There are a few great performances from their 1972 tour on KZbin. The Mick Taylor years are the peak and the shows from 69-73 are untouchable.

I'm 74. I was there for all these at MSG.

Greatest Rock n Roll band ever 🤘🤘

[@custardflan]

Imho, best live album ever. For me Sympathy is best version ever, two great guitar solos for the price of one.

[@trajan6927]

Get Yer Ya Ya's Out and Live At Leeds.

[@EneriGiilaan]

@@trajan6927 I would add Brussels Affair - but yes.

[@bjwnashe5589]

Yes. Keith takes the first solo. A fine solo. Then Mick Taylor just slays with the second solo. This version of the Stones, with Keith Richards and Mick Taylor, is peak rock and roll music.

[@bjwnashe5589]

This shit is on fire!

[@dignan4]

Damn, what a great performance. I didn’t realize JJF had been released in 1969! I’m happy as a pig in clover to be on this Stones ride with you two and the rest of us! You guys are fantastic. Thank you

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

1968 for JJF single, but who's counting? 🤓

[@jebrindle9380]

It was released in 1968

[@rickeylucero3955]

Can't wait till she hears the variety of of the greatest rock band ever. Let it Bleed through Tattoo You is it!!

[@custardflan]

This is the same tour that ended at Altamount. You get a taste of the chaos they engendered, almost encouraged.

[@MrBedZeppelin]

As a younger lad, me and a friend of mine who loved The Stones would compare/battle WHO was better. I would bring my stack of Zeppelin records over to his house and we nitpicked a lot of solos, styles and grooves. Of course, is there ever a winner when you compare two phenomenal bands, in 1979. I was young and life was long, and we had time to kill that day. Ironically, he ended up in the Happy Home and I just carry around The Led. Great Live footage! Keith Richards was fire that night! Thanks, as always!

[@trajan6927]

So you two decided that The Mighty Who was the better band of the three😁

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Wow, finally a reactor channel delving into the Stones the right way. While the 1969 Tour was phenomenal, they'd only get better as the shackles loosened on Taylor. By Europe 1973, I don't think there was a live band that could match them for consistency night-for-night. They rarely had an “off” performance in the Taylor years.

[@neiloliver4745]

The only guitar team I would even mention in the same breath was Peter Green and Danny Kirwan.

[@neiloliver4745]

The original "Brussels Affair" bootleg may be the best live rock n' roll album ever. Why they put inferior alternate versions of the songs on the official release I'll never understand. Taylor/Richards were at their absolute peak.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

@@neiloliver4745Peter and Danny were one of the greatest guitar tandems in rock and roll history. It's a shame it was so short-lived. The Boston Tea Party gigs from 1970 are among my favorite. As for Brussels Affair, there are two different shows from Brussels, and I know there are some gripes over how they mixed the album for its release commemorating the 50th anniversary of Goats Head Soup. Taylor’s mixed a little low, but there are a few postings on KZbin that have tried bringing him more to the forefront. The Wembley shows from 1973 are worth checking out, as well.

[@trajan6927]

The Who from 1967 to 1975 could match any band night for night.

[@StevenMichals0812]

When they got to Altamont , they had Hells Angels as bodyguards, and all hell broke lose. See the film Gimmee Shelter.

[@jbstonesfan]

You guys have great test as the Stones are simply the most iconic band of all time . Not as popular as some , but as a rock and roll band, better than all.

[@youngmeldrew]

Whats also noticeable is how well Jagger is singing. He manages to invoke a swagger in his delivery. A far cry from the incoherent shouting he adopted in the mid 70s.

[@BV-nx6vq]

Fire - wish i'd been there for this in '69. Picking up Mick Taylor after Brian Jones passing was a great move for The Stones imo, filling out their sound with his very tasty, bluesy playing 👍

[@MusicforBusyPeople]

Yes, the Mick Taylor years are the best!

[@Micknkeithable]

These were brand new jams at the time. All classics to this day

[@dactah5177]

No overdubs. Recording is unchanged in 55 years. I was at all the shows that year in Madison Square Garden. In that place, at that time and still to this day unequaled.

[@Patrick_B687-3]

And I’ve been listening to this record for most of my 56 years, still not tired of it.

