You expect 50 year old footage to look old and grainy, not ultra high def, so it gives you the feeling of watching something modern, not historical. Really amazing and I hope we continue to see more of it on RUclips.
As Bill Wyman is reported to have said “ I’ve been in the band for 30 years, 13 years playing and 17 years sitting around waiting to play” That is quite clearly seen in this clip!! Mr. R. 😀🎶
Ha ha, John Taylor from DD said he had nothing to do ever except to go to the bar, after laying down the bass at the first of every song they were working on, while the others and producers put the rest of it together.
If you’re into non melodic rap like singing it’s Chuck, Dylan and rappers. More melodic you’ve got Beatles, Beach Boys and the Band. Different strokes..
Everyone was influenced by Dylan back then. The Beatles said Dylan's work was their number one influence in moving away from pop songs into deeper material.
😅 Bill sabe cómo fluye la cuestión y está en su sitio perfectamente dejando que los gurús decidan. Esto sería imposible para cualkiera de los del trío.
It's from Jean Luc Godard's film "Sympathy for the Devil", but it's not about the recording of the song. Seems like people here don't even know what they are talking about and have never seen the film. Like most of Godard's films (if not all), here he gives philosophical overview of communism, black panther movement, feministic movements, French rebellions and so on. More than Rolling Stones. Not even focused on Rolling Stones. In random scenes he gets back to Rolling Stones recording Sympathy for The Devil, which is quite extraordinary and unique.
The footage of the Stones is the only good part of the film. Put it this way, you’ll be grateful for the fast forward button if you try watching the movie
The whole scene is amazing because we see the song come to life. If you didn't know of the outcome, you'd think they have a real dog on their hands, and then it slowly comes into being in front of our eyes. Probably the most amazing docu scenes in rock history.
Yes its great seeing how a song is developed,no one writes the finished product,it takes time.Even just learning a song,it sounds crappy at first.Was very interesting footage.
I absolutely love the progression of the song in this doc, reminds me of the scene in ‘Get Back’ where McCartney’s fiddling around on the bass and just slowly conjures the title track out of nothing, then we see it take shape with the band through take after take….after take… (maybe coulda used a few less takes haha)
It’s like when Michelangelo sculpted the statue of David, he said the statue was already existing within the marble and he just had to reveal it. Just as the song already existed before the Stones sang it, they just had to pluck it from the ether and form it properly.
The OG Stones will always be something special. Brian Jones - the best example of winners write history. Mick and Keith are as talented as they are ruthless.
They played him dirty. I love the Stones, mythical band, pillars of music of our era, but when I saw that documentary about Brian Jones on Netflix, to me they really fell hard from the pedestal I used to put them on. A bit like Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd, eventho the guy was sick.
These guys never made it. It’s a shame. They really could have turned that into a song. I’m so glad we have real bands now like the backside boys, Aaron Carter, and NSYNC, Hansen. I’ve never heard of the so called Rolling Stones 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️👈🏻

No. Matter of fact Jagger flowed his Dylan side of him throughout Beggars Banquet album. Its true. Listen to Jigsaw Puzzle and critics dismissed it as a Dylan ripoff.
@@gloriapascoe2614 you're partly right and wrong. No, Jones was not a "songwriter" in the classic sense, but a brilliant musician that often provided the "hook" for many and most of their 60s hits. He was screwed by Mick and Keith to say the least and they have attempted to write him out abd off since his death. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he was "silenced" as he could have sued them for millions on the back end if he'd have lived
If you know a brilliant artist who is having a hard time, or really any true artist who is having a hard time with people, think of mr jones and show them some love and appreciation in his honor. Mr. Jones would like that. Rest in peace sir, the angels sing your praises
@@gloriapascoe2614 Read any book on the Stones. Brian was definitely loaded on drugs a lot and spaced out from LSD. He did not handle stardom well and didnt deal well with the other group members although it is true he was sort of pushed away from the band leadershp and no doubt felt badly about losing "his band". However he did not write any songs according to everything I have read, which is quite a bit. I have yet to read Marianned Faithful's book(s?). Yes, he was close to a musical virtuoso - he could pick up almost instrument and learn it rapidly, and he added some great instrumentals to their early songs -Marimba in Under My Thumb, sitar elsewhere- but there is additional footage from the complete movie showing him slumped in a corner. It is definitely a tragedy that he drownd needlessly in his pool but having read every book I can find on the Stones, it still seems the jury is out as to wheter he was murdered. A year away from the Stones and he might have cleaned up.
