WHOA!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Rolling Stones - Sweet Virginia REACTION

[@grindhouseglitch]

This whole album is one of the best Rock records of all times.

[@rayezzo8889]

Did you have this album when it came out?

[@stevewalsh4850]

Classic Stones, best album they ever made

[@d2d2d28]

Amen to that!

[@brianherrington7226]

My favorite Stones album. May 1972. I was 16.

[@cameronpickard7456]

no question total masterpiece

[@tonygreene3941]

I love when they get a little country. Dead Flowers is a must.

[@KenRoerden]

Absolutely. Far Away Eyes too.

[@cameronpickard7456]

classic stones

[@michaeldowson6988]

The original acoustic version of Honky Tonk Women, called Country Honk on the Let It Bleed album.

[@johnhegarty1761]

I second that I have been suggesting Dead Flowers fora while now.

[@maryellenazack4466]

100% 🌹

[@michaelj3414]

One of the best things to happen to Rock was when those UK boys of the 50's and 60's got into old Black American Blues artists and allowed it to influence their writings. Then they brought the Blues back to America and all of a sudden those old Blues players were relevant again.

[@marcopeluso9614]

man you described it perfectly

[@RedBud315]

Absolutely the British invasion saved American Music just as you described.

[@BettyLee-ch5bj]

Dead Flowers, Under My Thumb, and let it Bleed

[@andymageen5308]

A fabulous example of a British group, who grew up on American blues, turning around and producing an absolute epic piece of Americana right back. This could be The Band. Those Stones could really roll. ✌️

[@vrvaughn]

From Beggars Banquet in 1968 through Exile On Main Street, the Stones made four of the best rock and roll albums ever made. Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile ….

[@cameronpickard7456]

yes indeed their height apex perhaps best music in rock history

[@lourenzi8820]

I agree. To put their greatness in perspective, they follow some of their biggest and most successful period of the 60s, which turned the band into a household name.

[@AndyKusanagi86]

true. but i really like Goats Head Soup too, so i extend it to that one.

[@mplslawnguy3389]

I used to have an original Sticky Fingers album with the actual zipper on the cover. Have no clue where it ended up.

[@emersononeill]

Five. Ya Yas.

[@michaelallen9724]

The late great Bobby Keys on sax.

[@jeneanmcbrearty4747]

Moonlight Mile....one of the most beautiful pieces of music the Stones ever made.

[@mrmrclark]

Agree with you 💯!

[@randyallaben9900]

The magnificent 4! -Beggar’s Banquet 1968 -Let It Bleed 1969 -Sticky Fingers 1971 -Exile On Main Street 1972 You must , whether a reaction, or on your own, listen to these albums before you die!!

[@utekrause8334]

me, thinking the same, got them all

[@ugaais]

Arguably the best four album run in music history

[@alanstevenson4968]

Its only rock n roll...............over exile...........????

[@peakayharris8707]

What you said, Pall. What you said. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@cynthiashannon2465]

You two are an amazing breath of fresh air. Favorite Stones song and album ever. Been listening to this since 1972. Thank you

[@guichogf5636]

One of their most overlooked songs is Winter. It is brilliant, written by Mick Jagger and Mick Taylor. Taylor does an amazing job on this song and the words are so beautiful. It's one of my favorite Stones songs, very mellow and heartfelt.

[@smd2169]

My favorite Stones guitar solo. Mick Taylor shines on Winter. Great song!

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Practically criminal Taylor does not have a credit on “Winter.” But then again, the same could be said about “Sway” and “Time Waits for No One.”

[@ls1959]

I'd add Time Waits for No One and Moonlight Mile. Winter has always been a favorite of mine as well.

[@jamesscully529]

Jay and Amber, before you ask, that is the late great Bobby Keys on sax, a long time stallward of The Stones and Keith's Expensive Winos band. He is on dozens and dozens of Stone songs.

[@bradmcnulty8264]

Bobby Keys one of the greatest sax players ever, played on The Wanderer by Dion, Return to Sender by Elvis, The Letter by Joe Cocker and countless Rolling Stones songs.Plus many.many other famous artists.

