@@williardbillmore5713 one of those guys that always has to dismiss Brian.... I guess some guys just can't stand the fact that there was more talent with Brian Jones than the other four combined. I didn't say that, the Kinks said that. They were there in the beginning. Jagger and Richards were wannabes... Vermin..... Human debris....
@@justthefactsmaam7351 The Ma'am had no facts... Jones had very little tallant and no creative abilities whatsoever. Everything he ever played was written by someone else and all he could do is copy someone else's creations. Jones was a total loser and a hanger on who got rich and famous on the tallants of Keith and Mick. Ray Davies didn't like Keith and Mick very much because they were eclipsing Ray and Dave's recording success. Every time they got a single on the charts the Stones would release a hit that would go straight to number one. Ray could be a vindictive person who would say things to the press just to get Mick's goat...that is when he wasn't fighting with his own brother. The history of the band tells the facts and after Brian left they got better and more famous and successful. If Jones had all the tallant, after 1970 they should have fallen flat and become lost to history... Use your head.

It stopped being Brian's band circa 1963 when, according to ian Stewart, the others learned Brian had arranged an extra £5 a week salary for himself. And by then Andrew Oldham realized mick and Keith could become his Lennon/McCartney.
@@MrTom-jo4ph So now we're further marginalizing his role in the band to that of something like Pete Best, he didn't really contribute or have any role as far back as 1963, despite being in a video from 1968, here? Pete Best did more for The Beatles than he did for the Stones, eh? The Glimmers did an astounding job of erasing him.
Brian tried to vitalize the instruments settings From AFTERMATH - Between the Buttons he did a lot of contributions of varieties Someone said that Brian went into the studio gripped a new instrument and came out on top finding the charm in the sound and added it.It didn't take him long. How it was filtered by reluctancy, I can only imagine. Seemed to be a killing amount of jealousy in the band - for the refinement - but also for the loss of talent. Someone the "same" said Brian was the genouine musician in the band. Sad to say Brian was superiour on harp than Mick. But I have nothing to say I am still trying to learn the chords to "Empty Heart" since 1964. I wasted quite many guitars, and neighbours ears. But my secret is I am hell of a bottle neck player.
This song was the last contribution Brian made to the stones. And to his credit, mick acknowledges brians slide makes the track. Nicky Hopkins piano dresses it up nicely too.
@@MrTom-jo4ph Actually Brian's contributions are on Let it Bleed in 1969. He plays autopharp on You Got the Silver and congas on Midnight Rambler. No Expectations was recorded in June 1968. Midnight Rambler was recorded in March 1969 and You Got the Silver was recorded in April 1969.
Brian's slide is magic. First slow then explosively distinct and like I repeated myself so many times the ultra thin difference in his tempo. I would have loved to hear him perform on "Stop breaking down" but with a little bit softer and sensitive slide than Micki Taylors. - not so noisy but more sensitive - maybe even accoustic.

What was it like in the mid sixties say 65/66 where Brian Jones was the leading figure I bet it was exhilarating hearing instruments like Dulcimers, Marimbas, Sitars etc
My love of Brian Jones' slide guitar started at age 14 in 1965, when I bought "The Rolling Stones, Now!" album and heard their version of Willie Dixon's "Little Red Rooster." When I played it for my friends at school they thought my vinyl record was warped.
That was you?! Yah... We all loved Brian, but then we didn't know him, just his music. I guess, that's all you needed to know, but, truth is, he was a complex, and difficult soul.
So, I looked at the comments. I never thought that there would be so many who still know and like Brian Jones. I see I'm not the only one That pleases me...
I also am happy to see all the Brian Jones comments here. His contributions to BEGGAR'S BANQUET, are to me what makes that particular record so freakin' magical. My personal opinion is that BEGGAR'S BANQUET is the absolute best album The Rolling Stones ever recorded. That LP just has a presence and a vibe that no other Stones album comes close to....with the possible exception of EXILE ON MAIN ST.
Sorry but there was not much contribution by him on this album. He wasn' t able to do work constantly. At least the slide guitar was his best effort. But I like BB very much, maybe my favorite Stones album.
@@lesterpaul9657 Well let's see...there's the sitar and tanpura on "STREET", then there is the aforementioned slide on "NO EXPECTATIONS", the mellotron on "JIGSAW" and "STRAY CAT", and harmonica throughout the record.
