Deep analysis may even be an overkill... But the way YOU do it, makes me learn how to listen to music (I already thought I knew how). There is no better guide through the world of contemporary music than you, mr. Beato! Thanks and keep on! And for those SOBs who implement copyright claims and block your work: museums without historians is just a storage! Art needs to be preserved, analysed, shown and explained by the gifted to public! If a piece of music is not a piece of art, but merely a product... well, F it! be forgotten!

I named my daughter Angie because of this song. She died at age 20. We played the song at the beginning and end of her memorial service. Loved this video about that beautiful song.

Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, understated and underrated. Stones story: I worked for a sound company, got a call they needed a 24 channel snake for a band called the Cockroaches. We knew it was the Stones who had been rehearsing for a tour at Longview Farm Studios in Massachusetts. The "Cockroaches" were doing a warm up gig for their tour at a 300 seat club in Worcester Mass. Called Sir Morgans Cove. I arrive with the snake and the police stop me saying "You can't go in there", I say look I don't care they called us for the snake, if I don't get in it's on you. I turn to walk and the cop says he'll check. In I go. The soundman says in a deep southern drawl, Well we're past the point of needing that but you can stay. I'm leaning against the stage and this big dude in a black tee shirt like mine calls a group of black tee shirts to the front of the stage. He starts giving security instructions and he assigns me the floor downstage right center Uh...OKAY...doors open. I'm doing security for the Stones. The crowd enters, band goes on, yeah the real Stones at arms length. You'd think they would not be too stoked playing for 300 people. Wrong! Jagger specifically and the entire band could not have been more exuberant in their performance, I was totally shocked and impressed by their professionalism and energy. Needless to say I have been a fan ever since. I kept expecting to wake up from that dream but Nope, Walter Mitty life moment...Priceless! And no I never tried to collect a security paycheck...

Two things about Beato. 1. He has a deep love of a wide variety of music. 2. He talks like you're someone he knows and you FEEL like he's actually speaking to you.

I love the way you’ve shot this episode, brilliantly done with the guest performers and the way things are explained. Awesome Rick.

The best thing about these videos isn't all the amazing musical insight but watching Rick's eyes get big as he air pianos and pulls faces like it's 1973 and he just bought this record, you're hearing it for the first time and it is really, really, REALLY important that you dig this song because it's just the fucking BEST, man.

""With no lovin' in our souls and no money in our coats" is one of the first lines that made me think about the way good rock lyrics are written. The first part is very abstract and dramatic, setting the emotional stakes of the song very high. It's also rather grand and full of pathos, and if the lyrics continued in that way they'd risk becoming pretentious and cheesy. Instead, it immediately turns toward a more grim and unsentimental material reality, "we're freakin' broke." But it does this with a single concrete image, empty coat pockets, which also highlights the cold, wintry mood of the song. When I first heard it, I wondered why it was so striking, and that's when I realized that how you say something, how you show things to the listener instead of just telling them things, is really the most important thing.

The 60s and 70s were a musical feast. The talent and creativity are just amazing.

These are the best music-related videos on KZfaq - period. The professional insights, technical info and passion are awe-inspiring.

What makes KZfaq great? Every episode from Rick Beato Thank you Sir, you share your passion and love for music with us, which is truly inspiring and your content is outstanding. Keep on going, Rick!

This is such a beautiful song indeed. I don't know why, but as I'm getting older, I'm becoming very emotional when I hear or see beautiful things. That's why Angie is one of the songs I prefer to listen when I'm alone. So no one can see the tears in my eyes.

If you do the Stones again, please do "Gimme Shelter"

I met Keith Richards at a Terence Trent Darby gig in London in the 90's. I was friends with TTD before he became known hence being given a backstage pass. Back stage, I bumped into a guy in front of me. Straight into his eyes. I literally had a multilevel experience of the cosmos, stars & all, which took me through a light vortex. We each grabbed each other's arms to steady ourselves & he said “Oh lady, you are beautiful, thank you”! When I stepped back from this man, it was only then I realized it was Keith Richards! That is the level he & this band are able to manifest. He put it down to me I put it down to him, but that was a dual catalytic experience. And no, I do not do drugs or drink alcohol whatsoever. Pure cosmic energy at play.

