The golden era of the Stones with Mick Taylor on lead guitar

Charlie Watts man kept the Stones at it always.Sadly missed and one of the very best.Big hero

When I hear songs from this era of the Stones, I salivate like a Pavlov dog, too!

The Stones recorded this at Muscle Shoals in Alabama trying to capture the magic that came out mostly in R and B recordings done there.(Percy Sledge, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett) They absolutely pulled it off and more. There is an inexplicable element that comes through in the sound produced there. I think It has something to do with the space, the quiet parts of the song, where you can almost hear the studio, if that makes sense. Listen to Sister Morphine. That song scared the s**t out of me when I was a kid. How do you make a song do that?

"Bitch" is one of their best tunes. The live version on 'Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones' (1974) is especially killer. Love this KZfaq channel.

An argument can easily be made that this era of the Stones (with Mick Taylor) was the greatest rock band of all time.

This one hits hard like their "Heartbreaker." Don't know if you've done that one, but it's a teeth-gritter.

Riding with my favorite brothers! This song slaps like a MFer! Speeding ticket for sure when you driving with this thumping in your car! Sticky fingers album is a masterpiece. Bobby keys on sax!!! This was during the stones Apex. Top of the mountain quality stones music!! Just so filthy , another great riff from the open tuning king. Keith Richard's!! I Jimmy Miller I believe was the producer!

“Gritty” The perfect description of not only this song but The Stones music as a whole.

"Sister Morphine" and "Dead Flowers" are must hear songs from the Sticky Fingers album. "Bitch" is a well known song but people don't know the song by title. You should do the whole album.

We used to cover this song & it was so fun to play...still one of my favorites...from the riff to the lyrics to the solo...horns ... EVERYTHING is just 🔥 Exile & Sticky Fingers are my rocknroll bible

I got in trouble at the 7th grade dance because I dedicated this song to my English teacher. Rock on.

This is off of Sticky Fingers. Keep going with that album. My favorite album of theirs and not a bad song on the album. Bangers like Bitch and Brown Sugar and ballads like Wild Horses and the sultry Moonlight Mile. Terrific stuff.

You should literally do the entire first side of sticky fingers. Don't overlook the deeper cuts like The Sway or Moonlight Mile, it's incredible stuff.

Earlier MUST HEAR Classics,, The Rolling Stones "Get Off My Cloud" & "Under My Thumb"..Bonus:: 10+ years later & one that hits different,, "Fool To Cry"..Trust Me!!

They have this ethereal-sounding song called “Time Waits For No One” that you’ll probably enjoy. Mick Taylor, their lead guitarist at the time, performs an amazing solo.

That's session player Bobby Keyes on sax and Jim Price playing trumpet. You can hear the trumpet out front during the last 30 seconds. Keyes played a lot of sax on Stones' records throughout the '70s... such as "Brown Sugar", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" and "Rip This Joint" and has countless credits including working with George Harrison, Marvin Gaye and Eric Clapton.

Mick Taylor with Keith. Best Stones riffs. You gotta hear Midnight Rambler off of the live Get Your Ya Yas Out.

For a live Stones performance, I suggest the song "Happy", live 1972. The superb Bobby Keyes on sax, and Keith Richards sharing the vocals with Jagger. Whilst Jagger is the obvious frontman and lead vocalist for most of the time, I always thought Keith's vocals were an essential part of the Stones sound, whether on backing or taking the lead.

You just keep knockin’ ‘em out. Great job.

The Stones had sax on a lot of songs played by Bobby Keys. Keys wasn't an official member of the Stones, but played in the studio and live on a lot of their tunes. He passed away maybe 10 years ago. This track has other horn players - I couldn't tell you who. I love the lyrics in this one.

Could listen to them endlessly. They're too awesome.😊

Ok, guys. Glad you like this music. From one older brother to two younger ones, it's great to see the appreciation for music I enjoyed the first time around from way back in the 2oth century. Here are two other songs from Mick and the boys that run at different speeds. ANGIE & DANCE LITTLE SISTER. Enjoy

After 50 years of buy Rock music I'm going to finally buy some Rollings Stones music. You two breakdown of the songs and appreciation did it!! Thanks, you 2 rock!!