Get yourself a copy of Cocksucker Blues directed by Robert Frank. The Stones are stopping the release of it.....for obvious reasons when you'll see it.
The pure genius of the chords combined with the powerful, driving, presentation of the brilliant lyrics are almost palpable. It is easy to see how and why The Stones came to dominate this style of music at the time, and even now, years later.
It is a really easy piece to play. Tune to an open E chord know the three chord of the song and just learn 30 seconds of music repeated eight times. Slide guitar 101.
Charly was clearly!!!!! the worst and most untalented drummer in the world of Rock and beyond. All this insane crap that Charlie was great is simply insane. He was 200% talentfree. Trust me, I very well know what I am talking about.
The quality was so good at first I thought these were actors impersonating the Stones. Wonderful to watch the genesis of this iconic song and how it has evolved. Thanks for posting...
If you look at how old films "evolve", you'll notice how studios can remaster a 35mm film into any media like CD, DVD, Blu-Ray or any format as 720, 1080 or 4k... That' because 35mm film it's so over this formats; people don't know it, or don't believe it, but analog formats had better quality than any digital thing.
Brian Jones Keith Richards and Mick Jagger 3 amazing legends making beautiful music ❤️ Rest easy Brian thank you for all your amazing and beautiful music today’s garbage and trash SoundCloud rappers that can’t play an instrument or sing and steal “beats” from online to make their garbage will never ever come close to this amazing music
One of the Stones best songs hands down! Hearing it played unplugged here is awesome. Would love to hear the whole song played that way and more in a unplugged concert.
Slingshot Chicken There's a bluegrass version out from maybe 15,20 years ago. It sounded something like this! I hear KR and BJ weaving here myself. K waves that guy off like 'We got something here ...' Great capture!
@@DEEZEEMTBPeople who say this often know nothing about music and have vomitable taste. If you think they're “overrated,” elaborate on your buffoonery.
It always amazed me how Keith ended up playing the bass on this song. It's one of the grooviest basslines ever!! Bill Wyman said they were working on this song for almost a week. He tried and tried to get the bass part down but couldn't. Keith picks up the bass and says, "I'll have a go at it," and boom. Magic. Lol
Bill Wyman wasn't even the best bass player in the Stones... Reportedly he wasn't chosen to be their bass player because he was great at playing bass. He was chosen because he had a couple of spare amplifiers and he always had lots of cigarettes. ha ha ha ha ha ha True Story...
UNBELIEVABLE!!! A historic moment in time caught on film for all time, thank you God. I really am at a loss for words. Like accidentally getting on an elevator with The Stones in a hotel after a show. Indescribable. OMG and Brian was there! OMG and they sound so good! And OMG Keith looks like he hadn't started using heroin yet. OMG!!! Thank you for putting this out!

Marti Grant Hey! They are just human beings for Christ sake! Get a grip! They all fart and their shit stinks.
@ exactly I never understood the worship people have for these musicians yes they are talented human beings but they don't have supernatural powers or something they are flesh and bone like the rest of us.
This is incredible. You basically have Mick Jagger doing Bob Dylan while trying to figure out a song that ended up to be a Rolling Stones classic. I'm really glad the final recording was more Mick than Dylan.
