I used to work for the concert agency Lippmann+Rau in the 1970ies as a lighting technician and sort of „local roady“. In addition to my work as a lighting technician, my task was any preparation or support in the preparation of the concerts, procurement and preparation of stage props, etc., and later, from 1974, when I had my driver's license, I also worked as a driver for the artists. The flowers Mick Jagger threw at the other musicians and into the audience were rose petals. Before the two concerts (one in the afternoon, one in the evening) we drove all over Frankfurt and bought all the roses we could get from the flower shops at any price. "Do you have roses?" "Yes, there." "Let's take them all." "But these are expensive." "Never mind! We only need the petals anyway." Afterwards we sat behind the stage, plucked the petals and divided them into two portions, one for each concert. And as for the water that Mick poured over himself and into the audience: That's why towels and a bathrobe had to be ready behind the stage, and we got them from his hotel before the concerts. An interesting detail about the lighting: The Super Trouper Spots (at that time not with a light bulb, but with a light arc between two carbon electrodes) did not stand on the first level of the Festhalle as usual, but behind the stage. In front of the stage there was a huge (rotatable) mirror, and the spots illuminated the musicians through this mirror. During the concert, the mirror was turned towards the audience, so that the beams stroked over the crowd. You can't see the mirror in the video, but you can see the beams shining upwards from behind the stage. I never saw this technique again. By the way, the mirror consisted of a light foil stretched on wooden frames. Glass mirrors would have been much too heavy. During another song Mick threw big balloons (diameter about 1 meter) into the audience, filled with helium and balanced with sugar and styrofoam, so that they were weightless and didn't rise to the ceiling of the hall, but hovered over the audience and were pushed back until they burst finally. We had previously prepared the balloons behind the stage. I was standing on the stage invisibly behind the loudspeakers during this song, and my job was to take the balloons from behind and pass them on to Mick Jagger, to be precise, to let them slide on him. So I can tell truthfully, I've been on stage with Mick Jagger.

Simply the best. If you think it's sloppy you don't get the Stones.

That's it, absolutely no more of those sugary breakfast cereals.

Those ‘69 through ‘73 tours were some of the best live rock music ever played. Ya-Ya’s, Ladies & Gentlemen, Brussels Affair... Such energy. Such sounds. Unparalleled greatness from the greatest band to ever do it.

That was the Holy Grail of Rock performance!

Damn this was such an amazing period for The Rolling Stones !!! The Greatest Rock N Roll Band In the World forever !!!!!

The Taylor-years were the best. Amazing Guitarist, energetic Mick Jagger and good-looking Keith, despite the drugs.

Greatest frontman ever.

Mick Taylor's solo is beyond epic...

All of the songs of that concert were of that level...incredible...

Mick taylor solos were so awesome. Those years were the best time for the band

After all, Mick is the best when he's not dancing around

Speed metal of the early 70's

The Best live version of Street Fightin' man, better that Brussels Affair.

Awsome, , Keith and Jagger the biggest rock stars' ever. Taylor. Charly, Wyman were the greatest rock and roll band in the world on that time..Taylor to much good for the stones ,

I was there, a G.I. @ the time. Incredible show.

This is the best the Stones ever were and will be - Mick Taylor's farewell tour

I think mick Taylor was a under rated guitarist and never really gets talked about much he almost was forgotten for years glad the stones brought him back on the 50 years tour gutted I didn't see that line up

THE best Band forever and in the World MICK best of ROCK and ROLL 👉💯💯😎🔥😎🔥👅👅👅

fuckin Mick Taylor was perfect for this band, him playing melodic solos and Keith hammering away on rhythm. couldn't beat it

The originals, rolling stones.

outrageously good......debauched rock n roll at its finest......the horns sound like a heard of angry elephants......OUTSTANDING all the way around

The best live band in 1973 1993 2003 and 2013 no other band close !!!

What a life. What a time to be a rock artist. These guys!

Great Rolling Stones at the 70 years. Mick and Keith very High 👍👍👍

Even Stones 1980 tattoo you was one of their best with original line up.

Love the communication between Mick J and Keith. And of course I came here for MT, as probably you do too.

I Love these old clips from their shows back in the day____----____:)

I really hope they release a full length concert film from 1973

Ich war immer ein riesen Fan der Stones, was mir das Zeitgenössische etwas aus den Augen geraten lies. Aber wirklich, die meisten live Performances der Stones sind unter aller Sau, so wie der hier.

Jagger on Mars , Taylor unbeatable

king charles,RIP,

OMG. Mick Taylor’s playing is so good and he is gorgeous as hell to bad we have to watch Jagger prancing around while that blonde angel is playing his heart out !!!!!

Great Taylor and great Billy Preston here. In the back behind the amp one can see Uschi Obermayer, Keiths then german girl friend, dancing.

Great show

3:37 When Mick poured the water on his head it made me laugh out loud... then he was kind enough to include the audience in the experience lol

he was starting too get that voice he had for 75-76 tour

Stones at top, again....great performance !

Stones in their prime.

I think this was the Angie tour; I saw them in Bern, Switz. about 8th row @ 15 yo. my first Stones show of many; my world changed entirely of course!

It's a Supersong for me and the old Sound from the Musik! Good 👍👍👍🎵🎼🎶

I believe this is September 1973 at the Frankfurt Fest Hall. It was festival seating no seats you had to sit on the floor. I was in the balcony to left of the stage again no seats. My Airforce years Hahn Air Base.

Thank you for this streaking stellar sublimity: and WHO invented the hard and slashing high tempo chords that came to define Punk Rock? Who in 1973 played THIS fast and held, then mocked time doing it? Not the Ramones, not the Sex Pistols, but the Rolling Stones.

