@@falcon5467 I agree. Keith is perhaps the most expressive and innovative rhythm guitarist in rock history. His accompaniment- the little fills, playing the high "G-shaped" E chord on the 9th through 12th frets alternating with the high A on the opening and closing verses, etc.- is as integral to this song's plaintive and wistful mood as Brian's superb slide work. Jagger's singing, Wyman's restrained but spot-on bass playing, and of course Nicky Hopkins's fluent piano work all combine for one of the most memorable songs in The Stones' formidable catalogue.
One of Brian's final songs for the Rolling Stones. By this point, Brian was a shell of his former self, so the poignant slide guitar he plays wails a sad goodbye.
@@williardbillmore5713you really get your kicks out of trying to destroy Brian Jones's recently gained recognition. You are in every video trying to take away his merits. You are pathetic.
Im 73 and lucky enough to see this great band twice. 1963 and 1994 in Perth in Western Australia . Also fortunate to see Nicky Hopkins ( Joe Cockers piano player) when he toured here with Clapton. Timeless Stones. Played 'The Last Time' tonight, and 'Heart of Stone' and 'Moonlight Mile ' image life without these great musicians. We can trace it all back to the great blues players. Lightnin Hopkins, Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Sonny Boy Williamson etc. "The blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll" as Muddy Waters said.
A beautiful, subdued, moody song, but not so much underrated as underheard. The Stones have always been masters at mixing acoustic and electric in their arrangements. And yes the slide guitar and Hopkins piano are perfect.
This song always calmed me down when times were tough. I grew up with hippy parents during the 60’s and 70’s and the stereo was always on.Both Mom and Dad were huge Stones fans and turned my brother and I into huge fans also.I got to see them around 8 or 9 times in concert but only saw them perform this song once.The GREATEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD ❤
Jagger: "That's Brian playing [the slide guitar]. We were sitting around in a circle on the floor, singing and playing, recording with open mikes. That was the last time I remember Brian really being totally involved in something that was really worth doing". Heartbreaking
If this is not in your Top 5 favorite Rolling Stones songs, are you even a fan? Long live Brian Jones, oniy a special artist can make their emotions come out of an instrument. That slide on his acoustic is so soothing yet painful.
"Our love is like our music, it's here, and then it's gone..." It's as if he knew the end was near, he said goodbye with one of the things he excelled at and pioneered in British music: the guitar slide. R.I.P. Brian Jones
I don't understand anyone calling No Expections underrated. This one particular tune is probably the most emotional, heartfelt and sadly beautiful music the Stones ever created. I have never in my sweet, long life heard anyone say they didn't love this song.
@@lindadee2053 It is more like an inspiration, for sure. This information is in the article "Cópia Infiel - Ato 1 : Raul Seixas e o Dolo de Ouro", the 4th last paragraph (search in Google, it is in Portuguese).
@@lindadee2053 in fact, I think the article gave the name of the music correct, but the name of the author wrong. Honey (I Miss you) is from Andy Williams, not by Bobby Russell. Bobby song Honey, not Honey (I Miss you). The tempo of music is slow too.
This song reminds of a wonderful girl I spent the summer of 06 with! The 1st girl I ever loved… still love! I’ll never forget her and only wish I could see her once again ❤
Definitely agree Brian had a unique sense of tone and the ability to play obscure instruments that gave the Stones a different vibe when he was in the band!!!!!!
Simply sublime. Watched the brilliant BBC documentary recently which focused on Brian Jones life, and its clear he was simply a genius musician with an instrument. This track is a clear example of his brilliant style. His flame burnt bright but short. Rolling Stones are the rock n roll band
You do realise that he is playing beginners slide Guitar? ... quite literally the very first thing a Guitar player who is trying slide for the first time would play. Note for note.
Nobody makes music like this anymore. It’s so organic and raw. And the lyrics almost seem written for Brian-like a foreshadowing, and his playing feels much the same way.
I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. I mentioned to my husband that no one writes or sings anything this beautiful any more. What the heck happened? At least we still have these beauties from yesteryear to lovingly soothe our souls.
@@lindadee2053 Maybe not exactly the same, but look for beautiful song writing/performing among the roots/blues/folk artists that are still doing it. The Stones of the 60s were basically a blues/r&b/country blues group. Mark Knopfler's solo career in the last 20 years has seen him pen some gorgeous, poignant songs in a similar vein. Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris and numerous other country/folk artists as well.
The slide guitar on this, and the piano, are simply sublime. Its here and then, its gone. 50 plus years ago ... stunning recording, and an all time favourite.
Bill Wyman said of Brian Jones, "He formed the band. He chose the members. He named the band. He chose the music we played. He got us gigs. ... he was very influential, very important, and then slowly lost it - highly intelligent - and just kind of wasted it and blew it all away."