Crazy in some regards this is the closest to Brian Jones in life or real time as anyone has had or gotten since his death with this stunning quality! Its literally like being in the same room as its happening!
McKenna what did he do? Goddamn always praising everything Brian did, get that in your mind: MICK AND KEITH WERE THE ROLLING STONES, Brian was a great musician but please, stop overreact to anything Brian does
McKenna Brian plays an A Chord which is very effective coming after the E and back to E. This gives the song a blues inflection inside the folk tune. Very tasteful playing but nothing difficult.
Yeah most chords, certainly what most of the earlier stones songs are of, are nothing wild, but knowing when to use them is the skillful part...and what makes Brians contributions stand out. (assuming tavistock didnt write most of the stuff). Brian was very diseased,sadly.
Saw the film in '69 and was blown away by how different the song was from beginning the the work until finish. It was a completely different song and sooo much better!
Yeah, it's on Bob Dylan's "John Wesley Harding" album. LOL. Try that one out. (if you're not familiar with that album, check it out. If you are familiar with it- excuse me...)
This is EXACTLY how the song was originally written by Jagger. It was envisioned as a Dylan like number. The first time any Stone besides Mick heard it was when Jagger played it to Watts on Watts' front doorstep. I can see that Keith is using an open tuning here. It was one of the last tracks cut for Beggars Banquet (perhaps the last), and the song went thru many permutations. It may have been the longest time the Stones ever spent working on a single song. Needless to say, it was worth it! At some point, I believe it was Keith who suggested they try out the track with a samba rhythm. It's exactly what the song needed. Dave Matthews has said he feels this is the greatest rock/pop song of all time.
He's in Open D with the capo making it E. Keith used Open D for both Jumpin' Jack Flash and Street Fighting Man as well. I love the sound of that tuning on the acoustic!!
This looks like it was just recorded yesterday. Wish my mom could've seen this. She was a huge Stones fan and I remember vividly, back in the 70s, how she'd play their record albums along Beatles and even the Byrds albums when she'd be cleaning the house or just hanging with us kids, waiting for my dad to get home from his trips (he is a retired pilot). What memories! That's where my siblings & I got our appreciation for music. We grew up hearing the best of the best!
This is so beautiful,thank you for posting this video!! I recently watched the previous portion of it,where Brian is learning the song from Mick and Keith...and here you see Keith and Brian using the more "advanced" guitar positions,to have always an E-pedal note together with the chord changes,while Mike is playing only the basic chords in first position!! Then you see Brian already having little ideas for the arrangement-production of the song,when he goes quickly on a "dirty",bluesy G major chord while the others are on E major! (Eventually they opted for a piano part to be played alongside the guitars,and they hired the great Nicky Hopkins to do this!! ). I think that the sound of the guitars on the finished Beggar's Banquet album is simply gorgeous!! From what I can hear in this video,it's a result of the three of them playing acoustic guitars together...after this initial rehearsal work, meant to just learn the song's structure and changes, the Stones "interplay" would create that majestic sound which I love so much in the album(also thanks to the new and brilliant producer Jimmy Miller)! I have the impression that here Brian Jones was still in good shape,he's enjoying playing the (wonderful) song,and Mick is costantly watching his hands (in an interview in Denmark,three years before this video, he said "I can't play anything",but then he had some training in guitar and harmonica,supervised by Brian more than by Keith,apparently).
@@timbrownhill7272 For the record, Brian Jones hired Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Then he hired Bill Wyman and lastly he hired Charlie Watts. He named the band. He chose the music . He got them their gigs. No Jones,no Stones!
That's incredibly high quality film footage. Probably 16mm but could have been 35. Beautifully lit. And there they are, creating one of the greatest rock n rolll songs ever. So cool.
@@elizabethmcleod246 that's actually what I said. look at how Lynyrd Skynyrd did it. they honed their tunes razor sharp in a little shack until they were ready to put it down on tape. Studios are no place to write an album.
