The Making of the Rolling Stones Let It Bleed: Documentary Part 1 of 3

[@charleshuguley9903]

"Let it Bleed" is my favorite Stones album and the Stones are my favorite band.. Thanks for you fine documentary!

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks for the comments CH...appreciated you commenting. We know how great this album is and flawless....yw and glad you enjoyed this...check out the other docs if you have not.

[@nancileejones1297]

Thank you so much for all of your hard work in compiling this documentary! I am 64 years old and loving every minute of this! Sadly, I was raised in a religious home where rock was considered the devils work, so I am a late bloomer in exploring the music of the Stones! I LOVE it and spend hours every evening finding all of their old videos and concert footage. Finding you and your documentaries is the icing on the cake for me. I will be watching them all! I will send you a donation as soon as I can as this is well worth it! Thank you again!

[@FlipSideCT]

HI Nancilee, a real pleasure to see your comments. Interesting to hear ofyour younger restrictions experience. I am so glad you can find these giving you more insight. As I mention it is from a fan for the fan. I take great pride in making these and also glad when a fan can click with me on what I am delivering. Enjoy the rest, and thank you for your support. When you get to The Making of Exile, Part 2 is available for the donators only for now. So if you choose to donate, please make sure you supply me your KZbin email address so I add it to my PRIVATE viewing list. enjoy all!!! thanks!!!!

[@grimmertwin2148]

Watching these Steve docs in no particular chronological order and as an antidote to other 'challenges' always fires my imagination and recall. Firstly thanks for the Taj Mahal/Keith 'open tuning' explanation. We all know the Ry Cooder saga ( he stole - she stole) but that was another nugget of info. Like the Jack Nietzsche/Phil Spector connection. I always read Nietzsche's name in the album credits and wondered what he did apart from play keyboards. Another gem now understanding the arranger as a guide. And what a guide. Now for my tangents lol. Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron and Shelley are considered the finest poets of all time. They were all chronic laudanum purveyors ( users ). Their minds expanded transformed into achingly beautiful writing ( apparently). Make of that what you will. The war on drugs and youth counter culture was a direct result of anti war sentiment brewing among the youth of the day. Traditionalists and moralists were going to stamp that out pronto. ( 4 dead in Ohio among other brutal victimisation like Altamount). Look at all the musicians with FBI and 'criminal' records. Apart from Elvis who actually offered to be a narc for Nixon. Fact check me. Buddy Holly would never have done that lol. Ok last thing. Hypothetically if the world could safely micro dose would it be a better place? And thanks Steve for reminding people Brian was a great swimmer. I don't divide the Stones into 3 'eras'. I'm happy to have the lot as a whole. Peace from Oz monkeys ( or is that chimpanzees now) Whatever. Just stay the fark away from Elon Musk 😮 6:44

[@FlipSideCT]

Brian was the Elmore James fan and knew about the slide and open tunings, I am sure sitting in their apt they shared a few tunings. Taj/Ry helped enhance it. thanks for sharing. A crazy decade, so much chaos and changes and war. This one compares some, but not musically. There is a true dividing line with the 3 guitarist changes, but yes, we should just lump in as one. I do not think of Some Girls as a new Era, just a change in sound. cheers

[@thebluesandothercolors6602]

This 3-part documentary series represents an outstanding work of musical scholarship that should rank among the best and most informative documentaries on the Stones ever produced. It chronicles the creation of their 1969 album, Let It Bleed, exploring its uniqueness in the Stones' catalog, along with the vibrancy and artistry of the band at a transformative moment in their musical evolution, and as a cultural force and phenomenon. To my knowledge, no one has ever delved as deeply into the band's (or any band's) musical mojo-examining the group's inner-workings, song genesis, thematic, musical, and lyrical structure, music equipment and alternate guitar tunings used, recording technology and technique, musical influences and more, all the while honoring the many players and outright characters who contributed to the creation of this master work of recorded music. You've never seen a music documentary like this before. It is a fascinating stand-out work.