The Stones had several key elements that make rock and roll sound so good. 1. Soulful background singers ☑ 2. Saxophone, and other horn instruments ☑ 3. Piano and Keyboard intro's or outro's ☑

My poor, cool mom waited in line for 4 hours to buy these tickets for me. Love you always mom...RIP. ❤

Ladies and Gentlemen the Rolling Stones, is a recording of their 1972 tour for Exile on Main st, it can be streamed its a awesome concert, filmed in Texas. This is one of the standout tunes.

The producer at this time was Jimmy Miller. He was amazing. He produced ALL of Steve Winwood's bands ( Spencer Davis Group, Blind Faith, Traffic) and later did all of Motorhead's work for like 20 years. His work with the Stones coincides with their best albums.

If aliens arrived to planet Earth and asked, "What is this 'rock and roll' you speak of?" I'd play them this song. I was so excited to watch this reaction. There's a good reason that the Rolling Stones are the mentioned in the same breath as the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

The brass in this song just blows me away - still to this day! ♡

Now you're learning why they are the world's greatest rock and roll band

As I've said before, the Stones never shied away from utilizing other artists. When they tour they almost always find a local band to start the show too.

Gangster may be rhe best description I’ve ever heard for this song. I’ve worn it out in every format from records, tapes, CD, and now digital. I have seen them do this one live many times in the 16 times I have seen the Stones in concert. It;s a big badass happening when they fire up everything they play AND a 4 piece horn section. Always an amazing stage and performance. You guys did this one right, as you usually do! Thank you, men.

That's the horn section on the original recording: Bobby Keys - saxophone Jim Price - trumpet The Stones usually have a horn section at their live shows.

Stones in this era were at the top of their game...pure fire

Dirty, gritty and one of the greatest albums of all-time.

Got to hand it to the Stones, they came out with a style and sound and stuck with it for 50 years.

From the same album, take a listen to "I've got the blues." It's one of the best on the album and one of their all time best. Lastly, you'll hear Billy Preston do what may be his all time best solo.

That guitar tho.And the horns add a whole other dimension.

There's an amazing amount of, among other things, James Brown in some of the best Rolling Stones music. And, obviously, the same folks who James drew inspiration from and built upon. See, I get the sense that black folks ended up cut off from the sorts of guys like the Rolling Stones and other Brittish bands who grew up on amazing black music and kept a tradition that wouldn't have existed without its black pioneers going, as well as introduce it to non-american non-black folks all over the world. I love digging into, say, James Brown's work and going "OMG so this is where the Stones lifted this from, and this is where X legendary rock band lifted that from". And I see you guys discover that "OMG this is funky, and omg this is gangsta" while listening to the likes of the Stones or Creedence Clearwater. Makes me feel that the world is a better place, that I have a lot in common and a lot I could vibe with folks on the other side of the world, and we wouldn't even think that we actually get and appreciate a heap of the same stuff. Also, it's crazy that black folks in the US got cut off from this part of, well, their heritage and cultural contribution. To the point that grown folks even have to discover, say, the Rolling Stones in their adulthood. Meanwhile the Rolling Stones, and their generation of musical rebels themselves were in awe of iconic black artists. To the point that in Europe, we don't usually think "Elvis Presley" when we think "Rock and Roll", we think "Chuck Berry" immediately. And when Keith Richards was chosen as the person to accept Chuck Berry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame he said, I think: "How can I be the one telling this man that he's now allowed in the Rock and Roll hall of fame when I stole everything I ever played from him?" Not to mention that Elvis himself was openly annoyed at how he was allowed to be idolized all over the States while all of his own idols and inspirations - legendary black musicians who he considered way better than he was - were not! This music is integrative, it connects and shows deep affection and appreciation and respect. So it's maddening that it ever got segregated the way it did, and it's also heartwarming and amazing to see the internet finally desegregating it after all this time. Sorry for the long-winded text guys, but there's at least one guy on the other side of the world who you've made incredibly happy with all your digging into Rolling Stones, Creedence and the rest. It never was, or should've been, music that was foreign and exotic to black folks. And the artists themselves would've been the first to tell you this.

You need to do “Sympathy for the Devil” soon. Classic!

