You found a gem! A lot of casual Stones fans have never heard this, but some of us who think "Exile on Main Street" is one of the best recordings ever have to listen to this song and all the other great songs on this album regularly. This song has always been a favorite of mine! Good choice! For a great quick banger, try "Rip This Joint" from the same album.
Exile on Main Street is considered by many rock critics as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Unlike other popular albums, it didn't have a lot of hits outside of Tumbling Dice. But there are so many great songs on this album. This may be the most real rock n roll album in rock history. It's just down and dirty real mixing rock, blues, gospel, jazz, and country. My personal favorites are Loving Cup, Rocks Off, Happy, Sweet Virginia, Casino Boogie, and All Down the Line
That was Nicky Hopkins on piano. He played with the Stones often. Great song from a fantastic album. A few other Stones songs to check out: 2000 Light Years From Home, Jigsaw Puzzle, Lovin Cup, Soul Survivor and Rocks Off (yes, that's what it's about!). Also Moonlight Mile, Street Fighting Man... I can go on and on.
Mick Taylor got a writing credit here, which Jagger and Richards give VERY reluctantly! They were recording in the basement of Keith Richard’s’ rented house in the south of France and it was hot down there.
"Exile..." is a seminal work of art for the Stones, rock n roll, and music overall. It is massively successful representing a brilliant arc of development for the entire genre, particularly regarding the timeline in history. Having said that...this album is pure pleasure for the senses, pure indulgence, raw & primitive mixed with poetry. It's a supreme achievement.
Hallelujah! I have been requesting this one for years and finally someone reacted to it! This is one of, if not, my favorite Stones deep tracks. It has all the ingredients of the special sauce that makes the Stones what they are - the greatest rock and roll band ever!!
The Rolling Stones have only performed this track “live” once !!!! Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia on opening night of the 1972 North American Tour in support of “Exile On Main Street” #micktaylor
Thanks for keeping the Stones coming Biz. I feel you that the 70s may outdo the 60's as their best decade for production. The Rolling Stones Live have been equally amazing in many decades!
This as the whole album was recorded in basement of Neccolete France and at the bottom of the floor were vents shaped in the form of a swastika as the Germans had occupied it for a period in the early years of World War II and thus comes the title. DONT FIGHT IT. Made them wonder what kind of horrors. took place underneath that basement. DONT FIGHT IT.
For me it goes let it bleed, sticky fingers, exile, beggars banquet, some girls ,( b side ) metamorphosis, goats head, satanic majestic, between the buttons, black and blue, ect. - check it out. Give it a goog
There is a c.d called "paint it blue: songs of the rolling stones" that has some great blues artists doing some amazing version of stones songs. One of the standouts is Gatemouith Brown's version of Ventilator Blues but the whole album is fantastic. Luther Allison's version of "you can't Always Get What You Want" just burns. Check it out if you get a chance. As far as Stones deep cuts, you might try "Saint of Me" from Bridges to Babylon...rocking gospel!
Right on! Ventilator is way old school slang for a gun, and by way old school I mean the 1930's. The metaphor follows from the notion that a gun can fill somebody with holes through which the air can get out or in, providing ventilation, so to speak. The next song on the album, "I Just Wanna See His Face" will take you to church. There are still some Stones albums worthy of a full reaction and Exile On Main St. is one of them. But if you just want some singles, check out "Tumbling Dice", "All Down the Line", "Rocks Off", "Rip This Joint", "Let It Loose", "Stop Breaking Down", "Sweet Virginia", "Soul Survivor" ...
There are many slang terms for guns in America, some more widely used than others. Heaters was more popular. The lyrics mention a gun and gun makes more sense to me than a breathing machine. I could be wrong though. I poked around google a bit and found one reference to the usage, but it lacked supporting details. The OED lists several archaic meanings, from a bloviator to a breather to an air pump.
Biz, dive deeper into Exile, man. Doesn't matter what song, their all great. "Let It Loose", "Loving Cup" and "Shine A Light" are dead set classics that only Stones fans know about.
@@Gordy63Not sure it’s just the Mick Taylor years. I've always said the Stones hit their peak with Taylor, Jimmy Miller, Nicky Hopkins, and Mick and Keith hitting their apex as songwriters. Most people say 1968 to 1972, but I think it’s more 1966 to the 1973 European Tour, the latter representing the height of the Taylor years.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 It’s definitely not just Mick Taylor, but his addition in combination with all of the band hitting their strides as musicians, songwriters and performers. IMO they actually started to start their journey towards all time great rock and roll with the Beggar’s Banquet album, which still included Brian Jones. Who knows where they’d have gone if Brian hadn’t spiraled out of control with drugs and addiction - maybe to the same or even greater heights. But, when Mick Taylor joined this juggernaut there is simply no denying their place in rock and roll history was firmly established.

