- Hello all, in honor of it being almost the 54th anniversary of the release of Let It Bleed, I've created an instrumental of one of the many classic songs on the album, Midnight Rambler. Despite it becoming a live staple, the studio version is just as amazing, at least in my opinion. After some time in Audition, I think it has come out well.
Personnel:
Background vocals, harmonica - Mick Jagger
Guitars - Keith Richards
Bass - Bill Wyman
Drums - Charlie Watts
Percussion - Brian Jones (Congas or Moroccan drums?)
"I believe things like Midnight Rambler come through better live, because we've extended it more. Sometimes when you record something you go off half-cocked because maybe you haven't ever played it live. You've just written it and you record it. From then on you take it and keep on playing it and it gets different. I remember I was into 12-string bottlenecks then." - Keith Richards, 1971
Love the “hit and run rapist in anger.” This studio version has some great pieces that aren’t repeated live:
. The 12-string slide guitar.
. The sparse, subtle & controlled breakdown & 4:20.
. Harmonica while Mick is singing.
Both live n studio versions are amazing.
Love seeing Brian Jones on here. YES !
Just listened to this again, particularly the harmonica. Mick is so underrated in this regard, not to mention colossal lungs. 7 minutes constant playing!
Saw them play this for the first time at Hyde Park. Hell's Angels trying to look cool and tough. Never heard before as the album was released months later. At the breakdown , Mick took off his huge studded leather belt and smacked the stage right in front of their faces at the emphasis points; that showed them who the boss guy really was. (Oh how they coveted that belt then!). That was the transition of the song in my opinion - from a very well crafted studio blues into a live bomb that they took on the road shortly after. This song IS the Roiling Stones' essence - strutting, in-your-face blues.
Ya, we’ve seen that on the readily available film, live at Hyde Park. Pretty cool!
the oh so handsome, cool and uber talented Brian - founder and Golden Stone
Badass tune still as good as the day they did this rock on STONES
This is one special groove. Keith dictating tempos and Charlie right with him. The slide parts are perfect and make so much tension
just speechless here lads
Grazie ♥️
Bravo.Thankyou.🌹
Always loved the studio version. Great with a set of headphones on. I always thought the live version in get your yar yars out was awesome, but the version on Ladies and gentlemen from 72 was better.
fantastic
Always loved the breakdown, and the build up.
Is that actually how they recorded the song, why doesn't Mick get a mic stand 😂
I doubt this actually the recording of MR, but it does look like Mick is playing a harmonica into a microphone here.
Brian was a free SPIRIT of Individuality, Mick Taylor was a Blues Brothers GUITAR VIRTUOLA, and Ron Wood is a fellow Rock n Roll raunchy REBEL. End of Discussion I think.
Any possibility that Brian is playing the slide here?
None. All the guitars are Keith. Brian only plays the conga drum which comes in with about 8 - 10 taps as the song starts up again after the breakdown.
Kinda like what happened with Dark Star...
This was on Let it Bleed, not Beggars Banquet?
You’re right, I was totally spaced out writing the description at night 😂
I think the first few attempts were for Beggars Banquet. You Can’t Always get what you Want was originally recorded for the Banquet session also I think. But I guess that’s the way it is for most of there tunes.
No worries, love hearing your breakdown of the Stone’s catalogue 😊
Compared to the live version on Yar Yars this version has always sounded inferior. Most annoying is Keith’s wimpy guitar in the breakdown. It is so lame. It always ruins the track for me. It has always sounded a bit lifeless to me. No live feel.
I agree it sounds better live but I’ll always be partial to the studio version, I personally think Mick’s harmonica makes the song.
@@Famulus9 yup 👍 it’s nice and haunting 👻🎃