[@neiloliver4745]

The live footage is from the film "Gimme Shelter" which documents that 1969 American tour that ended the disaster at Altamont, including the on-camera murder of a fan by the Hell's Angels. "Stones In The Park" is earlier, excerpts from the first show with Mick Taylor/memorial to Brian Jones, "Live At The Marquee" and "Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones" are peak Stones on DVD. The bootleg albums from Altamont and the bootleg called "Brussels Affair" (not the official release of the same name) plus the live shows included on the super deluxe box set of "Sticky Fingers" are essential, when Taylor/Richards were the greatest guitar team on the face of the earth. And there is also the infamous bootleg of the no holds barred "Cocksucker Blues" film that they shelved to keep from getting themselves thrown in jail for all the sex and drugs caught on camera.

[@itsmedrooms6071]

Yeah, the Gimme Shelter documentary with the whole Hells Angels, Altamont fiasco was fascinating. You can see Michael Shrieve, the drummer from Santana warning Jerry Garcia of what was going on and as a result I think they pulled out of the gig. Towards the end of the film they slowed the video down where you can actually see a gun and the large dagger in mid strike outlined against a girl’s white crochet dress; powerful stuff. So much for a West Coast Woodstock and whoever decided to use the Hells Angels as security was guilty of gross incompetence.

[@neiloliver4745]

@@itsmedrooms6071 If you haven't read them, both Stanley Booth and Sam Cutler's books put you right there with them. Writers who weren't actually there either blame the Stones or the Dead, but there was plenty of bad decision-making to go around.

[@itsmedrooms6071]

@@neiloliver4745 Well I do know that the Hells Angels actually had a UK chapter back then and apparently the Angels over there are a lot more tame than their American counterparts, so somebody went on an incorrect assumption, but that’s just a theory. I guess the books might provide more insight… or not. Jagger and Watts at the end were dismayed at what happened reviwing the footage, but weren’t very apologetic leading me to believe it wasn’t their decision, at least the band members… but that’s just my take on it and I might be completely wrong. Usually bands at that level aren’t responsible for all the logistics like that, especially on a major overseas tour. They pay a whole support team and management as well as label support to take care of all that stuff and to make those kinds of decisions. Mel type guys Lol.

[@adambaldridge2348]

American tour had ended. Altamont was a free concert hatched by the Bay area hippies. It was not part of the great 69 U.S. tour...

[@andrewbrennan7291]

The Stones are very organic on stage

[@someguy7993]

Keep in mind that back in 1969, most of the other bands that would play a concert stood there on the stage like their feet were glued to the floor. The Stones came out and moved around on stage like no one else did back then.

[@carm44035]

Except The Who.

[@philbrown9866]

The who at the circus, you are forgiven

[@domenicgalata1470]

Yes. It’s called cocaine. In the bootleg concert film Cocksucker Blues you see them backstage doing finger size rails of coke. With straight whiskey to cut the edge.

[@devildart]

Yeah, except for maybe the who, grand funk, Led Zeppelin, vanilla fudge, Jimi Hendrix the stooges and the mighty the MC5. They were all blowing minds on stage back then.

[@marketingTUNEUP]

Best ver SFD Ya Ya!! Thank You. Totally diff then much earlier studio ver. Taylor shines here esp on 2nd and final solos. JJF was great to see actual footage also

[@dactah5177]

That song was a brilliant rendition and still to this day remains one of the best performances of Honky Tonk women they've ever done. It was intentionally sped up and the dynamic changed to flow seamlessly into street fighting man which was another brilliant, energized and ferocious version to close out the show. And "busted my buttons" comment came much earlier in the show.

[@badadam12]

You need to show her the concert where Keith clocks someone with his guitar then keeps playing. That's a good one!

[@marcusbetancourt3760]

In my book the Greatest Rock n' Roll Group that has ever been even to this day are "The Rolling Stones". Altogether they make "The Beatles" Number Two"! "The Rolling Stones are Numero Uno" and they always will be. The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin Rule! Like it or not, agree with it or not it is what it is just like the band Chicago and CCR. They were the Greatest. Period!

[@JulioFGX]

Rocks off the rolling stones

[@badadam12]

There's a documentary on YT that is about the song Jumping Jack Flash. It covers the creation of the song and also discusses that it is the only song that the stones play in every concert since it's creation. It might be played as an opener, somewhere in the middle or as a closer. I find stuff like that fascinating.

[@tommytbone9778]

i`M WITH DEV even though everyone knows to get your proper Stones YA YA`s out that live album is the only one BUT for entertainments sake the 70s Marshall amps/video are the proper selection Mike, do your Lady a rocking solid until then... Keep on Rockin out the reactions and giddyup MUSIC for BUSY PEOPLE

[@joelong7448]

In most instances I usually like the early works/shows. With The Rolling Stones, I think they became much better performers probably 10 yrs. in.

