I'm late to the party , but , yeah , this was from 1972 . The MC5 had to be the only band on the planet playing "Empty Heart" in '72.There's a video of the whole performance on French TV , including this clip , as well as the"Thunder Express" CD and LP.

These guys weren't trying to be the Stones. The Stones could never be this raw and pure. The Stones have always been commercialized and fake. This kind of talent can never be achieved by bands like the Stones.
@chriscampbell91914 ай бұрын
@@alanna8983 Beg to differ on this. Check out the Stones 1964 version of this and compare it to whatever else was out there at the time. Raw and primal. They may have become commercialized and fake after the late 70's, but Exile On Main St, and many of the previous albums going back to 1964, they weren't.

To any out of towners or visitors looking for that live Detroit sound and music experience. Trot down to Woodward ave in Ferndale on a Friday or Saturday night and you'll find places like "Cosmos" and "The Majic bag" for a start, theres ten venues all featuring live and original music from Motown to Blues and Jazz to rip your face off Rock n Roll. Get there early cuz the streets are packed and parking is hard to find. If u like that rugged rock n roll atmosphere try the "NewWay" bar, definately a hole in the wall, wreaking of sweat and beer but also history, this is where many Detroit acts cut their musical teeth including acts like the 'Romantics'.There is still great music going on In and around Detroit and there always will be you just have to know where to look and go.
@yesticles7 жыл бұрын
I play in many of those venues and some in Hamtramck, as well. Playing at the New Dodge tonight! My band is called Cockhorse and we play fast and heavy Rock N Roll. I've been told we have a similar spirit to the 5 by folks who were around to experience it firsthand. Rock is alive and well here in Detroit!

The Stones' Empty Heart was recorded in June '64 and came out in August1964. I think I Can't Explain was December 1964. could have been some cross-pollination although the Stones recorded Empty Heart at Chess Studios in Chicago during an early tour (possibly their first in the US).

I think they wanted it...but John Sinclair was the reason they got popular and then the reason for their demise. The white panther party bs. The liner note on the album by Sinclair. I think they would have gained more fame w him. It may have taken a little longer to attain, but I think it would have endured a lot longer.
