The Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers (Live) - OFFICIAL

[@willmiddleton9199]

Yeah, best version of Dead Flowers EVER... I locked onto the Stones when I was maybe 11 or 12 - been a huge fan ever since (I am 65 now, lol). The live performances between 1969 and 1972 are some of the best live rock and roll performances ever and are the reason they were known as the best rock and roll band in the land - TRUTH. The Stones and the Allman Brothers between '69 and '71 / '72 are the pinnacle of live music EVER... God Bless 'em all !

It's becoming so popular on music videos featuring very famous/talented musicians for the comments " so and so ( insert very famous name ) is underrated " Sorry but it's not cool to jump on the underrated bandwagon, it's just ridiculous especially when talking about a rock and roll legend who's considered one of the best ever

It’s too bad, this was one of the major things that made the Stones sound like the Stones (vs just sounding like Mick Jagger). Do you see the smiles between Mick & Keith here? They sure don’t do that anymore either - in fact, none of them smile at all during a concert these last 20+ years! Well, except Keith...he smiles often, but it is not while he’s playing. It’s sad, they just don’t seem like they have fun doing it; and we know that none of the band likes Mick (because he did become such an old lady and premadonna), and Keith and Mick can’t stand each other - so WHY continue touring? Not like any of them need the money! If they loved it, that would make sense, but they sure don’t look like they enjoy it. Almost like it’s torture! Oh well.

It’s today they don’t have that same chemistry and closeness they had back then. When Keith stopped the drugs, he took a more active role in the band and that caused conflict with Mick, who up til then was more often able to get his way. Again, that’s why I said I miss it, they had a collaboration that worked and they made some great music! We haven’t seen music like this from them since the 70’s, and most likely we never will again. ☹️ I agree with you, he is The Godfather, and an extremely underrated musical influence!

You know, I always preferred Keith's vocals over Mick's. Songs like 'Happy' and 'Walk before they make me run' belong to my favourites. Ah well, on the other hand...., there's only one singer who can get away with his vocals on a song like 'Emotional Rescue'.

His solos during the European 1970 tour are amazing: Brown Sugar, Dead Flowers, Love In Vain, to name a few of them. But there's hardly any good material from that tour, the Essen concert being the best registered (audience) recording. But how many American do know about the Rolling Stones 1970 European tour?

[@petemartin295]

Actually, by this time, there were cracks in their relationship. They just didn't know it yet. Mick had married Bianca a year previously in a church (which Keith completely hated) and Keith and Anita detested Bianca. The feelings were mutual since Bianca reported told Mick (concerning Anita) "I never want to see that cow again". They were also associating in completely different circles (partly because of Mick's high society connections and Keith's increasing drug dependance). You could say that the big break-up in the eighties had its origins right about this time.

[@puplover7991]

I have a theory about their big break up. Being partners w/ a drug addict will damage even the best relationships. Keef was mostly "gone" thru the entire 70's. Mick didn't know when he'd nod off, when he'd have to score, when he'd be functional. Then keef quit smack and he was (relatively) together, he wanted to things to go back to being equal. I think Mick had so much resentment, and he never dealt w/ it. So, they bit each other's heads off in the 80s. Hell, they really needed therapy!

Yeah, Mick and Anita had sex on the set of the movie they were making a few years previously. Reportedly, Keith was in the car while this was going on and knew all about it but refused to confront them. That was certainly part of the falling out between Mick and Keith.

[@ReeferSutherland]

it's adorable to see them having a bit of a laugh while sharing the mic, i always smile and sing out loud watching this. Taylor's solo kills too ... 'play that guitar boy!"

[@kevinappleman848]

Mick and Keith having the time of thier lives _ good to see !

[@markperry4165]

Dead Flowers was only played once on the 1972 Tour and they did a pretty remarkable job that night in Fort Worth, the band must have remembered playing it on the 1971 UK Tour

[@lorischecter5187]

Mick rocks the blues..... MAGNIFICENT

[@johnd1786]

Greatest rock band in history. Nobody even comes close.

[@randos.946]

MiCK 2 MiCK ... "PLAY THAT GUITAR BOY" ... and he did ... like silk on satin.

[@jgm4661]

A cleverly written song, beautifully sung adorned with some virtuoso instrumental performances. Why music can be so great.

