The Rolling Stones - Shattered - Live OFFICIAL

[@mistaskeem]

The Rolling Stones are the purest definition of Rock & Roll.

[@kencabeen7786]

Agreed!

[@danishhald]

They’re playing the hell out of those guitars.

[@gregv79]

This is a GREAT version, maybe best I've ever heard. They still did it okay at the Beacon a few years back. How can anyone rag this clip. Insane.

The front man is a scum bag "Davos boy".... slime in fancy clothes.

[@kkz2916]

@@kazrules2007 Jagger is a phony with a small dick (according to Keith). Hangs out with the Davos crowd. Do you know who those people are and what they have planned for you and yours? Wake up.

Yes a great version of this tune and I’ve heard a few other great ones too, they all sound bloody wonderful to me indeed!!!👌😁😜🩷☘x

SAME. Hubs and I took our 2yo to an outdoor arena Stones concert in '93. She bounced in her stroller to the beat of the music, as she waved to Mega-Mick, strutting on the Jumbotron. She's now the age I was then, and a big Rolling Stones fan. Ye olde family tradtition continues... P.S. I'm 5,000% sure that if, by my hopefully-distant deathbed, my daughter thinks to put on a recording of "Shattered" at appropriate volume, my feeble, old spirit is gonna jump up and rock and roll all the way to wherever it is headed!

Seems like they always do. Probably a big part of thier staying power. They truly enjoy what they do.

[@sweetmeraki15]

Bruh, I loved this gig, look at the full energy and power the band has

[@ArmandoMPR]

This tour was all about reconnecting with their punkish attitude, and biting back at the young punk bands that were shitting on them. Unlike them, the Stones not only had the attitude but the talent as well.

It's got a punk feel to it in my opinion. I love this song and it made me buy this album.

Jagger did spend a lot of time in the city not too long before he started writing the songs that would make up Some Girls, the Stones’ 1978 album that oozes a New York vibe. For the most part, the album was Jagger’s baby, as his fellow Glimmer Twin Keith Richards was preoccupied with legal issues at the time. Still, Richards’ contributions to “Shattered,” which included the grimy main guitar riff and the “shadoobie” refrain, were integral. In a 1978 interview with Rolling Stone, Jagger spoke about the song’s origins. “In ‘Shattered,’ Keith and Woody [Ron Wood] put a riff down, and all we had was the word ‘shattered,’” he said. “So I just made the rest up and thought it would sound better if it were half-talked. I’d written some of my verses before I got into the studio, but I don’t like to keep singing the same thing over and over, so it changed. I was noticing that there were a lot of references to New York, so I kept it like that.” The Top 20 Rolling Stones Deep Cuts The New York that Jagger was referencing was a different animal from the shiny-surface, Today Show-ready haven it is now. In the Stones’ rendering, the city is a voracious living entity, fed by a heady mix of love, joy, sex, dreams, laughter, loneliness, sex and sex and sex, pride, greed, dirty dreams, and, just in case you didn’t hear Mick the first 19 times, sex. The narrator is taking the worst of it though: “And look at me, I’m in tatters.” Some of the descriptions play up the surreal nature of the surroundings: “People dressed in plastic bags, directing traffic.” At other times, Jagger easily slips into the town’s lingo to play up this guy’s frustration: “All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter ‘bout/Shmata, shmata, shmata, I can’t give it away on Seventh avenue.” The clever repetition of words hints at the excess of everything available to the city’s denizens. Jagger delivers this murky monologue brilliantly, his been-there, done-that cool giving way to itchy tension. “Don’t you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up?” he bellows. Things get really ugly as the song progresses: “We got rats on the west side, bed bugs uptown.” “Go ahead, bite the big apple, don’t mind the maggots,” Jagger dares the listener. His final line suggests that it’s best to just go along for the tawdry ride rather than rail against the squalor: “Pile it up, pile it up/pile it high on the platter.” Whether the “it” in that closing salvo refers to food, money, or drugs, the implication is that too much of it, while it might be pleasurable for a while, will eventually catch up to you. “Shattered” is one of The Rolling Stones most memorable depictions of street life, all the more remarkable considering that the streets in question weren’t their native ones.