What made Beggars Banquet so great is THE SONGS ON THE ALBUM that WERE WRITTEN BY RICHARDS AND JAGGER. Jones actually contributed very little to it. By then Jones had quit playing guitar entirely . Every guitar track either slide or standard guitar were played by Keith Richards, With the exception of one slide guitar track on one song.
i agree, as good as some songs are on Exile, Let it Bleed, and Sticky Fingers; and even some Girls are.....it is Beggars Banquet as an "album" that IMHO is their best
Brian Jones played the slide guitar on all of the number, called No Expectations, and if that aint proof enough, i do not think you ever will acknowledge Brian for all the time he comes to mind, feeling we lost alot of good music 'Butbhe took it away from the world, withnhis tragic death.
@@danandersen813 That side part is easy to play. He didn't play any of the slide parts on Let It Bleed. Keith Richards copied the slide parts originally done by Ry Cooder. The slide parts Brian played on earlier records, of which there aren't too many are quite simple. Mick Taylor was a much better guitarist and slide player. Brian was quite musical and could play a lot of instruments, but he wasn't great on any of them. I suspect you've never heard of Ry Cooder -- HE is a GREAT slide player.
You will never find a pop star from the sixties who was as cool as Brian jones and there was plenty of competition as we all know.He is playing slide here and going back to his roots.Mr lewis brian hopkin jones thanks for your music thanks for the fashion and you will never be forgotten in my heart for being THE man who formed the stones.RIP my friend X
Mick always said that Brian's gorgeous slide guitar on No Expectations off Begger's Banquet was the last meaningful contribution from him, "really quite lovely".
Brian did get shafted when it came to getting credit for his contributions (like a writing credit for part of the music of Ruby Tuesday), but he was also his own worst enemy. But his loss turned into quite a gain- Mick Taylor was a major reason for the Stones' greatest period
@@markb20 Their greatest period meaning....? Brian is on 7 of 10 songs on Beggar's Banquet. Mick Taylor wasn't even in the band at that point. Mick Taylor and Brian Jones each appear on only TWO songs each on Let it Bleed, so Mick Taylor nor Brian didn't substantially contribute to Let It Bleed. The only three albums which Mick Taylor contributed fully to were Sticky Fingers (even then, he doesn't play on Brown Sugar or Sister Morphine), Exile (first half many of his parts were wiped by Keith) and Goat's Head Soup. On It's Only Rock N' Roll he appears on 7 of the 10 songs because he missed the first round of sessions.
@@Bklyn93 I can't win. I give Brian credit at the start and get ripped by a Mick Taylor fan. Then I try to amend it a bit for Mick, and vice versa. I love both of them; Brian was so important to the Stones through the '60s, and Mick and Keith never gave him enough credit for his input. His big drawback (besides the drugs later on) was he was not a writer. Once Brian wore out his welcome, Mick Taylor added a whole new layer to the Stones with his outstanding guitar playing, cited by everyone from rock critics to Mick and Keith themselves. Can we just agree the greatest period of the Stones is Begger's Banquet to Exile- 1968 to 1972?
Brian Jones sat there doing what he does best, playing the saddest notes on his slide guitar, the band he created all around him, i think he knows its the end here.
According to his Swedish girlfriend he was filled with optimism and hope after finaly quitting the band. On a tour to Australia several years before, he disappeared from the beach swimming one mile out to the sea and the boys by the shore preparred with laments, until he returned back again. He had the amount of three pints of beers from "heavy drinking" when he during less than 10 minutes, "drowned in his swimmingpool" Does it make sense?
@@thomasandersen2764 It's always been a mystery how he died, i am sure there is more too it, it has been claimed he was murdered, the case has been locked away for 100 years, why? if it was accidental
If he drowned in the pool how come there was freshwater in his lungs? They found no chlorine in the water that he swallowed. There was a water trough not far from the pool. I believe he was drowned there and then thrown in the pool. Rest in peace Brian, your music will live on forever!
Now brian is with Charlie in heaven.....I was 9 years old when this was done...all my growing up the stones were one of my favorites.......Now I listen to Time waits for no one...its life...enjoy it...
So heartbreaking. But very poetic. Brian Jones was a blues purest. He called himself Elmo James before the Stones. His slide guitar work was always impeccable.
@williard billmore lots of the old bluesmen were a bit sloppy and scratchy. Those are the ones Brian drew from. Now Ry Cooder is on a whole other level for sure.
@@vxxen7 That was an exceptionally stupid thing for you to say... and what is the band I have been listening to and enjoying for the last 54 years, deluded fanboy? Hundreds of millions of dedicated fans all over the world for more that half a century have been flocking to ROLLING STONES concerts without a Brian Jones... Ha ha ha ha ha ha I would say they have the "final " say about who cares.
