WE OFFICIALLY MISS THE 60'S & 70'S! First Time Hearing The Rolling Stones - Ruby Tuesday Reaction

[@bobmessier5215]

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" is a fantastic rock and blues track by the Stones!

[@Jude_196]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!! :) BANGER!!

[@RickTBL]

The amazing jam at the end was not planned, it just happened.

[@petermachare5711]

Yes, please, Can't You Hear Me Knocking?

[@davescurry69]

More like jazz for most of the track.

[@bobmessier5215]

@@davescurry69 Acid jazz rock fusion for sure! Like a Grateful Dead or Pink Floyd jam.

[@scottgorski7931]

Much like The Beatles, the Stones sound changed and evolved with time. The one constant with both bands is the voices.

[@msisles6278]

This is why they are one of the greatest groups of all-time. They can play pop, country, blues, rock....you name it. My wife thought for years this was a Beatles song.

[@ROSEBILL]

You are absolutely correct. The sound you heard in the song is a recorder, played by guitarist Brian Jones who also played the piano. RIP Brian. Another great reaction to a fantastic song.

[@mikesheridan7651]

Keith wrote the song on piano and plays piano. If you watch the clip from Ed Sullivan Show you will see Keith in the rare position of sitting at a piano 😊😊

[@jeffmorse645]

Try "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Yet another shade of the Rolling Stones that will surprise you. Do the long version for sure.

[@bluebird3281]

Yeah, long version!

[@ls1959]

And the original recording, not a live version or the Rock n Roll Circus version. @@bluebird3281

[@frankyrubful]

Yes the long version for sure!

[@Roboto2073]

Hopefully you get to "She's a Rainbow" by the Rolling Stones. No pressure, but it's one of my favorite songs ever. Very different, but a great song.

[@lena-mariaglouis-charles7036]

👍💕🌈

[@Jude_196]

AWESOME TUNE!!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

Higgin's ringtone for his wife 😃

[@papercup2517]

One of my favourites too. Love all these Stones songs that show the Brian Jones influence.

[@jerrycunningham1820]

20000 light years from home 😊.

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

My favourite era for the Stones... 1965-67... they weren't locked into a single style and were full of surprises

[@papercup2517]

The Brian Jones effect!

[@alanarakelian5021]

The great multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones on the recorder, which makes this song. The Rolling Stones were never the same without him.

[@justmoose6534]

The Restaurant was named after this. "Jumpin Jack Flash" "Honky Tonk Woman" "Tumbling Dice" "Bitch" "19th Nervous Breakdown" "It's Only Rock and Roll" ...

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

...but I like it!!!!

[@gkiferonhs]

Artists weren't controlled by marketers and engineers like they are today. But part of the greatness of both the Beatles and the Stones was the fecundity of their musical minds; lots of variety and innovation. Each album was a new journey.

[@TheMikeman1971]

“Ruby Tuesday” was actually about Richards's one-time girlfriend, Linda Keith, who had left him for another superstar rocker and sent him into an emotional tailspin. In Life, his autobiography, he says, “Basically, Linda [Keith] is 'Ruby Tuesday.

[@johnsilva9139]

Yes! Coincidently I'm in the middle of reading his autobiography which came out 12 years ago. It was Linda who discovered Jimi Hendrix in New York, telling Chas Chandler, who then brought him to England. Supposedly she gave him a copy of "Hey Joe" recorded by Tim Rose and that was how he learned it. The record was owned by Keith Richards.

[@visaman]

​@@johnsilva9139I thought Heshe discovered Jimmy Hendrix 😊

[@RG-At-Large]

If you like the slower side of the Rolling Stones, check out "Wild Horses" and "Angie"

[@visaman]

No, the Osmonds version of Wild Horses. 😂

[@kevinmorrell4155]

Absolutely! Two amazing songs. Definitely check out ‘ANGIE’ 👏

[@chrisjamieson3452]

One of the best of their early songs, for certain. A Stones classic.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

agreed! ♥

[@garybradford8332]

I think their most recognizable riff comes from "(I can't get no) Satisfaction". I only saw them live once, in the No Security tour in 1999. I was shocked by the 2 1/2 hour nonstop energy they had. I thought I was in great shape but I couldn't do what these guys, a full decade older than me, were doing. Fantastic show.

[@ProfessorMystery77]

You guys are gonna love their late 70’s/early 80’s stuff like Miss You, Beast of Burden, Emotional Rescue, and Start Me Up. Basically everything they released during that time were instant classics.