[@FlipSideCT]

Thought I replied already.......but see I did not. Thank you TBAOC!! so well appreciated, your comments! Very cool you get my point, the delivery and sync with it all! This how I want to see a doc and representing something that I do NOT KNOW! Hopefully you checked out some prior others. best, steve

[@thebluesandothercolors6602]

@@FlipSideCT Steve, new subscriber here and am making the rounds to your other videos. Real quick or maybe not, a cool experience to share this week was taking your suggestion in this series to revisit Ya-Ya's. (That you started the LIB series with Ya-Ya footage of Charlie and isolated drum tracks for Gimme Shelter told me I was in for something special.) Never disliked Ya'Ya's, but was always kinda perplexed by the mix- it's so fucking stark-especially next to the lushness of Let It Bleed and less the horn parts of later tours. Glyn Johns is the fucking man, don't get me wrong, but dare I say, I took this mix up Several notches by doubling, nearly tripling Wyman's presence. It's so heavy. It's so fat, so funky (especially on Sympathy, LWM, and the Chuck tunes) and because Bill is a real bass player and works in his register, there's no clash with any of the other players or the singer. It almost fills in like an organ part. Wyman is the fucking glue, mang, or at least a MUCH bigger part of the glue than the man has ever got his due for. Hey, drink a few beers, smoke a few joints-I highly recommend this experience. -The Best back at ya and everyone, Rob

[@FlipSideCT]

He’s states that, even now, he only ever plays Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, Sticky Fingers and Exile. ✌️

Thanks a lot. I was a adolescent, a young teenager in the 1960's and could not quite understand what was going on and who was who. You exposés about other artists are quite instructive to me. It straightens out confusions i my mind that had been lurking there for ages. It took until 1972 until I had grown up enough to understand that something had happened in the decade before but the context and impact was not as clearcut as it is today. You won't believe it, but until 20 years ago, I had not known what had happened at Altamont concert in 1969 and its impact. Except for Sargeant Pepper I detested the Beatles, and still do, and I revered Bob Dylan and The Stones. That did not go down well in my environment.

[@FlipSideCT]

Hi QDG, thanks for your comments and sharing. I also had plenty of confusion on the Stones timeline. Doing this helped me for sure also. Very hard for casual fans to understand what they went thru and why they are the best. There is still very deep perspectives and stories of Altamont. I could have done much more...... cheers steve

[@Notmehimorthem]

Camped down the night before, near the stage, at Hyde Park. Woke up in the morning surrounded by people. Everywhere you could see people. Up the trees, in the Serpentine. Part of breakfast was a tiny pill associated with Lucy ;) . The opening band was The Third Ear Band. Very avante garde. Ragas played on oboes and Cellos. They really could awaken ears. Stones came in by armoured car. Jagger in the white dress. The Shelley, the white butterflies in cardboard boxes. Then....they called them "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world". I was not a particular fan before, liked their records, no more. My mind was changed. What masterpieces of creativity. For me, Midnight Rambler. When in the middle of the song, the tempo is masterfully and gradually slowed down. Jagger sitting on the stage: Jagger taking his belt off and playfully "whipping" his audiences reaching hands. Then again, the belt and the rhythm accelerates, the tempo regained and the big outro. I still think this is the Stones "Day in a life".

[@FlipSideCT]

what a great notch on the belt you have. A memory of a lifetime. thanks for sharing that. I forgot what band's that armored car was, but it was borrowed. Every beat and note on this album is flawless.

Thing being, Brian’s potential to experience seizures has never been an open topic. Naturally, it’s drugs and drink of course. But hey’ how about Brian having a seizure a a nobody around to help - or know what to do.