I could watch the creative process of the Beatles and Stones all day. 😊 Always strange to see Mick strumming a guitar. I don't understand why Bill is apart from them. But it was consistent as he was the first to quit.
Such a lot of work went into this....was in a film by Jean Luc Godard juxtaposed with events happening in the world at that time. At the beginning I thought that Mick was showing someone's child in the studio how to strum the bit that started it off, but then I did a double take. It wasn't a child it was Brian Jones. He was treated with incredible gentleness and coaxing.
Terrible movie, but watching the creative process was amazing! I wish they would find the all the footage and remake it into a real documentary about this iconic song...
Backhander Billy - you’re right, it is hard to watch a a stones fan and doubtless unbearable if you’re not ... i wonder what footage may possibly exist in Goddard’s archives?? Was he the temperamental type who trashed his unused footage or was he or his production team scrupulously archival ?
The stones have done everything in thier power from a legal point of view to supress this film. No film distribution company is allowed to Distribute without he stones suing them. So it stays on a shelf
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Keith end up playing the bass and lead guitar on the final recording of Sympathy? It would kind of explain Wyman just sitting there watching the others sort the song out
Some interesting things to note here: Brian is playing an E chord way up high on the 13th fret, then descending to a barred D on the 10th fret, instead of just playing a standard E and D. Also, despite all the talk of Brian being too out of it to contribute, it is he to whom Mick is looking to establish that groove on the chorus, even though on watching these recording sessions all the way through, Brian is most definitely being sidelined toward the end. Also, you can see that Keith has already adopted his Open E tuning style, although he hasn't yet jettisoned the 6th (bass) string.
If you spent half as much time paying attention in school as you did obsessing over some douchebag dopeheads singing stupid songs maybe you would have made it in life.
The video quality is stunning.
I started playing and thought "this new biopic of the Rolling Stones looks great...
Agreed! It is filmed on real film (at least 16mm, possibly 35mm?), which in terms of resolution easily matches modern digital formats.

Never fully realized the Dylan influence on Jagger’s singing until hearing Mick sing the refrain in this video.

@@gloriapascoe2614 Read any book on the Stones. Brian was definitely loaded on drugs a lot and spaced out from LSD. He did not handle stardom well and didnt deal well with the other group members although it is true he was sort of pushed away from the band leadershp and no doubt felt badly about losing "his band". However he did not write any songs according to everything I have read, which is quite a bit. I have yet to read Marianned Faithful's book(s?). Yes, he was close to a musical virtuoso - he could pick up almost instrument and learn it rapidly, and he added some great instrumentals to their early songs -Marimba in Under My Thumb, sitar elsewhere- but there is additional footage from the complete movie showing him slumped in a corner. It is definitely a tragedy that he drownd needlessly in his pool but having read every book I can find on the Stones, it still seems the jury is out as to wheter he was murdered. A year away from the Stones and he might have cleaned up.
Imagine all the unreleased video footage they have in the Vaults... Come on MICK, release some treasures 😁👍👍
Frank M a lot of footage has been already been bootlegged over the years
prob a lot of him sword fighting with Bowie lol
Get yourself a copy of Cocksucker Blues directed by Robert Frank. The Stones are stopping the release of it.....for obvious reasons when you'll see it.
It’s not up to Mick. ABKCO owns it all.
The pure genius of the chords combined with the powerful, driving, presentation of the brilliant lyrics are almost palpable. It is easy to see how and why The Stones came to dominate this style of music at the time, and even now, years later.
How poetic I've just bought a copy of that Brian Jones guitar J200 and currently learning no expectations, it sounds stunning
It is a really easy piece to play. Tune to an open E chord know the three chord of the song and just learn 30 seconds of music repeated eight times.
Slide guitar 101.
Creating a new song. Charlie's drumming is spot on already
John Lothrop Charlie is just testing his drums
Hi from 2021…
Charly was clearly!!!!! the worst and most untalented drummer in the world of Rock and beyond. All this insane crap that Charlie was great is simply insane. He was 200% talentfree. Trust me, I very well know what I am talking about.
