The Rolling Stones - Happy (From "Ladies & Gentlemen")

[@ianmills5237]

Theres something seriously magical going on when Mick and Keith are at the mic singing this song. Rock n Roll WILL NEVER get any better than this.

[@universallanguage59]

Yes. Yes , indeed. Them sharing the one mic just seems to capture something that takes this one to the next level, as if it NEEDS to be done this way, 'for best results...'. As always, this is just IMHO. Unlike Honky Tonk, cowbell seems unnecessary, to me. One of their finer moments, methinks...

50 years on, and Jagger looks exactly the same. Greatest rock band at the peak of their powers

[@philmontejano5971]

Mick Taylor was in the band in this concert. Best guitarist they have ever had

[@ericlee2931]

Look at Mick Taylor, .... Any sensible person would agree, Mick Taylor did a large part of the "heavy lifting" while with the Stones... Keith seemed to admire and lean on him. Mick Jagger lost it when he was informed that Mick Taylor was leaving. We all agree that Brian Jones might have been the most talented Stone, but Mick Taylor is a talented guitar player that brought stability in a band that lacked "an anchor" When Mick left, he had did his job, and perhaps was the only glue that would keep Stones together during those years

[@dondamon4669]

It’s so great how much they are into it! That’s what makes a live performance!

[@dondamon4669]

I hate all this Mick Taylor period was the best stuff! When in reality it’s the period of when Mick and Keith were writing there best songs. It doesn’t matter who is playing lead guitar if the songs are crap. The songs they wrote from 68 to 74 and afterwards were the greatest rock n roll songs ever so people should stop thinking it’s coz of the guitarist 😂!… it’s the songs they wrote in this period.

[@eurostenners]

@@dondamon4669 Lol. What you think MJ wrote the fills and solos that MT was playing? KR comes up with the skeleton of the song, MJ the lyrics and sometimes the melody and MT writes the solos and fills. How come Ronnie can't do what Mick Taylor did if it is so easy? One other thing...the day Mick Taylor leaves the band, Jagger and Richards stop writing good tunes.....hmm....yeah. OK.

[@ferm8103]

@@dondamon4669 I couldnt agree more, they were on a run from 68 of high quality albums, tour in 69 then this one in 72 which really both tours shaped the modern model of the arena then stadium tour, mick taylor , fine player he is played the guitar in the band at this time, he is not the reason why the band became the biggest live draw in the world .

breathtaking talent from the stones in those days.

[@stonesmad]

I've been a huge fan for as long as I can remember. I love all their stuff but the energy, enthusiasm and crispness of the playing at that concert were really something special. In a strange way, the unsophisticated camera work and lack of props (as seen in the mega concerts of the 80's, 90's and 2000's) actually enhances the film.

[@Methilde]

I prefer when everything is not too clean, think to Robert Johnson.

Still the best version of this song after all these years. Keith was still slamming smack but he was still functioning at the time and Mick Taylor added a solo that has not been replicated since. This all changed by 1976 and the videos here on KZbin prove it.

Anyone who doubts this is the greatest band in rock 'n roll history needs only listen to this tune. It is hard to believe that Keith was ever so young. I love his voice. He should have sung more. Anyone that hasn't heard Nils Lofgren's song "Keith Don't Go," needs to give it a listen. To me as much adulation as Keith got he always deserved more. This one of the heros of rock.

[@walterpewen7903]

It's 1972. The film is "Ladies and Gentleman, The Rolling Stones." One of the centerpieces of the whole show, this is when the Stones started playing with horn sections. In some ways, the ultimate Stones tour. They rocked the entire United States and the whole country was on THIS tour for the entire decade...

Wish I had been old enough to see them ! I did catch the Some Girls tour in '78, and it was awesome!

Yes, 100%, untouchable when it came to tours, always raising the bar in all ways, the touring model was basically invented by the stones from 69 onwards, big shows in arena's etc then the stadiums, the best.

I miss Mick and Keef doing this tune together on stage. These days Mick leaves the stage. People forget that despite the fact that Keef sang the song, it was a top 25 hit single for the Stones. Not a smash hit, but not bad for a tune not sung my Mick. Although Jagger was married to Bianca (who Keef reportedly didn't dig), they still had that special camaraderie at this time. Jagger didn't become a jet setter until the late 70's.

[@dondamon4669]

Become a jet setter 😂! He just didn’t want to hang around with his friend Keith and Ronnie and can you blame him! They were a pair of plums and Keith became a character acting like someone completely different ! a sort of Jamaican reggae pirate and it surely would of felt false to Mick and the years before that Keith was in his world with Anita and smack and was the one who turned away from Mick

[@garyrasberryjr.552]

Keith actually came to respect Bianca because of her intelligence and her activism with groups like Amnesty International. Said the only thing he didn't like was she didn't get jokes. Keith wrote in his book if she had a sense of humor, he'd have married her. Keith didn't dig that Bianca would come to him when she was ticked off about Mick.

It's always funny to watch the Old Guard pick fights with the new kids. Usually fights that have no reason except for some basic word-association impulse.