[@stephenhuber1219]

Angie, Wild Horses, As Tears Go By, Under My Thumb & Far Away Eyes

[@sjfvet519us]

Brian Jones, founder of The Rolling Stones, was the one who introduced exotic instruments into the music, i.e. sitar, recorder, marimba, etc. My favorites with Brian are "Little Miss Amanda Jones", "Mother's Little Helper", and "Let's Spend the Night Together". Brian Jones also produced an album of Moroccan folk music called "The Pipes of Pan at Djoujouka".

[@allengray5748]

GROOVY!! Can't keep track of what I said where so The Rolling Stones even as legends to me still underrated for the lyrics. WILD HORSES and ANGIE both mellow but GREAT songs! Great Channel! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@boscobeans]

Having seen them twice live I feel so lucky to have been at performances by the GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD. I have 60 years of listening to bands playing in venues like the 5 buck Fillmore East to screaming crowds of 100 thousand plus. They have no equal.

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

Agreed: Greatest Rock and Roll band. Greatest Rock band: a three way tie (or a discussion) between The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Queen. Greatest Band: The Beatles

[@scottlbroco]

You are correct, boscobeans!

[@gregrodriguez5697]

They are,in my opinion,the greatest rock and roll band!

[@correctlyrics]

Rock n Roll? I wouldn't disagree. Would you give best rock band to Zep?

[@gregrodriguez5697]

I am one of the few people I know that doesn't really like Zeppelin.

[@correctlyrics]

@@gregrodriguez5697 aw, that's too bad. But, I think liking the Stones and not Zep really shows your musical taste. I don't mean that in a bad way at all.

[@gregrodriguez5697]

I don't think you meant it in a bad way. We all have different tastes. I prefer The Doors,Grand Funk Railroad,Emerson lake and Palmer...Black Sabbath,Pink Floyd etc..

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

​@@correctlyricsfor me Stones greatest rock and roll band Greatest rock band one of The Who, Led Zeppelin, or Queen Greatest Band: The Beatles I could go into other categories which would bring in some American bands too but let's keep this one on the brilliant Rolling Stones!

[@Pton_reaction_addict]

Other songs of theirs to check out: Get off of my cloud, you can't always get what you want, mother's little helper, shattered, beast of burden. They have a huge catalog. Enjoy your journey from them you 2. Great review. Thanks again Phil and Sam.

[@ecnoto]

All these are great!

[@SCVIndy]

Was in high school in the 60s .. got to hear all these Stones songs since their were played repeatedly on AM radio .. amazing they are still a band!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Another great reaction, this is a great song, similar in sound to, "She's a Rainbow" by them and released in the same year. This track was released in '67 as a double 'A' Side with "Let's Spend The Night Together", some radio stations in the U.K. wouldn't play the other side as it has sexual overtones so, "Ruby Tuesday" got more airplay. The string section was two Double Bass' Keith Richards doing the bowing and Bill Wyman fingering, the alto recorder was played by Brian Jones. I hope that this helps.

[@richardromney9205]

oh canada. we love you just the same. the only borders exist in our shared desire of music? great review of our britt brothers.

[@jimmymcintyre7944]

One of my favorite early Stones.

[@mamamac70]

This song always makes me think of my dad. He loved the Rolling Stones and I remember this one being played a lot.

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

I just remember, when I was in college in greater LA , driving the freeways, and this song was on AM Hit radio constantly. Huge hit for t(em.

[@davescurry69]

Nice reaction guys. This was the Stones during their most creative and experimental era. Inbetween their blues beginnings and their subsequent return to the basics which reset their default setting to their now trademark style rock and roll. The Stones of 1966-67 were something else entirely.

[@m06een00]

It was a recorder played by Brian Jones, who is thought to have composed the melody, one of his rare compositions with the Stones. Keith Richards wrote the words and bowed the double bass on this. It was also the first ballad single release by the Stones who took a risk, as it was at the time an atypical song for them. Playing safe they released RT as part of a double 'A' side, with the up-tempo 'Let's Spend The Nigh Together, which was a more familiar Stones sound.

[@mikefixx7177]

One of my favorites early Stone's song is Dandelion.Great song

[@philjan2]

This was also a classic for Melanie who passed recently. Brilliant rendition

[@machoward6443]

and a much better version. Occasionally there's a cover that improves considerably on the original and Melanie does that with Ruby Tuesday.

[@nathancheek1234]

Satisfaction and Honky Tonk Women are some must listens for The Rolling Stones. Glad you guys liked this one it’s one of my favorites from them and has a sort of spring vibe to it

[@MikeWalsh-f1g]

I love Get Off of My Cloud, and I promise you both will too!

[@donaldinnewmexico]

I had just turned 13 when this song first came out. This was my first Stones song. What a time to be young.

