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

[@rockyrovere2526]

Steve, gotta tell you mate, you have definitely encapsulated the period you did this fantastic piece of work on. Also little before and after. Having been a musician over 52 yrs, I was a student of every person mentioned all my life. It seems you’ve been complimented a great deal, so here’s one more. Anyone who doesn’t burn this,in the event that we lose it on Utube ,well is simply a fool. Back-breaking work, mate, Thank you. Peace, Rocky

[@FlipSideCT]

Hi Rocky, hearing the comments does help me want to move ahead with doing more. It makes it worthwhile if I know folks get it and appreciate the work......it was so effin time consuming. As you know, playing to a crowd of 4 or 100 is a big difference. I am glad you are a Stones head and got much out of it. I do have to save it myself, as I do not have back up. Thank you for your compliments and commenting.....hopefully you will check out the other docs etc I have. I will do my guitar previews, as I like to geek out with others on that, it is more about the interaction with new friends that makes it worth it. cheers steve

[@rudigertholen3814]

A very informative and interesting complete documentary (1-3). I am not a Rolling Stone fan but a Beatle fan. Lately, as I was scrolling on youtube, it interested me to listen to songs & watch concerts of the Rolling Stones. Found them great! I suddenly had a great crush on Keith Richards whom I see as good looking, sexy & cool especially during his younger years! Too bad Charlie Watts died. More on Keith Richards pls.

[@stevecarlsonvinylcommunity9147]

Steve, I’m going to call you the Ken Burns of the VC. Such an incredible finish to this. I appreciate you mentioning some of the books also. I can not fathom the time you put into this. You script writing for it was excellent, easy to understand but your passion rang through. I have saved all of your documentaries so I can watch them again, great historical documents. Well done my friend. Steve

[@FlipSideCT]

SMILE, SMILE and another smile ...TY!! I do love projects when I am at my leisure though! Thanks for noticing the script. That is the toughest challenge to piece that together and make sure it has continuity and flow, the timeline does help. I watch them time to time to remember a few things. As mentioned, I just want folks to know what a review of an album should be like. cheers all the best STEVE, got my first vaccine dose.

This is awesome! The details are truly interesting. I love that Marsha Hunt is brought to the forefront! We know so much about Exile sessions, which were the original mysterious sessions, but these sessions are just as mysterious, along with the horrible loss of Brian. Thank you!

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you Adam for commenting and letting me know. As I said, I appreciate it. Glad you get it all. Right, I will not do Exile or Sticky as there is too much out there. As I always say, tell me something I do not know. Had to get folks exposed more then just a 10-15 album review. cheers steve

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

What a great documentary. I watched all three episodes. I’ve always considered beggars banquet and let it bleed as being the stones’ rubber soul and revolver. Get your Yaya‘s out is a great live document of this tour - love it also. Wish they made a double album of that. My mom, dad, sister and I were at the Altamont concert… My sister had just turned four, I would turn six in a few days… We got there late, no music playing, finally the stones came on- but the music kept starting and stopping. We were too far away up the hill, we couldn’t tell what was causing this. My sister and I watched gimme shelter years later, we finally understood why. What a bummer end to the 60s, and the stones American tour… still love those albums though

[@FlipSideCT]

BC....you and me both.....I am searching for a special Ya Ya's with more on it. Damn....the family at Altamont...whoa! so cool to have your parents bring you....a bit risky, but that is an after thought now, then again the issues were more at the stage. hopefully you got pics. yea, the end of it still was a connection into another era of greatness!! Great RnR...appreciate you sharing your story and commenting...cool. thanks for it all also! steve

[@speedbrknek]

Wow, this series you have put together is blowing my mind! The inside details and back stories are incredible. Im amazed by these rare photos, documents, promotional materials etc etc you have amassed here! Add to that your personal insight, seemingly intimate knowledge and your narrative style and BANG, you have created the most informative and entertaining Rolling Stone documentary I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen them all. Sincere thanks. Now on to the next one.

[@FlipSideCT]

LOL....great comments! Thank you....well appreciated, and gratifying! It helps me move on. I believe 95% of the folks are clicking with me on it, which is great. A fan's doc for the fan. Tell me something I don't know, is how I put it out there. more coming...thanks !!