Exile is my favourite album. By anyone.
EOMS in MHO is the best Stones album.
@@egorock1632 agreed.
Greatest rock n roll album ever... period.
This song, I Just Wanna See His Face, and Let It Loose almost have to be listened to in succession. They lead into each other so well.
Seconded. Worth another take with Face included.

There was something really special about Rolling Stones in the 70s
Oh, man. You jumped into it with both feet here. Great job.
Yes, thanks

This is the album to review for Stones going to see them in Santa Clara CA. In 2 weeks can’t wait !

The garage band that can fill stadiums. Grunge before grunge.
Nicky Hopkins on keys, Bobby Keys on sax. What a song, what an album, what a band!
My favourite Stones record, Exile on Main Street!
Hallelujah! I have been requesting this one for years and finally someone reacted to it! This is one of, if not, my favorite Stones deep tracks. It has all the ingredients of the special sauce that makes the Stones what they are - the greatest rock and roll band ever!!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Love the stones one of my favorites especially the early stuff, thank you Biz
La primera rola del exile que me coloco al instante!!. Que riff tan hipnótico.
Love this double album, got it on vinyl. Great to see you back Biz. Keep on with the Stones, you can’t go wrong with them.
The Rolling Stones have only performed this track “live” once !!!!

Wow, Love this song and the whole album is amazing. Great reaction!
Can’t go wrong with the Stones!

No doubt!

DONT FIGHT IT. Made them wonder what kind of horrors. took place underneath that basement. DONT FIGHT IT.
My pick...."Loving Cup".
nice call Biz...the great Nicky Hopkins on piano...down in the dirt.
Tremendous album. Now I’m going to have to listen to it right now
Another suggestion “Mother’s Little Helper”
FYI - I just added this one to my playlist! Thanks!
This is my favorite on the album. ❤
Agree 70s is my favorite Some Girls is my ATF Stones all killer no filler
"The Rolling Stones"- "Fingerprint File" - audio
For me it goes let it bleed, sticky fingers, exile, beggars banquet, some girls ,( b side ) metamorphosis, goats head, satanic majestic, between the buttons, black and blue, ect. - check it out. Give it a goog

Never heard that a Ventilator was slang for a gun. In the thirties and after guns were called heaters but not ventilators?

Fire
💪
No body can do a song about addiction like the Glimmer Twins
☁
Exile… greatest rock n roll album ever.
HAND OF FATE
You should check Stop Breakin' Down from Exile on Main St. for more of that feel.
Funky Blues/rock.
If you want the Stones at their best I suggest live Stones for instance live at the max
Still great but yes 60s 70s and 80s

Anyone know what technique is used on Mick's vocal to double track it?

Review LET IT LOOSE from Exile on Main St
This entire album is raw, dirty and nasty. And that's a great thing. Biz, check out Sweet Virgina. The sax on that song is so filthy it needs a bath!
You'd probably really like this album.
Damn Biz, if you're going this deep, give Star Star or 100 Years Ago a reaction. You're welcome...
I will keep that in mind lol I plan on listening to every stones song
@@watchbizmatik good to hear
Biz, dive deeper into Exile, man. Doesn't matter what song, their all great. "Let It Loose", "Loving Cup" and "Shine A Light" are dead set classics that only Stones fans know about.
Mick Taylor🙏 I stopped listening to them after he left
Mick Taylor years are by far the best for the Stones. His cleaner playing style was the perfect complement to Keith’s more raw style of playing.
@@Gordy63Not sure it’s just the Mick Taylor years. I've always said the Stones hit their peak with Taylor, Jimmy Miller, Nicky Hopkins, and Mick and Keith hitting their apex as songwriters.

This song should be played to run into Just Wanns See His Face.
The two songs are purposely tied together
