sing This All Together: "Their masterpiece is that fantastic eight-minute pocket opera of a disoriented world, a perfectly articulated jetstream of sound which vacuums out of the air everything from pure melodies to fragments of conversations, screams, volcanic rumblings, mad ornithological croakings. Stravinskyan karate-chords, turning itself rhythmically inside out like a wind sock, and ending with a choral climax. It is the Stones' look into the abyss, their giant anthem of the new chaotic togetherness that leaves no one either connected or alone."

Brian deserved supportive mates during his crisis. Sadly, this didn't come to pass.

I listened to a 1964 radio interview of Brian after listening to this and it's so damn depressing how much he changed. From a confident intelligent man to this.

So interesting to hear his voice and how well-spoken he was. At the very end, what does he say in reply to 'This is just about the end of the tape'? 'This is just about the end of me/mine'?

Interesting and helpful to hear Brian himself say he played piano, organ and autoharp on Stones recordings. 😎🎶 At 1:10 he basically tells us that he played that fast soprano saxophone line on Citadel. 🎷🎶

This doesn't sound like someone who wasn't showing up to sessions, or when he was, too messed up to be productive, or being disinterested in being a Rolling Stone. Something really changed in the following year.

The trigger was his 2nd drugs bust on 21st May 1968: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnXRq42vqteZfpYsi=L1bVJoPrQVurX0Lj

The trigger was Keith and Mick stealing his band. I think even as late as 68, he was still significantly contributing, but was blindsided by his firing.

@grimmertwin2148 4 ай бұрын

Jagger supported Brian in court on this second charge. Maybe Keith had connected with Anita too. Either way Brian was set up, sloppy or stupid. Maybe unfulfilling creativity was killing him. If this was around Satanic Majesties that surprises me Maybe an introduction to Kenneth Anger played havoc with a bad trip. Who knows. I still like to blast the young songwriters I know with 2000 Man and 2000 Light Years From Home.

His musical presence tails off significantly and obviously after spring 1968. We only have 2 studio recordings that feature him from November 1968 - May 1969.

@erichschorr2609 4 ай бұрын

I feel the same way. A lot of what I’ve seen of him during that time is someone who was actively participating and coherent. I wonder how much of that narrative is Mick and Keith and their bullying and they probably had people on board with them as well. There were those present who simply saw and said nothing.

It’s February and Their Satanic Majesties is referred to as almost old history. Great album amidst the trials and separation with Andrew.

Gosh! I have heard a bit of this before. I didn’t notice before how much Brian’s speaking voice sounded like Marc Bolan. This interview is quite telling. I think this is the point where Brian is starting to lose his identity. I find it sad listening to him here. He is off. He says a lot but at the same time says not very much. He speaks eloquently enough but he is rambling and too caught up in the speak of the day. Quite infuriating to hear someone speaking this way and not as clearly as he once was. I mean not expressing himself clearly. A great historical moment but sad.

Yes, can hear and sense a disconnect.

@mitvoce6016 3 жыл бұрын

That's just the sound of soft-spoken middle class English. In Bolan's case it's a little bit more affected. In Brian's case it's natural.

@mitvoce6016 3 жыл бұрын

And if you wanna talk about disconnect - that springs more from his knowledge that he's not wanted by the band than from drugs. It's a nightmare trying to speak on behalf of an organisation that you're no longer a part of.

@doitnowvideosyeah5841 3 жыл бұрын

I don't think he sounds disconnected. Some insights into Satanic Majesties. The desire to get back to 'funky' which led to Beggars Banquet. From the description s I thought he would be totally off topic. Lots of interviews from 1968 are shaky

@danielkroha5440 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting. At the end he seems genuinely excited about the band's current direction (seems as though they are in the studio working on what would become Beggar's Banquet. Keith noodling on guitar in the background?). Kind of counters the claim that he "didn't see eye to eye with the discs they were cutting".

It's at a small studio/rehearsal room they used before recording sessions at Olympic for jamming, running through ideas etc.

@deeg8849 4 ай бұрын

Brian’s really rambling here. Sure what he says is under stable, but the concise articulate Brian of years earlier sadly has passed. Point o found semi interesting was when he was talking and someone else tells him to come along. Brian’s whole vibe changes between the pauses and his “I’ll be there in a minute reply”. Knowing what we now know, you can just feel it 4:44. Love the quote to Dylan’s “just like Tom’s thumb blues” with negativity don’t pull you through.

@TheaterPup 4 ай бұрын

I mean he’s using some hippy-trippy language, but I get what he’s saying. The band went through a lot of challenges in ‘67, and the Satanic album was a reaction to the isolation they felt from society. And they can’t go back to the way things were entirely, but they can recapture the essence of their original sound.