[@Paneeks1960]

That's all I can say is this three part Let It Bleed documentary was the best that I have ever seen. The never seen clips, the info, the background music and even the sibilance in your voice were all top notch. I think I mentioned to you before that the Mick Taylor period was the absolute best in my humble opinion. He was the guy who helped to take the band to a whole new level of live performances. Man you even knew what questions they were asked at the press conference. Rona Barrett? I have not heard that name in years. Man I always liked Bill Graham. But after hearing this story my opinion of him has waned a bit. On a side note. I met him in person before Live Aid in 1985. Actually it was just a handshake and three or four words. Absolutely incredible job here Steve. You really did your homework and some. I couldn't think of a better person to write the ultimate Stones novel. Thanks for sharing all three parts~ Rob/Boston

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you AS ALWAYS my friend! I needed to get this out there, after seeing so many 10-15 min reviews on their albums, I really wanted to have folks see it done from this perspective and correct. Yeah, I rewatched and listened to many interviews and details again to get this done correctly. I was shocked about Bill G also, and Sam would not have said this if it was not true....plus Charlie. There are some great books.....so no novel from me. Bill W has all the details and archives and wished he would share even more then he does. He has another new documentary out now QUIET ONE. It gets me sad as they get up there in age, and I preach that ARTISTS/BANDS should get praise before they pass on and not just after. Cheers steve

My favorite Stones album! Saw them at MSG November, 1969 then bought "Let It Bleed" in December. Needless to say the concert and the Stones made a big impression on me and I'm still playing guitar because of Keith and Mick Taylor. Thank you for this documentary, it's truly a labor of love.

[@FlipSideCT]

Glad you commented and are one of those fans that have that Elite notch on their belt with 69'. Keith and Mick shed their power to us......I too with the guitar. I just wished we had internet back in the 70's to learn the guitar licks better. In the 80's in New Jersey, I became friends with the a STONES cover band guitarist. He taught me the Open tunings, and that opened up my world. thanks for sharing, and love to share Stones with the "family"

[@mikeleyshon1799]

Excellent work, thoroughly enjoyed all three videos ! I'll be sure to check out more. Agree that Beggars banquet was the beginning of the groups best work. I'll tack on 2 more years through "Only Rock & Roll" and say I'm a huge Mick Taylor fan too !

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you Mike and for your commenting. Great to see that you can enjoy these the way I do. I felt it delivers more than any other doc has. Enjoy the others, you will find them in my Playlist. Many guitar lovers do say they pleasure Taylor's era.

[@mattiemclean9882]

Man, you must have had to put SO much work into putting this 3 part series together. I'm sure I'm not the only one to think that you have done this great piece of work justice. I was born in 1971 and so never got to appreciate the period (tho I did see the Stones here in London much later on in the 90s and they were still great.) As a musician, I can appreciate the extra miles you have gone with your research. Do more!! Set up Patreon if you haven't already and get some return on your hard work! God bless! Oh, one last thing, did you have to get clearance for using all the music and clips etc.? It would be tragic if KZbin took it down. Now that Alan Klein is not around you may be ok!!

[@FlipSideCT]

Hey Mattie thanks so much for the chat and praise and understanding hard work!! Surely a passion....and what is great is I walk away with more then I knew before. As you hopefully seen, I have done others.....I truly want folks to appreciate it like yourself and always enjoyed to turn folks on to music / info. To answer your question, no I did not get clearance but YT says the Video cannot be monetized / Ad revenue paid to copyright owner....due to 5 tracks I played. I am not sure if I can work this out with that YT impact. Due to the amount of work hours and hours of my time yes I would like to get some monetary value.....I love doing it....but it would help the situation. I made a 3 part series on Max's Kansas City (famous NYC Club) from how the owner started in early 60's - until 80's. It was real cool and great RnR info.....the inner circle of Max's watched and liked it, UNITL they told the owner's wife, and she insisted I take it down or she would complain. I find out after talking with her more......she is working on a documentary on MAX's, I believe this would have been competition. I still have them privately though. oh well.

[@mattiemclean9882]

@@FlipSideCT That's interesting. A couple of days ago I watched a whole day and nights worth of Ramones documentaries where they mention MAX's a lot and it occurred to me that I know nothing about that place compared to CBGB's! Good luck with all your future endevour's and thank you for those hours of solid Stones entertainment!!

Being a ''Stones geek'' I really appreciate the time and effort you've taken to produce these films, not to mention the love and care that is obvious. You spoke with the knowledge of a long term fan of the Stones but also of music which also colours our lives (when it's good) and I hope you can do more of the Rolling Stones' discography. Thanks again. I'm from the UK so excuse the way I spell colour.