@@MrSanguru LOL Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
200% talent free??
This whole video suddenly looks like The Rolling Stones bio movie made in the 2019, man
amazing to witness the birth of one of the most iconic songs of the 20th century
What an awesome early take!
I actually went to where this was recorded yesterday hard to believe it all happened there it is inba VERY secluded area of London
This is the coolest thing ever, watching a band's progress on a song.
The Golden Age for Rock. Brian Jones, Joplin, Hendrix, Lennon, Morrison, Croce, Van Zant, Allman were all still alive and thriving in there craft.
The quality was so good at first I thought these were actors impersonating the Stones. Wonderful to watch the genesis of this iconic song and how it has evolved. Thanks for posting...
If you look at how old films "evolve", you'll notice how studios can remaster a 35mm film into any media like CD, DVD, Blu-Ray or any format as 720, 1080 or 4k...
That' because 35mm film it's so over this formats; people don't know it, or don't believe it, but analog formats had better quality than any digital thing.
Brian Jones Keith Richards and Mick Jagger 3 amazing legends making beautiful music ❤️ Rest easy Brian thank you for all your amazing and beautiful music today’s garbage and trash SoundCloud rappers that can’t play an instrument or sing and steal “beats” from online to make their garbage will never ever come close to this amazing music
One of the Stones best songs hands down! Hearing it played unplugged here is awesome. Would love to hear the whole song played that way and more in a unplugged concert.
After The Beatles Get Back,maybe we need this Rolling Stones movie
yes!
Isn’t it already?
Yes Please
Cocksucker Blues on Disney+ lmao
The film Jean-Luc Godard made with the Rolling Stones in 1968 from which this is an extract, I think, was actually called “One Plus One”
That was its original title, I think the attention the Stones footage got made them change the title for American release
This version on acoustic guitar is worth doing, AWESOME!
Slingshot Chicken There's a bluegrass version out from maybe 15,20 years ago. It sounded something like this! I hear KR and BJ weaving here myself. K waves that guy off like 'We got something here ...' Great capture!
Mick jagger learning how to play guitar while watching Brian Jones
Pneuma I know right. I can’t believe I watching history go down so clearly 🙌🏻
Pneuma Brian.
In fact...if you watch the beginning of the movie it shows Mick showing the riff to Brian...then Keith appears.
Mick!!!! Put the geetar down
@Ciaran Moran213 he seems sober in this clip
Love or hate Keith or mick, there's no denying that they came up with some of rock and roll's greatest creativity.
Most overrated rock band ever
definitely agree with you
Whoever in their right mind would hate them? Jealous ones for sure.
@@DEEZEEMTByou need to slap yourself hard and wake up fella
@@DEEZEEMTBPeople who say this often know nothing about music and have vomitable taste. If you think they're “overrated,” elaborate on your buffoonery.
It always amazed me how Keith ended up playing the bass on this song. It's one of the grooviest basslines ever!! Bill Wyman said they were working on this song for almost a week.
He tried and tried to get the bass part down but couldn't. Keith picks up the bass and says, "I'll have a go at it," and boom. Magic. Lol
Bill Wyman wasn't even the best bass player in the Stones...
Reportedly he wasn't chosen to be their bass player because he was great at playing bass. He was chosen because he had a couple of spare amplifiers and he always had lots of cigarettes.
ha ha ha ha ha ha
True Story...
@williardbillmore5713 he didn't play alot of Stones songs🤣🤣
Keef and Mick Taylor played bass on alot of songs
@@toby2k75 All their biggest ones it seems.
@@williardbillmore5713 for sure.
Remember jeff beck said he tried bill's bass and had to blow the dust off it!
How cool to see them like this, young and just messing around in the studio! Picture quality is astounding!
