The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil (Edited Music Video, Version 2)

Music video for one of the greatest songs by The Rolling Stones made by me using scenes from the film 'Sympathy for the Devil' released in 1968 and taken here from the blu-ray released in 2018.

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.

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

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.

The only song that gets people to get violent at a Stones concert, as confirmed by Mick Jagger and I can confirm having gone to 3 shows over the last 3 decades. "What's troubling you is the nature of my game". Go figure.

[@rubenchavez2107]

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.

Because their bass player hadn't made it into the studio on time that day; he was severely hung over or some say strung out on hard street drugs that particular day. So Keith tired of waiting for their mate finally grabbed a bass and filled in the best he could.