Yes, COLOUR is a great description.....we feel the emotional connection and it brings us to a good place, it is beauty! appreciated! Steve

[@ianmills5237]

Where the hell do you get all the info from? Absolutely incredible, Probably the best music documentary I've seen.

[@FlipSideCT]

Thank you Ian for the support. Well as I mention in some docs.....I got sick and tired of 10-15 reviews, and the longer docs, just told us what we know already, throw in how folks do not understand who/what/where/why and how. The Stones fans needed more. So with me loving research, and having over 50 books on Stones, and how there is details out on the internet (but with caution), I know how to compile this detail and make a comprehensive timeline and flow of all the information I can find. I can surely say, I do not retain all of this. enjoy the other docs!!

Of course my friend! Are you kidding me? Your videos are HUGE and full of researched authentic information. With your channel, I don’t have to do anything but brew another cup of coffee and let the good times roll. I’m gonna order up that book from their tour manager. Imagine the job of the Stones TM? It’s the equivalent of what Richard Cole did with Zeppelin. I’m sure there was hard work involved but...after that came the fun stuff. They packed their beaks with only the best blow I’m certain of it. It was the Golden Rock Era and I live for it everyday. I was born when it was in full swing: 1967 so, I was 10 years too late!

[@luvbasses5487]

Some people can come across waaaaaaaay too opinionated. Low class, in my opinion. Let the conversation just flow man. I don’t wanna argue. I’m using Stones music to escape all the social nonsense and America haters out there today clamoring for some kind of change. Enough Already! We’ve come a far way from the sixties. We as Americans never claimed we were the best, we’re certainly better than the alternative though! Enjoy what’s available to you and be grateful.

[@mirrortime]

Yes, you have proved the greatness of this album. I hope future folks (Our children's, children's... ) see this. You are truly appreciated! I wanted to tell you... I met this guy here in Oregon when he did a speaking tour for a new non- Stones book. I forgot the guy's name but he's a good friend of the Stones and was the guy who introduced The Stones on the Get Yer Ya Yas Out album. He said 2 girls told him to say "They're the Greatest Band in the World" Because he didn't know what to say for some reason, he used that. He also said, Mick was not super happy about the new slogan but Mick loved it later. If I remember his name I'll edit his name here. Thanks so much! :)

Glad you mentioned the part about meeting the guy who actually did the introduction for the “The Greatest Band in the World… The Rolling Stones” and since you couldn’t remember the announcer’s name, no one can ever accuse you of being a NameDropper !! You kno… the kind of guy who sez, “I kno so and so who knows such and such and is the second cousin of who knows who” and so this makes me important and popular. Always better to be humble and keep all that on the down low anyway. I’m just wondering if you remember the part on YA- YA’s OUT where Mick showcases his ability to work the crowd when he sez, “I think my trousers are falling down. You wouldn’t want my trousers to fall down now WOULD YA !??” Hilarious! Classic! Touché and Bravo MICK !!! Ok it’s Sam Cutler so anyway it’s ok to namedrop now. We know your humble…

[@Notmehimorthem]

Was there at the front when Stones played Hyde Park. A high point of my life. Mick gave a eulogy to Brian, not mentioned here, from Shelley: “Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep - He hath awakened from the dream of life - ‘Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep With phantoms an unprofitable strife, And in mad trance, strike with our spirit’s knife Invulnerable nothings. - We decay Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief Convulse us and consume us day by day, And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay. The One remains, the many change and pass; Heaven’s light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly; Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass, Stains the white radiance of Eternity, Until Death tramples it to fragments. - Die, If thou wouldst be with that which thou dost seek! Follow where all is fled!”

[@mullet53]

Another wonderful set of documentaries sir! Amazing to tie in the sad end of Brian Jones, the groundbreaking 1969 tour, even the seeds of the "Tax Exile" era, and oh by the way probably Keith Richards' finest hour in the Stones. Although he wouldn't have it to be a concert performing band without a co-guitarist, Keith's skills of being either the rhythm weaver or the leading man were on full display throughout the album. It goes on, indeed. To be clear, even going back to Aftermath Keith took a majority of the guitar parts but Brian Jones did still contribute. Sometimes with his guitar (Jumpin' Jack Flash, No Expectations) or often with a variety of other instruments (Paint It Black, Under My Thumb, Ruby Tuesday). To hear the stories of how far gone he was by late 1968 was so sad, yet brought on by himself. In terms of the Stones, not the first or last time they were faced with a situation that would have knocked out mere mortals. As we all know, the Stones have yet to be knocked out and they continue to give us shelter!