Jones' slide guitar was always awkward and artless. He could go through the motions and play the notes he memorized... but he never really felt the music.
Brian was replaced in the lineup by Mick Taylor, but Mr Jones was irreplaceable despite what a great musician stepped in after Brian's death. Mick Taylor's playing on the albums that Jimmy Miller produced for the Stones back then is still first rate.
Mrs. Perkins you MUST watch the Rock n Roll Circus concert film from Dec of '68! It features several mind blowing performances from the Stones,an all star jam w/ Lennon,Richards,Clapton&Mitchell and the Who's best live song "a quick one while he's away"
Brian Jones sounds damn amazing with his musical talent. This is a time when it was just sounding absolutely amazing. Keith and Bill are playing awesome. Charlie is playing on point.How I wish that Brian was still around. I could only imagine what kind of music 🎶 🎵 he would be playing now.
@@burno55_ It does sound nice but no expectations is probably the easiest piece he ever played in the band. I was 15 when Beggars Banquet was released and I had been playing guitar for not quite two years. A friend had told me that slide guitar is just tuning to an E chord and sliding a glass pill bottle with your finger in it. I put on the album and tried playing along with it. Within a half hour I had the part down exactly. It really is only about 30 second of playing three chords with the melody picked out of the chords and repeating the exact same thing over and over. Everyone I knew thought that slide guitar was really difficult to do and that it was some kind of pinnacle of guitar mastery. I impressed them all by playing along with the track sounding just like Brian Jones the day after my cousin bought the record. I secretly was always amazed at how incredibly easy it was to play compared to some of the complex stuff Keith did so effortlessly ..
@@burno55_ Brian was very good at standing on the shoulders of giants in his band and then saying Oh Look how very tall I am! The melody he plays within the accompaniment is note for note the same melody the Mick sings throughout as written by Keith and Mick together. The slide accompaniment is structured by sliding up to the three chords in the progression as written by Keith when the song was composed. Jones"came up with" nothing... What he did in that song was to combine part A with part B and play it along with the singer and rhythm guitar without rhythmic variation or harmony. What you have just said is Oh listen to that guy copy others...isn't he artful and cleaver to choose good parts to copy for him to play. There is nothing wrong with it as an accompaniment but it shows neither talent nor creativity on his part.
These comments show that Brian Jones fans fall into 2 categories: 1) those who think he was a musical genius and 2) those who think he was a journeyman. At any rate he started the band and was critical to their early sound. Ronnie Wood is excellent but not in the same stratosphere. Too bad Mick Taylor didn’t stick around after Let it Bleed, he was great.
It's wonderful to see Brian playing beautiful slide guitar. Pete Townshend said that everyone knew this would be Brian's last live performance with the Stones....and it's almost as if Brian knew his time was soon to be over when watching this footage. When the Stones were formed, it was Brian more than anyone else who believed the band could 'take over the world'. Sadly, as his dream started to become a reality Brian became more detached from the band...heartbreaking.
@@TheaterPup No. Not really. I feel I am keeping all you Jones worshipers in touch with reality without any aid . There are many who completely agree with my accurate assessments of Jones' lack of any creative talents. True fans of the Rolling Stones know that the geniuses in the Rolling Stones are still very much alive.
@williard billmore not true. Charlie & Bill liked Brian and attended his funeral. The jealous prima donnas Jagger & Richards didn't and hated that the public adored Brian so much.. but without Jones there wouldn't be any rolling stones. The guy was a multi-instramentalist. Looked the part, and formed the band you worship. Let him RIP and stop hating on the man. It's petty & small.
They all consumed incredible quantities of drugs, including heavy ones like heroin, Keith has uncanny, even super human survival qualities, Brian did not and couldn’t handle it. he became sloppy and unreliable while the rest of the band became more consistent and professional. They were forced to show him the door, and it let to his early demise. Charlie lived to a ripe old age and it looks as though Keith and Mick, unlikely as it may appear, will too
Que diferentes y grandiosos se oían los Rolling Stones con Brian Jones en sus filas; esos eran los verdaderos y geniales Rolling Stones; que sonido tan mágico. Puro músico genial, talentoso y carismático. Sin Brian Jones, cambió el sonido y estilo de los Rolling Stones y aunque siguieron triunfando, no se compara con la magia que tenían cuando estaba el gran Brian Jones.
