Great drums on this track. You can feel Charlie's jazz instincts on this one, particularly at the end, very busy playing but still in that groovy pocket
super hot rhythm guitar played by Jagger, specially towards the end (Richards don't play here, apparently he did not show up to the recording session, so Jagger had to play rhythm, with Richards 'back-up vocal' added later, just for saying...) JJJ.
Really good choice for a deconstruction of a great Stones song. Great to hear up front what was buried in the mix, especially MJ's rhythm guitar, and those backup vocals just leaping out at you. Nice!
I'm the one who actually wrote most of the Wikipedia page about Sway. I had to edit someone's error in stating Keith was on this. In fact this is Jaggers first electric guitar performance On a stones record. Poor Mick Taylor should've gotten songwriting credits for this . A few songs he got shafted on , in all honesty.
@@heelpayne420 Mick J also played rhythm guitar on Stop Breaking Down, which was recorded during the sessions for Sticky Fingers in 1970. Sounds close to Main Street version but without harmonica.
The ancient art of weaving my arse… this is the absolute bollix. Mick Taylor just happens to play magnificent guitar on four or five of the best Stones albums ever. The only great album he didn’t feature on was Beggar’s Banquet. Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exiles and a few tracks on Goat’s Head Soup (Winter) and It’s Only Rock & Roll (Time Waits For No-one) and you have the greatest run of releases in their history.
Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane contribute backing vocals to " Sway". I didnt learn this until 2004 in the book " Anywhere, Anyway , Anyhow Who Chronology 1958- 1978"
A lot of this is Charlie's deliberately slurred drumming and that stately opening snare roll. And then he waits to add the ride when the chorus hits. Just listen to the counterpoint with his kick. This was also part of the AC/DC formula.

Mick Taylor take's these songs to a different level, specialized in melodic greatness
Just wow. That guitar solo at the end is my favorite in all of music. From one of the best songs in the entire catalog. Thanks.
Listen to mick Taylor with Carla Olson and their version
Definitely in my top 5 Rolling Stones songs.
Possibly the best stones album
Wonderful Mick Taylor, the best, lovable guitar
I love this track and this record.
Hearing Charlie makes me admire and miss him all the more.
agree
I’m probably the only person for whom “Sway” is their favorite Stones song. Cool video!
Ditto my friend
It's right up there with me. Fantastic, hypnotic groove and brilliant playing everywhere.
I agree!!! Great song!!!
It's mine too, great song!
If you haven't heard it, Mick Taylor and Carla Olson's version takes that song and solo to its logical conclusion, it's epic.

JJJ.
They gotta nasty gate on the kit. How brilliant is Charlie’s drumming?
Awesome song by the greatest band on one of the greatest albums.
I love❤ Bills playing
Awesome video have a great weekend also happy new year from Canada ❤😊🇯🇵🇺🇸🇬🇧🏴🇨🇦🎄🎸🎂🌲🙏😊

Great work. Never realised that Keef didn't play on this song and the rhythm guitar is by Jagger
Keef? Really? You know him well enough to call him Keef?
Do you realize how lame you sound?
Keith sings in the background.

He's barely noticeable on Let It Bleed.
A fair point which in no way obviates the overall thrust.
All guitars played by Maestro Mick with no Keef in sight. I wonder how much this is Mick Taylor composition?
I heard that Keith was too wasted to crawl from his bedroom to the other side of the house to attend the session.😂
Mick J plays rhythm.
Keith sings the background vocals.
@@ericoberlies7537 Indeed he does

Wow, very cool, being Stones, Who, Faces my favorite bands ever
10:00 Guitar Solo
Hell yeah!

I am guessing you play drums
Phil Rudd......great drummer.
He was so “in the pocket” with the 1❤
8:56 Slide Guitar Solo
That looks like Ace Frehley in the thumbnail.
Like George harrison, mick T doesn't get credit where credit is due.
My introduction to Mick Taylor was the London Underground album by Herbie Mann.
10:01
Wyman's playing is wonderful as always but man that bass tone is awful. I wonder if that's just an artifact of when they stemmed the track out.
Mick Taylor should have been given song writing credit.