[@FlipSideCT]

Well said Edward, thanks for sharing such fine comments! Agreed and thank you. Brian had many magical moments, and the reason why they became The Stones, but just drifted and became more a part timer, some due to mgt, personal style and I think, not able to write the songs. cheers

thanks again KGO.....so glad you saw them all. I surely enjoyed it myself, and have watched it for knowledge learning again. It is the only way I see a video should be made, and have folks walk away with something they dont know.

[@dixielandfarm]

I had no idea that was the concept for the album art - I just thought they just wanted a bunch of stuff :) I also think there is no symbolic ideas on the back cover - just a logical extension of normal entropy (or looking cool). The only thing that could make this album stronger is having Memo from Turner on it.

[@FlipSideCT]

Was'nt that cool to learn.....I honestly did not have that deep of the album art, knowledge, so I was digging it while I was reading and writing it down. Oh how we live in the world of conspiracies....and deep meanings.....the back cover was an easy way to to make a back cover...simple enough. Yes, Memo was considered and Honky Tonk....that would have put it on Saturn's Rings. thanks for all, and glad you finished it all!

Fantastic doc!! Best part, I immediately listened to this album yet, again!!

[@FlipSideCT]

perfect! the way it should turn out. I listen to it like it is my first time and always smile

[@gregdettling6693]

It stands out in my mind that Keith met Bobby Keys in 1964 in San Antonio Texas rather than 65 or 66. He also met a few others there I think was it Waylon Jennings and got the idea for open guitar tunings early on in 1964. I got this from his 1971 interview with Anita while in South of France 🇫🇷 working on Exile. I’d have to double check these things . But I think both were 1964. So we can see how events from 1964 influenced events from 1968 and 1969 and on in to the 1970s based on who he met in 1964 in Texas. Bobby Keys and Open Guitar tunings both instrumental ( pardon the pun ) for the new sound that would develop. But was it 1964 ? I’d have to look more deeply in to this . I’ve always thought it was 1964 on Keys . And when I listened to and read the 1971 interview I was surprised that he said 1964 Texas on the open tunings. Of course those don’t come directly from Texas. As for Keith’s famous earring I see photos of Keith from 1968 where he has the earring. I think he got the earring right after their ROCK and Roll circus filming on trip to South America and I think we can see photos of him in 1968 wearing that with those buggy alien 👽 like glasses. But then again that would be very late 1968. Really hope I’m not mistaken on these years and dates . Wiki is saying 1964 on meeting Keys . And Keys as you say was playing in that BVs band . SanAntonio Texas . But 1964 could be wrong . Apologies if I’ve made any mistakes with this . Also listen to that 1971 South of France interview closely and then listen to HAPPY ! It’s amazing .

[@midnightcharlieman6669]

Ok So.. I've just watched all 3 parts. Really well done. Extraordinary. I completely understood at the end when you mentioned all the hours you thought you had put into it.. Amazing.. I relate to that. Just want to say I appreciate it as a viewer. Most and or all of these things about the Let it Bleed album I did not know. Over the years I've focused entirely on the music.. The albums and have enjoyed that aspect which is the most important to me. In regard of the lyrics I don't read them and rarely used to anyway. I prefer to decipher the lyrics for myself. I love when lyrics are unclear and just work out for myself what I think the singer is conveying and then it brings different ideas and images to mind. Remarkable detail you brought to this documentary. As Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and Charlie Watts are huge dominant figures.. I'm only ever looking at them. Ok.. I do notice Ronnie who blends very well with Keith. I have to admit.. I didn't really notice Bill Wyman.. Or Darryl Jones.. Only just now with your documentaries. I was aware of Ronnie Woods and think he is terrific(sorry that relates to the other documentary) Very interesting to find out more about Brian Jones. Actually your documentary has informed/educated me about Mick Taylor as I never realized/knew about him previously. He was very good.. Quiet on stage.. That made him kind of interesting though. I have to admit.. I love when someone is robust on stage.. Has attitude on stage. The way Taylor played that guitar.. Marvelous. Ronnie was a nice fit later though. So your 3 part video has given me a greater insight into that era of the Stones and thank you.