@@sexdrugsandrockroll6029 Totalmente cierto. En la época con Brian Jones, lo mismo que los Beatles, tenían mágia en su sonido, mágia que nos cautivaba y nos transportaba a otra dimensión; los veíamos como dioses. Posteriormente, ya sin Brian Jones, siguieron siendo excelentes, famosos y grandiosos pero ya sin ese algo especial que tenían, se perdió la magia y el encanto que tuvieron en sus primeras épocas. En ese sonido de mágia tuvo mucho que ver Brian Jones; él con su talento, visiòn y conocimientos musicales, así como con sus aportaciones en la inclusión y ejecución de diversos instrumentos musicales, contribuyó a darle a ese grupo el status de leyenda y de genios musicales.
Another so underrated song...How can they guys write so many tremendous songs....they must have 400 + songs..can always put u in good mode..just fantastic...
Another masterful composition by the genius team of Jagger and Richards. This beautiful piece sits right up there with Wild Horses. Nicky Hopkins sparse and tasteful piano accompaniment is just perfect to augment the lyrics emotional resignation to loneliness and despair. Nicky never seems to get the credit he so richly deserved. He was more of a Rolling Stone than some of the Rolling Stones were.

It was apparent Brian was heavy into drugs during this period, and yet he plays this so beautifully, as if his spirit knew it would be his last performance with the band, and ended it with the way he started it-the blues. His contributions dwindled his last couple years with the Stones, but here he is totally into the soul of the song. Mick might as well of been singing from Brian’s point of view. I never get tired of this song.
Absolutely not Brian's song! This hauntingly beautiful song was written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger BY THEMSELVES. It was presented to Jones and he played a slide guitar accompaniment using Richards chord progression and melody. Brian had no songs whatsoever ...He couldn't write at all.
@@Bklyn93 They just wanted to tour and sadly, Brian couldn't keep up that schedule. For one night he could be the best Brain Jones. Kind of like Amy Winehouse.
@@Bklyn93 Funny, that's the same time the Stones morphed from a legit working band into a travelling oldies jukebox. Bill made the right decision to leave when he did.
“He picked up this Elmore James guitar thing which really knocked me out when I first heard him play it, because I'd never heard anyone play it live before - I'd only heard it on records. And it was really good.” Mick Jagger
Keep waiting, jerk. No one ever said that Jones was unplugged for this performance. Jones WAS unplugged during many recording sessions where when he bothered to show up, he was so drunk, high and tripping that he was 100% useless. This performance was very rare exception.
He apparently sobered up for his farewell performance.Still he couldn't recreate his studio performance on the recorder on Ruby Tuesday. He was unplugged in the studio where he was so high Jones was less than useless.
He came up with that beautiful slide riff... mick said it was his last contribution.. watch crossfire hurricane doc it in depth explains the situation with Brian
“I engineered the Stones recording of the Beggars Banquet album, with Jimmy Miller producing. I always felt that Brian was the most innovative musician and the real heart and soul of the band.” Eddie Kramer
Take me to the station And put me on a train I've got no expectations To pass through here again Once I was a rich man and Now I am so poor But never in my sweet short life Have I felt like this before Your heart is like a diamond You throw your pearls at swine And as I watch you leavin' me You pack my peace of mind 🌹🌹 Our love was like the water That splashes on a stone Our love is like our music It's here, and then it's gone So take me to the airport And put me on a plane I got no expectations To pass through here again

Brian Jones played the slide guitar on all of the number, called No Expectations, and if that aint proof enough, i do not think you ever will acknowledge Brian for all the time he comes to mind, feeling we lost alot of good music 'Butbhe took it away from the world, withnhis tragic death.
And *the* fashion icon of the 1960s.
@Sam Smith too good to be true..
@@danandersen813 That side part is easy to play. He didn't play any of the slide parts on Let It Bleed. Keith Richards copied the slide parts originally done by Ry Cooder. The slide parts Brian played on earlier records, of which there aren't too many are quite simple. Mick Taylor was a much better guitarist and slide player. Brian was quite musical and could play a lot of instruments, but he wasn't great on any of them. I suspect you've never heard of Ry Cooder -- HE is a GREAT slide player.
You will never find a pop star from the sixties who was as cool as Brian jones and there was plenty of competition as we all know.He is playing slide here and going back to his roots.Mr lewis brian hopkin jones thanks for your music thanks for the fashion and you will never be forgotten in my heart for being THE man who formed the stones.RIP my friend X
How 'bout Lou Reed. Pretty well does whatever he wants.