[@tombombara]

@@bradmcnulty8264 that's Buddy Lucas on the Wanderer and Boots Randolph on Return to Sender. Bobby was a bit young to be on either of those sides. No knock on Bobby who was one of the best R&R horn players.

[@mt0115]

No doubt about it, the Stones have engineered their way through Rock and Roll and leave a lasting mark and legacy. Their songs and performances and personalities of the band have created great music and shows and loyal fans over many decades. Great stuff, 😎🍺☮️

[@RedBud315]

I've love every era of the Rolling Stones as they adapted to music changes the best of any other rock band that I can think of at the moment. I can't say that about Aerosmith as they sort of lost me after their 70's era. And a lot of other rock bands although being great seem to rest on their classics and don't put out much new stuff. Sort of like Ricky Nelson and the Garden Party situation where he wanted to put out new stuff during an all star tour.

[@galvinklatt5273]

Favorite Stones album (Exile on Main Street) by a country mile. It’s different than all their other albums. Lots of horns, lots of gospel singers, lots hole-in-the-wall bangers and bops. It has something for both of you and it is filled with soul and rnb!

[@michaelopm1]

Lucky me & friends, only saw the stones 3x's..lol class of 1968 stay grovin'

[@manuelrobledo8072]

This song always takes me to Keith's living room with everybody singing, playing and drinking. RIP Bobby and Charlie

[@waltw4537]

Love it. Be care scraping off yer shoes! Great album. One of their best. Whiskey- soaked! Bobby Keys on sax. RIP. Keys says this was one of the best stages of his life: he was 20 something, living with the band in Southern France- use your imagination! Glad you dug it. Thanks. Great reaction.

[@erasta7011]

Everyone has their favorite Stones song. Mine is Moonlight Mile.

[@andrewkline5611]

That’s fair, but this ain’t too far off.

[@sambirch6784]

Exile On Main Street is as important an album to The Rolling Stones as Sgt Pepper is to The Beatles. You should listen to the whole album just for your own musical education, you won't regret it. My personal favourite from the album is Torn And Frayed but I reckon Amber would really like Let It Loose.

[@spursgog835]

You should listen to Can’t you hear me knocking. The sax is sublime!

[@gernblanston5697]

I saw the Stones from the front row in Hampton, Virginia in 1981 when I was sixteen. The crowd went wild singing along with Sweet Virginia. The Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World!!!

[@stevetreloar3129]

Whole album Exile On Main St is classic gold! The story about how it came to be is wild!!!

[@tylerhackner9731]

Exile on Main Street is one of my favorite albums of all time

[@ktrsBklyn]

One of THE. BEST. ALBUMS.

[@fidge54]

Mick is an underrated harp player, the few notes he plays add so much

[@hoopsmccann9228]

If you want to hear Keith Richards sing, do “Happy”. You’ll like it. 😊

[@tonygreene3941]

And Before They Make Me Run

[@brianmiller6055]

And You Got The Silver

[@KlippityKlop1]

Me too! Check out Keith!

[@KlippityKlop1]

The “live” version is good too! There is a video of it.

[@cfp3047]

Listen to @briamiller6055 … he is obviously very wise with impeccable taste in music.

[@stevewalsh4850]

Sweet Virginia, shine a light etc etc off this album are soul food

[@Kaddywompous]

What a nice surprise. Might be my favorite Stones song.

[@andyzehr9839]

Top album here! So many good tunes. The songs just before and after this one, “Tumbling Dice” and “Torn and Frayed” are personal favorites, along with “Ventilator Blues” and “Shine a Light” are great too. But you really need to listen to the whole album, multiple times, for the full experience. Also, Keef’s retelling of the recording of this album in his book, “Life” is so fun!

[@robertsaul234]

I could hear them playing this song during their soundcheck before a show at Angels stadium in Anaheim. They played for an hour while we waited outside in line. The soundcheck consisted of blues and deep tracks. It was a great show and a great memory.