[@cyclops60]

Nice reaction continental Americans ;-) This was one of the first Stones songs I heard along with '19th nervous breakdown', courtesy of my big sister. It does have that Beatles feel and is a nice contrast to their guitar based sound. So many great songs for you to experience - a few from the mid 60's - '(I can't get no) Satisfaction', 'Get off my cloud', 'As tears go by', 'mother's little helper', 'Let's spend the night together'. Cheers from the Isles of Britain!

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

“Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” has to be next !!! 🎸❤️🔥🙏🏻

[@williamredding4448]

I wish I could take you back in time with me to see what it was like. I don't just feel nostalgic. I often literally weep at how much I miss those days.

[@xmathmanx]

You are nostalgic, that's what it is

[@splitimage137.]

It's 1967, and I'm 5 years old, and I've just absconded with a 45RPM single by Dion and the Belmonts from my mom's record collection, and I scurry across the street to Karen's house (she is my age) who has an older brother who lived upstairs in a small attic, swallowed swords (I saw this with my own eyes), and had an extensive record collection. He seemed to like me, so, in trade for that Dion record, I could choose ANY of his 45s... and when I heard RUBY TUESDAY, I thought I was in heaven... and that was my VERY first record acquisition that didn't have anyone else involved. And it was the best record trade of my life.

[@Jessica_Roth]

The Stones' psychadelic period didn't last as long as the Beatles' did (this isn't "I am the Walrus"), but I completely love this one. Melancholy without the overwhelming depression of "Paint It, Black" and the "lose your dreams and you will lose you mind" lyric always hits so hard. More in this vein would include "She's A Rainbow" and "2000 Light Years from Home". If you the group more brutally cynical, you could go back to "Mother's Little Helper", or you could keep going to some of the "Let It Bleed" era stuff, such as "Can't You Hear Me Knockin?" or "Monkey Man". And that's just staying in the 1960s; there's an entire palette of 1970s Stones ahead.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

shoulda dropped this tomorrow 😉 One of the best & personal faves of the Stones! ♥

[@jonfazzone5125]

70’s Classic Rock Just Hits Different Doesn’t It 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

Love this song! You could spend a lot of time going through the 60s music of The Rolling Stones. So many excellent hit songs! "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Time Is On My Side", "Heart of Stone", "Get Off Of My Cloud", "19th Nervous Breakdown", and so many more! I saw the Stones in 1972. The opening act was Stevie Wonder. Talk about "Big Time" it was amazing!

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

Rolling Stones are English like so many great bands. Rock N’ Roll is universal,

[@nancymjohnson]

One of their best songs.

[@eriksundling5653]

There are so many must listens with the Stones. Under my thumb, Beast of burden, Dead flowers, She’s a rainbow, You can’t always get what you want, Wild horses, Brown sugar, Honkey tonk women, Satisfaction… all of them in a span of less then 10 years but going through very different sounds.

[@LordEagle]

The Stones are fantastic,,,,,top 3. 💥💥💥👍😎

[@dvsreed]

My favorite Stones song is Angie. It's the first song I learned to play on guitar

[@stevedahlberg8680]

That Kaleidoscope moment killed me. 😅

[@zappa1952]

I cant just "like" the "Cant you hear me knocking" suggestion. I must repeat it!!!

[@dougsusie2319]

One of my top three Stones songs if not my favorite. I remember buying the single. It was 1967 and I turned 10 that year. I'll always remember that because that same year The Beatles released their "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" Lp and I bought that one too. That was a great year for music and I bought a lot of records that year, or I should say my parents bought a lot of records for me. I was 10, I didn't have a lot of disposable cash lying around at that age. Peace ❤❤

[@beckiramsey9561]

All of their music is great!!❤❤

[@frankyrubful]

Yes it is a recorder played by Brian Jones who was able to pick up practically any instrument and play it, adding much colour to a lot of their songs of the 60s. He also played the sitar in Paint it Black.

[@CarrierPlumbing]

Yes, they have so many good songs. I agree with some other comments, Wild Horses, Beast Of Burden, Angie & Emotional Rescue (amongst some others) are at the top of the list.

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Founding member and multi-instrumental Brian Jones makes this song with his beautiful, airy recorder playing. Brian, who died in 1969, was such a critical piece of the early Stones' success. There was almost no instrument he couldn't play.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

According to many, including Marianne Faithfull, Brian developed the melody for “Ruby Tuesday” months before the song was fully conceived. This was likely a Jones/Richards composition.