UNBELIEVABLE!!! A historic moment in time caught on film for all time, thank you God. I really am at a loss for words. Like accidentally getting on an elevator with The Stones in a hotel after a show. Indescribable. OMG and Brian was there! OMG and they sound so good! And OMG Keith looks like he hadn't started using heroin yet. OMG!!! Thank you for putting this out!
Marti Grant
Hey! They are just human beings for Christ sake! Get a grip! They all fart and their shit stinks.
@ exactly I never understood the worship people have for these musicians yes they are talented human beings but they don't have supernatural powers or something they are flesh and bone like the rest of us.
That's some restoration you made, guys! Congrats!
This is incredible. You basically have Mick Jagger doing Bob Dylan while trying to figure out a song that ended up to be a Rolling Stones classic. I'm really glad the final recording was more Mick than Dylan.
It’s always incredible to see the early stages of what will become such an amazing song.
Crazy in some regards this is the closest to Brian Jones in life or real time as anyone has had or gotten since his death with this stunning quality! Its literally like being in the same room as its happening!
What is truly stunning is how Jones couldn't find the groove with the two guys who wrote it teaching it to him.
Useless poser..
3 geniuses at work yet I can’t take my eyes off of wyman’s boots
My eyes be like: "No way this is from the 60s"... They did a superb work on the color restoration. I wanna see it at the cinema :O
This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen
The stones are making amazing music for the people and it's truly amazing 🎉🎉
Ok that thing Brian does at 1:31 makes my ears melt. So beautiful !
Dammitt. If only Jones had got his act together and lived longer. And yeah that chord stroke on his acoustic always impressed me.
McKenna Blues on The A chord. Magic
McKenna what did he do? Goddamn always praising everything Brian did, get that in your mind: MICK AND KEITH WERE THE ROLLING STONES, Brian was a great musician but please, stop overreact to anything Brian does
McKenna Brian plays an A Chord which is very effective coming after the E and back to E. This gives the song a blues inflection inside the folk tune. Very tasteful playing but nothing difficult.
Yeah most chords, certainly what most of the earlier stones songs are of, are nothing wild, but knowing when to use them is the skillful part...and what makes Brians contributions stand out. (assuming tavistock didnt write most of the stuff).
Brian was very diseased,sadly.
This is masterpiece even the quality is gold!!
Billy Wyman is totally chilled out. I can’t even tell if he’s breathing. Love him.
Terrific footage - love the Stones also here to see off the great drummer Charlie Watts - R.I.P.
Seeing Godard's film made it clear how much Keith was in charge of things.
Saw the film in '69 and was blown away by how different the song was from beginning the the work until finish. It was a completely different song and sooo much better!
Sounds like a catchy tune , they should record it . RIP Charlie Watts .
Was there ever a completed take of the early folk version? Love to hear that.
Yeah, it's on Bob Dylan's "John Wesley Harding" album. LOL. Try that one out. (if you're not familiar with that album, check it out. If you are familiar with it- excuse me...)
@@joeinreallife6293 Yeah it's up there for me too. Of course I also love where the Stones took this tune. Love the Stones.
Thats the best version
James Westley EWW! It’s terrible to me.
@@bamadeadhead haha
This is EXACTLY how the song was originally written by Jagger. It was envisioned as a Dylan like number. The first time any Stone besides Mick heard it was when Jagger played it to Watts on Watts' front doorstep. I can see that Keith is using an open tuning here. It was one of the last tracks cut for Beggars Banquet (perhaps the last), and the song went thru many permutations. It may have been the longest time the Stones ever spent working on a single song. Needless to say, it was worth it! At some point, I believe it was Keith who suggested they try out the track with a samba rhythm. It's exactly what the song needed. Dave Matthews has said he feels this is the greatest rock/pop song of all time.
He's in Open D with the capo making it E. Keith used Open D for both Jumpin' Jack Flash and Street Fighting Man as well. I love the sound of that tuning on the acoustic!!
