This version is from "The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus" in December 1968. It featured other acts as well (including The Who and John Lennon) but the Stones were not happy with their performance and it remained unreleased for 28 years. The band were formed in 1962 so while they were young, they had already released several classic singles and albums by this stage. The studio version of the song is the one to listen to. It's on the LET IT BLEED album.

[@lewistasso8866]

Jamel, you have to listen to the studio version. This live version doesn't have the choir, the horns, and has a different feel altogether. The studio version will blow you away!

[@emmef7970]

Been waiting ages for the Stones. So many great tunes. This is nowhere near the best version or performance of this song. Totally agree that the choir & horns take this song to another level. If you like the stripped down version that's fine but I don't think it works that well on this song.

It has several big bands like The Who, Jethro Tull, and a supergroup of John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and the drummer for Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't actually released until 1995 because the stones performance was outshined by the who.

They were coming off the greatest streak of album releases of all time (Beggars Banquet / Let It Bleed / Sticky Fingers / Exile On Main St) and absolutely killing it live. Completely from another universe. I'd say that's the greatest live version they've released of what I consider one of their best songs ever. Would absolutely love to see you react to that!

[@blackeyedlily]

I love this video, which I happened to stumble upon a few months ago, of the Rolling Stones. Their band was formed in 1962 and this was filmed in 1968. One of the things I really like about it is that Brian Jones (the blonde guitarist on the stage next to Mick) is still alive at this point. He was such an integral part of their band when they began. And was supposed to be a very talented musician who could play many different instruments. His story is the all to often tragic story of rock stars. He started using drugs quite heavily and eventually the band was having a lot of trouble with him because of it. The band dismissed him in 1969, and one month later he was found dead at the bottom of his swimming pool.

[@markandrews3397]

Here in 1968, the boys were working out the kinks of a potentially great new song. It turned to be the song the Stones selected to be the grand finale to my favorite Rolling Stones album, 1969's "Let It Bleed." The song totally summed up the '60s era, and the version for that album is double the length of this filmed version. It features a children's choir followed by a lovely and very classical French horn solo, then a gorgeous acoustic introduction beginning, which builds into an ever-more-powerful electric rock with great piano and organ parts, and finally ends in a powerful musical climax with a large mixed choir. Please do yourself (and us) a favor and react to the "Let it Bleed" version of the song. You (and your followers) won't be disappointed.

Hey Jamel. This performance was part of a special concert called "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus" held in December, 1968. The concert was filmed, and was originally slated to be broadcast on the BBC. However, the Rolling Stones themselves blocked it from being released because they felt that their own performances on the program were sub-standard, which was a real shame for the general public because some of their special guests put on amazingly good performances. The Who did their very first "rock opera" concept song, "A Quick One (While He's Away)", in its entirety. Jethro Tull performed for the very first (and only) time with their new lead guitarist, Tony Iommi (who then left Tull and went back to his mates Ozzy, Geezer and Bill to form Black Sabbath). A one-time "supergroup" got together for this one performance, and called themselves "The Dirty Mac": John Lennon (from the Beatles) on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Eric Clapton (formerly from Cream) on lead guitar, Keith Richards (from the Rolling Stones) on bass, and Mitch Mitchell (from the Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums performing "Yer Blues" from the Beatles' "White Album", their latest release at the time. On a sad note, this was the last live performance with the Rolling Stones by founder member blond guitarist Brian Jones. He was fired from the Stones not long after, and was soon found dead in his swimming pool. That may have contributed to the reasons why the film of the show was not released... This CAN be considered "early" Stones/Jagger, but it's kind of a stretch. It is the VERY LAST bit of "early", because they'd been around for several years already, had many hits. The following year, they'd hire guitarist Mick Taylor to replace Jones, launching them into their "peak" phase.

This was from a TV show the stones made perhaps for the BBC back in the late sixties called Rock n Roll Circus. Also playing on show were Lennon, Yoko, Clapton, the Who, others.

And definitely listen to the studio version and any live version you can find with a choir. It’s beautiful!

This is 1968, as part of "The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus " concert film that featured other artists as well. The song came out on the 1969 "Let It Bleed" album.

He was young, but about 10 years older than when I first heard them. I'm old.

[@PamelaThomas-mm2pz]

My dad used to sing this to me or my sister whenever we can’t get our way. Real funny daddy. 😂😂😂😂😂

My favorite Stones.

[@marymcginn8761]

The song originally debuted in 1968. But this clip is from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, which was a BBC tv special from that same year.

[@rubedoglaguna21]

Yes! You on a good one with the Stones. I most recently re discovered them as an adult and absolutely love their early stuff

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Me too! I love their really early stuff; lots of blues.

When I was in college, the men’s dorm blasted “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction”. The women’s dorm blasted this in response

Something to keep in mind about this particular performance is that the Stones were absolutely exhausted. They were hosting this huge concert, and it featured a ton of other acts. Those took a very long time to film, and the Rolling Stones were the last to go. They also hadn't preformed live in a while; either for months, or around a year. They were so dissatisfied with how they sounded that they blocked the release of the concert for decades.