1973. When incredibly beautiful art like this was in the mainstream consciousness. God, where’s my time machine?

I was hoping it was gonna be my favorite song by the stones, but you can’t always get what you want.

So many great Rolling Stones songs.. One of my favorites is "Dead Flowers". Just Love the whole 'Sticky Fingers' Album!!

OK, Rick; you finally got your favorite song. Next, can you hit mine? GOD ONLY KNOWS, by Brian Wilson/ The Beach Boys??? Lots to study there.

08:05 - "All about the nines". That piano gives me shivers! Amazing.

I never thought about it, that might be the best song ever Written.

One of the best acoustic arrangements of all time. Just the chord progression alone strikes a certain uplifting melancholy in my soul

"Angie is my favorite song of all time." *names daughter "Layla."*

I had never appreciated what a complex song this was. Great to see Rick Beato sharing his love for a favorite classic song. These videos help to keep the music alive!

Nicky Hopkins; THE piano player. My personal favorite Nicky riff is from "Loving Cup". "Gimme little drink..."

Some of Stone's best songs are the ballads which resonate throughout my body and soul. Angie, Wild Horses, Ruby Tuesday, Tumblin'Dice, etc are all on my "Chill List".

If I get a notification from Rick, I stop everything and click. Then I hit like before he starts talking. You’re the man sir! Thanks from all of us... cheers

No matter the era or style, suspended chords are so powerful. This is an example of a great use of them.

Nicky Hopkins is such a genius on piano. Just check out his piano lines on "Oh Yoko" by John Lennon. Incredible stuff ! And what about "Jealous guy" ! Amazing musician ! Thanks rick for putting his work forward. 👍👌

This has always been my favorite RS song. I never knew until now others felt the same way! As a non-musician, much of your analysis is over my head, but it helps me appreciate the song even more, and I'm very grateful for that. Your joy is wonderfully infectious, and again, thanks for sharing that.

The amount rick said "Its beautiful" in this video ⬇️

And Rick reminds the contemporary world what the beauty in music is once again🤙

I liked Angie enough, but had never realized how layered and complex the arrangement was despite being a "simple" tune. You've opened my eyes, good sir!

Wow, Rick! I must have heard this song thousands of times ( huge RS fan), but this maybe is the first time I really listened & with your enthusiasm, it has brought tears. Thanks!

Man, I dont Know what I like more, to see how everything was written or to see how happy is rick explaining the song :)

Moonlight Mile to me is a complete Masterpiece from start to finish, and one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. The empathy Jagger places in a song with emotion written all through it, makes you feel his conscious masculinity in every verse, change and pause. He uses the silence in-between to gesture speak in phrased rhythmic melody. Continental Drift is another user appreciated Jagger styling and masterpiece, no doubt about it the Rolling Stones are masterful musicians. As for Bill Wyman over Darryl jones, Bill had and likely still has that sense of where the Stones sounds will go, so he can create within, unique bass notes and rhythmic structures, whereas Darryl, would be hesitant and try and get by, by maintaining and staying closer to the overall beat. Therefore limiting that unique element of creativity between the Stones. Bill Wyman is deeply missed for that reason alone. Great show on Angie.

Seriously one of your all time best videos Rick! This one really makes me cry

It makes me happy that Rick's favorite song is by my favorite band! The Stones are def a specific taste, but for my money they are the greatest rock band ever. They played this song live when I saw them a few years ago.

As I'm watching this, I'm thinking - this guy REALLY loves music! Love your channel, keep up the good work!

Videos like this are why you have a million subscribers. So so good.