It took Keith's genius vision to add the Brazilian drums and make it a samba to save this song. All the elements came alive with this simple solution.
This looks like it was just recorded yesterday. Wish my mom could've seen this. She was a huge Stones fan and I remember vividly, back in the 70s, how she'd play their record albums along Beatles and even the Byrds albums when she'd be cleaning the house or just hanging with us kids, waiting for my dad to get home from his trips (he is a retired pilot). What memories! That's where my siblings & I got our appreciation for music. We grew up hearing the best of the best!
This is so beautiful,thank you for posting this video!! I recently watched the previous portion of it,where Brian is learning the song from Mick and Keith...and here you see Keith and Brian using the more "advanced" guitar positions,to have always an E-pedal note together with the chord changes,while Mike is playing only the basic chords in first position!! Then you see Brian already having little ideas for the arrangement-production of the song,when he goes quickly on a "dirty",bluesy G major chord while the others are on E major! (Eventually they opted for a piano part to be played alongside the guitars,and they hired the great Nicky Hopkins to do this!! ).
I think that the sound of the guitars on the finished Beggar's Banquet album is simply gorgeous!! From what I can hear in this video,it's a result of the three of them playing acoustic guitars together...after this initial rehearsal work, meant to just learn the song's structure and changes, the Stones "interplay" would create that majestic sound which I love so much in the album(also thanks to the new and brilliant producer Jimmy Miller)!
I have the impression that here Brian Jones was still in good shape,he's enjoying playing the (wonderful) song,and Mick is costantly watching his hands (in an interview in Denmark,three years before this video, he said "I can't play anything",but then he had some training in guitar and harmonica,supervised by Brian more than by Keith,apparently).
Totally. If you isolate on Brian, you hear the many of the finished guitar grooves for the song. Then isolatenon Keith playing jibberish mostly
Brian taught Mick how to play harmonica and taught Keith the advanced guitar chords.
"advanced" guitar positions", haha
@@timbrownhill7272 For the record, Brian Jones hired Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Then he hired Bill Wyman and lastly he hired Charlie Watts. He named the band. He chose the music . He got them their gigs. No Jones,no Stones!
Love these behind the scenes moments! BRIAN!
No Jones No Stones ! :)
That to me, is like striking gold!
300 years later, they’re still playing.
Très belle musique, vidéo sublime, merci Jones, Jagger et Richards
Thanks Jean Luc Godard for this quality of vidéo . You ' re a genius.
I’M FREAKING OUT OVER THE QUALITY
Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed are the greatest back to back albums of all time!
Nope. That would be Revolver and Sgt. Pepper.
@@peterkoulouris8900 Nope that would be Electric Ladyland and Axis Bold as Love or maybe Are you Experienced or Rainbow Bridge or Band of Gypsies.
They’re great, but Exile on Main Street is the best album ever recorded.
@@kellylappin5944 Glad you like it Kelly, enjoy 😎
White Album and Abbey Road disagree.
That's incredibly high quality film footage. Probably 16mm but could have been 35. Beautifully lit. And there they are, creating one of the greatest rock n rolll songs ever. So cool.
Beautiful collection of Gibson Hummingbird/ Dove guitars right there! And the magic of the Stones over shadow's the beautiful instruments!
This is how it’s done kids. Play and play then find that synergy.
I love this. ❤️
best done in a rehearsal room that costs nothing compared to studio time.
@@bradleybrown8399 For sure if you’re just starting out
@@elizabethmcleod246 what does that have to do with the cost of studio time?
@@bradleybrown8399 I just assumed a rehearsal room might be cheaper than a studio.
@@elizabethmcleod246 that's actually what I said. look at how Lynyrd Skynyrd did it. they honed their tunes razor sharp in a little shack until they were ready to put it down on tape. Studios are no place to write an album.
this is the first time i have seen the Rolling Stones build a song together and see how that same song has evolved into one of their biggest hits.