Glad to see you brothers growing. I subscribed early on and are by far the best reactions out there... Keep jammin mon!!

Out of their MANY, this be my fave. Thanks for reacting to it. "Shattered", IMO, showcases Jagger's swagger at its best.

I had forgotten how much horns are on Beotch!! The added horns were extra session players, probably from Muscle Shoals. The Stones had a basic 5 man group, Mick, Keith on guitar, Mick Taylor on guitar during this time, Bill Wyman on bass, Charlie Watts on drums.

Jimmy Miller was the producer,he was they man behind the boards for there epic run of albums beggars banquet,let it bleed,sticky fingers and exiles on Main Street as well as the strong goats head soup . Also produced some no album singles like jumping jack flash and honkytonk women. If u want to hear them live at there peak I suggest listening to the version of the Brussels affair the was officially released on the re-release of goats head soup. U can see them preform bitch live on lady’s and gentleman The Rolling Stones the video version

Love the horns. It drives the music to higher level.

FANTASTIC BAND!!! Saw them live 3x! Took my daughter to see them …she was 4 years old!!🤣

My all time fave Stones song

The thing about the Stones is that there’s so many things to listen to at the same time in each of their songs. Also, Bobby Keys played sax in some of their songs.

The horns were Jim Price on trumpet and Bobbie Keys on sax. They come from the Delaney and Bonnie and Friends ensemble. I'd suggest checking out Delaney and Bonnie, they're under the radar but an incredible group of musicians who also included among their friends Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Leon Russell, Rita Coolidge, the Dominos band from Derek and the Dominos, Dave Mason from Traffic and Duane Allman. Price and Keys played on multiple Stone's albums and tours, incredible musicians!

I still have this album...71 year old man

Awesome! Killer guitar solo on this, plus those horns, and Charlie Watts lays down the shuffle to beat all shuffles! RIP. College football marching bands used to play this during half time back in the day.

Thanks for reacting to one of my favorite songs, *_period!!_* Not many reactors include this song.

Can't wait for you Gentlemen to play and react to the Rolling Stones' "Shattered" from their "Some Girls" album. Until then,... *Keep Rockin'!*

Wait until you guys do some concert videos when the great Lisa Fischer was doing backup vocals. Especially on Gimme Shelter. You'll fall in love with her. 😉😊

Y'all need to seriously do a video review of the documentary Muscle Shoals. It will answer many questions such as when the Stones added horns, who the sax player was, and tons of Motown history recorded in the little town in Alabama

My favorite Rolling Stones live performance film is Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones. It’s this exact band with the horns.

The horns are Bobby Keys(sax) Jim Price(Trumpet & Trombone) Ian Stewart, Jack Nitzsche, Nicky Hopkins on Piano. Billy Preston - Organ

You two will LOVE the song Heartbreaker(DOO DOO DOO DOO)

Check out Shattered too - they're versatile and their drummer is very distinctive

when you see old live performances you can see the mini horn section waiting patiently for their turn. I can only name one of them. He was Bobby Keys a sax player. And he was with the Stones for a long time.

keep on growing your channel my dudes, gonna be bigger n bigger I bet, fun to watch!

This was my jam every morning M-F for 20 years rolling up to the job at the probation/parole department. My exit song for 20 years was Hotel California.

Jimmy Miller produced (to answer your question). He started with them on Beggars Banquet and continued through Exile on Main Street.

This is definitely peak era stones!! From Brian Jones fading years where Keith had to do everything till 1974 when Mick Taylor left, they were the Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll band! From then on, they’ve mostly been self parody. Great great live during those years

When the horns come in ....u gotta move your stuff ...😂

You want some hard Stones? “Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)” is a great one.

So enjoying your reactions! Glad I can across your KZfaq videos! Definitely appreciate your knowledge of music and your insights. Definitely a fan! Keep up the great work!

Glad you're getting hip to the Stones and I want to recommend Hand of Fate and Emotional rescue

Angie is another good Stones song. You're helping me remember old songs.

damn this rocks! love the Stones. keep on rockin

I might be old, but I got to see all the cool bands live! When the band members of the bands were in their late 20's and early 30's and were on top of their game........usually for about $10 a ticket. There were no cell phones. The stages were pretty basic. The light shows were pretty basic. But the live rock and roll performances from the classic rock generation were legendary. "Bitch" is awesome in the studio, but even better when performed live! Mick's vocals on this one are simply bad-ass!