The last time that just the five Stones played without any added musicians or overblown stage shows. The band was, as they should have been, was the show. It's not about lights and explosions. It's about the music.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@obbor4 correct....I just loved the basics. 72' was a peak from them, but with the added members. The raw RnR and that they became a guitar band in 69' is the beauty of it. nice point! cheers steve

Seriously, this doc was incredible. Upon discovering, I watched all 3 consecutively, and I advise fans to do the same. The narration is superb! And the background tracks are amazing rarities and outtakes. Most Stones specials or interviews cover the SAME topics over, and over, and over, again-- such as their competition with The Beatles, the story of how M & K met at the Dartford station, how "Satisfaction" was written, details of the various drug busts, etc etc etc etc. These are all great stories, but imho they've been beaten to death. Instead this documentary is amazing at telling the interesting aspects of this Stones era. Details that REAL fans want to know, such as recording/production details, close musical influencers, and interactions (and MUCH more). And things that had a real impact on their music. I really love the fact that a variety of songs are covered- not just the "hits". Anyway, too much to name and enough of me. These 3 parts are better than most of the mainstream Stones specials out there. Blown away!!!

[@FlipSideCT]

Whoa Adam, cool response!! You know it and get it! TY TY. I got so friggin tired of the BS out there. Tell me something I do not know, PLEASE! So you hit it square on the head.....and that some folks need hand holding on how to listen to it and appreciate the nuances of the band.

[@letitbleedadam]

@@FlipSideCT thanks so much! I couldn't agree more. Thankfully some of the books out there go into some more detail. I've come to see the situation you comment on, as such: The Stones are kind of 2 bands in one (or more specifically--have become 2 bands, as of late). The first is the band most of the luke-warm fans know and like. This version of the band is the one the mass produced documentary material focuses on. In my opinon, this is also the band that currently tours and plays live. Don't get me wrong, it's incredible they still play live--and do some awesome versions. But they seem to abide by a formula when it comes to set list (maximizing the songs with the most interest). It's business, and makes sense. The second version of the band is the one that is passionate towards their influences, loves creating good material, and writes the songs that hardcore fans love. IE, the songs one wouldn't usually hear live. They would prb be happy playing in clubs. This second Stones iteration is the one that you cover in this documentary. I'm being wordy, but it's really the best way I can explain it all. Thanks! I will def check more of your channel out!

[@artful_dodger59]

Ive recently found your page, and watching all the videos in random order as time allows. I could comment on all of them, but I will mercifully spare you and just leave a generic one here. Ive followed the Stones since the 60's, a voracious consumer of anything Stones related. In a pre-internet world, information was not as forthcoming as it is now. When speaking of the Stones, one needs to mention the times to give the watcher a feel for what was going on in that era. Younger people may find it boring, but it is necessary to put the content into context. I have found no way to verbally express the 'feel' of the 60's. One had to live it to fully understand it. In the USA, the Vietnam war raged in the background, Nixon, the riots, the assassinations, it was a tumultuous time ... Conversely, it was a renaissance of creativity and freedom of spirit. The air was electric! It's as if a cosmic vortex opened up and mixed all of these things together and magically disseminated it into the oxygen we breathed. As horrible as the world affairs were, there was a universal reawakening of souls as young people disavowed the uptight conservatism 50s and sought ways to radically distance themselves from any entity that might try to keep them there. Batman partaking of "Aftergrass" and the random old lady in Woolworth's who admonished the adolescent me to "put that back, they are ANIMALS!" as I gazed upon the newly released, and strangely octagonal shaped, Through the Past, Darkly, were typical. Beggars Banquet, Let it Bleed, and Sticky Fingers, leading up to Exile on Main Street are absolutely, other-worldly time capsules that perfectly reflect the times they were created in. Like a computer program might be today, they were a compact and concise compilation of all the zeitgeist of that era. An aural Cliff Notes version of everything that was going on. The good, bad and ugly. When I listen to them, I am taken back. They are the closest thing to the Wayback Machine there could ever be. Virtual reality before it was. You need to listen to them in order to understand what Exile was. The denouement of that turbulent era. Whatever glowing embers of the 60s that still remained were extinguished. The party is over. This is it ... Goats Head was the candle being blown out and the lights shut off. That quiet cup of coffee on the Sunday morning after the wildest and most eventful vacation of your entire life. A quite moment before going back to the mundane and prole toilage of Monday morning. You do a great job of instilling that feeling in me, anyway ... I hope younger readers may appreciate what you are doing.

