Dangerous Riffing by Keith Richards

It is my understanding, from reading these many posts by fans, that there will be at least a few old blues/old traditional songs on the new CD, due to be released some time in 2016. If at least two or three of these songs exhibit anywhere near the skill and intensity as shown in the above video, this new CD will be a masterpiece.

How can anyone play this well?

Well that whole clip is nothing short of fantastic. Keith's playing, Charlie hunched over like that, Bill's fingers. They are just miming, but Jagger isn't. He is great. At 1:55 one thing I had never seen, they show Jagger's dancing feet, and you can see all the black marks his shows are leaving by twisting like that.

The whole clip is playback. The dancing is live though!
They are fantastic. I love that guitar tone. I love that confidence. I love the Rolling Stones.

That is one part of the Stones.
Thank goodness there is so much more to the Rolling Stones than one genre of music.

I would say Gimme Shelter, That's the Rolling Stones!

Then I would say Respectable, That's the Rolling Stones!

Then I would say Worried about you, That's the Rolling Stones!

Then I would say.... etc etc

Variety is the spice.

Great clip, but they're in their 20s then and their 70s now. Is it fair to expect anything close that level of performance now?

Absolutely, they could do it. Would LOVE to hear them slay this one again.

Great Great Great. Whoa. The guy who put this up had great ears, what a gift!
I put the headphones right on for this one, incredible to hear everything so clear and distinct. Stu rules!!! They all do. Bill Wyman. Bill Wyman.
Keith right in the pocket & superb, this is so hugely great. Each of them.

This is the deep rolling boogie woogie that changed my life and entire musical thrust, and moved me to get into the entire history of this kind of music too.
This sounds so fresh and absolutely engaging. The contemporary Stones should listen to this over and over before they start pro-tooling around and micro-managing digital files and processors.
This is why (and how) I fell in LOVE with Rolling Stones music in the first place all those years ago, and this is the energy and sound I still crave and seek.

THIS is the stuff that Leavell and DJones can't really produce or even emulate very closely imo. Nor they seem to understand it on a soul level, at least in my estimation and experience.
Wow to think Keith is like 21 years old here! A triumph!

That clip is just there for something to watch. It's the studio recording.

Yes the studio cut of course, but great miming and presence....but it sounds extreeemely great & distinctive to me.

The uploader seems to have done his own, sort of, re-mastering or something. Anyway I seem to be able to really hear Stu and Charlie particularly well on this upload.
It's not high resolution or anything but it made me jump up for the headphones and press them to my ears for the ride, and there was Bill and Charlie upfront with Keith and it was soooo good. The whole truly 'rolling' thing I guess.
________________________________________________
In the youtube posting he writes:

"This song needed: Charlie's drums on both channels instead of only on the left. Louder ? [uploadsociety.com]
It also needed: Bill's bass more centered. And finally, it especially needed: Keith's guitar a bit sharper, clearer. So that's why I made this one. Enjoy!"

Also could someone slide me some deets about them recording this please? Been researching but not getting the inside scoop.
Or please refer to me a link or past thread here that has our posters chiming in on this session? TY

Thanks for this. Do you know if they were mostly recording live or what was being over-dubbed? How they were actually putting it together track by track in those early days w Ron Malo? How did he work them up in the studio?
haha I'm down the Rolling Stones rabbit hole again. Great informative post thank you Gaslight.

You're welcome.

I can not recall ever reading specifics to those early recordings past using 2 tracks or 4 tracks, with bouncing going on for overdubbing of backing vocals and percussion and whatever else they added. So they may have done a live lead vocal for some or a lot of those. They were doing a lot back then - as in, fast and loads of material. It may be easy enough to listen to the tunes and consider Jagger's vocal delivery - if it seems up, it may've been live.

I could be wrong but I think Jagger started overdubbing lead vocals around the time Paint It Black and AFTERMATH and ever since, for the most part.

I believe lead vocals were recorded separately pretty much from the get-go,
but for the instrumental part the Stones were always fans of the "live in the studio" approach,
much longer than most musicians. Keith still prefers it.

One story from the early days is about the vocal on Can I Get a Witness:
The recording was complete except for the vocal, and it suddenly emerged that Mick didn't know all the words.
So Andrew sent Mick sent out to get the sheet music. Apparently he ran all the way back and sped straight to the mic,
since everyone was hyper-aware that studio time cost a lot. You can kind of hear the strain in his voice on that one.

I love the Rolling Stones

A great Don Raye cover. Although I don't hear any danger here it's obvious that Keith was very deep into Chuck Berry style.

I appreciate what you're saying but it's been a long time since Keith shown that kind of dexterity. Still love him but just saying....