Mick always said that Brian's gorgeous slide guitar on No Expectations off Begger's Banquet was the last meaningful contribution from him, "really quite lovely".
I saw that interview with Mick as well and it makes me appreciate this song all the more.
@@Government_of_laws They could've treated Brian better , definitely , but they didn't ruin the Stones. Mick Taylor era of the Stones was great
Brian did get shafted when it came to getting credit for his contributions (like a writing credit for part of the music of Ruby Tuesday), but he was also his own worst enemy. But his loss turned into quite a gain- Mick Taylor was a major reason for the Stones' greatest period
@@markb20 Their greatest period meaning....?
Brian is on 7 of 10 songs on Beggar's Banquet. Mick Taylor wasn't even in the band at that point.
Mick Taylor and Brian Jones each appear on only TWO songs each on Let it Bleed, so Mick Taylor nor Brian didn't substantially contribute to Let It Bleed.
The only three albums which Mick Taylor contributed fully to were Sticky Fingers (even then, he doesn't play on Brown Sugar or Sister Morphine), Exile (first half many of his parts were wiped by Keith) and Goat's Head Soup. On It's Only Rock N' Roll he appears on 7 of the 10 songs because he missed the first round of sessions.
@@Bklyn93 I can't win. I give Brian credit at the start and get ripped by a Mick Taylor fan. Then I try to amend it a bit for Mick, and vice versa.
I love both of them; Brian was so important to the Stones through the '60s, and Mick and Keith never gave him enough credit for his input. His big drawback (besides the drugs later on) was he was not a writer.
Once Brian wore out his welcome, Mick Taylor added a whole new layer to the Stones with his outstanding guitar playing, cited by everyone from rock critics to Mick and Keith themselves.
Can we just agree the greatest period of the Stones is Begger's Banquet to Exile- 1968 to 1972?
Man Brian’s slide playing is something else especially for a 60s rock band
Mick Jagger is the world's best frontman, but maybe a really underrated vocalist. Look at his heartful vocal performance here
Totally agree
I always liked Jagger's singing. It fit well with that band.
Beautiful slide Jones. Always been such a melancholy song, remembering him every time
Before the Stones he used the name’ Elmo Lewis’. True lol
Brian Jones sat there doing what he does best, playing the saddest notes on his slide guitar, the band he created all around him, i think he knows its the end here.
According to his Swedish girlfriend he was filled with optimism and hope after finaly quitting the band. On a tour to Australia several years before, he disappeared from the beach swimming one mile out to the sea and the boys by the shore preparred with laments, until he returned back again. He had the amount of three pints of beers from "heavy drinking" when he during less than 10 minutes, "drowned in his swimmingpool" Does it make sense?
@@thomasandersen2764 It's always been a mystery how he died, i am sure there is more too it, it has been claimed he was murdered, the case has been locked away for 100 years, why? if it was accidental
Frank Thorngood admitted on his deathbed he killed Brian in the pool. But Keith disputes that in his book.
If he drowned in the pool how come there was freshwater in his lungs? They found no chlorine in the water that he swallowed. There was a water trough not far from the pool. I believe he was drowned there and then thrown in the pool. Rest in peace Brian, your music will live on forever!
Brian pure genius 🎸
Brian was a useless drunk. He was purely useless.
What a band...52 years later and still rocking!!
The Stones transcend time.
There’s a reason he wrote a song called Time Is On My Side
@@riaingalligan8461 who wrote Time is on My Side, jűs sāyīn !😎✌😎!
They present ther new studio album tomorrow...September 6th, 2023. And counting...
Now brian is with Charlie in heaven.....I was 9 years old when this was done...all my growing up the stones were one of my favorites.......Now I listen to Time waits for no one...its life...enjoy it...
So heartbreaking. But very poetic. Brian Jones was a blues purest. He called himself Elmo James before the Stones. His slide guitar work was always impeccable.
No Jones slide was often sloppy and scratchy sounding compared to people like Ry Cooder
@williard billmore lots of the old bluesmen were a bit sloppy and scratchy. Those are the ones Brian drew from. Now Ry Cooder is on a whole other level for sure.
@@williardbillmore5713nobody cares, no jones no stones. That’s final.
@@vxxen7 That was an exceptionally stupid thing for you to say... and what is the band I have been listening to and enjoying for the last 54 years, deluded fanboy? Hundreds of millions of dedicated fans all over the world for more that half a century have been flocking to ROLLING STONES concerts without a Brian Jones... Ha ha ha ha ha ha
I would say they have the "final " say about who cares.
