Centuries from now, this period of music from 1955 to 1995 will no doubt be considered a very important "second renaissance". I dont believe many of my peers realize how lucky we were to be alive during this time and had the privilege to actually see some of these incredible musicians. A very unique period that contains some of the most emotionally poignant music ever created IMO.

[@mn2009]

I think one thing about The Rolling Stones that never gets talked about is Jagger's voice. Indeed he has terrific stage presence but his voice is severely underated in that no one ever mentions the depth and breadth of emotion he is able to convey in his voice.

[@parallaxcontinuum7898]

Indeed - whether you call mimicry , or shapshifting /morphing -it's Mick's "Method "acting that reaches deep into the song, it's origins , giving context,for greatest impact.

Nearly 80 and his voice is a good as ever and physically looking fit for stage work.

He's not a great singer and doesn't have a great voice, but he's a great actor when he sings.

Probably cause he can't sing. Hell, Keith Richards sings better than him. And I do like the Stones

[@fourthtunz]

It’s true Jagger’s got a great voice and never gets talked about quite a variety of sounds come out of him.. If you try to cover stones songs you quickly find out how hard he is to duplicate

[@stevekaspar1396]

As a budding teenager, in December of '67 in the bath of Sgt Pepper, I was totally immersed in Magisties Request to the point where my mother and I listened to it over and over while wrapping Christmas presents 🎁 lol...making the holidays soundtrack over the house sound system.. making cookies.. pastries.. and decorating the entire house.. very interesting convergence. To this day I defend that album.. '600 Light Years From Home' still gives me chills and that song propelled my deep interest in the universe ✨️

[@KeizerHedorah]

Oh 600 hundred light years is your favorite song? That's cool my favorite is probably He's A Rainbow

[@billowens8051]

I have to agree with your defense of "Satanic ...". Psychedelia was not a natural fit for the Stones, but they jumped on that band wagon as did most bands of the period. Luckily, they quickly realized that was not their metier. That said, I think it's a great album. "The Lantern' can still give me goose bumps. It like a Delta bluesman dropped acid. And "She's A Rainbow" is as good as anything on "Sgt Pepper" IMO. Nobody really topped Pepper during that phase, BUT I listen to Satanic more often nowadays than Pepper - way more. It just has more edge and grit than Pepper.

[@joeanthony7759]

The song, promo-clip, and photo for the single of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is probably one of the most influential thing the Stones have ever done. That the tune was an instant, enduring classic is obvious. Their new look at the time, for the video and photos for the cover of the single, this combination of glittery-gypsy-vagabond-pirates, was a precursor for the glam-rock era of the early '70s. This style and the song itself transcended all tastes.

[@DDEENY]

Agreed. "Jumpin' Jack Flash" marked the end of The Stones' Beatlesque identity crisis with _Between The Buttons_ and _Their Satanic Majesties Request_ and launched them into the zenith of their career of the late '60's and early '70's.

[@barberoriley5059]

We Love You is psychedelia par excellence and, like yourself, the song that got me hooked on this band at the age of 9 (from my older brothers Story of the Stones compilation). She Smiled Sweetly, Citadel and Jivin’ Sister Fanny also tremendous deep cuts from the period you mention.

She didnt want much to do with them, thought they were just too old (She really had a bad attitude as a teen, very withdrawn) Then I took her to a show in 1997, when she was 14, I remember her saying on the way to the concert "Are they gonna come out in wheelchairs?" Almost turned the car around right there. But after the show she was just blown away, to my surprise, she kept saying "That Mick Jagger is so fucking cool" Lol. Anyway, after that show she did the deep dive, even calling me to ask which album she should buy first (I told her Let it Bleed.) What surprised me as she got really deep into the band that it was the deep cuts, not the hits that she started to obsess over. Except for Paint it Black, which she loved. (No surprise there, at the time she was a goth loner type that wore black lipstick.) Now she's 40 and a huge Stones fan. Im so proud

The Stones had to be completely depressed during that psyadelic Era. "She's a Rainbow" was their savior, if you ask me.

[@shea086]

My own view is.. You cannot compare the Stones music with the Beatles music. The Beatles are in their own class musically. The Stones are one of the best best bands at what they do. It was embarressing to watch most other bands in the 60s try to compete with the Beatles. The Beatles were in a class of their own. The media bebaved very badly in the sensationalism they poured on the Stones and then blamed other people for what they published in the media. The media was out to embarress people like the Beatles and the Stones who were not establishment figures as such but it backfired and the media ended up being the real cause of the the counter culture. The more the media and the establishment went after the above mentioned, the more the people sympathised with writers /performers like the the Stones and the Beatles. Afterall these modern artists were of the people.

So he mentions that Meradith was African American but not that he was shooting at the stage. The Angel saved lives. He was there in seconds.

[@georgeprice4212]

THERE WAS N O PROOF OF MEREDITH HAVING A N Y WEAPONS ON HIM! THERE WAS NO SHOTS AT THE STAGE EITHER! THE MOVIE PROVED THAT!

[@Saltycracka74]

Meredith pulled out a gun for a reason. No one disputes it regardless of the crocodile tears. The irony was his own girlfriend's sweater perfectly catches the gun in freezeframe.

Guys in bands should lay off of their band mates' wives and girlfriends.

[@cynthiadaw131]

Heres the real deal!! With Brain Jones the band got popular and famous. It probably wouldnt had the same dynamics with out him!! So since their famous now, Jaggars and Richard's did what they want.

[@mykeyoh1536]

54:00 perhaps the first "Light Saber" ever caught on film. I'm sure a USC film student like George Lucas would have seen this back in '68....