[@FlipSideCT]

Sorry, I thought I replied to this, but seeing maybe I did not. Great comments and read it all. well put. As a musician and like so many others, listening to song and breaking it down is an art. Hearing all the pieces. Playing a song and focusing just on one instrument or lyrics is important. Listening with headphones to get the real feel. Many people and understandably so do not approach music this way and miss the brilliance, and the Stones bring it consistently. After watching so many other channels and docs, I was not walking away with anything, and decided a fan needed to enlighten other fans much better, and turn them on. So thank you for getting it all!! I have been listening and focusing much more to Ronnie and his contributions. With all the recent Live albums being released, you can hear how fantastic he is. His efforts on the last few studio albums also. I have even thought of doing a Faces doc he is so good. I did get to stand 6 inches from the stage and watch him backup Chuck Berry , and that was mind blowing and ever changing. thanks again for all!!!

[@midnightcharlieman6669]

@@FlipSideCT Thanks for replying.. Much appreciated. Oh Wow.. Chuck Berry.. Indeed. I actually saw the Stones in 2015 when they came to Sydney. I couldn't afford to go.. But my mum took my sister and myself. We were a bit more than half way up. It was completely surreal and afterwards I was like.. Ok.. "I saw the Stones".. That's an understatement. In regard of live albums.. I don't indulge in them very often these days if at all.. But from time to time I might. The first live album I ever bought was Live After Death.. 1986 On vinyl. Still have it. I've also got Get Ya Ya Ya's Out on vinyl. The first live footage I engaged with properly was GNR Live at the Ritz 1988.. I taped it from MTV on VHS. I think that was before I bought Appetite. Subsequently GNR became my favourite band back in 1991. Gnr are now my sentimental favourite. Yet in the early 90's I decided to pay great attention also to the Stones as those video clips on "rage" had left a big impression on me. I also had discovered Ozzy as well. Yeah.. I think Ronnie is interesting.. He's cool and Keith obviously interacts with Ronnie much more than he did with Taylor. I'm only able to say this now because I watched a whole bunch of live footage on here a few weeks back.. So I was able to work it all out and your documentary helped enormously. Duly noted what you have stated about Ronnie. Studio albums are everything to me. I prefer studio albums to live.. Depending. The way a note/lyric is sung. The instruments. The emotion expressed.. The ideas or feeling provoked/I then acquire from that. It is a subjective journey I go on.. Where a song will take me. Oh.. By the way. I only ever listen to music on headphones these days.. Except in the car. For years I listened on open speaker.. But a few years ago now started to use the apple ear buds. Then discovered Audio Technica and Beyerdynamic.. A different world. Now I can hear everything going on in an album/song. Thanks for your response.

Let It Bleed as you stated was a Masterpiece. A Rock/Blues opera in all it’s glory. I was 13/14 at its release my brother brought it home from UCONN one day. He put on Midnight Rambler over and over and over. I got it from the first break playing loudly thru my new Zenith “Circle Of Sound” stereo changer of the day. We both had been music lovers (deep divers of all genres) for years. I like how you have taken various information from some of the sites like Nico’s and others and put it together in a concise well delivered story. Kudos. You made this so much more digestible than going and reading the info at said sites. Dig your delivery you could have been early 70’s WPLR. Late nite or otherwise. Perfect flow!!!!👏🏻 I hear the mention of Bill Germans book along with Keith’s. The audiobook versions were great. They use voices and deliveries that just add so much to the story. Looking forward to many more deep dives by you. I have read much of this stuff over the years but like most minutia it goes in one side and out the other side. You on the other hand deliver it in such a way (to me anyhow) that it sticks. Jimmy Miller plays a huge role IMO in the “Golden Era” that run of 4/5 albums he was with. His sister Judith Miller wrote a beautiful piece if your interested it’s a really great brother sister read.