That’s amazing quality I have to say; considering the fact I just saw them in concert a couple weeks ago. They were so young in this video.
Mick Jaggers speaking voice~accent is so soothing; could listen to him all day
4k quality from the 60s is like stepping into a time machine
Glad to see BJ jamming with rest of RS classic line up
Kicked out of the band & dead less than a year later :o
Amazing. There goes my childhood being worked on in the recording studio.
I could watch the creative process of the Beatles and Stones all day. 😊 Always strange to see Mick strumming a guitar. I don't understand why Bill is apart from them. But it was consistent as he was the first to quit.
He wasn't but okay
lemurian chick did mick Taylor quit or was he sacked?
@@matthewmedley8532 quit
Mick (Jagger) wrote the riff to Brown Sugar.
@ Bill also did the maracas for this song
Thanks for the great new tunes in an old light! 🔌😀🎂⏏️⏫📲🌞☕🎭💿😂💜
Wow! This is a rare gem! Many thanks!
Love seeing Brian
Such a lot of work went into this....was in a film by Jean Luc Godard juxtaposed with events happening in the world at that time. At the beginning I thought that Mick was showing someone's child in the studio how to strum the bit that started it off, but then I did a double take. It wasn't a child it was Brian Jones. He was treated with incredible gentleness and coaxing.
One of the best songs ever. Great to see how some of it evolved.
This is so raw and so real, what a moment in time.
The birth of my favorite Rolling Stones song.
It was quite expensive to film back then, unlike today, so footage like this is incredibly rare.
Terrible movie, but watching the creative process was amazing! I wish they would find the all the footage and remake it into a real documentary about this iconic song...
it's not terrible. it's just uneven with all of other stuff godard was doing at the time.
Backhander Billy - you’re right, it is hard to watch a a stones fan and doubtless unbearable if you’re not ... i wonder what footage may possibly exist in Goddard’s archives?? Was he the temperamental type who trashed his unused footage or was he or his production team scrupulously archival ?
Exactly!!
agree. it leaves you wanting to stay in the studio to watch more
The stones have done everything in thier power from a legal point of view to supress this film. No film distribution company is allowed to Distribute without he stones suing them. So it stays on a shelf
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Keith end up playing the bass and lead guitar on the final recording of Sympathy? It would kind of explain Wyman just sitting there watching the others sort the song out
Yeah Keith ended up playing bass in the final mix maybe because wyman was not present at that time
I always bought wyman played percussion on the track. I’m probably wrong. I haven’t watched this movie in almost 20 years, definitely need to revisit.
Lsd!
Keith bumped Wyman alot on bass on recordings. Part of the reason why he finally left.
@@djstarsign Bill can be seen playing percussion in the film.
Mick doesn't even know all the words yet - this is fresh - being born.
Every year i come back here to this insane footage.
For those wondering why Bill is sitting idle, its because he didnt play bass on the track. Keith did.
Keith played way more bass than most know.
Brian Jones un gran músico con un talento infinitamente maravilloso.
Some interesting things to note here: Brian is playing an E chord way up high on the 13th fret, then descending to a barred D on the 10th fret, instead of just playing a standard E and D. Also, despite all the talk of Brian being too out of it to contribute, it is he to whom Mick is looking to establish that groove on the chorus, even though on watching these recording sessions all the way through, Brian is most definitely being sidelined toward the end. Also, you can see that Keith has already adopted his Open E tuning style, although he hasn't yet jettisoned the 6th (bass) string.
If you spent half as much time paying attention in school as you did obsessing over some douchebag dopeheads singing stupid songs maybe you would have made it in life.
Open tuning makes it easier to smoke and play guitar at the same time. Important skill for Keith.
They got the groove of the song from Brian then relegated him to playing the maracas.
Clips like this are gold. I just wish it was longer.
so cool to see Keith with that open tuning
