the astonishing spaciousness of the studio version is just so gorgeous - that riff swooping around like some great splendid-plumed muscular and wild jungle birdQuote

I have to say, after someone shared that YouTube video by CandyFromStranger, I have a completely new appreciation of Monkey Man. The guitar sounds are AMAZING.
Hey Musicians - can you tell me what makes that slight tinkling sound at the beginning of the song - piano? It works so well to balance the guitars (or whatever the musical term is).
THANK YOU MONKEY MAN. Today's favorite Stones song for me - other than tracks from Exile mais oui.
Here's a link to the video for those of you who missed. Sorry I'm not clever enough to imbed the actual file...
Monkey Man Keith Richards
Paint it Black - you devil
Ha - well I cut my teeth on IORR by criticizing MR so I won't go down that road again...I'm ashamed to admit it - I confess to you my Rolling Stones brothers & sisters that I don't own Ya Yas. Nor have I ever listened to it. I hang my head in shame - I'm not worthy...I will make it a goal to get a copy ASAP. Midnight Rambler & allQuote

Love the track...the reason I don't like LIB as well as Exile - and it's a very small criticism - is that much of it sounds too clinically clean to me. Not enough grit. Tracks like Midnight Rambler, Live With Me an Love In Vain all sounded much better on Ya Yas, imo.

Was so happy to hear they played it on the 94/95 tour. Went to the first two nights at Wembley and they didn't play it. Damn. Was outside for the third night desperately trying to get a ticket but just couldn't get one.
So went back home - about five miles away to Swiss Cottage.
Got in about 25 mins after the set started and opened the windows as I could hear the pounding music being carried on the wind from Wembley Stadium. And to my eternal amazement there it was, the strains of Monkey Man riding on the cool breeze. Man, was that a buzz and a half.
Everything was put right though after I got a ticket for the Brixton Academy show and they played that night. So yes, I have seen them do it. And it's great live.
Wow - watched 'em all. Yeah - have to agree the last is the best or at least sounds the closest to the LIB version. THANK YOU!Quote

The Licks version is pretty damn good. But this one here is a bit off!
From the Voodoo tour in New Jersey:
THIS is the one that is on Four Flicks, which is pretty damn good. Amazing difference with the string section from the top one to this one:

Its vibraharp isn't it?
I love that song. I always imaging the jam it must have evolved from..Keith and Charlie..they get each others playing so well..
What a great example of pure Stones studio magic.