George Harrison visited the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco in 1968 and as the story goes he was accosted by an enormous swarm of smelly long-haired hippy fans ( no offense to hippies ), also present was were a few members of the local chapter of the Hell's Angels. Harrison was on some kind hallucinogenic concoction, and was becoming rather timid and freaked out by the whole scene there gathered around him. He, Patty Boyd and Beatles publicist Derek Taylor decided to flee the scene and make a getaway towards their waiting limosuine, but not before these three Angels made an intimidating appearance. In an awkward attempt to be continue their exit in a quick but unoffending way, George tells the Angels something along the lines of "it's been a pleasure, blah, blah, blah, you're welcome to come stay with The Beatles in London anytime you want," obviously assuming he would never see these guys again. Much to his amazement and dismay, shortly after The Beatles' infamous announcement to the world the launching of their new company Apple Corp. with all it's altruistic intentions, 12 San Francisco bikers from the Hell's Angels motorcycle club showed up at the airport in London and rang the offices of Apple Corp. in order for the company to pay to get their bikes out of hawk with the airline. They would soon be shuttled down to the Apple offices explaining George Harrison invited them and asked them to stay, where they would actually end up staying for a few weeks, enjoying free meals, cigarettes, top-shelf alcohol and drugs, and actually sleeping on the floors of the Apple Corp. offices, until finally being asked to leave. It would end with The Beatles footing the bill for the Hell's Angels to ride Harleys across Europe as some kind of artistic endeavor. These were the first Hells Angles in London, they were definitely not poseurs and these, I would imagine, would be the same Angles who worked security for the Stones at Hyde Park in 69'. I believe Hunter Thompson makes of a brief mention of this in The Terrible Saga Of The Hell's Angels, though I could be wrong, he certainly talks about Altamont.

[@FlipSideCT]

Very interesting story, and I can not disagree. I can say Sam Cutler and several others stated the same of what I mentioned about the London Bikers, and it was documented on film. There was much more info on it, but there was no need to elaborate more. We can both agree, we were not there, so we can only go by the stories we hear that make sense. Thanks for sharing you comments and letting me know this.

[@fittobetiedyed5315]

Thoroughly enjoyable, Steve. As I watched this third installment it became quite clear to me that you've documented the period when The Rolling Stones came into their own, out of The Beatles' shadow. Its more clear to me that Brian Jones' departure and Mick Taylor's insertion were only catalysts. There was a lot more going on with Jagger and with Richards that let to this important evolutionary (revolutionary?) period. You did a wonderful job here.

The Stones should thank you for your efforts and treatment. Choosing "the best" Stones album isn't easy (and maybe who cares anyway). Let It Bleed is certainly a contender, and the fact that, all these years later it's still worthy of a three part film that got me re-listening to it for the thousandth time with even more fascination, plus buying Cutler's book for more back story, says a ton. Thanks again.

thank you very much, very comforting words. It means a lot. I have a lot of pride in my work and got a bit fed up with such garbage out there, and that the fans needed something more. I really enjoy that the fans are clicking and in sync with my style/content. It is a pure passion. I would say note to note, second to second LIB is perfect. However, I would put on most of their albums and love it. Like you, I heard it so many times, but when I still do, it is like the first time it is that good. Glad you went back for a re-listen, cool. I am now reading (and late to the show) Under Their Thumb, Bill German). cheers

I've seen the Rolling Stones only 3 times: '66, '69 & '81, & 1969 BY FAR was the best... their Let It Bleed tour & one the best Rock'n'Roll shows I've ever witnessed... thank you for a wonder filled documentary...!

[@FlipSideCT]

very welcome and glad you commented. I could have picked that easily out of the 3. I just wonder how you missed 72-78.

I believe Brian hurt his hand as punishment from other stones and members. He had been abusive the night before and they gave him what for. Yes in a way he hurt it on Anita’s head. But not directly. As a result of pay back for hitting her or hitting her and others . So they took the hell right out of him and hurt his hand for him. Or in the process of taking the hell out of him as punishment he hurt his hand . I kind of doubt the other members would go for his hand being that he is was an important guitarist in the band or maybe they did since he liked using his hands so much when he got upset. This is my understanding of it and I’m sorry I can’t recall where I read it or got it from

[@FlipSideCT]

ok. There are a few stories.

[@adrianbeaumont6745]

Steve my man. The depth of insight into the history of the stones and also the delicacy of your take on it is spot on. Let it bleed is the Stones best album except for Exile because thats the album I play the most.. Thankyou for your labour of love you have proved how important music is in our lives. 👍😃🎶🙏

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you Adrian for your comments and appreciation for the entire subject matter. I love it that Stones heads are happy with my content. It is more then just a timeline I am giving, but more of what/how the Stones are a one time life experience we got to witness and I am glad to share what I did!! cheers

[@gregromano6829]

Super interesting and very in depth. Fantastic job as usual! Your passion is contagious and I always go back and listen closely to every record you document. I agree...The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World Please make more of these if you could. Much appreciated!

