I too remember when it came out. It's my favourite Rolling Stones song. I last saw them in Perth, November 2014 and what an amazing concert. When they played Sympathy for the Devil they had a chorus of about 15 women singing the "HOO HOO." It made the hairs in my arms stand up. ​@robertlagettie4792 @@robertlagettie4792

This is a song that I have heard 1000’s of times over the half a century. And yet I never grow tired of it. In fact, I can keep it on repeat without any problem. I’m not sure why this video was created but I am very grateful that it was. 56 years later, it’s a treasure, especially with its visual clarity and crisp sound. Thank you for uploading this for all of us to enjoy.

Where they absolutely blew the Beatles out of the water!

[@PC4USE1]

Naw,the song is great but it's apples and pears. One of the Stone's best,although my favorite is 'Gimme Shelter'. Stones were more blues based and the Beatles had more of a Rock a billy,Motown bent.

[@jdmthrash5042]

@@PC4USE1 I understand, but to be honest, blues and rockabilly/motown are all the same thing. If The Beatles had written this song, it would be hailed as a classic "diversion" from traditional blues norms. Incorporating styles not typical to the original blues concept., Still, I believe The Beatles had a greater ,musical exploration but, we must acknowledge, we are comparing apples to pears here.

This was released between The White Album, and Abbey Road. The Beatles remained quite calmly in the water in a yellow submarine.

Great job on the video

[@sassykitty292]

That studio wasn't exactly high-tech from what is shown in this video - but man, oh man.....magic was made there.

[@That_AMC_Guy]

I could be wrong, but I think the only two studios that were eight-track in the UK in 1968 were Olympic and Trident. EMI hadn't officially set up for eight track just yet. Both Olympic and Trident would have been considered the tippy-top of technology in Britain in the 1960's. But, I think a lot of this is simply mugging for the camera OR.... Mick Jagger WAS in the studio for the tracking session.... but he just laid down a scratch vocal. Even by 1968.... lead vocals are done in an isolation booth. To have Mick live with the band is unusual, but also his mouth movements clearly don't match the finished vocals in the song. Also note that Wyman's clothes change depending on the camera angle and in several instances, he's not even playing. To be honest, I don't know enough about the Rolling Stones to be accurate, but my educated guess is that they filmed a tracking session for the basic rhythm tracks of the song, or this was all done simply to make a film.

[@That_AMC_Guy]

@@bingsinatra5283 Thanks for the info. I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to the Stones. I mean I dig 'em, but I'm not fanatical. Yeah, EMI was 16-track by 1973.... Sgt Pepper was recorded on 4-track and I've seen some of the multitracks.... they are not only crowded but hissy due to the constant bouncing of tracks. 4-track was bear skins and stone knives compared to 16-track with Dolby! Imagine what the Beatles could have accomplished with 16-tracks!! I bet some of the vocal harmonies they came up with during the Get Back sessions and then Abbey Road would be magical if they could have done them on 16-track. It's a complete tragedy their harmonies are captured to a single mono track for their last two albums. I honestly believe the Beatles were really hitting full stride in '68/'69... I mean, they came up with some vocal harmonies that were rivalling the Wilson brothers of the Beach Boys!

You are hearing the finished mix while you are watching an earlier take. For the record, nothing Brian did made it to the final mix. His brain was so damaged it was out of sync with reality. As Mick said later " Brian could no longer perform as a musician." Jones could not keep 4/4 time with three simple chords so his out of rhythm playing was mixed out. some say that in the isolated piano track an out of time acoustic guitar can be barely heard trying to strum along...But in the final complete mix no acoustic guitar can be detected.