@@jimmythesaxman Bullshit. Oldham was a arse bandit. Divide & conquer. Most of those instruments he played from ‘65 onwards has NOTHING to do with the blues. He got cut out by a little cunt who fell to pieces as well.
And "all" Brian had in him was 30 seconds of music. Brian plays the exact same 30 seconds of slide guitar eight times in a row with no variation within this song. No imagination...no creativity... no variation. Jones played like an automaton. Keith on the other hand plays his three chord rhythm guitar accompaniment using every chord inversion and rhythmic fill possible, up and down the neck, to keep the piece interesting. Nicky Hopkins' hauntingly beautiful and sparse piano addition re enforces the lonely desperation and resignation of Mick's genius emotional lyrics.
@@connorfreeman1990 Small faces has always been one of my favorite bands and they remain so at anyone's "speed". ruclips.net/video/CVPnbOFJzFo/видео.html Ronny takes breaks in this live version with variations and interesting cadences that the song needed.
The Stones had a certain “colour” to their sound when Brian played was with them. I loved Mick Taylor’s beautiful playing but something changed and they soon became the (very different-sounding) band we’re still hearing to this day. Brian added a dimension that was *never* regained.
Linda Jones. This beautiful song with Brian's slide guitar was one of his last real contributions to their music (according to Charlie Watts) It's one of my all time favourites. I think they are all worth their weight in Gold !
it blows my mind how absolutely untouchable the stones music from beggars banquet to exile on main street is. no one else has ever released a string of albums so perfect, literally no bad songs on those albums
Sam Rigg wasn’t 1 of those a live album? Anyways oasis had great b sides on both albums. There was at least 2 new songs on a single and both albums had 4 singles per album, that’s about a whole other album of b sides. In fact all there best b sides are on the master plan album. Nevertheless the stones are great
This is one of my absolute favorite Stones songs. It's partially because that slide guitar was the last time that Brian Jones got directly involved with the guys when they recorded a song. It's bittersweet.
i've always loved the stones, but i didn't follow the timeline. i imagined brian jones was almost like pete best or sid barrett, done before they became big... now, hearing brian jones' contribution, yeah, i like brian jones rolling stones. i knew i loved their early, early work of a lot of covers but unti realizing these albums had brian do i realize all those early covers were the same sound, and so i must contribute that vibe to brian... so yeah, the stones may have capitalized on their success by getting rid of brian, but man, it wasn't the same band (and i didn't realize).... wow, that is not a pete best scenario, or even sid barrett (as much as oger loves him)...
I’ve been an electric and double bass player for most of my music career of almost 30 years. I’ve played other instruments, including piano, guitar and mandolin. Recently I’ve had this song on repeat because of Brian Jones slide guitar. So I decided to start messing with open tunings and slide, and learned Brian’s part. It’s so simple yet brilliant. He knew it was gonna be his last. He started the Stones, was very well known for his slide guitar playing, and ended it on that note.
Great work by Nicky Hopkins. I liked seeing on that graffitty wall the words : "Thank you, Nicky". Brian is great on the slide. If you want to see him play this, watch "The Rolling Stones rock and Roll Circus".
This song brings back so many memories of a place from my past where several friends and I grew very attached to this song because we had no expectations. We all wanted to be put on a plane and just leave there. Vietnam 71-72.
this is such a bittersweet song. knowing the story behind brian's haunting slide guitar and what happened to him later on really just makes this more emotional. i like to think this song was also about brian. of his departure, his death, his story.
ABKCO/Decca is owns the Stones publishing rights to music recorded by the Stones up until 1971. They have used this Written Lyrics videos, since the Stones did it on more recent releases. Such as Doom and Gloom. In 1971 the Stones had published under their own record label. Sticky Fingers released in 1971 was the first.
I was in rehab in 1977. When one "graduated" they would hold a group and "Free Bird" was played. When I graduated I demanded this song to be played! Then my folks were late picking me up so the group made me play this again!! Not a dry eye in the house!
Brian Jones was a creative free spirit who Mick and Keith probably never fully appreciated. Sometimes I wish he could have joined the Beatles. I'm sure he would have fit right in.
Brian's ability to play diverse musical instruments gave the songs more depth and feeling. The melancholy haunting sound of the slide guitar seemed to cry out how lonely and tortured Brian must have felt, as if he had foreshadowed his own inexorable fate. Mick's vocals harmonized perfectly with that. In my mind, this song will forever be an ode to Brian Jones. He lived a short but full life. He knew it had to crash. Brian, may you rest in peace. You will always be remembered.
You are so right..... thank goodness they all met....what would we do without them. They have literally been the soundtrack to my life ....60 years and counting!!
I think this song perfectly describes how you might feel it would be inappropriate to visit your Ex's hometown. It's really sad and poignant, as well as being beautifully sung by Jagger. Definitely being one of the band's best songs.