[@Methilde]

Mick is one of the best songwriter, thanks for the explaination. He wrote so many greats lyrics, can't imagine the complete list.

[@written12]

Steve, great synopsis and analysis of the genesis and vibe of this song. Some Girls was the rebirth and, I hate to say, the last great album of the Stones

Arguably the greatest rock & roll band of all time!! Led Zeppelin & The Who fans can chime in now... Just remember I said "Arguably".....

[@allisons7389]

Personally for me, LED ZEPPELIN is the greatest band in the ENTIRE WORLD!!! Yeah, I'm a super fan. But anyways... I love the Rolling Stones too! In fact this is one of my favorite songs by them! 😁😇

[@MeIn321]

I think the Beatles, Supremes, and Temptations would have something to say about that.

[@peterberg9379]

Supremes and Temptations??!?! They're R&B dude. Soul music, not rock.

[@MeIn321]

peter berg Actually dude they are rock n roll. All of Motown is Rock n Roll because Rhythm and Blues is the heart of Rock N Roll.

[@peterberg9379]

even you did consider them rock and roll, I'm not sure they'd be the best representation of what rock n roll is to someone who doesn't listen to it. But all the same, I'm not a big believer in genre boxing. Good music is good music. no need to label it haha

[@vincentfender87]

Are we going to ignore Charlie Watts greatness is this version?

[@GFabio2011]

Fantastic track, one of my favourite, and great performance!

[@erreugeto]

There was wonderfully ragged looseness to a very tight band on this tour. They never threw down with quite the same intensity after this.

[@michaelemswiller5434]

Watch the 1981 Hampton, Virginia concert on Keith's 38 birthday. Astonishing.

[@dougdavis8986]

John Barry : blah blah blah

[@diegonunez5600]

they peaked physically in 1978.

[@tyecook9630]

I couldn't agree more, this performance just nails the sloppy, angry "fuck you!" spirit of the song better than any other live version of I've seen. It just takes off with an energy all it's own and the boys are hangin' on for dear life! Lightning in a bottle baby....

[@markrny5183]

"Shedube". No one knows what the hell i means, but you can't imagine the song without it, and it's become a part of the English language. No bad. Great vid! Thanks.

The GOAT. So many legendary tunes. This song simply kicks ass.

[@gideondingle9363]

I saw them on this tour in 1978 at Anaheim Stadium.It was the first concert I went 2.Tickets were $20.🎸

[@pipsissewa6623]

OMG, that's FABULOUS, but - gads, inflation! Though it does seem to fit the curve: private college tuition, now ~$60K/yr, was about $6K/yr in 1978 --- making a $20 ticket then, about $200 now. (I'm guessing that $200 buys a "cheap seat" for The Stones, today...)

I mean 60 yrs on stage. 70-80yrs old And they still SELL OUT STADIUMS. Not venues. Stadiums. and they are my persomal all time favorite band.

At a time when many classic Rock n roll bands were floundering the Stones switched it up and kicked their ass. Some girls had everything and the girls liked it for a change😜❗.

[@Texas_C8]

This is my favorite live performance of Shattered because Mick Jagger look's like he's about to have a nervous breakdown and I love when Ron Wood passes the joint to Keith Richards while they are playing and like another commenter on here said this song has a Very punk feel to it .

[@legalizitt]

There are times when I think a lot of bands are the greatest, The Stones are one of them. It might depend on mood, state of mind, and strain of herb. I think Led Zeppelin often. Pink Floyd sometimes. What if the original Lynyrd Skynyrd had survived? Or Van Halen or Guns 'n Roses? Metallica, AC/DC, Rush, the list is long, and Neil Young has had brushes with death. The next few decades will be hard. Lists and rankings of who is the best is silly, and bias. They are all great! Classic Rock will live on forever! Unite, fellow Headbangers; I miss my old MTV. I still remember seeing The Stones in 1980 in Boulder, CO at Folsom Field...front row on the grass! Saw The Who there, too. I even saw Twisted Sister in a bar, The Final Exam, in Randolph, NJ in 1979 before they were famous; had no idea who they were, but they were GREAT!

Must be a typo. By 1980 they were already very famous, notorious for their decadence and great live shows.