[@jamiemcpherson5068]

The greatest album ever! Recorded in Keith's basement in the South of France. Mick is blowing the harp. Not a mandolin, but acoustic guitar. Keith plays both guitar parts as well as bass. Can't remember who does drums on this track, but it wasn't Charlie. Bobby Keys plays sax. One of my favourites!!!

[@arizrich]

Well, Amber was listening, your chuckle made me smile, I was waiting! Peace!

[@jeffallard3221]

You guys should give Moonlight Mile and Memory Motel a listen. They're two of the Stone's best tunes and they're two that definitely "hit you in the heart."

[@Joshualuv13]

Earlier rolling stones, so good.Highly recommend,Moonlight mile..another beautiful classic .

[@robrossi1164]

The 68-72 era is apex Stones. I’d recommend “Let It Loose,” which is Jagger’s greatest vocal, or “Sway,” one of his rawest, and “Monkey Man.”

[@Rasmuth]

Sway is an absolute killer track. Mick Jagger and Mick Taylor really outdid themselves on that one.

[@PabloGarciaHernandez-nj7ju]

i STILL listen to this album all the way through it’s that good

[@kallalexandre9697]

This song starts off sad and ends happy. Fantastic song

[@brianherrington7226]

Bobby Bobby Bobby Bobby The Legendary Late Great Bobby Keys on sax.

[@dilandilanjoao4310]

Hi there. Just want to tell you that this song is played by Bill Wyman on bass(original co-founder ) Mick Taylor on lead guitar replacing Brian Jones (original co-founder) who died tragically in his swiming pool . Years later entered Ronnie wood for the place of Mick Taylor , and Ronnie wood stayed until today. Hope I could help with a bit of history 😊😊😊

[@howardhales6325]

Actually it was Ian Stewart who co-founded the band with Brian. Dick Taylor (Pretty Things) was their original bass player but left the group to finish school. Ian brought in Bill to replace him and Charlie was the last to join shortly after that. Ian was later asked to leave the group because he didn't have the right look for the group and he became their road manager and continued to play keyboards in concerts.

[@marksiracusa8999]

Amber , your reactions are priceless!! Next stop. Tumblin’ Dice. Xxoo

[@johnboydTx]

Far away eyes 👀 Another great Stones 💋song ✌️🤠🍻

[@Jude_196]

LOVE IT - from Mesquite...but: pretty much EVERY STONES SONG: I LOVE!! But: that's a GOOD ONE!

[@johnlillis1161]

you guy's want some country Rolling Stones give Far Away Eyes a listen you will Love it thanks

[@johnrosemeyer]

Mick Taylor, Bobby Keys. And yes, you should listen to "Dead Flowers."

[@crifecrowley]

Soooooo excited for this whole album!

[@Jacob_Junge]

Shine A Light from the same album is another great song I hope you'll get around to give a listen.

[@wolfie854]

Exile on Main Street - such a brilliant double LP this track is taken from. Hard to believe it was made 50 years ago. Thank you for reviewing this. I have to play the whole double LP again now.

[@danielb2993]

Thanks for this one. Really! Every song on this album is great. Love to see your reaction to "Soul Survivor" or "Let It Loose".

[@jbellinger99]

GREAT song. THANK YOU! These are the kind of harmonies that The Band touched, that magic. Try "loving Cup" next. This album is their masterwork.

[@ls1959]

Loving Cup, another favorite of mine from this album. Charlie's drums really stand out on that one.

[@MaggieValera]

This is one of my favorites it always reminds me of a little blues club I worked at back in the day.

[@scottmoore1614]

You need to see them in concert. They’re getting ready to launch another North American tour. My sister is going to see them in Philly in June. She’s seen them about six times! I’ve seen them twice in Charlotte, NC. The first time I saw them was 1998. The second time was 2021 (delayed a year because of Covid). It was only a month after long time drummer Charlie Watts passed away. Both were incredible shows, but I think the second time was better, even though they were 20 years older! Just one legendary song after another. I know they were doing it for Charlie.