[@secularZoo]

Dude! It even looks like Han & Luke are there in that clip. 😅 I just sent this on Star Wars day as a coincidence 5/4/23

The best critics most of the time are the people who actually buy the records for their worth...the music of the time. The average person who buys those singles or albums are not trying to pseudointellectually analyze it down to the last piece of dust in the groove of the disc, they are buying it because they liked the sound of it. Let the bands grow with their music. Who cares if they come out with a dud occasionally. People who bought those duds are probably today sitting on a gold mine if they have the insulting urge to put it to auction.

[@derjogderjog8031]

This one guy says Stones cannot write ballads....What ?? He is nuts ?? RUBY TUESDAY; AS TEARS GO BY; LADY JANE; TELL ME; HEART OF STONE; ANGIE, WILD HORSES... and more...The Beatles were awesome....but the STONES ARE DIETIES...If I had to stay locked into a room and listening to both...I get tired very quick of she loves she loves hold my hand hold my hand, etc... Those early Beatles songs lyrics were all repeats... Stones wrote excellent non repeat lyrics...And just how many songs the Stones have vs the Beatles...Again I very much like the Beatles....but the Stones are at top of pyramid... Finally that guy apparently has not listened to all Stones songs...and one last thing Satantics majesty has unbelievable songs...better than sgt peppers in my opinion...Thanks for the one guy...hitting almost every time..he is correct...The other guy is just biased on beatles...

[@mullerk2]

Brian Jones, the Golden Stone. The most talented and we Jones fans will never forget him. After he was gone, the band was boring.

[@renzorubini5829]

Their Satanic is a Rolling Stones masterpiece, Sergeant Pepper is a George Martin masterpiece

[@ArmandoMPR]

"Ruby Tuesday" wasn't a Brian Jones composition. The lyrics are all Keith, while the music was mostly Keith with Brian helping him some.

[@TommiTuominen1975]

That's one of many things we'll never find out. And it's just fine. Still, it's arguably pretty interesting subject.

[@brianpurdy6072]

Please name your source.

[@Cissy2cute]

The music was almost solely Brian.

[@marknroses]

Looking back I hope the music critics regret writing off the Rolling Stones and maybe will revisit their psychedelic. A bit more favorable given the amount of creative output they were able to do in such a limited time and with all those personal and legal distractions

[@OldDavo1950]

I have a Mint Original UK pressing of Satanic Majesty's Request, with the shimmering window. Now worth a alot on Discogs. For an album that was panned by people on this video. Not a bad earner. Not that I would sell it. Beggars Banquet was another classic. Later stuff I really like Bridges to Babylon

[@gordonquigg9389]

At 11:00. I disagree. I think Between The Buttons and their psychedelic songs and albums were epics. Their song writing blew the Beatles and the kinks away, in that era. A day in the life sucks. Hear it once and you never want to listen to it again. Whereas the stones music in that era was so infectious, that we want to listen them so much that they become part of our lifestyle and we still listen to them over and over today. Most of the Beatles songs don't make sense, they are bubble gum comedy, just to get songs out there, and even though they are technically musical master pieces, they eventually become stupid and we become bored with them. Not so with the Stones, even the stones most psychedelic songs make so much sense we live in them and they become part of us, and when we can't listen to them over and over we find ourselves singing them in the shower and where ever we go.Thats the sign of good music. The stones were singing about the times and the way people were changing with, and as a result of, the times. I know because I was born February 8,1957, and consciously lived through the entire 1960's era, in southern California from '58 to '68, the times of some of the most radical changes in humanity, in the quickest amount of time in the history of the earth. Major turning points where humanity would never be the same again. Other similar bands of that time period of the mid to late sixties we're, Jefferson Airplane, Eric Burden and the animals, Cream, Donovan, the surf guitar bands, kinks, and thousands of garage punk surf rock bands across America, Europe, and especially throughout England.

[@robertcuminale1212]

Does anyone remember that Grand Funk Railroad recorded this in 1971 and did a great job on it?

[@julianbarber4708]

First time I heard it....and yes, it was good!

[@philsurtees]

I look into my Crystal Ball and predict that 50 years from now you will be flying around, still covering the songs you're writing now, like a wedding band, having to decide what to do when bandmembers die, not from a drug overdose but from old age...

[@johnwhale8316]

It a single mention of Bill Wyman.

[@neonh161]

In my opinion "Ruby Tuesday/Let's Spend The Night Together" double A side isn't like The Rolling Stones "Yesterday" by The Beatles, it's more comparable to The Beatles double A side "Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane" coincidentally both The Rolling Stones & The Beatles were recording these double A sides at the same time Nov-Dec 1966, however The Rolling Stones pipped The Beatles by releasing their double A side in Jan 67 one month earlier than The Beatles Feb 67 release..

[@davidroberts766]

Brian Jones WAS, the Rolling Stones.

[@sherryboyd817]

Absolutely 💯

[@mfallen6894]

How are you going to do a Stone's doc and not include segments on Exile, Sticky Fingers, and Goat's Head?! I get that it's a "how they found their voice" but a significant portion of said voice was in those three albums. Still a great doc I'd never seen on the band, just wish it was longer/more thorough.

[@mikeandreach3777]

FlipsideCt is a dude here on KZbin. He does documentaries on a lot of Stones’ stuff. He does a 3 part thing(I think it’s 3)about let it bleed. There are other documentaries he does as well. Check it out, if you haven’t already. He’s incredibly thorough in his info

[@joeanthony7759]

It's noted in the beginning that he was going to focus on the 1960s, particularly the changes between '67-'69. There are plenty of other docs that go into their classic early 1970s period.