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Yes. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@imaginemoore5912]

Listen to "honkytonk woman" and "cant always get what you want" Great songs to go deeper on your journey

[@CoolCoyote]

oh yeah from down under here and NO im not an australian lol I'm a kiwi and yes i thought you maybe americans but no you're candians which is north americans , to the song, its always been 1 of my favourite rolling stones songs, an underrated gem that ages well with deep meaning. at first you are not that impressed with this song, but over time it is clearly one of the best 'b' side songs ever. this was almost a throw away song originally by them. btw the lyric is actually '"Cash your dreams before they slip away. "There's no time to lose", I hear her say Cash your dreams before they slip away Dying all the time lose your dreams and you Will lose your mind, ain't life unkind?

[@lorrainemiller688]

Oh yes, I remember many Ruby's! It was a time when our very rigid Western culture was attempting to embrace Eastern philosophies... It was an arduous time of learning to release, just about everything! Great tune!!! ✌

[@mikemiller3069]

One of my favorite Stones' songs is "Far Away Eyes". It has a country sound and style with a little humor tossed in.

[@christianmattison6096]

Canadian or American. I love you guys. By the way I agree, with you in the issue. And as an American, I love the pride you show as Canadians. I grew up a days drive from your wonderful land and still do. So glad you guys are our neighbors. Wouldn 't want anyone else sharing our mutual border! :)

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Nice video and reaction.

[@827dusty]

This is from the very early Stones music catalogue, around 1964, I think. This is one of my favorite Stones songs. A young 19-year-old Mick Jagger sang this on the Ed Sullivan show 60 years ago. Thanks for some classic, vintage Rock and Roll.

[@johnniekight1879]

The # 1 song 57 years ago today. It was originally the "B" side to "Let's Spend The Night Together" but radio stations wouldn't play it as it was about two unmarried people. My how times have changed. Even on The Ed Sullivan Show they had to sing it as Let's spend some time together. LOL Brian Jones on recorder and Bill Wyman on cello.

[@johnsilva9139]

Wow! Didn't know about Wyman on the cello.

[@ericanderson8886]

love the Brian Jones era of the Stone, very psychedelic times.

[@airmark02]

Pure Creativity

[@patticampana9458]

The original Wild Horses was my favorite.

[@jeffwatts1126]

The Middle Eastern flair in Paint It Black was a sitar. And yes, this was a recorder. In that era there were a lot of lesser used instruments throught their music, and that was all Brian Jones. Brian started the band, named the band, and all those instruments stopped appeaing in their music for the most part when he died

[@jameslapham4326]

I've always liked this song. That low sound is a double-bass played jointly by Bill Wyman and Keith Richards. Also check out 'She Comes in Colors'.

[@SB-ut1wz]

Try Waiting on a Friend. A little different rhythm, very good.

[@JimFlickinger]

Throw in"Wild Horses " as a must listen, too!

[@gordonrussell7137]

"Honkytonk Woman" has a new video. Love it!

[@Micknkeithable]

The restaurant is named after this song. The founder was a HUGE Stones fan

[@axiomist4488]

It is a recorder, played by Brian Jones, who died in 1969 . The "cello" sound is actually Keith Richards on double bass (standup bass) with a bow . On the chorus, the double bass stops and Bill Wyman (or maybe Keith) plays the electric bass, then it returns to the double bass for the next verse .

[@paulr.3220]

Phil and Sam have excellent voices for radio. Fortunately for us they are good looking too. Mon famil est de Canada ausi. Guess which part.

[@gkiferonhs]

The wind instrument you were talking about was an alto recorder. The double bass on this was played by two artists - bassist Bill Wyman did the fingering while Keith Richards did the bow work.

[@StuartBearden]

Shattered is another great

[@arjaylee]

Saw Mick in an interview state that Keith usually wrote the ballads and the pretty songs

[@RickTBL]

Check out Lady Jane. It's Elizabethan.

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

Early Stones: “The Last Time”, “Play With Fire”, their breakout hit “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction & a ballad “As Tears Go By”. All these songs predate “Paint It Black” & “Ruby Tuesday”.

[@Eowyn187]

"The Girl with the Far Away Eyes" ❤

[@damonhines8187]

If you look up their performance of this on Ed Sullivan, I believe it is, Keith is playing piano, Bill Wyman is playing double -stand-up - bass with a bow, and Brian Jones is playing recorder. Brian retains a reputation for having been able to pick up any instrument and wrest music from it in short order. I think you did 'Paint It Black', where he played sitar.

[@gman7495]

"One Hit to the Body" is one of my favorite Stones songs... a total killer rocker. Came out in, I think, 1989. Video is ultra cool too.