The amount of effort you put into doing this, and the amount you put in this episode specifically is staggering, and it doesn't go unnoticed. The best episodes for me are the ones where you love the song so much you are "nerding out" the whole time, and your enthusiasm is infectious. Angie is definitely a spectacular song. I just wanted you to know you inspired a complacent guitarist in his early twenties to pick up the piano and finally learn music theory.

Mr Beato brings up songs that have been beaten to death on the radio and takes them apart before our very eyes and reassembles them with a new gift of life and magic. Wonderful

Got to be honest! before today I never really enjoyed this song but now I see the whole picture... it has a lot of soul...unreal. Incredible talent the Stones!!

Rick, Your Love Of Music always shines like a beacon on a stormy night.

Favorite Stones song. Absolutely LOVE this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️

One thing about the Rolling Stones music is all the subtleties that you never hear the first time you listen. After listening to the recordings multiple times, the brilliance of their songs is realized.

You are slowly but surely reawakening my once 'oh so love and appreciation of music'...love the breakdowns

One of the Stones' many masterpieces. Thank you so much Rick!

A great segment. I love that you have this as your fave song. Often musicians who are very sophisticated start to lose track of the core beauties and songs. Anyone who knows me, knows that all my life I have been a huge and total Stones devotee, so this clip is extra good. The Stones were firing on all cylinders in early 70's, and so much of the charm came from understated parts like Bill's Basslines, or Charlie knowing exactly when to open and close the Hi-Hat (another magical ingredient of this timeless song). When citing Jagger's greatest vocal performances we often mention "Let it Loose", "Sympathy for the Devil" etc. but I. have always thought this is his best. No one, can sing it like he did; not even he can do it anymore. The high notes in head voice, the gorgeous lyrics. BTw - a good bit of the words were by Keith. Also interesting to note that Taylor hardly is a factor in this song. And normally this would have been his type of song. The best part of the clip IMO (and something that often sums up the Stones' genius) is when Rick says "Did they know what they were doing ? Well, no, but..."

I always concentrated on the guitar. This really opened my eyes to the gorgeous piano winding it's way through the piece. Nice bass lines, as well.

I'm a broadcast engineer and many years ago I was at a recording seminar and the lecturer pointed out that when recording to vinyl you MUST have the phasing of anything in the low frequency range (bass and bass drum) right or you risk pushing the needle out of the groove. Then he put a song from "Through the Past Darkly" on an oscilloscope displaying the lisajeux pattern (I won't explain that here... we all have Google) which showed the left and right channels in the "illegal" places which is the fault of the recording engineer. But he finished up saying *_"It just goes to show that you can't mask brilliance"_* 8^)

The way you break these songs down is fantastic. I sometimes hear things I never noticed before. Thanks Rick!!

Please, never stop doing these videos! This is by far your best work of the WMTSG Series. Thank you, Rick. Your channel is amazing. Cheers from Paraguay ✌🏻

I love this chord progression! And these are some of Mick Jagger's most tonally beautiful vocals.

The key change from G to F goes from happy and hopeful to depression, just like the lyrics of the song.

Thank you Rick, your enthusiasm for music just makes me realise how much i really love music. no click. if it sounds right it is right.

No-one can explain by pulling apart such a beautiful song as this chap. He has an inborn gift for music, you can tell.

I slow danced with a girl back then, at age 13, to this song. Had just started middle school here (our sort of high school) It was magic. Now that i hear it again, i go back to then. Its 50 years ago. But also just yesterday.

Hey man, I've always loved this song. And seeing the look in your eyes around 4:33-5:00 speaks volumes about how deeply you get how cool this is. So thanks. 1M+ subs fully-deserved!

I hadn't seen rick as emotionally moved and animated as in this video, Its wonderful to have you make videos for all of us music lovers out here to watch Rick. Thanks for being yourself and grateful that you chose to do Everything Music. Many congrats on the million mark!