[@keeponrollin7922]

Man keith could fkn sing back in the day,them two together on harmony was unique as hell and very fitting

Happy 80th booger. Thanks for making me day alittle easier. Here's to many more my friend.

[@tzurb777]

Magical song. These guys are bigger than life.

[@domenic8218]

Greatest rock and roll band ever!!!

[@domenic8218]

The Beatles opened the door, the Stones let us all in!!

[@Platewarp]

My favorite Stones lineup!

[@edgarrudsit5260]

This is when the Stones truly were The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world.

[@retardbird689]

@@edgarrudsit5260 Absolutely. This is the era they earned them that title. In the early seventies nobody could touch them. Especially not live

[@KW-kf7ug]

Love the smiles and can’t top the music ❤

[@abaheffiharfiana7914]

We never know why Mick Taylor left the group. We just crying inside while enjoying how impressive Mick playing his guitar all the amazing Dead Flowers rolls...

[@melaniemartin4126]

No musician or band can ever come close to the Stones!

[@b.b.norman7505]

So true. Cyndy in Alabama

[@krdloco11]

play the guitar boy. while they were singing their hearts out a young Mick Taylor was strumming along. Both his strums and their voices made this version. perfection. they were at their best

[@billdee2201]

classic Mick Taylor, wailin' away in the back round pickin some hot stuff

[@bldallas]

Super tight performance of one of my favorite Stones songs! And to think, they are still at it 50 years later, too!!! RIP Charlie Watts, you will be missed.

[@davidmellish3295]

Nearly 60 years now my friend not 50,in fact it will be 60 years next year since they first formed and still playing, it's just mind boggling when you think about it

[@davidmellish3295]

Sorry,I've just re read what you wrote and I see now you meant it's nearly 50 years since this performance not the formation of the band

[@bldallas]

@@davidmellish3295 funny. I remember hanging out in my apartment with some buddies and getting into a stoner-like discussion about whether the Rolling Stone would be still at it, when the members turned 50, and if so, would they still rock? It was really hard to imagine. Now I’M 59 and they are STILL rocking.

[@bldallas]

@@davidmellish3295 no worries.

[@Greywitch33]

Here since the beginning and here to the end . Thank you mick .

[@canopepsi]

Keith's vocals outshine mick's on this, he's just too good!

[@Foldisfitch]

Mick Jagger - The ultimate Rock star! You can tell he knows too...and it's no put on!

[@mathmusic1490]

They have huge energy and it shows! Is this maybe thus the best live version of "Dead Flowers" by the Stones?

[@mateuszmattias]

It's the best I've ever found. Perhaps one could say Mick Taylors' solo on the Marquee Club version from 1971 is even a slight bit more soulful than this one, but on the other hand Keith isn't in the best shape there and you can hear that on his singing. And Mick still plays a great solo here, so all in all this is the one as far as I'm concerned.

[@jimdavis1939]

Absolutely the best live version!

[@georgehorner1578]

Mick Taylor , Mick Taylor, Mick Taylor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@anycolouryoulike]

The golden age of the Rolling Stones (arguably)...

[@charlesjenkins1225]

no argument at all . The Mick year were their Golden Years.

[@rolandomota3243]

Golden era was with Brian. This is the rolling stones silver age

[@charlessteenburgen]

@@rolandomota3243 Brian Who ???

[@lesliekempton7886]

mick and keiths voices compliment each other very well

[@davidjackson6835]

Such a good song. And Mick Taylor....best years of the Stones.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Yeah, but turn up the bass and listen to Bill Wyman's licks. In my humble opinion, Wyman was the best creative bass player in rcck 'n roll. He and Charlie Watts were absolute perfection.

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

@@LeonAllanDavis : Definitely. Bill Wyman and Entwistle from The Who.

[@LeonAllanDavis]

@@Lunatic4Bizcas I've always hated the Who because at the end of a concert, they smashed their instruments. I worked and saved and scrimped for my first guitar. Made weekly payments at a pawn shop. When I finally took it home, it became my most treasured possession. Smashing it would have been like cutting off my right arm.

[@MrGaditana]

Best Stones Period EVER

Some people don't realize that the Stones could keep up with the Best Of them when it came to Their Country/Country Rock Sound I always love The Stones💝💝💝😍