[@ru2yaz33]

dude, you have the absolute best Radio voice; assume you've been a DJ for years. you guys are playing great music; I'm old enough to remember all of these the first time around!! This is definitely the quintessential "British Invasion" RS song, which is not their usual thing.

[@bookhouseboy280]

Aside from this, the Flowers album also has the classic hits "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadow?", "Let's Spend the Night Together", "Lady Jane", and "Mother's Little Helper." Then there's the deep cut gems "Out of Time" and "BackStreet Girl." Now that's whaI I call a GREAT album!

[@LarryNeie-lj7zc]

Flowers one of my personal favorite Stones albums. Thought it was an underappreciated work of musical art. I still have the original album in my collection.

[@billn7183]

Great reaction, I would like to add my votes for Angie and Wild Horses

[@RDRussell2]

"Ruby Tuesday" is an example of "Baroque pop," a blend of rock with classical elements tossed in. Think: The Beatles "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yesterday" as other examples. (Speaking of The Beatles, be sure to learn what a kaleidoscope is before ever listening to their song, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." You don't want to be thinking of a colonoscopy when that particular word comes into play.) What song to listen to next by The Rolling Stones comes down to what kind of mood you're after. "Honky Tonk Women" is, well, a honky tonk kinda song. Ballad? Try "Angie" or "Wild Horses." Rock that will lift you out of your chair? "Jumping Jack Flash" or "Start Me Up." Disco? "Miss You." (Yes, disco.) Proto-punk? "Shattered." Something elegiac? "Moonlight Mile." Straight blues? "Love in Vain." A country-rock song that's THE perfect kiss-off? "Dead Flowers." Their albums from 1968-1972 are all essential masterpieces, so you really can't go wrong with any song from that era.

[@philiphoward1731]

Bill Wyman is playing the bass fiddle on this song and Brian Jones is playing a recorder and they have a video of them playing this song live at Sullivan. You can see it on KZbin.

[@mikerasmusson8749]

Brian Jones (RIP) on recorder he also played Sitar on Paint it Black.

[@Zentrix-24]

Love the psychedelic video and the song brings back memories of that time in my life, flower power times! You notice the instruments on this song are much different than their standard band sound. Reminds me a bit of their album " Their Satanic Majesties Request" 1967, the same year Ruby Tuesday was released. The Beatles Sgt. Peppers album was very influential for many songs from the stones. Mick Jagger spent alot of time with the Beatles!

[@RandoReport]

Memory Motel, from 1976. Mick and Keith share vocals.

[@dewman0269]

I'm so glad that you guys reacted to this song...I remember when it came out and I was immediately hooked...it indeed does have the quintessential 1960's sound of that time...I'm 67 years old and I miss the '60's and the wonderful music of that era...When you said you heard them playing a recorder I got a chuckle from that because I played that instrument in grade school but we called it a flutophone back then... I had forgotten all about that until you mentioned it... Another great reaction again as usual guys...The Stones put out so much great music and they're still going strong... It's hard to imagine that Mick Jagger is the same age as Joe Biden...lol... Have a good one guys, and as always... Keep Being Awesome !!!...

[@Eowyn187]

Jagger is simply badass. I can easily listen to only him and Steven Tyler for days on end. That's serious jam. Esp the "Some Girls" album. They're both fantastic showmen too!! And love seeing y'all both getting into them so much. Them and Kansas actually. Respect 🥂

[@Kuliden]

Lucy in the sky with diamonds-the girl with kaleidoscope eyes

[@rudolfg.7041]

Als der Song raus kam war er mein absoluter Lieblingssong. When the song came out it was my absolute favorite song.

[@Edam-Channel]

Recorder turns up in a lot of songs, especially if people are after a medieval sound, but it often gets mistaken for flute. Another famous recorder example is the introduction to Stairway to Heaven.

[@BradJames878]

One thing about the Stones, it really helps to have the lyrics on the screen. I grew up with the Stones music playing, and there were so many lyrics I didn't know because Mick's voice is so fuzzy and hard to understand. It doesn't help that I was hearing the songs through a transistor radio, or a fuzzy tube radio in the living room, but still, Mick's lyrics can be hard to understand, period.

[@SCVIndy]

Suggest their ballad Angie .. exceptional

[@jimreedy1960]

The Stones have a wide range of music in their catalog, Most of the songs you have listened to are fairly fast paced. But the Stones also have a softer side. Check out Angie and Wild Horses. Mick's vocals are really amazing. And you just have to listen to You Can't Always Get What You Want. What is amazing to me is that a couple of kids in their 20s wrote these incredible songs. The use of orchestral instruments and choirs just shows you hw inventive they were.