Can you do a series called “Why this song sucks”? (I can submit some of my own songs to get you started)

I just love watching people talk about what they love and thsi is a great example of that. You are a fascinating guy Rick (who lives my dream life) but here you make it so real and passionate. I never appreciated the piano on this track (perhaps because I'm a guitarist) but it really adds so much, and the authetic vocals, like Jagger's in the room,. I love this song but this video has allowed me to hear this song with an even deeper appreciation. Seriously, thank you so much.

Love the way you brought in others to showcase the various parts - Les was firing on all cylinders again. The lighting on the last few vids has been kick ass!

The Stone's ballads were incredible!

One of the Rolling Stones' strengths is how their songs often seem simple on the surface, but when you take a deeper dive into them, there's a lot going on that keeps them interesting and make them stand out. Their generation had to find out themselves how to play with simple means and I think that may be the main reason why they came up with uncommon, surprising results. Producers and session musicians naturally also contributed a lot to this.

Beautifully done. Goose-bumps at times. Some of your best work, RB - animated by your obvious intense love for this piece of music. And each of your accomplished friends added appreciably to the narrative.

Thank you for helping me understand why I have loved this song since I was about 9 years old. The 9th and 6th notes have a lot to do with this, as do the amazing lyrics and delivery of them. Wow!

you can hear the blockers running down the hill now...

Love the stepped up video with the studio put back together and getting other folks in and doing the whole thing to live music instead of stems (which is really cool too). Your videos just keep getting better.

I was there on 17 October 1973 at Vorst National in Brussels….Billy Preston on keyboards, Mick Taylor on lead and slide, Steve Madaio on trumpet, Trevor Lawrence on saxophone…..Keith called this one of the Stones best concerts ever….the band was cooking and yes Angie was amazing live 👏👏👏👏great video 😎🥂

I just want to add that the hi-hat bark that Charlie Watts does after Mick sings "Angie" is absolute perfection and such an integral part of the song that I can hear it in my head even when I hear a cover that doesn't have drums.

Angie has always been my favourite Rolling Stones song, so it’s a joy to hear it given the Mr B treatment. Thank you!

Thanks again. This song, and your description gave me chills. That doesn't happen much to me anymore. Love your enthusiasm. Thank you, and congratulations on one million.

As ever, just great, Rick. The in-depth analysis from my favorite music teacher is, to me, a true gift. And the sheer joy and exuberance you experience in playing it is a delight. It vindicates my love of it all, sometimes I break into tears when I woodshed some of these tunes. You're a blessing to us all.

Attempt #10: Could you do a Supertramp song for "What Makes This Song Great"? "Take the Long Way Home" and "School" are fantastic musical pieces. They are an underrated band that topped charts in many countries.

Another great job. So much fun to watch.

I always loved the song, but your enthusiasm over the song is a beautiful thing to behold. I love your explanation and underpinning music theory references. It gives me deep insight into the song and structure. I take that insight with me into my musical experience. It makes all the difference.

Maybe your best video of this series. I can feel your passion for the song. Great stuff.

Remember life before " what makes this song great" ...yeah, me neither

I'm simple, when I see Rick video involving the Stones, I stop in complete excitement to see! Great work man!

Your favorite song, and you have done it justice. Thanks Rick, we are blessed to have you.

This song always remind me of my first head deep romance from about 18-21. We lived together , partied together, raised havoc together, got drunk together, fought each other, and loved each other. It was an absolute burning flame of a relationship that was doomed from the outset. We just came from different worlds, and I was a crazy ass unemplyed muso in a punk rock band and she was the daughter of wealth who had expectaitions on her. So after 3 stormy years it finally end and she left, she couldnt take the poverty anymore, and I couldn't pretend I was someone I wasnt, and I fell into a vortex of self pity and self destruction, and this song was my theme song. Bloody thing. Its so good. Two decades later, we're still friends, but its obvious to both of us, that had we gotten married and tried to make it work, it would have been absolute havok on both of us. "When will these clouds disapear". Maybe in the next life.