Jones' slide guitar was always awkward and artless. He could go through the motions and play the notes he memorized... but he never really felt the music.
I've never seen this version of one of my absolute favorite RS songs..
And as always..
I am mesmerized by Brian Jones ..
Mr.RollingStone💓💓
Brian was replaced in the lineup by Mick Taylor, but Mr Jones was irreplaceable despite what a great musician stepped in after Brian's death. Mick Taylor's playing on the albums that Jimmy Miller produced for the Stones back then is still first rate.
Mrs. Perkins you MUST watch the Rock n Roll Circus concert film from Dec of '68!
It features several mind blowing performances from the Stones,an all star jam w/ Lennon,Richards,Clapton&Mitchell and the Who's best live song "a quick one while he's away"
I register all the praise for Brian. I fully agree. But the feeling and passion of how Mick sings here stands out for me. It beats all ...
Beautiful.
Brian’s slide, Ian Stone’s tickling the piano and Charlie’s sweet shuffle on the drums.
Nobody knows what awaits.
It's Nicky Hopkins on piano
Brian Jones sounds damn amazing with his musical talent. This is a time when it was just sounding absolutely amazing. Keith and Bill are playing awesome. Charlie is playing on point.How I wish that Brian was still around. I could only imagine what kind of music 🎶 🎵 he would be playing now.
The prince of rock and roll!
I can certainly understand all of the praise for Brian Jones, he was amazing, but Mick’s performance here is spectacular.
Absolutely!
‘…And as I watch you leaving me, you pack my peace of mind’ always get me 😢
Keith and Micks lyrics have an unequaled genius about them
@@williardbillmore5713 Not to mention the beautiful slide guitar by Brian Jones!
@@burno55_ It does sound nice but no expectations is probably the easiest piece he ever played in the band.
I was 15 when Beggars Banquet was released and I had been playing guitar for not quite two years. A friend had told me that slide guitar is just tuning to an E chord and sliding a glass pill bottle with your finger in it. I put on the album and tried playing along with it. Within a half hour I had the part down exactly. It really is only about 30 second of playing three chords with the melody picked out of the chords and repeating the exact same thing over and over.
Everyone I knew thought that slide guitar was really difficult to do and that it was some kind of pinnacle of guitar mastery. I impressed them all by playing along with the track sounding just like Brian Jones the day after my cousin bought the record.
I secretly was always amazed at how incredibly easy it was to play compared to some of the complex stuff Keith did so effortlessly ..
@@williardbillmore5713 It is simple but effective. It shows how talented Brian was coming up with his part.
@@burno55_ Brian was very good at standing on the shoulders of giants in his band and then saying Oh Look how very tall I am!
The melody he plays within the accompaniment is note for note the same melody the Mick sings throughout as written by Keith and Mick together. The slide accompaniment is structured by sliding up to the three chords in the progression as written by Keith when the song was composed. Jones"came up with" nothing...
What he did in that song was to combine part A with part B and play it along with the singer and rhythm guitar without rhythmic variation or harmony.
What you have just said is Oh listen to that guy copy others...isn't he artful and cleaver to choose good parts to copy for him to play.
There is nothing wrong with it as an accompaniment but it shows neither talent nor creativity on his part.
Brian, aún me inspiras, aunque he perdido un poco el camino sigo amando y disfrutando todo lo que hiciste, seguiré haciendo música... Cómo debe ser!
These comments show that Brian Jones fans fall into 2 categories: 1) those who think he was a musical genius and 2) those who think he was a journeyman. At any rate he started the band and was critical to their early sound. Ronnie Wood is excellent but not in the same stratosphere. Too bad Mick Taylor didn’t stick around after Let it Bleed, he was great.
Thank you Brian for the beautiful slide guitar
La piedra fundamental, la joya rodante... Abrazo desde Buenos Aires para todos los amantes de este talento llamado Brian Jones... Seba, 33 años
Jagger never gets credit for his awesome vocals.
yes
“Brian was the first person I ever heard playing slide electric guitar. Mick and I both thought he was incredible.”
Keith Richards
The master of the slide from I Can't be Satisfied to No Expectations
Probably my favorite Stones' song. Emotion just drips from it.
"Our love is like our music, it's here and then it's gone..." Thank goodness for video and audio. We can enjoy this great performance for a long time.
agree!