I saw them, on this tour, 1973, Köln Sporthalle!!!

The Rolling Stones - Street Fighting Man ( Live 1973 ) A lot faster than normal !!

I got hit with the water from the bucket in Seattle 18 July 1975. The water was room temp, not cold. And because I was in the front, the volume of water hitting your head renders all sound mute for a moment. That was followed by the confetti spitting dragon.

I was 6 days old.

Rock n roll as it should be.

now why they wouldn't bring out Mick Taylor on their current tour (when he's right backstage) to add his beautiful lead work to this song is beyond me

Ha ... Mick has consumed a very large amount of motivation!

Mick Jagger: The Cocaine Years, vol. 2

Wonder what delicacy he was on at this show!?

Yes !! Mick Taylor !! This solo is wonderful. Mick Taylor and Brian Jones helped them greatly up--. But the bone- construction is still drum/bass and Mick and Keith. And : Keith R. choice of guitarsound and his timing is the thing above all.

Take a few days off, Mick....

Raw and raunchy, yet on point and fluid at the same time. You can see the underpinnings of punk at various stages of the song, save for MT's soloing, the horns, and the circus atmosphere, especially in the first half of the song, with Jagger's frequently off-key, mumbled yelps.

mick taylor ... oh that would rock!

50 years ago today

Holy tits!! Taylor's tone and leads/solo on this version! This would definitely be my all time favorite version if Mick Jagger wasn't so out of breath from the sheer speed of this rendition and hopping around!

the black guy is Trevor Lawrence...he also plays with them at the LA 1975 show...search for the stones 1975 You Cant Always Get What You Want and he gets a long solo on that number....

Punk baptism. A ritual on r&b noise. Amen.

Wow, just the best ever!!! And while you're having your epiphany, also swear off coke, meth & whiskey, just saying😊

Nothing new, but amazing that the dork with the camera thinks there is one member in the Rolling Stones. While MT is doing a great solo, the camera is on MJ doing hip thrusts and throwing flowers. Would love to see much more camera time on the others.

So great! Love it! ^^

Only Rock and Roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do

Mick is on fire!!!

Taylor is the star on this one

I owned this one

Fire Fire. The band on Fire. Tayler why you left....

Lo mas grande q existe en esta vida

sexy intensity, almost early punk

Mantap

Glam Rock at its best to the outmost

Can't take your eyes off him if you wanted to.

It’s Only Rock & Roll but I like it 👍

Wonder if the whole concert was recorded, wanna see Midnight Rambler.

HOLY fark !

Mick Jagger' s voice sings "...street fighting man, no🎶..." *but really he says* "if you wanna hang out you've got to take her out cocaine🎶" _Eric enter the chat_

RIP Charlie

The song finally belongs toMick Taylor and no bady stopped his slide guitar

I get it and I saw it ❗No good Rock n roll is perfect 😎❗

Kick in the afterburners.

Ok I can run a marathon now and where’s the rest of it ?

Mick has consumed the entire national product of Bolivia ...

Why isn't there more footage of the 1973 European tour besides this?

lol during Mick Taylor's lighting solo the camera follows Mick doing aeobics

Punky street fighting stones

Jagger working at his usual 300% effort.

What a fantastic mick Taylor guitar solo throughout that song , a sloppy rendition with daft dad dancing from jagger . Mick Taylor was the biz and added the musical quality to the Stones.Wood is only there now to make up the numbers and be a companion for Keef as he adds exactly nothing

Mick Jagger was in his late 20s here

Cocaine is one hell of a drug......

They lost me when they lost Taylor.

mick Taylor is god

There's only 3 frontmen in history that wrote the book on how to be frontmen.. ok maybe 4: Elvis Mick Jagger Jim Dandy David Lee Roth

I'm a Stones fan ever since I laid ears on them when I was a baby in the 1960's.I've never heard a guitarist play fast clean floating melodic notes like Mick Taylor,Pat Metheny, Carlos Santana, Jorma Kaukonen have a similar style of play, but nobody changes notes as smoothly and clean and as Mick Taylor. I always felt he was a better lead guitarist than Eric Clapton or even Jeff Beck but he could never be as good as a solo artist as all the above. The Stone were a better band with him, but he quit the band, If he didn't leave the Stones I think the band would have broken up because their music and energy seemed to wane and as good as Taylors guitar work was on the band's music especially on live stage performances but the bands studio work became stagnant and though some of the songs were good on Goats Head Soup & It's Only Rock n' Roll the band seemed complacent and the recordings lacked in creativity in comparison to Sticky Fingers & Exile On Main Street. Ron Wood was a good replacement for Mick Taylor because of his humorous personality that fits the bands life stile on the road and in the studio, Some Girls was the album that gave the Stones a new lease in life during 1978. When I heard Miss You I Said Oh No Disco ! The first time FM radio played all the tracks on Some Girls and when I heard Shattered I couldn't stop laughing and I looked up at the sky and said THANK YOU GOD !!!!! I Know It's Only Rock n' Roll - BUT I LIKE IT YES I DO ! Great Posting of Street Fighting Man When The Rolling Stones Were Street Fighting Men !!!!!

Only two lead singers compare to Jagger in the sense of the aura that they created. Mercury and Iggy Pop.

That was show # 2...That is prob why Jagger is so out of breath..Who knows

Hey who's that young guy on the drums?

More stuffing from Mick! Lol

The horns sound like ba ba booey. Fa fa flunky. No wonder Taylor left 😅

Steady with the Potpourri Mick.