I agree with you Rick. This is a very beautiful song! As is obvious, my name being Angela, becomes shortened to Angie. As a result, this song has been played to me many times through out my life on several occasions. I know every chord, every word, every second in between, every notion of this song from beginning to end! This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Not only are the words very relatable to my life experiences, but also the combination of musical instruments which creates the beautiful melodies as you have described in great detail, that makes this song such a beautiful and soul filling work of art! Thank yoU Rick. You did a great job here! I just linked on to your subscribe and I love all of your discussion topics!

Beautifull. Such a blessing 'living' the masterpiece song with you. These legends have to be shared. Greetings from Israel.

Hey Rick, your new format really adds greatly to the concept! :-) This way the song structures, techniques, mix and overal sound - and of course the artist's brilliance - get all the attention they deserve!

First thing that I've watched this morning! This is one of the best ideas for yt channel that I've seen in a long time. Great job, you have a lot of knowledge, but also a great way of compiling it and presenting. I'm really glad that I stumbled upon your channel. Congrats on 1M subs! Cheers!

This episode is priceless, thanks a lot Rick.

You guys sound great, the voice the guitar the piano,wow is all I can say

Also one of my favorites of all time. You made realize how little I actually know about music but because of your musical expertise I appreciate the song even more now. Thank you.

As a musician i really, really, really appreciate the perspectives of someone who had success in the industry. On top its just so much fun to watch rick enjoy great songs.... LOVE IT

The quality of this video is so high, i fell like a thief watching it for free..this is some music college level analisys. "there's no channel that come close to your"

Rick you crack me up with your commentary! “Who does that!” I’m a massive stones fan and a fan of other bands you review and I love your passion for all music and specifically the stones as well! Thank you for this long awaited review!

First time viewer here. - thanks for these videos. I love The Rolling Stones. Don't listen to them much anymore cause I'm into newer stuff now, But I really love seeing people being moved by music or other art. and it was obvious how much you love this song, and thanks for the backstory. I'm no stranger to it, but you did a great job of making a complicated story simple...I must admit, that when I heard Angie on the radio everyday in 1974 I was not in love with it at all. I don't know why -- Maybe I loved Exile so much it was a let down -- you know the story. But I've come to love it and appreciate it for all the things you mention here, especially Nicky Hopkins. He graces every great stones song, IMO...and everything else you said....haha. I am looking forward to a serious "binge watch" of what may have become my newest favorite You Tube Channel... Peace Out. JMHO.

I was moved to tears with your love and understanding of this beautiful, eternal song.

Absolutely my favorite Stones song. Your videos rock.

Thanks. Like what others have said, i have heard this song for the first time again after a million listens

Thanks for this Rick - truly one of the great songs with emotional punch of all time. Your breakdown and studio friends are second to none.

Rick, I grew up with a father who was a bass player in alot of bands in the 60s and 70s...played gigs on bills with the young rascals and billy joel when he was in the hassles...he is 71 and still plays in a band that gigs around long island and the city to this day...at any rate I grew up with a musicians ear and always have enjoyed the type of music you present in this series. I have 5 kids now myself...my oldest 2 are musicians and I share this series with them and my father. I love the whole layout of these episodes. It is my favorite thing on you tube. Keep up the good work and I will gladly watch and share any material you put out. Thanks again

I have heard someone say that Keith Richards is one of the really great acoustic players alive. That changed how I listened to the Stones ... started appreciating the amazing acoustic work. Similar to when my son picked up the bass guitar - I started listening to The Who for their bass work - opened the music up to another level.

Nice! Such a great tune, Man you guys sounded great!! Thank you much Rick, I love this series always learn so much! Thanks again my friend! 🎸🎸👍

Always feels like my heart breaks at the end of the song. Amazing Amazing song.

Congrats on your million subscribers and now followed by this! I hope they allow you to monetize these types of videos moving forward. Such great stuff overall