Jones was a captivating entertainer 2:20 , as were all the Stones of course
It's wonderful to see Brian playing beautiful slide guitar. Pete Townshend said that everyone knew this would be Brian's last live performance with the Stones....and it's almost as if Brian knew his time was soon to be over when watching this footage. When the Stones were formed, it was Brian more than anyone else who believed the band could 'take over the world'. Sadly, as his dream started to become a reality Brian became more detached from the band...heartbreaking.
He shunned success and he shunned friendship. Jones was a psychopath. Everyone who ever dealt with him hated Brian. Most of all he hated himself..
@@williardbillmore5713 You really do need help.
@@TheaterPup No. Not really. I feel I am keeping all you Jones worshipers in touch with reality without any aid . There are many who completely agree with my accurate assessments of Jones' lack of any creative talents.
True fans of the Rolling Stones know that the geniuses in the Rolling Stones are still very much alive.
@williard billmore not true. Charlie & Bill liked Brian and attended his funeral. The jealous prima donnas Jagger & Richards didn't and hated that the public adored Brian so much.. but without Jones there wouldn't be any rolling stones.
The guy was a multi-instramentalist. Looked the part, and formed the band you worship. Let him RIP and stop hating on the man. It's petty & small.
They all consumed incredible quantities of drugs, including heavy ones like heroin, Keith has uncanny, even super human survival qualities, Brian did not and couldn’t handle it. he became sloppy and unreliable while the rest of the band became more consistent and professional. They were forced to show him the door, and it let to his early demise. Charlie lived to a ripe old age and it looks as though Keith and Mick, unlikely as it may appear, will too
Brian on Slide
Priceless!!!
Brian on the Firebird ... magic!!!
Yes,gibson firebird sound wonderful 👍❤👍
Tasty slide guitar from Brian!
Que diferentes y grandiosos se oían los Rolling Stones con Brian Jones en sus filas; esos eran los verdaderos y geniales Rolling Stones; que sonido tan mágico. Puro músico genial, talentoso y carismático. Sin Brian Jones, cambió el sonido y estilo de los Rolling Stones y aunque siguieron triunfando, no se compara con la magia que tenían cuando estaba el gran Brian Jones.
En mi opinión la mejor época de los Stones definitivamente era cuando estaban con Brian Jones
@@sexdrugsandrockroll6029 Totalmente cierto. En la época con Brian Jones, lo mismo que los Beatles, tenían mágia en su sonido, mágia que nos cautivaba y nos transportaba a otra dimensión; los veíamos como dioses. Posteriormente, ya sin Brian Jones, siguieron siendo excelentes, famosos y grandiosos pero ya sin ese algo especial que tenían, se perdió la magia y el encanto que tuvieron en sus primeras épocas.
En ese sonido de mágia tuvo mucho que ver Brian Jones; él con su talento, visiòn y conocimientos musicales, así como con sus aportaciones en la inclusión y ejecución de diversos instrumentos musicales, contribuyó a darle a ese grupo el status de leyenda y de genios musicales.
Homa
The Stones did great bluesy music. Loved it from age 16 in the 1970s
Happy Birthday Mr. Brian Jones. Your work is an inspiration even today
Another so underrated song...How can they guys write so many tremendous songs....they must have 400 + songs..can always put u in good mode..just fantastic...
Beggars Banquet a truly great album. I still have my copy on vinyl.
Stunning, shocking, REAL, rock and roll. As a singer/songwriter, I declare, my heart tells me, nothing tops the old music.
Brian is playing very very good.sounds so good...
Great job 👏 by Brian !
So glad this footage exists. Nice shots of Brian playing slide.
One of the best Stones songs!
Brian's playing is superb on this!! RIP!
Beautiful Brian slide guitar. Diamond
That guitar slide is mesmerizing... Brian Jones was incredibly talented.
Another masterful composition by the genius team of Jagger and Richards. This beautiful piece sits right up there with Wild Horses.
Nicky Hopkins sparse and tasteful piano accompaniment is just perfect to augment the lyrics emotional resignation to loneliness and despair. Nicky never seems to get the credit he so richly deserved.
He was more of a Rolling Stone than some of the Rolling Stones were.
Then you have the fraud playing Mick Taylor's guitar parts
Pretty much. Played on no less than 10 studio albums too.
@@Mark27472 Nicky was more important to the Stones success than Brian was for sure.

Greetings of a *Peruvian citizen* , living outside of Perú.
You right, but I think it was OK for him not to be under the spotlight.
