They are young here. This is 1969, the concert in Hyde Park. It was 2 days after Brian Jones was found dead.
Keith Richards is coming into his own around this time. The riff is pure Richards, bluesy and ballsy, memorable without being catchy.
I don’t know why I’m posting so much Stones related material right now. I think it might have something to do with all that has been going on. Maybe I’m looking for a little security in old favourites.
Doesn’t matter. I love this band.

I could see Mick and Keith carrying on in a Johnny Cash American recordings phase of their career. You know they have it in them, and wouldn’t it be cool if Rick Rubin got a hold of them and said, “Just go crazy. I’ll do the rest.”?

And I should make sure I don’t repost the same damn quote two posts in a row.

That could well happen, I suppose. Depending on how bad Richard’s arthritis is.