[@billiam8554]

Exile On Main Street is my favorite Stones album...considered their best of all! The Stones rolled put 4 classic albums in a row from 1968 thru 1971 : Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and this one 👌

[@tonydelapa1911]

I have seen The Stones do this live many times. The performance and acoustic break are always great. Exhile on Main Street has so many great songs. Timeless.

[@DR_DOOM_3298]

The Stones are one of the most diverse bands out there, rock, blues, gospel, psychedelia, country, reggae, disco, they do it all.

[@Mr62Lincoln]

My favorite "hidden gem" Rolling Stones song. Thank you for reacting to this one.

[@garyrosenberg3369]

Their Mick Taylor years were the best.

[@RhettAnderson]

My favorite Stones album. Glad to see this song come up!

[@april6058]

One of my favorite Rolling Stones songs from my one of my favorite albums!

[@johnsilva9139]

Not one of their hits, but The Stones are always worth reacting to. Nice job. Request: Mary Weiss, lead singer for The Shangri-las, passed away this week. I know you have reacted to their biggest hit "Leader of the Pack". It might be time to do another of their hits from 1964 "Remember ( "Walking in the Sand )" with a very young Billy Joel on piano. Watch a live performance of this and see how they influenced Amy Winehouse both visually and musically. Another big hit was "Give Him a Great Big Kiss".

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Oh my may she rest in peace

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey a and J great song off of a great album the song you guys are trying to remember is waiting on a friend off of tattoo You another great one enjoy and have fun!

[@susannebeer-eyk7054]

Great song from their really early blues period. Long time since I have heard this thanks.

[@harryjules369]

I grew up with Stones...they are awesome.

[@TheBurr75]

Never heard this before...what a vibe

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Shattered"!!!

[@wendys5421]

My favorite Stones song!😊

[@verrilli]

and "Respectable"!

[@benshafer5198]

Yes; a must!

[@rbb9753]

Shedooby

[@denroy3]

Not a good period.

[@kerryknight228]

This is their best album in my opinion. I still listen to it a lot. ✌️

[@djl9919]

this whole album is tops. I like "Loving Cup" Rock on Rob Squad

[@michaelb3945]

Great song from a two-record album that is great from beginning to end. It had a country feel and then Bobby Keys plays that fantastic blues sax solo without the song ever losing its country feel. Only the Stones can pull that off. Have you thought about seeing them when they tour the US this summer?

[@frankmargiotta131]

Very big on speed, acid and heroin back in the day especially the words from this song.

[@marciequinn5323]

I have suggested it before, but I think you would enjoy their song... Harlem shuffle.

[@RobertL.JonesJr-hz8vl]

My favorite Stones song is Paint It Black from the 60s era. ❤

[@kevinice2841]

It doesn’t get much better than this, but check out “Sway,” “I Got the Blues,” “Moonlight Mile,” and “Tumbling Dice.”

[@db4982]

Exile On Mainstreet is one of their best albums, in my opinion (along with Let It Bleed). I can't think of a song on it that I don't like. Especially like Sweet Virginia and Let It Loose. Hope you get to that one sometime!

[@goosebump801]

Yes! My four favorite Stones albums (in no particular order: I can’t choose!) are: - Exile on Main Street - Beggars Banquet - Sticky Fingers - Let It Bleed I enjoy every single song on each of these albums, and agree that they’d be right up @Rob Squad Reactions’ alley 👍❤️💐

[@milesoffshoresportfishing746]

One of my favorite Stone songs ever, especially since im from the 757! Got to scrape that sheet right off your shoes

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

This is a feel good song on a feel good album. The Stones at their most sunny. Thanks, guys.

[@paulnickson8734]

'Exile on Main Street' ... Great from start to finish.

[@terrygarcia897]

Saw them with zz top Dallas cotton bowl 1981.

[@Rasmuth]

I love this song! The whole album is just legendary.