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you LWM for your generous contribution to The Stones and the times. well said. It is a challenge to be able to inject the exact feelings that The Stones had on their plate throughout the years during their recordings. I did feel I delivered the best I can to help bring that to back to life and it seems as though many viewers felt the same. My channel is dedicated to the "the turn on" and getting folks exposed to an area other then mainstream. There are many that take the ride with me, but I would really hope there were much more. I do see just a handful of young ones at record stores and shows, but not enough to carry any torch, which is, as you pointed out a "hope" the word can spread, and not just with my channel. thanks for your input! cheers

@@FlipSideCT I agree. I’m afraid (and I understand only too well) that those late 60’s/70’s drugs were powerful. I’ve learnt that Brian used barbiturates a lot latterly. These can simply put one out of the game, and one misusing barbs makes the user literally good for nothing- let alone write music. They were plentiful and actually, Tuinal etc. weren’t even illegal until early 80’s. This perhaps along with growing resentment may have well mucked Brian’s head up. Micks also quoted as saying Brian was taking the wrong type of drugs. Incidentally, it’s interesting to note that not much is said about his physical health and regular seizures. Just a thought. I agree with you that the stones seemed to flourish following Brian leaving - and especially with Mick Taylor’s input. It’s all a matter of individual tastes and a point of view though.

You are a true fan(atic) like many of us but I can say without jealousy that I learned things in both series. The details, and especially the photos/film you found are not run of the mill, overused mainstream material but hidden and unseen gems even for those of us who aren’t your typical fans (and are sick of hearing the old warhorse at concerts). I commend you for your deep dives. You offered fans a master class. The quality of your work felt like it could be taught at the university level and you would be a PhD. You are an archivist and during the last part of the Goat’s Head Soup series, I sat mesmerized by the books on the shelves behind you. We have many of the same titles! You speak to me like the Stones’ music does. As an aside: I hope you have been able to download the 3 CD collection (in jpg format) from about a month ago of unreleased studio outtakes, mainly from the 70s and 80s.