[@LONEEAGLE_space_rock]

Stones on Fire, the Satanic Tour 69 ; a Samba slowed this down, but this version is driven hard, Mick Taylor takes this to another dimension

[@nazfrde]

At some point you probably want to have the "Keith's 5-string open tuning guitar vs. regular 6-string tuning guitar" discussion. This was around the time Keith really started delving into that, and HTW and JJF were both written/played on the 5-string open tuning.

[@arjaylee]

As years went by, they added musicians to their stage shows to more closely replicate the original recordings. Even at that, you can hear a lot of these classics evolve over the years.

[@robertserafin-uc3qn]

The versions on Love you Live album are pretty fucking awesome too

[@gevowavemagnet]

Gibson Humbuckers and 100 watt Ampegs!

[@nelsonmoody4686]

I saw the Stones in concert twice. They were able to get a lot closer to the studio version. As for energy on stage, you obviously never saw the Who

[@smartfreddy]

The stones live are fuuuunnn! 😂

[@rickc661]

Late here. Of course a couple weeks after this - Altamont Ca. show - the Hells angles was hired for ' security' with results , a guy was stabbed to death right in front of stage. I think it was actually the G.Dead that got the angles involved. maybe.

[@artsilva]

Yes, Keef is in the right ear and Mick Taylor in the left

[@arjaylee]

Saw them a week or so before this in Oakland.

[@roberspiere45]

Jajaja estan todos enamorados del inexpresivo mick taylor, ese tierno muchachito se bajo del barco, no merecia integrar la mejor banda de rock de todos los tiempos. Ronny si es un verdadero stone. Basta de poner a la este blandito en un lugar que no se merece

[@phonebone81]

That was a fu..ing great concert and also one of the best live (vinyl) albums ever. I own 7 albums from the record but the best sounding ones are the english Decca and the 3 record album (from 2009) with 5 unreleased tracks and B.B.King and Ike & Tina Turner as the openers. The red and the white lable records are a bit dull and not as transparent as these ones. Thanks for sharing and best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)

All those people leaning on the stage are suffering from tinnitus today.

[@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok]

Definitely in contention for the best pocket player in rock.

[@a-man8265]

the versions on the "Gimme Shelter" movie is even better than the ones on "Get Yer YaYas ". more raw and dark.

[@custardflan]

Your pictures feature Brian Jones. Mick Taylor is on this album. The golden years imho.

[@kaychristensen4394]

Be prepared to have your hair blown all the way back 😎

[@itsmedrooms6071]

It’s important to note that Mick Taylor was the guitar player replacing the late Brian Jones. The Stones later admitted he was the best musician they ever had. He was one hell of a guitarist and it’s easily my favorite Stones era, although their peak psychedelic era was with Jones I believe with most of that being great as well. They wanted to be the Beatles quite badly and the Beatles wanted to be more like the Stones. Kind of funny how it worked out.

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Tina Turner taught Mick his moves

[@paulz6491]

Great video! Please try not to interrupt the woman so much (sorry I don’t know her name) I wanted to hear what she had to say buy you cut her off a couple of times (or we lost it in the edit). Thanks again 😊

[@artsilva]

Check out the time Keith Richards uses his Telecaster (guitar) as a club when a fan tries to rush Mick. The clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3vCgWSsm7-MpZY Keith explaining what happened: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sITEo5Zqp7plhNU

[@fifidurand7421]

for me best version ..with one on a bootleg with slash on the guitar...

[@steelers6titles]

The band had the brilliant idea of staging a free concert at the end of the year, which took place at Altamont Raceway Park in Northern California. They went along with skimping on security by allowing Hell's Angels thugs to maintain order, which is like hiring Bernie Madoff to be your investment counselor. The results were tragic, and are captured on film.

[@adambaldridge2348]

Concert was already being hatched by the Dead and other Bay hippies. Stones were asked to headline. Not their idea, but they did go along with bad idea,lol

[@steelers6titles]

@@adambaldridge2348 Whose idea was the “free” “security”?

[@steelers6titles]

Brian Jones, kicked out of the band, died that summer. Mick Taylor joined up; he may have been the best guitarist the Stones ever had.

[@steelers6titles]

The Sixties were over.

[@paulauvray1962]

Mick Taylor was by far the best guitar for the Stone 🤔much better than Keith 🤩