[@frankcanin5534]

Another fun one that leans towards country is Far Away Eyes. Lots of humor and great musicianship.

[@davescurry69]

That song is taken my personal favourite album of all time, by any artist: Exile On Main St. Amber grooving along to this was beautiful to watch.

[@albertalberico467]

English bands covered all the genres of American Style in music the Rolling Stones did it very well even the Beatles some of their songs have a country sound❤

[@marksiracusa8999]

This masterpiece is chuck full of drug references. “ come on down” refers to bringing down your drug trip. This was done by taking other drugs ie; downers etc.

[@michaelcondry1493]

one of my favorite songs ever

[@poptart4260]

How much fun is that !!!!

[@67Pepper]

This song oozes the Blues. Exile on Main street is my favourite Stones album, not a sonic masterpiece but the Blues reign throughout this album. You should also check out "Sweet Black Angel" off this album.

[@matthewashman1406]

oozes country blues

[@brianherrington7226]

Some kind of Ventilator.

[@billalbritton4972]

Yeah.

[@paulprendergast3184]

Got scrape that shit right off my shoes.....Great song from a fantastic album!!

[@nettiemac]

When this came on at the end of Knives Out (the first movie) it made me stay through the credits just for the song. This and Dead Flowers are two favorites from this time frame but there are SO MANY from this era. Mick Taylor era Stones is primo!

[@sanzoftatooine]

Check out "Loving Cup" from the same album. Also "Dead Floweres" for more of that country vibe.

[@anthonyblakely399]

One of best Rock n Roll bands in music history.

[@cameronpickard7456]

the beast by fat

[@jollyrodgers7272]

From another album, Beggar's Banquet, they played a number of Appalachian, Country and Delta Blues influenced songs, like NO EXPECTATIONS, DEAR DOCTOR, FACTORY GIRL, PRODIGAL SON ... Sample those!

[@marcusbeau]

their best ever, ty ty

[@chuckjohnson8717]

This is a special song. Thank you. By the way rob squad is very positive place on you tube.

[@russwalker3119]

they can really put on some Blues... so good

[@peakayharris8707]

On the late freight watching this review. This song ive always described as one those "Sitting on the back yard porch on a Friday/Saturday night DRANKIN' songs" 😅😂

[@randyallbee1173]

Played this tune so many times over the years, a hit from the soundtrack of my life…made me think, for some reason, of a Johnny Cash song off his first American Recordings session-a song written by the surreal Loudon Wainwright the third, ‘the man who wouldn’t cry’…I can’t explain the soundtrack, it just plays on…

[@andrewcole3736]

The album that they put out a few months ago is called Hackney Diamonds and it’s excellent. Please do a reaction on the single Angry. 🕊❤️🎼

[@matthewmacalister52]

I was amazed by it. They blew my expectations out of the water. Need a Sweet Sounds of Heaven reaction too

[@ringo365]

Such great instrumentals,in this song 🎉❤

[@sandrygarcia991]

Thank you for reacting to this song!!! You might also enjoy listening to Let it Loose, Shine a Light, Loving Cup, No Use in Crying, Love in Vain, and Fool to Cry, to name a few!

[@peterstilla8733]

If you two liked this, you'll be totally blown away by another track on Exile, and that's Let It Loose. It's powerful and very emotional. I'm afraid poor Amber will melt, but you have to hear it.

[@richardkint6531]

Interesting! Jay/Amber, you want to listen to Mick doing country, react to "Far Away Eyes". Thanks. 😎

[@snatchhog]

Songs by the stones nobody has heard are some of their best😊

[@terrycunningham8118]

For more rootsy Americana from the Stones, try "Prodigal Son", "Dear Doctor", "No Expectations", from Beggars Banquet, "Country Honk" of Let It Bleed, or "You Gotta Move" off Sticky fingers

[@futuregenerationz]

Great song off a great album chock full of gems.

[@AXXXDEAN]

When that sax comes in. .it sounds like you could be walking past the clubs on the city street and hear that coming from one downstairs and you just have to go in and check it out