It's great to see this live footage, what a moving performance. Seeing Brian Jones play the slide guitar is very haunting, but it's fabulous.
Yes Brian Jones, he's still playing, I know I'll see him again when my time comes Carolx
2:18 so much heart in those notes
Rest in peace, both Charlie and Brian.
Brian at the end - what a great slide guitar
One of my favorite Stones song. Underrated
It was apparent Brian was heavy into drugs during this period, and yet he plays this so beautifully, as if his spirit knew it would be his last performance with the band, and ended it with the way he started it-the blues. His contributions dwindled his last couple years with the Stones, but here he is totally into the soul of the song. Mick might as well of been singing from Brian’s point of view. I never get tired of this song.
Increíble y poderoso se escucha Brian Jones.
This is one of the most beautiful slide guitar I ever had the pleasure to listen to. Brian's song.
Absolutely not Brian's song!
This hauntingly beautiful song was written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger BY THEMSELVES.
It was presented to Jones and he played a slide guitar accompaniment using Richards chord progression and melody.
Brian had no songs whatsoever ...He couldn't write at all.
Your "sliding " contribution is outstanding Brian...
I'm asking me what have happen here without Mick and Keith contribution.
I was sat playing the Beggars Banquet album on my turntables & realised I had forgotten how Beautiful this soulful song was.
Beautiful song! From old! with Brian Jones so fine slide guitar playing🌹🌞👌
The timing in the beat from Brian is hypnotizing and it makes the song.A mili second delay. Open A ?
It kinda counters the "Brian was too fucked up to play" shit Mick and Keith have been saying since 1989, doesn't it?
The Brian's fans invasion???
@@Bklyn93 They just wanted to tour and sadly, Brian couldn't keep up that schedule. For one night he could be the best Brain Jones. Kind of like Amy Winehouse.
@@Bklyn93 Funny, that's the same time the Stones morphed from a legit working band into a travelling oldies jukebox. Bill made the right decision to leave when he did.
I’m only 12 and Brian jones is my favorite musician
Brian's last live performance that's a highlight of a song. I love the Jones Stones now as much as I do the Taylor era.
Wonderful song... Great video with Brian Jones 🙏
“He picked up this Elmore James guitar thing which really knocked me out when I first heard him play it, because I'd never heard anyone play it live before - I'd only heard it on records. And it was really good.”
Mick Jagger
BRIAN JONES was such a talented lad,he could pick up any instrument and play it so passionately
Best Rolling Stones song ever
Beautiful beautiful song ♥️
Saludos desde Costa Rica. Sin Brian Jones no hay Stones
For all the supposed talk of Brian being out of it at this show, he was great here
I listened to this and then to their latest ballad "Sweet Sounds of Heaven" and couldn't help but notice the similarity in style and performance.
Wooow... Brian jones was a legend o wait is a legend
The Brian Jones Blues Band
Brian Jones the Soul of the Stones :)
The music never dies. Thanx Brian you lived it bad and fast.
Lovely slide guitar solo. Brian was fantastic. Rest in peace!
Im obsessed with Brian Jones ❤
Where are all those people who said Brian’s guitar wasn’t plugged in at this performance? I’ll wait.
If it wasn't plugged in they would have missed one of the most beautiful slide guitar playing in rock history.
Keep waiting, jerk. No one ever said that Jones was unplugged for this performance. Jones WAS unplugged during many recording sessions where when he bothered to show up, he was so drunk, high and tripping that he was 100% useless.
This performance was very rare exception.
He apparently sobered up for his farewell performance.Still he couldn't recreate his studio performance on the recorder on Ruby Tuesday.
He was unplugged in the studio where he was so high Jones was less than useless.
He came up with that beautiful slide riff... mick said it was his last contribution.. watch crossfire hurricane doc it in depth explains the situation with Brian
WONDERFUL SONG AND EXCEPTIONAL EXBITION OF THE BEST BAND OF THE UNIVERS ! MICK IS BEAUTIFUL AND CHARMANT ! GRANDE !!!!!
“I engineered the Stones recording of the Beggars Banquet album, with Jimmy Miller producing. I always felt that Brian was the most innovative musician and the real heart and soul of the band.”
Eddie Kramer
Thanks to whomever for posting this "blast from the past"!!
Raw blues of Brian
I love The STONES since 1962!
What an awesome video. The guitar rifts and emotion gives me tingling.
Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man and
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before
Your heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leavin' me
You pack my peace of mind
🌹🌹
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
It's here, and then it's gone
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again