But with texting, I'm far more responsive and timely...we all have our quirks haha I've looked at more of your channel and I see a few more uploads that interest me. The two on It's Only Rock and Rock, which I consider part of their Big 6 (most people say it's the Big 4: BB, LIB, SF, EoMS; or the Big 5 with GHS; but I think IORR also qualifies), and the Exhibitionism piece. I haven't seen that yet, but my sister was in Chicago for a conference when it was there so she brought back the hardcover book for me. The smaller version, UnZipped, is to make it to just outside the Toronto, which is my hometown although I have moved about 1.5 hrs away from there, in Dec for a few months, so I have booked my ticket (here's hoping the pandemic is more under control). Fortunately I did see the 50th anniversary exhibit that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame had in Nov 2013; I checked the Browns schedule first to find when they were out of town even though I went on a Friday. I have to agree with one of the comments made by another viewer of your LIB series. It's shocking how much you sound like Ray Romano. Holy shit! haha Even though you have CT in your KZbin moniker I would think you are a New Yorker originally. I hope you have the "Can't Give It Away on Seventh Avenue" book by Christopher McKittrick; I read it a couple of months ago and enjoyed it. They are so iconic for the city. I loved the photos of them around MSG and I know I only saw a portion of them. With your knowledge I might suggest you do podcasts. You obviously have technological abilities as well so this might not be a stretch. Although I have only heard 6 of your uploads, you remind me of a Cdn music industry podcaster by Alan Cross. He is highly respected by the industry, music insiders, musicians etc and has a weekly podcast that I occasionally listen to, "The Ongoing History of New Music". While his focus is currently on newer music, bands, he is our age and knows it all. Overall I think the Stones are so underrated. People including critics don't appreciate their brilliance and setting new trends. Look at how deep their lyrics were in the 60s. They were kids writing timeless songs. They push the boundaries for tours and what is expected with giant screens, lighting, B stages, etc. I am on the daily "Undercover" mailing and have been for likely 2 decades. But I heard about your LIB series on Keno's "It's a Gas Gas Gas" website which I think I have also been going to for over 2 decades. He was effusive in his recommendation of your series. Between the two, I recall organizing a trading ring for those of us who wanted the full set of those Satanic Majesties collector cards that came in the SACD releases by ABKCO in the early 2000s. That was quite a project. I'm glad you do have the recently released outtakes. They really blew me away with the writing quality. You can definitely tell the eras they were from. The band's sound changed so much with Ronnie, but each of the eras is defined by who was on guitar besides Keef. The song that stood out for me the most was on CD1, "Part of the Night". WOW, it almost didn't sound like them. You are far more invested in records than me. In some ways I am so glad they came back, for others to have the same thrill we did in searching through bins at record stores and the romanticism of being able to open them and see the artwork and lyrics. When CDs came along, there was some of that. I was pissed when digital overtook that and came with no packaging; I LOVED learning about where it was recorded, who did what, etc. You can't find that info anywhere anymore, and it sucks! But the ship has sailed for me with regard to records. I do understand how binary rounds notes up or down, and that quality is lost but I'm not able to tell the difference. And I like the space saving and immediacy that digital downloads offer so I won't be going back to buying vinyl. As a caveat though, when it comes to the Stones, they are the ony band I will buy CDs for as long as I can. I want something tactile in my hands for them. Tx again, Kathy

I had many thoughts run past me, Pod casts are great, but you have to be consistent with providing a show on a regular basis, I enjoy things at my pace. LIVE YT/ZOOM sessions with a few other like minded folks. I can not do Patreon, as I play copy written music. That Exhibitionism was truly fantastic, I had to go myself, but enjoyed it so much. One thing if you are a fan, check out Why Lou is Lou vid I made, or Brian Eno, or the Puank vid. To deliver these takes so much focus and dedication and that is the only way I work.....which means time is needed. It is exhausting overall, but a blast. Understand your vinyl vs CD.....CD has a true crispness, but nothing like the full bang. The analogy I give, it is like drinking a can of soda either from a can or a bottle. cheers steve

Another amazing video. Amazing. 💀🔥

[@FlipSideCT]

Glad you enjoyed! glad you are watching these!!

[@vinylandcassettegeek]

@ Lars Gsänger I totally agree with you right there. Let It Bleed is my favorite Rolling Stones album.

[@FlipSideCT]

so simple in sound and recording and not overproduced. a masterpiece and may not ever be duplicated.

[@encoreunefois1X]

So far, so excellent.

[@FlipSideCT]

Glad you think so!

[@aprilnelly]

* according to Keef, he credits Ry Cooder. Entirely. For teaching him open tunings.

[@FlipSideCT]

That day he did.....there were others. But Ry was a master.

[@aprilnelly]

@@FlipSideCT thank you. I like your style here on these. Well done

[@FlipSideCT]

@@aprilnelly Thank you April, appreciate it! Love doing these, as a fan I learn plenty also.

Your docos are amazing. Thank you .

[@FlipSideCT]

appreciated DG.....glad you enjoy these!!! thanks for letting me know.

[@paulbroderick4217]

How good is Midnight Rambler!!!Dark song but WoW. Love in vain has to be one of the best cover too.Rock on.

[@doitnowvideosyeah5841]

Did they ever fix the songwriting credits for Love in Vain. My vinyls had ' Woody Payne as having written Love in Vain

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks PB. Nothing comes close to LIB.....just to powerful. I do not believe so, about Woody Payne then again, I do not have a recent reissue.

This notion of "BEST album" doesn't work for the Stones, to many greats ones, I take it all and listen one or another period with the same pleasure.