These recently produced and lyrically emphasized videos are finally paying the proper tribute & salutations that these immortally timeless classic recordings deserve. Please do not stop until every song has been covered.
This of my favorite song, and I've been with them since High Tide and Green Grass. Even though I never liked B Jones, he really captures the mood and does a fantastic job of playing, Nicky Hopkins on the piano, can't get enough. Love it! Too bad it's late and all the best have quit and died. Nothing but cheer leaders are left ! You can't live on the past forever.
The magic of the Stones …..got me for soooo many years , when you listen to this it makes you realise just how different and excellent they where ….it's no fluke that we have stuck with them through all these years
“That’s Brian playing [the slide guitar]. We were sitting around in a circle on the floor, singing and playing, recording with open mikes,” Jagger told Rolling Stone in 1995. “That was the last time I remember Brian really being totally involved in something that was really worth doing. He was there with everyone else. It’s funny how you remember - but that was the last moment I remember him doing that because he had just lost interest in everything.”
Knowing that this was Brian's very last contribution to a Stones song is just so overwhelmingly sad. Nobody deserves to die at 27. I've always been amazed that Mick & Keith talked so carelessly about Brian after he died, as if they didn't really care. Comes across as cold hearted.
It's actually not. His last contributions to Stones songs were a year after this song. He plays autoharp on You Got the Silver and congas on Midnight Rambler on Let it Bleed. On Beggar's Banquet he plays on 7 out of 10 songs.
Exquisite everything, slide guitar, such punctilious bass, Nick Hopkins interlude at the exact right place then is gone as the songs says and Mick, at his bluesy country best.
A mostly acoustic recording, the lineup includes Mick Jagger on vocals, Keith Richards on acoustic guitar, Brian Jones on slide guitar, Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on claves and Nicky Hopkins on keys.
This is a go to song for me when I'm feeling like I do tonight, it pleases me heart and calms me mind. Don't know why, maybe because it's such a masterpiece. Thank you Mick et al. Maybe a little Moroccan Ketama will help also. Cheers and love from Donegal, Ireland. 😎
I'm in Ecuador right now on vacation. Tomorrow I'm going to the airport and flying home to America. I've got no expectations to pass through here again...
This is a perfect song. Mick's vocal is right on, Brian's slide guitar is beautiful, & Nicky Hopkins piano playing is great. Very underrated tune.
And Keith's true guitar artistry, the acoustic, is on display.
@@falcon5467 : Your assessment of Keith guitar work on "No Expectations" is right on target. Thanks!
@@falcon5467 The opening acoustic sounds like the opening acoustic on "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

A beautiful, subdued, moody song, but not so much underrated as underheard. The Stones have always been masters at mixing acoustic and electric in their arrangements. And yes the slide guitar and Hopkins piano are perfect.
check out that entire Beggar's Banquet album - it's loaded with country/blues/hill folk vibes!
its literally underrated
It not at all underrated in my book. In fact, I rate it right at the top of the list of the most beautiful songs.
Not underrated to me. I Love it. So did Billy.
"Your heart is like a diamond, you throw your pearls at swine" I love that line. That weeping slide guitar is absolutely beautiful.
Yes.
Yep
And as I watch you leaving me, you pack my piece of mind.
gosh those are monumental lyrics...
Tragically, the last thing that Brian Jones played.

They were and still are untouchable
It’s the best
Tomasz Rachwald heartbreaking for sure.....Once I was a rich man....now I am so poor
Have returned to this song to console.
In good times and sad . Your comment just made the song that much more personal
Then they killed him lol
That great strumming pattern from Keith.
That slide guitar from Brian.
Just awesome.
If this is not in your Top 5 favorite Rolling Stones songs, are you even a fan? Long live Brian Jones, oniy a special artist can make their emotions come out of an instrument. That slide on his acoustic is so soothing yet painful.

The Rolling stones are the greatest rock and roll and blues band ever and always will be forever
amen!
4 ever
Yes sir!
Yous obviously never heard of "the very good boys"
I agree. Keith Richards is the best guitar player ever, so versatile.
Last time Brian played with the group during the record session he pick up the "slide" guitar and magically created this beautiful sound.
The ending of this song always haunts me-the piano and slide just seems to be saying ‘goodbye’ to someone.
it was a goodbye to Brian. he was burned out, strung out, and fcuked over by Keef & Jag.
@@georgemoore2444 Sounds OK here.........
The ending always makes my eyes water. Did both Brian and Nicky had "no expectations" of living long lives?

My favourite Stones song, November 1968. Used to listen to it looking out on the snow as a tiny schoolboy.
I think this song perfectly describes how you might feel it would be inappropriate to visit your Ex's hometown. It's really sad and poignant, as well as being beautifully sung by Jagger. Definitely being one of the band's best songs.