"Sticky Fingers" is the one!👌👍

CRUNCHY!!!!!!

This entire album (Sticky Fingers) is my favorite. All great songs at their best. Good reaction.

1972 live video of this is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

Muscle Shoals horn section.

"I'm gettin' me a Shirt!"😄✌👍

If you want to see the Stones live at their peak, along with some serious horns, check out their clips from their movie about their 1972 US tour - “Ladies and Gentlemen - The Rolling Stones.” My top choice for viewing would be All Down the Line - hands down!

Such a great song

If it's a Stones' song with sax, it's most likely a banger.

Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker!

My jam.them horns baby Motown All day

You played my favorite song. Thank You!!!!!

I always love the kind of sloppy Keith harmony vocals, on this and in general. Of course it's really all the parts working together that makes it great, but I like Keith yowling away on the chorus. I always heard this song session wasn't going anywhere, then Keith showed up late and started playing the iconic main riff at this fast tempo and the song clicked. Don't trust my old man memory though.

Woooow, now that tune is Old Time Gangster - The Stone were Fire during this time period. Great review, Big Soul Airplay BBeats.

Sticky Fingers track 6....one of their best high energy tunes (there are so many!!!)

Nah Mick and the lads don't play no trumpet kind of things. they get some Pro's to help out with that." Andy Johns engineer: When we were doing “Bitch,” Keith was very late. Jagger and Mick Taylor had been playing the song without him and it didn’t sound very good. I walked out of the kitchen and he was sitting on the floor with no shoes, eating a bowl of cereal. Suddenly he said, Oi, Andy! Give me that guitar. I handed him his clear Dan Armstrong Plexiglass guitar, he put it on, kicked the song up in tempo, and just put the vibe right on it. Instantly, it went from being this laconic mess into a real groove. And I thought, Wow. THAT’S what he does"

You guys make me love music again. Like I didn't.

Live - Midnight Ramber, Get Yer YaYa’s Out.

Man, you guys are so cool. I've been following your reaction vids for a while--easily my favorites. Your appreciation for great music is always there, but you realize there's no need to shout about it: the understanding comes through. Props

Love you guys Stones reactions - you got to do Hand of Fate and Emotional Rescue

The b side to Brown Sugar

Great song off one of their very best albums, the Stones still rule! Try Sway off the same Sticky Fingers album, another excellent banger. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎷🎶

Great reaction. Stones defined guitar rock with Mick Taylor on lead and the great riffs of Keith Richards on rhythm guitar. They are not technical like LZ or some of the others , but collectively as a band they are the best .

Feeling so tired, can't understand it Just had a fortnight's sleep I'm feeling so stuffed, I'm so distracted Ain't touched a thing all week I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy Ain't touched a drink all night I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason Just had a horse meat pie Yeah when you call my name I salivate like a Pavlov dog Yeah when you lay me out My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum, alright Yeah, you got to mix it, child, you got to fix It must be love, it's a bitch Yeah, you got to mix it, child, you got to fix It must be love, it's a bitch, alright Sometimes, I'm sexy, move like a stud Like kicking the stall all night Sometimes, I'm so shy, got to be worked on Don't have no bark or bite, alright Yeah, when you call my name I salivate like a Pavlov dog Yeah, when you lay me out My heart is bumping louder than a big bass drum, alright I want it, woo I said, hey, yeah, get alright now, get it Got to be Hey, I'll get alright now, get it Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, yeah Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, yeah, get on Hey, hey, hey

Gentlemen, there's a reason the Rolling Stones has a longevity of 50+ years. I'm glad you're discovering the glory of the Stones.

I love the lyrics of this one and the beat and vibe of the song, I just can’t help or resist grooving to it, movin’ around, shufflin’ my feet to the beat!

I still have the original Sticky Fingers album with the working zip on the front that was designed by Andy Warhol.

Keep the stones reactions coming! We love it! Do SHATTERED next!! 👍 👌