[@FlipSideCT]

That works. Sure, There are songs that move you more on other albums. This album overall has an emotional movement and feeling for every second of a song in it. That is what is meant by best. Not an ounce of boredom.....excitement every second. I get it you have a different way to perceive and view this topic.

[@Methilde]

@@FlipSideCT The point is that I'm not crazy about all sorts of rankings, you know : the 10 best guitarists, the 100 best singers etc....

[@FlipSideCT]

@@Methilde I am with you 100% I look at it but do not take it with a grain of salt. 10 people, 10 lists, all will be different.

[@Methilde]

@@FlipSideCT Prefer suggar.

@@catholiccowboy8545 You don't make the difference beetwen originals studio albums and compilations, sorry for you.

[@TheRollingStoness]

Always i turn to ur video for all the stones facts without any fiction... Thanks Steve.👍

[@FlipSideCT]

Nice!! I would also! Love to research and get the points we do not really know about. YW RS!

[@bighill8272]

2:00 I am a massive Hendrix fan and have listened to everything available inside out, with that in mind I still await to hear this commentary by Jimi to Kramer regarding removing Brian from the session.

[@FlipSideCT]

I do a segment in my new Doc (out today), and mention Brian / Jimi / Eddie session. Eddie does have a video out talking about All Along The Watchtower session, which is fantastic...and sad.

[@TheMrBennito]

Nicky Hopkins was a major factor in Quicksilver Messenger Service, should be mentioned as well.

[@FlipSideCT]

ok. I will do that!

[@grenda5]

sir, what a brilliant video you made, i wish it woundn't end, all your details, i am so glad i found it

[@FlipSideCT]

cool LK, nice comments. I wished I could do more, but 3.5 hours was a lot. Some folks do not have the patience or attention span......but you did nice! cheers. check out the Goats Head Soup doc and Black and Blue is work in progress.

[@grenda5]

@@FlipSideCT thanks, i'll check it out, best from Canada

[@invisibleman1028]

Thanks for making this.I enjoy the discussion and the corrections.The Beatles get a lot of this,it's interesting to get more sides of the Stones centered around certain albums.In the end,the music is what makes the details worth hearing.

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank You IM......well appreciated comments. Yes, I see how many Beatles fans are out there, and had to make sure the STONES are not forgotten and get folks more info on their great RnR. cheers steve

[@swordfish52]

Hey Steve , That Was Great !! Can't wait for Part 2 ..... Jimmy ...

[@FlipSideCT]

Jimmy, thank you for letting me know this.....appreciate the input and that you enjoyed it.....yea...PT2 1-2 weeks.....working on it now.

[@timothygibbs8037]

I think open G tuning was Keith's go to with the low E string removed?

[@FlipSideCT]

yes it was! Most songs were played in that.

[@lanerider7265]

This documentary is actually very good. Well done meastro.

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you LR for sharing you comments. Plenty of work and thought.....enjoy!

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

I frickin LOVE THIS ALBUM! Beggar’s Banquet was really good, but rarely listen to it in its entirety! This album was different! It was a sad time too, they had to dump Brian! He was sadly useless on this album, and contributes barely anything! Keith really took the helm here and played nearly all the guitars, both rhythm and and lead! He created some of the best Stones songs here! Gimme Shelter, You Can’t Always Get What You Want, the title track, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man, (a personal favorite, although not a big hit, and don’t know if they ever played it in concerts)! Also Country Honk, an early version which escorted Mick Taylor in and redone as the classic Honkey Tonk Women! Released as a single before this album was released! This also marked the time when the Stones really differentiated them selves from the Beatles, (despite the similarity of the title with Let it Be)! As far as the music went, it sounded nothing like the Beatles! They truly defined their own identity with this album! Summing it all up, I was loving Keith’s job on the guitars. Not the best lead player, but he served up the goods here!!

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks for sharing. The album is flawless. Nothing will ever come close.