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you for commenting on this. very cool that you hear what I present and go back and listen. That is my intention. The headphones are a magic key....to hear that beauty. cheers

[@adrianhallich6101]

Fantastic. So much work, fun, and knowledge you put in. Never a dull moment and I have read a lot of books and seen lots of documentaries. Thanks for your time :-)

[@FlipSideCT]

thanks for letting me know Ace....appreciate your comments! I felt we all needed something that we can really learn from and get a feel for what went on....for the fan. enjoy the others!

[@gregdettling6693]

That is where I got my very first taste....was on LET IT BLEED on a record and two old old record players. One from the 1950s and one from the 1980s. I WAS GLUED to it and I couldn’t get enough of it . First record by anyone I had ever really listened to. I think my uncle had wanted to get rid of it and it got to our place and I found it and started to listen. I WAS HOOKED!!!! It doesn’t seem to sound as good or the same on CD. The record sound was the best ! Richer quality even it was old and scratched up all to heck! I felt even the little scratches added to it! I like to listen to fingers right after bleed and then go back to bleed. IT WAS JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS:) that’s some good material ! :) very special! :)

[@FlipSideCT]

thank you.

[@craigplanting8804]

I always thought the front of Let it Bleed was how the Stones wanted us to see them and the back was how they really are.

[@FlipSideCT]

sorry CP late on this......good point! .see my Part 1 Black and Blue now

[@joraffel5450]

Cheers from Germany and thanks ever so much. I completely lost interest in the Stones when Bill left. Darryl is brilliant - but different. Now with Charlie gone - that Steve Jordan has a big shoe to fill. Anyways - you sparked my interest in the brilliant earlier Stones. On another note: I was lucky enough to have backstage access to some shows in the 90ies. Also I own a Rock-Ola jukebox that I got from Bill in exchange for a Framus Bass. Those were the days...

[@FlipSideCT]

Hi Jo, vielen Dank für Ihr Kommentieren und Teilen. Glad to hear from a Stones head, whom this is intended for. I feel a deep groove was lost when Bill left. I feel it, and do not think Daryl can make it up, he is good, but does not have that deep seeded root. We will hear the Charlie difference in a studio album. I hope Steve J can prove me wrong. What a trade, now who benefited most? Backstage had got to be a a surreal world with so much going on. thanks again. and hope you check out the other docs I have! cheers

[@joraffel5450]

@@FlipSideCT As for the swap: Bill auctioned off the bass last year. If I remember correctly it fetched around 40 or 50 k US Dollars... Keep up the great work! Thank you! Next I will look at your Goat's Head Soup doc. Cheers, Jo

[@FlipSideCT]

@@joraffel5450 oh my goodness! $47k for him owning it! $3K for the guitar itself.

[@joraffel5450]

@@FlipSideCT I payed 600 Deutschmarks... Which was appropriate back them. These days you have to fork out 1500 Euros. The funny thing is he never used this particular version. Same with another Framus Star-Bass he aquired from me. That went for around 30 K. Poor guys that forked out big money. At least it went into charity.

[@FlipSideCT]

@@joraffel5450 600, lol. Did he try them out or bought them straight up? glad it was charity. I saw some of his items. He is the one Stone to hang out with and talk. I am so glad I bought my guitars when I did, they are just out of reach, and I would not be satisfied with these newer generic brands.

[@1rwjwith]

One thing I wanted to mention that I heard in a couple docs on Mussel Shoals is that Jimmy Miller either did not show up or left and the songs ther were really co produced by Mick, Keith and the Mussel Shoals crew, I forget the main guys name it may have been the guitarist in their studio group. Have you heard that?

[@bobsanders8030]

I think Exile On Main Street was recorded at 3 or 4 studios including Mussel Shoals. Great result.

[@FlipSideCT]

yes, the MS crew talk about it.....and do not remember 100% on Jimmy, but that sounds right....they had more input, then polished up after. good geeking thanks !!

[@FlipSideCT]

@@bobsanders8030 I do not believe Exile was done at MS, in LA though, and of course Nellcote.

[@cosmicforcesmusic]

By The way Back up singer Nanette Workman a good friend of mine , is her real name not Nanette Newman. It was a stage name. Im proud to see her mentioned here

[@FlipSideCT]

[@cosmicforcesmusic]
