Keith's slashing rhythm just drives everything. He was at his peak, and I argue that the U.S. tour in '69 was the first huge rock stadium tour. A disturbing and magical summer all at the same time making for brilliant music.
Keith's "peak" began in 1969, but it kept right on going, peaking ever more on each tour with the 1973 Indian Summer tour of Europe being impossibly great: compare the 73 Sept & Oct Midnight Rambler versions, or, my God, Street Fighting Man where Keith still feeling the jab of Paris 68 in the air, triples then quadruples the tempo in the end: he singlehandedly INVENTED PUNK ROCK , right then and there, before The Ramones, before The NY Dolls, The Sex Pistols, Weirdos, or The Clash, bam wham bam there it is, with Charlie fighting to keep up and Mick Taylor churning away a lead that covers all the revolt worth living or knowing about.
Yes there is. Listen to Street Fighting Man in 1973, and also Midnight Rambler. Then out of Los Angeles around 1980 came the first Punk Blues, a fellah named Jeffrey Lee Pierce and his band Gun Club: have a listen to the live album from 1984: Danse Kalinda Boom, Live In Pandora's Box ( Holland), on there is a song called Bad America. Or any of them, but that's the best one. Also: Live At The Starwod 1981, songs like Sex Beat, Jack On Fire, She Gave Me Gasoline, etc. You'll thank The Gods.
Best live version ever of Midnight Rambler - apart from the dry as a skull rocking studio version on Let It Bleed. The never recaptured that aura of 1969/70 later on. Legend has it that the Stones did one of their worst live renditions in Londons Hyde Park on the 5th of July 1969 - absolutely wrong: with new virtuoso guitarist Mick Taylor they rocked like hell. And they looked fabulous flamboyant and elegantly wasted.
There are many versions from 71 to 73 equalling or surpassing this one, esp from the European tour 73. But FORGET the one from 71 at the Ronnie Scotts or whatever: it's the only lame one I've heard and it was FILMED. JESUS. But just listen to the Leeds version a few nights away, it was bootleg 'd as a soundboard, it kicks major ass as does the Roundhouse 71 which is out legally on the Sticky Fingers box set...what makes Hyde Park special I think is Mick Taylor 's slide, and Keith's slashing, hacking, pulsing Rhythm: it was the first concert live, without Brian and Keith had something to prove. He did.
Midnight Rambler in essence is the ultimate and definitive Rolling Stones song, or "anthem" if you will. This piece rightfully remains a performance staple and wow it's performed differently every time. Hearing this rendition even before it was released on album, in it's initial raw state - a quality that is very rare for commercial rock band to maintain. Yet as you listen to performances of Midnight Rambler over the decades - even recent ones, it is still raw as ever. The ultimate Stones and my favorite.
This is awesome. I had no idea they played this that day. Cool to hear MT on the slide. This being the first live performance you can really hear how they worked it out over the next few months when you hear the Ya Ya’s version where MT just let’s it rip. Thanks so much for this.
The Beatles had to sit in the studio and wonder why they couldn't see the sun rising or the gates of hell opening .. The Stones were knocking on their exit door in 69 . 😎
It would be a dream come true if this dirty hard rocking full version gets a official release. Hyde Park '69 is on top with the best concerts the Stones did. Songs like Rambler, HTW and Love in vain haven't been better since...
Chulada de canción. Chulada de versión. Una de las mejores versiones, si es que no la mejor. Excelente diálogo entre las guitarras de Keith Richards y Mick Taylor.

Charlie was the engine. They don't sound like the Stones without him.

@@jasonlynn1017 There is no question Keith is the original punk rocker. Mick confirmed it in '78.
@@georgemetesky5519 No doubt! Charlie was the best.
Wood inspired that album...@@jonathanabbott8579
This version is just so raw and powerful. Is there such a thing as punk blues? This may be it.
Yes there is. Listen to Street Fighting Man in 1973, and also Midnight Rambler.

For me, this is the ultimate version.
What about the 'Marque Club' version?
Yeah it's good. I prefer ruclips.net/video/ETnN5FeVz4I/видео.html
I mean, they are all good but some really hit me. @@herbertluthe6850
Oh it's good. But this one.. Oh man! ruclips.net/video/ETnN5FeVz4I/видео.html
@@herbertluthe6850
Ya-Ya's is a lot cleaner. What I like about this is the tone of the lead guitar starting at about 5:09, which eventually turns into call and response.
From 2:40 to 4:15 it's basically punk rock! Drives me nuts. Then MT's slide at his best. My favorite version too.
RIP Charlie, may your legacy last for ever
The first song that came to mind when I found out he passed. Charlie and the boys shine on here.
@@tacoblend3246 Yeah, it happened to me too
Amen
Charlie was really good on Hyde park!
Irreplaceable.
this one hits HARD. it's actually the only version I like to listen apart from the studio take. rock on everyone
1972 versions hit harder
The Ya Ya’s version rocks pretty hard
Definitely.
@@bjones8470yes get yer ya ya’s out is the best version
Try the 1973 one from London! Or Bruxelles!

Granada TV captured good stuff for Midnight Rambler. The studio version's off the charts for brilliance : )
I still love Ya Ya’s but this fantastic.? I had no idea they played this

oh that fucking tone of keith!
Pretty sure it's Taylor playing that badass lead from 5:09. You can hear Jagger saying, "pretty good". Sounds like he's miring his new guitar player.
Just a few months before the Get yer ya ya's out came out in '69. I was 12 years old and never will forget it. Wauw!
Think u meant Let it Bleed in 69 with GYYYO in 70
@@flyingphobiahelp You are right. It' such a long time ago.😉

the stones were sooo goood...but unfortnatually...THEY WOOD ALWAYS PLAY SECOND FIDDLE @ THE BEATLES!!! LOL

Did they do HTW at this show?
@@bjones8470 Yes!.
They were very rusty.
Totally agree. Pretty frustrating
1971 live at leeds is also a great recording. the leeds brown sugar version is the best i ever heard
Altamont's version of Brown Sugar is pretty raw. Like, bump and grind.
@@Zopf-international Where can I hear that version of brown sugar? Thanks!
@@Zopf-international Thanks, I found it!
Nah, the 72 version aka “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones” is superior
Chulada de canción. Chulada de versión. Una de las mejores versiones, si es que no la mejor. Excelente diálogo

This and Jigsaw are my favourite Stones tracks
They even sounded good raw. Excellent technicians in 1968 and outdoor.
1969
This and the Leeds version are the best that they ever did.
Meant...from 7:45 on the guitars sound great. Not a version I had ever heard. Drums coming in, etc. Great post
fucking beautiful. the price of darkness authenticates this.
MY respecto for Sir Jones and Richard but the way Taylor shapes this song it´s awesome!!!
this song ushered in the Stones' golden era with Taylor
completely beautiful
Best performance of Midnight rambler ever!
Wonderful midnight rambler ❤
Una bella ballata interpretativa questi rolling stones di annata country blues rock ❤😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Danke nochmal fürs Senden und Grüße aus Nordhausen ❤❤❤❤❤
Keith is rifling thru
Mick Taylor.
I can’t believe I’m first hearing this version in 2023.
and it hurts
just second to the Marque Club version.
Much better than the Madison Square Garden version.
Cosmo D don’t totally agree but love the harp
Good but not as good
Is that John Lennon to the left of Mick Taylor?
3 days after Brian Jones death
Brian Jones..His Band!!!!
How do you get that rough sound!?
soul
Say what time is it!
never heard such a worst concert.
It was outdoor. Sound system was iffy. Still a great concert.