Never heard this before. Really nice tune. Great guitar work by Keith and superb vocal by Mick. Nice little piano interludes too. Solid, solid song.
This of my favorite song, and I've been with them since High Tide and Green Grass. Even though I never liked B Jones, he really captures the mood and does a fantastic job of playing, Nicky Hopkins on the piano, can't get enough. Love it! Too bad it's late and all the best have quit and died. Nothing but cheer leaders are left ! You can't live on the past forever.
you cant live on the future either, its not here yet...
Such a cool song this is.
While not the biggest Stones fan, this song cannot be beat. So good.
Stones vs Beatles? You must be kidding
Long live the memory of the late, great Brian Jones. xoxo The Clarences
THE ROLLING STONES FOREVER! LONG LIVE THE ROLLING STONES!
51 YEARS SINCE YOU LEFT THIS WORLD
R.I.P BRIAN JONES (1942-1969)
It's perfect and lovely and we're fortunate to have lived when they played.
WOW! Yet another hidden gem I fell in love with over 52 years ago that scores of folks have unfortunately never heard.
The magic of the Stones …..got me for soooo many years , when you listen to this it makes you realise just how different and excellent they where ….it's no fluke that we have stuck with them through all these years
We should not have stuck with them all these years, by the mid seventies they sucked and relied
on loyal fools to buy their crummy albums.
“That’s Brian playing [the slide guitar]. We were sitting around in a circle on the floor, singing and playing, recording with open mikes,” Jagger told Rolling Stone in 1995. “That was the last time I remember Brian really being totally involved in something that was really worth doing. He was there with everyone else. It’s funny how you remember - but that was the last moment I remember him doing that because he had just lost interest in everything.”
No question Brian difficult human being
Briliant musician
Very overlooked perfomance
the Stones once was and always will be a Blues Band... the greatest btw
Beautiful, brilliant, sublime work from the Stones.
Please dont cry❤
While Brian's guitar gently weeps.
Good🤩
The beige album
Amen !
That's what i just thought 😥🎸❤
Brilliant
2:00 So Beautiful
I don't think there's even a word for it ❤
Knowing that this was Brian's very last contribution to a Stones song is just so overwhelmingly sad. Nobody deserves to die at 27. I've always been amazed that Mick & Keith talked so carelessly about Brian after he died, as if they didn't really care. Comes across as cold hearted.
It's actually not. His last contributions to Stones songs were a year after this song. He plays autoharp on You Got the Silver and congas on Midnight Rambler on Let it Bleed. On Beggar's Banquet he plays on 7 out of 10 songs.
Probably the prettiest song by the Stones.
I don't know why every time l listen to this beautiful song l miss Brian Jones the authentic stone for ever ... a great musician .
Exquisite everything, slide guitar, such punctilious bass, Nick Hopkins interlude at the exact right place then is gone as the songs says and Mick, at his bluesy country best.
This album was recorded over 50 years ago , Amazing, well unsurpassed.
Keith on acoustic, Brian on slide and Nicky on piano - when 3 people actually find where they were born to be.
quelle bon musicien il étais BRIAN, ON AURAIS AIMER QU IL SOIT ENCORE AVEC NOUS en 2021 .
Man. This is sad and it goes deep.
What a great song! Proof again that Jagger/Richards were a great team!
this entire album is a masterpiece
My fav stones song
RIP Brian
Reminds me of my great brother Andy he's the best brother anyone could ask for....
A mostly acoustic recording, the lineup includes Mick Jagger on vocals, Keith Richards on acoustic guitar, Brian Jones on slide guitar, Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on claves and Nicky Hopkins on keys.
I play this great song everyday. With Brian Jones playing that melody, simply awesome.
This is a go to song for me when I'm feeling like I do tonight, it pleases me heart and calms me mind. Don't know why, maybe because it's such a masterpiece. Thank you Mick et al. Maybe a little Moroccan Ketama will help also. Cheers and love from Donegal, Ireland. 😎
No fucking doubt
The best Stones song ever 😌 ✌️
One of the best and underrated sings by the Stones
sono d'accordo, canzone meravigliosa, non si ascolta mai alle radio, ma chi ama gli Stones ama questa canzone
You pack my piece of mind ... someone leaving great lyrics
Truly one of their best songs. Brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks for posting.
I'm in Ecuador right now on vacation. Tomorrow I'm going to the airport and flying home to America. I've got no expectations to pass through here again...
This is the #1 example of Brian’s best slide playing. I always thought he was playing what Keith was playing.
The Rolling Stones Rock + ,Roll Circus DVD has a live performance . He played it on electric at that show on his Gibson Firebird What a show that is!
WoodstocKenny yeah, i’ve seen it. I actually have the deluxe version of that set! It’s very epic
Woke up early this morning and listened to the whole Beggars Banquet album. A true gem, this track being a true discovery.
